Trapped In A Death Loop With My Beloved Warlord [BL]

"The world isn't ready to face what I would become if this—” his thumb pressed firmly on Zhou Yu's racing pulse, his eyes darker than usual. “—ever stops.”

*********

The fates were always cruel bastards. Why? Because no matter what Zhou Yu did in every lifetime to save his beloved warlord from a tragic fate, Sun Ce never died the same year, never the same day, never the same location, nor in the same manner of death.

Across one hundred lifetimes, for the crimes he committed in his first life, Zhou Yu was cursed to always watch the man he loved die right before his eyes while he was powerless to do anything.

War, betrayal, bloodshed... the story never changes.

But in the 101st rebirth? The gears of the world are churning in different directions. Demons were never meant to be a part of the equation and yet now they are.

At the end of the 100th rebirth, Zhou Yu watched a cunning demon rip through his beloved warlord's chest and disappear without a trace.

Now in the 101st lifetime, Zhou Yu dedicated himself to studying demons and tracking down the one who took Sun Ce from him. He's become a feared demon hunter, one with an ill reputation that even repels the human forces.

And this time, Sun Ce, young warlord of the Wu Commandery, survives the battles he was never meant to see. This time, he begins to remember through nightmares, through names he shouldn't know, through a growing ache in his chest every time he looks at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu has always known how to command armies, how to calculate risks, and how to win. But he doesn't know how to stop loving Sun Ce even though he promised he wouldn't.

And Sun Ce? He's too stubborn and hard-headed to stop pursuing the man he'd admired since his childhood.

But if Zhou Yu can't rewrite fate this time while battling old enemies using the dark forces of demons to spiral everything into chaos...then it may not be just Sun Ce who dies.

It may be the world.

"I will not deny what is in my heart, gege," Sun Ce said firmly, never tearing his eyes off his sworn brother whom he ached to hold in his arms. "I do not care for this illogical marriage. The one I want is you."

Zhou Yu shook his head. His next words pained him so very much, but they were necessary. "Do not force what is in your heart into mine. Stay within your boundaries, my Lord."
