Flaming Destiny | Fushigi Yuugi

Ruka Hiiragi is an ambitious yet lazy person, constantly thinking of things he wants to accomplish but too unmotivated to start.

Not that anyone can really blame him. When people already expect things to go his way, why bother proving them right? So, out of sheer pettiness, he does the opposite. Lukewarm effort becomes his ideal way of life.

But tell him-is this karma?

Getting entangled with this weird, overly naive girl named Miaka was never part of the plan. And yet, somehow, she's dragging him toward this mysterious book when all he wanted to do was enjoy a peaceful nap!

The real absurdity, however, begins when the impossible unfolds before his eyes, the Four Mythical Beast Gods, the Seven Celestial Warriors, Four Empires, and an unreasonably beautiful emperor who won't stop staring at him.

Ruka blinks, his mouth twitching in disbelief. If he remembers correctly, he was a perfectly straight man. But looking at this emperor, who is even more stunning than a woman, he might just need to rethink some things.
