A Handbook for Raising a Stranded Sentinel

Male lead is the pursuer + older top + Guide/Sentinel + hurt/comfort

After rejecting the First Prince's marriage proposal, Pei Chenxue, the White Tower's Chief Guide, handed in his resignation letter and said he was "getting on in years" and planned to retire in the countryside.

But retiring alone would be far too boring, so before leaving, he also wanted to adopt a puppy.

It had to be gentle, happy to be petted and kissed, and not bite when cuddled to sleep.

It had to be obedient. Pei Chenxue was lazy and wouldn't repeat a command twice.

It had to be easy to look after, able to sort out its own three meals a day, and take care of Pei Chenxue's meals too.

Most importantly, it had to be good-looking. Guide Pei Chenxue was a notorious, incurable beauty enthusiast at the White Tower.

After much deliberation, he decided that the ace Sentinel from the rebel group Guangxi, who had been imprisoned in the Endless Prison when the group was destroyed six years ago, would be perfect. Chief Pei was quite taken with those beautiful gold-and-red gemstone eyes.

Once all the paperwork was complete, Pei Chenxue finally had a puppy of his own.

A puppy named Zhuyan.

Pei Chenxue x Zhuyan

Top is 34, bottom is 26 (the top isn't really "getting on in years," haha).

H/C is short for hurt/comfort, referring to the process of a protagonist gradually healing after suffering severe trauma.

The couple absolutely adore each other, and their love is unwaveringly mutual. This is not suitable for readers who are extremely possessive about their preferred character dynamics.

The blurb may be revised and expanded. The final version will be the one available when the story begins.
