Song of Eden

Cheng Feng somehow ended up in the Garden of Eden and became the chosen one.

Though he holds great power, he spends his mornings drinking tea and his evenings washing up to cook, acting like he has no desires and wants to be left alone. In secret, however, he studies ancient poems and cracks their coded messages, determined to escape.

Song Yu accidentally discovers Cheng Feng's secret. He thinks he won't live to see the next morning, but then finds his life getting better and better.

Two male leads. They scheme against each other in the early stages, then help each other in the later stages.
