The Burly Guide and the Petite Sentinel

[Devoted younger man | Size difference | Submissive tops the dominant]

This is a world consumed by contamination from meteorites.

Everyone knows that Sentinels are berserk warriors who enter contaminated zones, while Guides are gentle havens who use their mental powers to purify and soothe Sentinels.

And yet...

There always seem to be exceptions.

Xiao Youde grew up in District 4, a slum. He's hot-tempered, muscular, and 1.98 meters tall. He was sure he'd become a powerful Sentinel.

But on awakening day, he unexpectedly became a Guide. Not only did other people's thoughts pour into his mind, he was also forced to study 100 Ways to Take Good Care of a Sentinel, Cooking for Beginners, and A Guide to Mental Synchronization at Night...

To make matters worse, he was matched with Shi Xi, a petite upperclasswoman only 1.5 meters tall, a notorious S-rank elite Sentinel.

Rumor has it she's promiscuous and cold, having brief entanglements with countless Guides, but never letting anyone truly touch her heart.

Xiao Youde scoffs at this "strongest" Sentinel.

Until he sees her fall on the battlefield with his own eyes, and realizes her mental domain has already been deeply eroded by contamination...

"Senior, your mental domain is about to collapse. Why do you still reject me?"

He corners her, his mental tentacles winding around her body like chains as he forcefully strikes at her mental barriers.

"I don't need any Guide," Shi Xi says coldly under her breath.

"Is that so?" Xiao Youde sneers, running a finger over her cheek and whispering in her ear, "Then why is your mental domain calling for me?"

Let me in.

Let me rip through your cold exterior, lick your wounds, and purge every trace of contamination from you.

No matter how much you resist, I'll claim every inch of your soul.

[Petite, cold, promiscuous Sentinel vs. a hulking male Guide who's a clueless greenhorn at first and turns dark and domineering later]

[Attention]

* The male lead has POV chapters.

* Set in a fictional future with Sentinel and Guide lore, with a slight wasteland vibe.

* Loads of author-invented lore. Simple writing, no logic, written purely for personal tastes. There will be a love triangle, a power reversal, and the heroine has a dark past. The heroine is not a strong female lead.
