A powerful, aloof and proud emperor (recipient), cold as ice in public but clingy and devoted in private x A steadfast, loyal, free-spirited and captivating Guardian General, second only to the emperor, whose deep affection is reserved for him (pursuer)
For twenty years, he stayed by His Majesty's side, eliminating every danger around him and doing everything he could to fulfill his wishes and commands. But as the years together passed, he slowly fell deeper in love. He had only wanted to protect the emperor and give him a peaceful life, asking for nothing in return. Yet after one exception and one dangerous moment after another, the emperor finally saw the feelings for what they were.
*Though night had long fallen, the capital of Huadu still shimmered with lights. Yet all the stars in the sky paled beside the fleeting smile of the person at his side.
*Chen Qingyu: I came into this world utterly alone, but when I leave, I hope to take everything in it with me.
*Pei Junyi: I don't care for the betrothal gifts, the wedding procession stretching ten miles, the phoenix crown and bridal robes, the eight-man sedan chair, or even a proper wedding. I only want you by my side for the rest of my life.
