Loyal Shadow, You Can't Save Me

That winter, when Bai Chen, commander of the shadow guards, first arrived at the Crown Prince’s residence, he saw the prince dressed in bright red at first glance. One look, and it was love for eternity. From then on, he would follow him through life and death, never betraying him in any lifetime.

He was his lover, and also the commander of his shadow guards.

Ye Chengxi was both the little crown prince’s father and mother. He had come here to help the child ascend the throne, but who could have guessed the plot would go off the rails? The heroine was gone, replaced by someone who had never appeared in the original story. The Crown Prince fell in love with that person and had secretly loved him since the age of ten. At eighteen, he finally married the one he had longed for. But Ye Chengxi’s System went dormant. Was it all a conspiracy, or a chance at redemption?

Can those caught in the game understand what it means?

The one moving the pieces is right before your eyes. Can you see them?

“May you live in peace all your life, with nothing ever amiss.”

“May everything your heart desires come to pass, and may you live forever without regret.”
