City of Misfortunes

Lin Chen never thought he'd end up as a cheat for a little brat who crawled out of a scam den. Chen Kai never thought that inside the broken bead around his neck lived a centuries-old monster. One has no body, only a remnant soul, obsessed with fighting his way back. The other has no background, only his life, obsessed with staying alive. "You survive first." "You help me gather materials." "I'll teach you bone forging." "I'll run errands for you." Two down-and-out people, one sleepless city, one bead. Dual male leads. Neither is better off than the other; together, they survive. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: City of Misfortunes — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
