No Way Home in the Rain

Ye Lingxi, a disciple of the Guiyu Sect, was ambushed by his fellow disciples while saving a beggar child. They were both knocked off a cliff.

He thought they were doomed, but against all odds, someone came to their rescue.

Their rescuer wasn't invincible, either. One day, after he returned, Ye Lingxi found him feverish and delirious from an aphrodisiac. Half a day passed, and its effects still hadn't worn off.

Deep in the mountains, there was no hope of finding a doctor. Seeing how much his rescuer was suffering, Ye Lingxi steeled himself, sent the little beggar outside, and used his own body to relieve the man's condition.

But when the man awoke, he was horrified. He said nothing and fled in a panic.

Fine. They were even now, Ye Lingxi thought.

Five years later, he had taken revenge and gained control of the Guiyu Sect. The little beggar from years ago had become his disciple and a first-rate assassin in the martial world.

He never expected the wolf cub he'd taken in to bare its fangs at him one day.

Seeing that fervent, pleading gaze, Ye Lingxi didn't expose him outright. He only said, "I'll have someone bring you the antidote."

The wolf cub grabbed him, his gaze burning and fierce. "I don't want the antidote! I want you to cure me yourself, the way you did five years ago!"

Ye Lingxi: "…"

Before he transmigrated, Xiao Chen was straight. He had been hunted down and killed by his ill-intentioned adoptive father, so he despised gay men. He never expected that an accident would somehow lead him to sleep with another man.

Too shocked to explain, he left in a hurry without saying goodbye.

When they met again five years later, his heart suddenly started racing. It turned out he had never forgotten that accident.

But it seemed the man already had someone else by his side.

◇ The pairing is undecided; the top is a transmigrator.
