In an ancient empire, power struggles and conspiracies were part of everyday life. Against this backdrop, the story of a prince and his shadow guard, both reborn, begins:
Moonlight washed over the quiet depths of the prince's residence. Prince Mu Zichen stood by the window, his deep eyes reflecting the stars, while his heart was as dark as the night. He remembered that he should have died in a carefully planned assassination. Yet fate had given him a second chance: he was reborn.
Beside him stood a silent figure, still as a shadow: his shadow guard, Jiang Che.
In their previous life, Jiang Che had died protecting him. Reborn, he swore to make those who had plotted against him pay for what they'd done. He also vowed to protect this foolish little shadow guard, who had been too afraid to confess his feelings until the very moment he died.
