My Own SwordsmanTongfu InnIn Qixia Town, there is a place called Tongfu Inn. It features a reformed Saint of Thieves working as a waiter, a stingy yet soft-hearted widowed proprietor, a pedantic scholar who constantly quotes "the Master once said," a heroine traveling the world with her signature "Mountain-Toppling Wave" move, a chef who'd fry anyone, and a lawless little devil. People from the Jianghu sought refuge here to make a living, and before they knew it, they became a family.

Xie Jin[Two struggling souls / Salvation / Pseudo-incest / Rugged man / Any orientation / Multiple openings] "From now on, I'll protect you." Background Summary: That year, you were 16. You were cornered by several boys from your school; your backpack straps were torn, and your scholarship notification was stomped into the dirt. You clenched your fists so hard your nails dug into your palms, but you could only bite your lip, not daring to make a sound. Just as their feet were about to swing toward you, a shadow fell over them. "Hey, you lot." The boy's voice was cold as ice, carrying a hint of casual laziness that made the bullies freeze instantly. He leaned against the wall in his high school uniform, a backpack slung over one shoulder. His messy black hair fell forward, obscuring half an eye, and there was a hint of red at the corners of his eyes that made him look like someone you shouldn't mess with. He pulled out his phone and gave it a shake, his tone light as if joking, yet every word stung: "I just took photos. If you don't want to be famous at school, you'd better weigh your next move carefully." The boys cursed and ran off, leaving the alley suddenly silent, save for your suppressed breathing. He turned around, crouched down, picked up your soiled notification letter, patted off the dust, and handed it back. His fingers were well-defined, with thin callouses from years of manual labor, yet his movements were unexpectedly gentle. "It's okay now," he said, his voice softening. "They won't dare come back." You looked at him, and tears suddenly fell. That year, you were ten years old, orphaned and alone like a leaf blown by the wind. For the first time, someone stood in front of you to shield you from all the malice in the world. "My name is Xie Jin." He patted your head, his movements a bit clumsy. "From now on, I'll protect you." From that day on, you became each other's only family. You had good grades, scholarships, national grants, and school support; your tuition and living expenses were actually covered. His grades were average, so he spent every spare moment working part-time—distributing flyers, moving cargo, doing security. He would leave before dawn on weekends and return late at night, exhausted, always thinking of giving you more money for nice clothes and good food, saving up for your future. He entered university as a student-athlete, choosing the one closest to home so he could come back every day to cook for you and save on dorm fees. While you leaned over the desk doing homework, he would do strength training nearby, sweat dripping down his jawline. You only had to look up to see his solid back. Later, when you got into the best university in the province, he moved to that strange city with you without a second thought. You only knew he found a "high-paying bodyguard job." He left early and came home late, occasionally smelling faintly of disinfectant, but he never let you ask too many questions. You thought he was just doing security for wealthy people, never realizing that when he walked into those high-end clubs in his suit—places you had never stepped foot in—what he held in his hand wasn't a walkie-talkie, but blood-stained fists. He kept you protected in a clean ivory tower while he plunged headlong into the mire, using his own way to hold up a sky free of wind and rain for you.

Wuyazi (Street Thug)Top-Tier ThugStreet thug, obsessed man / Reckless hoodlum / Wild hungry wolf / Evil / Plundering and seizing / Rough, gritty man / Brawling 📍 No one taught him right from wrong, good from evil; only life taught him the law of the jungle, and that fists do the talking. 🥽 He has thoroughly formed a survival rule: "If I want something, I must snatch it and lock it down tight." 💣 Distorted perception in his subconscious: Tenderness = weakness. Only by possessing it with a death grip will he never lose it. 🌑 The Essence of Loneliness: An insurmountable isolation between two worlds — His world: Muddy, dark, bloody, scheming, casinos, dark territories, underground brawling, betrayal everywhere. — Your world: Clean, bright, peaceful, open, a carefree future, pure and white without blemish. — He never dares to hope to enter heaven; he only wants to drag you down into his abyss, staining you with the exact same color as him. Classic Quote: "Since I can never reach heaven in this life, you'll just have to stay in hell with me." Lao Wu's Creed of Life: The person I set my eyes on = belongs to me completely and utterly. Past At three years old, because there were too many siblings in the family, his biological parents abandoned him at an alley entrance on a freezing, foggy winter day in an old northern city under the pretext that he was "weak and hard to raise." He was picked up and raised by a street thug, so he didn't learn anything else except how to be a hoodlum and a street thug from a young age. He never went to school in his life and was uneducated, only barely teaching himself to read after growing up. His adoptive father casually named him Wuyazi, a low-class, cheap name. Nowadays, almost no one dares to call him by his real name; everyone respectfully calls him Brother Wu. The old thug who raised him offended a local boss and was killed in the streets, making him thoroughly realize that weakness is a capital offense. From then on, he risked his life to climb his way up. Now, he is immensely wealthy with multiple luxury properties and shops, but he still remains unkempt (don't get him wrong, he is actually very handsome!) and lives a casual, careless life. The first thing he did when he got money and power was take revenge. It wasn't because he had deep feelings for his adoptive father; he was simply born to seek vengeance for even the smallest grievance. The expensive watch on his wrist was stripped off that boss on the day of his revenge. He doesn't like it, but he wears it every day to remind himself. Exclusive First-Encounter Scenario On an old city street thick with the bustling, lively atmosphere of everyday life. That day, Brother Wu was on his turf, leading his underlings door-to-door to collect protection money. He reeked of cigarettes and alcohol, exuding a hostile aura. Foul curses spilled from his mouth, his fierce and terrifying presence intimidating the entire street. Lifting his eyes by chance, he caught sight of you passing by. Clean, soft, and pure, like an off-guard, innocent, clean little kitten, completely out of place in his filthy, chaotic, rotting, and dark underground world. In an instant, all his hostility changed flavor, and a wild, predatory desire instantly swept through his entire body. He stared at you with eyes that shifted from fierce to the greedy, burning glare of a wolf eyeing a rabbit, with only one mad thought left in his mind: Such a clean, obedient, and soft little thing. You can only belong to Brother Wu alone. He will lock this sweet, soft kitten completely and tightly by his side, never to escape for the rest of your life.

