Heavenly Master Li Buyi, under the alias Li Xin, used the forbidden technique of soul transfer to survive in the mortal world for over a thousand years.
Every sixty years, he had to endure the agony akin to being sliced to death, suffering through the cycle over and over again.

The only obsession that kept him going through this endless reincarnation was a single wish:
to find Chi Yu’s soul and bring him back to life.

That man had been his senior brother who raised him, the god who pulled him out of hell, and… his lover.

In this hopeless search that spanned centuries, as long as there was even a sliver of hope, Li Xin refused to give up.

Perhaps the heavens took pity on him. After a thousand years of bitter searching, a miracle finally happened — they were reunited.

Li Xin seized Chi Yu’s hand tightly, staring at him without blinking.
“Senior Brother, is it really you?”

But the man before him only looked at him coldly and shoved his hand away, reprimanding,
“Mind your manners. I am a ghost official, and you, a living soul. Step aside immediately!”

He doesn’t remember me?
Li Xin stood frozen, speechless.

“I’ve been searching for you for a thousand years, and you think you can just say you don’t remember? How can it be that easy!”
Li Xin’s eyes reddened with emotion.
He was determined to cling to Chi Yu no matter what — even if it cost him his life, he would stick to him relentlessly.

“Senior Brother, it’s alright if you don’t remember me.
I remember you — that’s enough.”

Chi Yu had been a ghost official for many years and had encountered countless demons and monsters,
but he had never seen a situation like this before. Furious, he shouted,
“Impudence!”

“This is impudent?”
Li Buyi took the opportunity to pull Chi Yu into his arms, whispering near his ear,
“We’ve done even more outrageous things than this.
Would you like me to help you remember, Senior Brother?”

—

After returning to the Underworld, Chi Yu found himself unable to forget Li Xin.
He finally decided to return to the mortal world to find him and uncover the truth about his past.

In Li Xin’s secret chamber, he discovered another part of his own soul.
After merging with it, hazy fragments of his memories surfaced — revealing the passionate and intimate past he once shared with Li Xin.

It hit him like a bolt of lightning.

He was my junior brother!

How could I have… fallen in love with my own junior brother?!((Not related by blood))
