Yan Qinghe is a rare wonder, one in ten thousand years: someone with the fate of a lone star who still managed to ascend to immortality.
As soon as he arrived in the Celestial Court, his looks earned him the title “The Celestial Court’s Most Beautiful Flower.” What kind of flower? A flower on a high, sheer peak! As if being beautiful weren’t enough, he had a terrible temper too!
He coldly brushed off colleagues who tried to return his kindness, and scoffed even more at seniors who made eyes at him.
Yet he’s fallen so low that he has to take field assignments to earn merit, or he’ll have nowhere to live.
Worse still, on his very first field assignment, the South Heaven Gate collapses, leaving him stranded in the Ghost Realm with no way back.
Luckily, the Ghost King is a good sort. He not only takes him in, but cuddles him to sleep, too.
Unharmed Mu Ziyun: Looks like I’m your lucky star.
Yan Qinghe: I’m your father.
He’s utterly merciless, but Mu Ziyun seems a little strange somehow.
Yan Qinghe swears he really didn’t think much of it at the time.
But what happened later shocked not just him, but the whole world!
The Ghost King humbles himself and turns into a little bird for love, all to make the beauty smile! He even confesses and gives him little red beans, saying, “Red beans are the symbol of longing, but they can’t compare to how much I long for you.”
Yan Qinghe flies into a rage and clears the table: “Who are you trying to fob off with a few lousy red beans?!”
But the Ghost King is unexpectedly pure-hearted. Seeing him act like a ferocious wolf dressed up as a puppy makes Yan Qinghe shiver.
In the end, he gives in, looking both willing and deeply unwilling: “Can we keep it a secret relationship?”
