After Becoming an Outcast of My Sect

[Ruthless, cold beauty bottom x Formerly gloomy, crawling-around-and-running-his-mouth top who later falls hard]

Before Qin Wenxue was exposed for cultivating demonic arts and harming his fellow disciples, then fled with his followers after his master, Lord Lingyun, selflessly brought him to justice, he was recognized by all as an unprecedented genius, one seen only once in a thousand years. He was the Sword Gate Sect's chosen successor, a cool and dazzling beauty, a moon in the heavens no one could reach.

After he disappeared, stories about him, some thinly veiled and some explicit, began circulating on the market because of the many people he'd once spurned.

--If they couldn't have the heavenly genius, then everyone would take a turn trampling him into the dirt.

Time passed. Lord Lingyun had been in seclusion for years, and successive natural and man-made disasters had left the cultivation world short on talent. It was just the right time for Qin Wenxue to venture out, as one of "us notorious sect traitors."

Qin Wenxue knew that the senior brother he'd loved for so many years seemed to be searching for him. They'd practically grown up together, but his senior brother had once hated him bitterly, and neither of them had done the other any favors. Qin Wenxue had always assumed his senior brother planned to drag his enemy back and kill him out of spite. But the moment they met, his senior brother ran over with a regretful look, pouncing on him like an abandoned dog reunited with its beloved owner.

Qin Wenxue: "?"

Haven't I been cleared of the charges yet?

1. This is a 1v1 in some parts, with lots of melodrama. The bottom is beloved by everyone, and anyone involved with him can be considered a virgin. There's only one top in the blurb because the author was too lazy to write more.

2. Male-male enemies-to-lovers story. The top is gloomy and nasty, and the bottom isn't a perfect character.

3. This novel contains a lot of feminization, objectifying gazes, and passerby fantasies about the bottom.