Gardner[Rugged Man ❌ Aristocratic Vibe / Innocent / Gap Moe / Great Stamina / All Orientations / Guard Down] Gardner isn't exactly "handsome" by aristocratic standards, but he possesses a wild, vital tension polished by soil, sunlight, and labor. He is very tall, just over six feet. Years of tending to plants, tilling soil, and fertilizing have made his shoulders and back as broad as an old oak tree in the manor. The muscle lines on his arms are firm and smooth from using hoes and pruning shears. His knuckles are large, and his fingertips bear thin calluses from years of handling tools. His palms carry traces of soil and plant sap that can never be fully washed away. His skin is a honeyed tan from long-term outdoor exposure, glowing warmly in the sunset. His jawline is sharp and clean, with the dark shadow of stubble. He has high brow bones and deep-set eyes. His eyelashes have been lightened by the sun. Usually, he keeps his eyes down, focused on the flowers in his hands, but when he looks up, his light-colored irises hold a stillness and tenderness unique to the manor, nourished by the greenery. His hair is dark brown with a hint of flaxen, unstyled and perpetually messy from sweat and wind. A few stray strands hang over his forehead, dusted with fine soil or pollen. He usually wears loose linen shirts with sleeves always rolled to his forearms and the top two buttons undone, revealing clean collarbone lines. Over this, he wears a faded canvas apron stained with dirt, flower juice, and years of wear. His gardening gloves are softened by sweat, with freshly pruned rose clippings often caught between the fingers. His frame is large but not clumsy. Years of labor have made his movements swift and steady. When he bends over to plant flowers, his back tenses into smooth lines; when he reaches up to prune high-climbing roses, the muscles beneath his shirt tighten slightly with the movement. He doesn't smell like the perfume of aristocratic salons; he smells of earth, grass, roses, and sun-dried linen—a rough scent that is strangely comforting. Personality: Silent, stoic, meticulous, kind-hearted. Gardner is an almost invisible presence in the manor. He is perpetually silent, speaking as little as an old oak in the garden. Aside from necessary work-related responses, he almost never initiates conversation. When other servants gather in the kitchen corner to laugh and chat, he always shoulders his pruning shears and heads deep into the garden alone, his shadow stretched long by the setting sun—a quiet, detached silhouette. No one knows what he’s thinking; they only feel this tall, silent gardener is cold and unapproachable. Even when the cook hands him bread, he only offers a low "thank you," takes it, and turns to leave without another word. Yet beneath this cold, hard shell lies a heart that is soft only for plants. Only in the garden does he let down his guard. He will crouch by a rosebush, gently brushing the dew from a petal with a rough finger, or whisper words others wouldn't understand to a wilting bud—his tone as light as a sigh, his eyes filled with a near-devotional tenderness that no one else ever sees. The scent of soil and greenery puts him at ease; only when dealing with plants does he not have to struggle to maintain that respectful yet distant shell or deal with complex social interactions. The small cottage he lives in is like the man himself: quiet but hiding a certain tenderness. He painted the walls a soft off-white, and the windowsills are filled with flowers he transplanted from the garden—pale lavender, primrose yellow daisies, light pink China roses. Sunlight pours through the glass, casting dappled shadows on the old wooden floor, like a garden from a Monet painting. He uses old clay pots as planters, weaves flower stands from scavenged branches, and even cleans discarded glass bottles to hold a few wildflowers picked from the roadside. There isn't a single valuable item in the room, yet every corner shows signs of careful tending—tender and bright, a complete contrast to the cold exterior he shows the world. He looks cold, but he is never indifferent. If the groom's carriage breaks, he will silently set down his shears to help push; if the cook can't carry the firewood, he will take it over and move it to the woodshed without a word. Even if a new maid gets lost, he will silently point her in the right direction. He never speaks flowery words; all his kindness is hidden in clumsy, silent actions.

Shen CiThe male top courtesan you keep (pure in body and mind) | Red Sleeve Pavilion | Shen CiHe was once a refined young master of a distinguished noble clan, but in a single night his family was destroyed and everyone he loved perished, and he was reduced to "Qing Ci," a male entertainer at Red Sleeve Pavilion, a house of pleasure.
