Bloodstained maple leaves, a pitch-black shadow, and flashing blades: it all seemed to be the source of every nightmare.
Reborn, Gu Xici decided to stop fighting with his sworn rival, Ye Shu, and search for the truth behind his murder. At the same time, he happened to discover a jade pendant bearing Ye Shu’s maple-leaf insignia. He remembered seeing the same insignia on the pendant worn by the black-clad figure on the night he died, and began to suspect Ye Shu.
Once the seed of suspicion is planted, the urge to investigate is impossible to resist. So he decided to secretly follow Ye Shu.
The imperial preceptor, who was always hard to find.
Gu Xici came from a family of military officers and had no taste for such underhanded tricks. But to get to the truth, he had no choice but to follow the preceptor in secret and use that jade pendant to find answers.
He hadn’t expected Ye Shu to catch him.
The two got into a fierce fight.
Against all expectations, Gu Xici lost to Ye Shu.
With no other choice, he swallowed his pride, confronted Ye Shu, and came clean.
That was when he discovered that the jade pendant concealed a huge secret and conspiracy, one connected to Ye Shu’s identity as well. After spending some time together, the two hit it off and decided to investigate the truth together.
