Mist Novel

Ji Yushi carries a burden few understand—hyperthymesia grants him perfect recall of every moment, every thought, every sensation. His eidetic memory makes him a genius, capable of comprehending what others cannot. Rumors paint him as devastatingly beautiful, unattainably handsome, and openly gay.

When Tianqiong assigns him to support the seventh squad, the military community erupts. Everyone knows the truth about their captain: Song Qinglan is a legendary fighter who rose through the ranks in under two years, wielding extraordinary power on the battlefield. He's also known for his disdain toward administrative placements—and particularly toward people he views as mere decorations.

"We don't need pretty faces sitting around," Song Qinglan declares publicly. "We need warriors willing to bleed for this squad, not geniuses who think they're above fieldwork."

But circumstance changes everything.

When their squad faces a desperate scenario, Ji Yushi transforms the mission. Each shot strikes true. His tactical brilliance peaks. He fights not like a genius advisor, but like a soldier worth his weight in blood.

Song Qinglan finds himself on his knees with only one request: "Adviser Ji... please don't leave us."

There's a vulnerability in his voice now. "I'll give you everything."

Yet Ji Yushi harbors a secret Song Qinglan will never discover—until perhaps the day everything unravels.

Every night, his mind becomes a prison. Memories suffocate him. Nightmares compound. Sleep eludes him. There exists only one antidote to his torment, one person whose presence brings him peace.

That person is Song Qinglan.
