[Fake Sweet-Talker, Actually Tsundere Matchmaker Bottom * Scheming, Broken, Flirtatious Singer Top]
As a capable leader, you have to accept that subordinates make mistakes. Occasionally tying one or two wrong strings is no big deal.
But this is the first time anyone has tied a string to their own boss.
After all, immortals can't sever a string unilaterally.
Xue Yu glared at the young attendant before him, got angry, then got even angrier. Tying him to a mortal was bad enough, but how could it be someone with such an atrocious reputation?
This "mysterious man" was the foulest, most loathsome rat in the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, Xue Yu was an immortal who inspired love in everyone.
When these two powerful forces clashed, which one would come out on top?
Xue Yu wiped the sweat from his face. "Isn't it obvious? I'll discipline him until he hates me to the bone, then the string will snap painlessly."
To make Ye Shiyang hate him, Xue Yu pulled out every trick he could think of.
But all his mental preparation vanished the moment he laid eyes on the man.
Those legs, that waist, that face! That body! Xue Yu pressed his lips together, his heart wavering as he tried to brainwash himself: "I have to oppose him, trip him up, and make his life miserable."
(If only I could take him back to my palace as a collectible.)
After all that self-brainwashing, Xue Yu finally managed to be "sharp-tongued" while also leaping to Ye Shiyang's defense when people vilified him, slandered him, or even when he sank into loneliness.
He even comforted him in roundabout ways.
The ups and downs left Ye Shiyang's emotional state swinging between indifference, gratitude, hatred 1.0, falling in love, hatred 2.0, love, and heartbreak.
The red string between them grew stronger and stronger.
They couldn't date, but he couldn't bring himself to cut things off, and his fellow immortals kept pressuring him.
Forget Ye Shiyang, even Xue Yu was furious enough to quit on the spot. "I'm going back to Heaven. Stay single for the rest of your life! I'll outlive you, and then this red string will break on its own!"
The other man's eyes instantly reddened. Even his deliberately calm voice could not hide his true sorrow. "Right, I know everyone hates me. You hate me too. Someone like me shouldn't be tied to you."
Xue Yu: "...There you go again."
