[Incredibly oblivious, doesn't realize he's in love, devoted sentinel top x smooth and capable in public, instantly tongue-tied around the top, slightly prickly beauty guide bottom]

Jiang Heng is an S-rank sentinel at the Central Tower. Qin Yi is an S-rank guide at the Central Tower. Childhood friends who grew up together, the two have a 100% sentinel-guide compatibility rate and are a match made in heaven. The Tower planned to have them hold a bonding ceremony and become the strongest partner duo.

However, during a support mission, Qin Yi's "mistake" led to Jiang Heng's father dying a terrible death.

When Jiang Heng heard the news, he broke down and left Qin Yi with just one sentence: "Let's never see each other again."

Then he disappeared for three years.

During an emergency mission, Jiang Heng lost himself in thought on the battlefield, and his mental landscape was on the verge of collapse. Only bonding with Qin Yi could save his life. The Central Tower had no other choice but to bring Qin Yi in to help.

Qin Yi: "What? If you want me dead, just say so."

But a life was at stake, so their grievances had to wait. Qin Yi steeled himself and went in.

He never got the chance to be beaten up by his enemy like he had imagined. Instead, under the influence of his bonding heat, his enemy had his way with him.

Jiang Heng: "When I woke up, I was groggy and felt something was off. It was like I could sense another person's presence."

Qin Yi: "I might as well have died."

After a dangerous mission, Qin Yi was seriously injured saving Jiang Heng. While caring for him, Jiang Heng suddenly came to a realization.

An enemy wouldn't risk his life to save me like that...

Qin Yi groggily opened his eyes. The moment he saw the person in front of him, his vision went black. "Pity me, do you? Your partner's tough enough not to die, and if a guide dies, a sentinel can always find a new partner."

Jiang Heng quickly coaxed him when he saw where this was going. "I'm not looking for anyone else! Don't say things like that!"

Qin Yi wouldn't be consoled and got stuck on the idea. "If I die, you can just find a new partner. You'd be glad to see me pay with my life anyway, wouldn't you?"

Jiang Heng panicked. Unable to get him to stop talking, he kissed him in desperation.

Qin Yi fell silent at once.

A few quick notes:

1. The basic sentinel-guide worldbuilding in this story comes from online sources; everything else is my own setting.

2. Two strong leads, both devoted only to each other, with a huge mutual crush. A bittersweet romance that gets incredibly sweet in the end!

Devoted, possessive, fatherly CEO top (dual timelines: 32 and 17 years old) x sunny, healing office worker bottom

When Cheng Yu'an was at a loss in the cutthroat job market, he suddenly received an offer for a CEO assistant position with a salary of one million a year.

The job seemed tailor-made for him, and his boss, Lu Tan, was handsome, wealthy, gentle, and considerate.

Thinking that a dream job and true love had fallen from the sky, Cheng Yu'an one day discovered that he was actually a white-moonlight "substitute" who could be dismissed with money.

His beautiful dream shattered overnight. Looking at the "Today is a good day to make a wish" notification on his phone, Cheng Yu'an suddenly had a wicked thought: "I promise to eat both meat and vegetables for the rest of my life. Please, divine powers, make my salary stay and take that annoying boss away!"

But when he woke up, he found 17-year-old Lu Tan, looking thoroughly annoyed, lying beside him and kicking him. "Who are you? Why are you in my bed?"

Cheng Yu'an was ecstatic. "My wish really came true?! The annoying boss turned into a kid. This'll be so easy!"

He rushed into the office, only to see President Lu sitting in his chair and staring at him coldly. "So you do know you have to come to work. Did you finish comforting your little lover?"

Cheng Yu'an: eyes wide in shock.jpg

Lover...? No, that's not the point! Where did the underage boss at home come from?! And who's paying my salary?!

He wanted to get the upper hand, but instead he got pinned down twice as hard.

President Lu pushed him down onto the living room sofa, keeping a sharp eye on the firmly shut bedroom door. He taunted him, "You're my personal assistant. Tell that brat to stop taking up all your time."

Seventeen-year-old Lu Tan sneered through a crack in the door. "Hah, the old man can only make threats and work big brother to death with overtime. Unlike me: I'm young, I can go all night, and I know better how to make big brother feel good."

Cheng Yu'an: I've learned my lesson. Please spare me.jpg

One day in his final year of high school, Lu Tan woke up to find a strange boy lying beside him. That boy lit up his bleak youth like a shooting star, then disappeared without a trace.

After searching for him for years, Lu Tan seemed to have finally found him, but there was a clingy little brat by the boy's side.

But it didn't matter. This time, Lu Tan thought, he'd keep him firmly by his side. No one would ever steal him away.

Moral: Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility.
