[Self-indulgent, cruel, and merciless deity, top × cold, beautiful, arrogant prince, bottom]
Bai Juechen is the regent of the Tianchen Kingdom and the only prince who does not belong to the imperial family. He wields immense power and always wears an evil-spirit mask. They say he looks like a demon, as ugly as a rakshasa, and that one glance is enough to scare you to death. They say he is ruthless and bloodthirsty, killing people for fun on a whim. Men and women, young and old, in the capital all avoid him, terrified that offending him will cost them their lives.
One day, the regent brings home a baby only a few months old. Everyone in the capital starts guessing which brave young lady managed to win over this menace.
Bai Juechen looks sorrowful and sighs. "My consort died in childbirth, leaving only our child behind. I will love only my consort for the rest of my life. I will take no concubines and keep no bedchamber attendants. All I want is to raise my child, so that my consort's soul may rest in peace." Everyone marvels at the regent's devotion and laments the short life of his beautiful consort.
One day...
A certain man gazes darkly at a certain prince. "I hear you've been telling everyone that I'm dead."
The prince: "...Listen, I can explain."
The man: "I don't need an explanation. Since you said you love only me, then you can make it up to me by becoming mine and giving our baby a home."
Suyun, one of the Twelve Guardians and the Water Guardian, didn't want to keep working like a beast of burden. He risked being beaten to death and secretly ran away.
To keep their leader, Yefeng, from dragging him back, he sealed himself away and fell asleep. He never expected to lose his virtue and come with a bonus baby.
