My Guide Is an Arrogant Jerk

Qin Sui, the all-purpose Guide of the White Tower, is S-rank. He is extremely arrogant, stunningly beautiful, and outrageously promiscuous.

Everyone in the tower calls him "cheap," "loose," and "filthy."

Qin Sui doesn't care in the slightest. He can even flirt right back: "What, jealous that other people get to sleep with me?"

Then he leaves everyone who wants him but can't have him furious with rage.

Shen Zhimi, an S-rank Sentinel, became a colonel at a young age. He is cold and rigid by nature.

Shen Zhimi detests libertines like Qin Sui. After seeing Qin Sui flirt with someone else firsthand, he immediately put him on his blacklist.

Then disaster struck. Shen Zhimi was gravely injured, and the entire White Tower was at a loss. Only Qin Sui could guide him.

The next morning, Shen Zhimi looked at the hickeys on his neck in the mirror. With a cold face, he called the whole thing "absurd," then sent Qin Sui an invitation to move in together.

Qin Sui: ... Is this kid schizophrenic?

-

Eight years ago, Qin Sui had an ambiguous relationship with someone.

That person was inexperienced and clumsy, always wearing a cold expression, yet would awkwardly come over to comfort him.

They had hugged and slept together, their heartbeats nearly deafening each other...

Then that person lost his memory.

He no longer remembered Qin Sui or the feelings they had shared.

When they met again, he even looked at Qin Sui with nothing but disgust.

So Qin Sui spent eight years in the tower alone, holding on to their feelings and memories.

Qin Sui had thought, Fine. Keeping watch over him is better than never seeing him again. Little did he know fate would give him a chance and bring the man right to his door.

Watching Shen Zhimi's sleeping face, Qin Sui stayed silent for a long time. Then he leaned down and left several hickeys on his neck.

"I don't care if you hate me. You're going to be mine."

-[Bonus Scene]-

After the two got together, the White Tower itself shook three times over.

The Guides and Sentinels couldn't understand why Shen Zhimi would choose Qin Sui. There had to be some ulterior motive.

Until one day, during a mass meeting held inside the White Tower by Colonel Shen Zhimi, his spirit companion, a white lion, kept rolling around at Qin Sui's feet, begging for comfort and wagging its tail to ask for pets.

Everyone looked at Shen Zhimi, whose expression remained as cold as ever,

then at the white lion spirit companion rolling around and making a scene,

and finally came to terms with it.

There was no scheme. He was just head over heels.
