The Heartless Path of Romance

Helan Xi is cheerful and lively by nature, but due to his constitution, he is forced to study the Path of Emotionless. The practitioners of this path are cold and silent, choosing their words sparingly. To fit in, Helan Xi has no choice but to suppress his true self and painfully feign aloofness. One day, however, Helan Xi accidentally… sleeps with his classmate, Song Xun. Upon waking, Helan Xi instantly loses his mind: *"I guess this damned path just isn’t for me anymore! Ahaha, life—life is full of surprises and unexpected twists!! And what’s with that look? Oh, you must be thinking I'm insane. That’s right, I’m insane! How shallow, how ignorant, how childish of me! Bet you didn’t expect this, Song Xun—you slept with a lunatic!!!"* Song Xun, who had always assumed Helan Xi was as reserved as himself: *"...Calm down."* Fortunately, their Path of Emotionless remains intact—proof that sleeping together doesn’t equate to affection. Once he finishes his meltdown, Helan Xi coldly approaches Song Xun: *"About me being a lunatic… could you keep it a secret?"* Song Xun: *"..."* ~ The consequence of two Emotionless practitioners breaking the rules to date: violent winds with every kiss, thunderstorms with every bed session. Mortified, Helan Xi wails: *"Please, save me! The whole sect knows when we kiss! I can't keep liking you this much… Alright—I hate people who snore in bed. How about you fake some snores when we sleep together tonight?"* Song Xun: *"."*
