There are people in this world who are born exceptionally gifted. They can effortlessly achieve what takes others decades of dedicated cultivation. Such people are called geniuses.
And Bian Wang was one of them.
He joined a sect, vanquished demons, and rose to become the strongest cultivator in the world.
When he opened his eyes again, Bian Wang found himself back at the age of fifteen, when he had been at his most destitute.
Something calling itself a System told him that he was the protagonist of a male-oriented novel. Though he was now poor and struggling to get by, if he joined a sect and cultivated, he would one day become the strongest cultivator in the world and have countless women in his harem.
He believed the first part, because he had indeed accomplished it in his previous life. As for the second, he had certainly rescued those women along the way, but after that, he had barely seen them again.
Since he had already been the strongest, of course he wanted to live differently this time.
He would lie flat.
This time, he met his greatest rival from his previous life ahead of schedule. Back then, this man had always been a step behind him and had invariably been defeated by him in the end.
Bian Wang had never known his rival very well in private. He had only heard that the man was dull and rigid, and that after becoming sect leader, he was extremely strict with his disciples.
But when they met again, Bian Wang realized that wasn't the case at all. His rival was gentle and considerate, spoke softly and kindly to him, and protected him at every turn. Bian Wang was delighted to cling to his coattails.
It was just... the more his rival looked after him, the stranger it felt.
Until one day, his rival came to confess his feelings, blushing.
From childhood, Jiang Yue Bai had devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation. Nothing could shake his resolve in the slightest. But at fifteen, when he joined Jingyun Sect, he met someone.
At first, he thought this person was not to be trusted and remained on guard. But later, the man risked his life to save him, and Jiang Yue Bai realized he had misunderstood. The man was in poor health, so Jiang Yue Bai took extra care of him. He was lax in his cultivation, so Jiang Yue Bai protected him.
One day, while they were exorcising a demon, they strayed into an illusion. It was said that the illusion would conjure the most beautiful women in the world to tempt and bewitch anyone who entered. But the person Jiang Yue Bai saw was no peerless beauty. It was a familiar face.
After that, Jiang Yue Bai began to dream. The intimate scenes in his dreams were just like what had happened in the illusion. In the end, he would ask the man whether he liked him.
Jiang Yue Bai could not lie.
He did. He liked him.
