[Two male leads] [Secret identity] [An icy, impassive master and his devoted, resilient disciple]
Jun Muxue is a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet someone takes over his body. By a strange twist of fate, his soul enters the body of another young man. As if things weren't bad enough, his hapless disciple, Mo Xingye, is badly injured and rescued by him. But Jun Muxue has no intention of revealing who he is. All he can think about is reclaiming his body. He assumes everything will fall into place, but the road ahead is full of twists and turns. What drives Jun Muxue to despair most is that, in a moment of carelessness, he becomes entangled with his disciple in an ambiguous relationship. Getting close to a cultivator on the verge of the Deity Transformation realm is no easy task. In the end, he fails to reclaim his body and only lands himself in deeper trouble. He pins his hopes on his disciple, but the body snatcher is cunning and plots against them at every turn. Somehow, Jun Muxue's identity is exposed to him, and he keeps driving a wedge between Jun Muxue and Mo Xingye until Mo Xingye comes to hate him. When they meet again, Mo Xingye has transformed into a vicious dragon, seemingly determined to tear him apart. Jun Muxue tells him the truth, but he doesn't believe it. Jun Muxue exhausts every means at his disposal before finally persuading Mo Xingye to join forces with him against the body snatcher. But the enemy has already laid a vast trap. When Jun Muxue sees a longsword thrust toward Mo Xingye, he acts on impulse and takes the blow for him, leaving Mo Xingye to watch him die in his arms. Fortunately, the soul-summoning ritual is complete, and Jun Muxue returns to his own body to settle the aftermath. He thinks this is the best ending he could hope for. Three years later, when they meet again, Jun Muxue finally realizes that, like someone else, he has no idea where he lost his heart.
