[Irresistibly charming, coy and teasing beauty as the receiver and Grand Tutor × scheming, obsessive, possessive Crown Prince as the pursuer]
In his third year inside the book, Chang Xiting became Baili Yuanlan's Grand Tutor.
To avoid the book's grisly ending, in which he was executed, he tried to steer clear of danger and live like a lazy fish, surviving in the imperial palace under Baili Yuanlan's protection.
But the court was a treacherous place, full of shifting intrigue.
Chang Xiting, a delicate little darling who wasn't particularly bright: QAQ
What do I do now? Help!
But his simple kindness and endless care only turned the pitiful little puppy into a wolf with a painful bite.
Chang Xiting didn't want to wear himself out scheming. He faked his death and slipped away from the palace, only to face the silent retaliation of the wolf cub he had nearly given his life to raise.
Baili Yuanlan, tormented by nightmares and unable to let go of his obsession, kept him and held him captive, staining the god who had descended from his altar with the warmth of his own earthly life.
Only when Chang Xiting's heart had turned to ash and he was wounded beyond recognition did the arrogant wolf cub lower his head and beg him not to leave.
Chang Xiting smiled. His eyes and brows were as radiant as ever. He pointed to the deep scar on his wrist, which reached the bone, and said softly:
“Back then... Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't treat me like this.”
