Modern office worker Shen Mufeng wakes up to find himself inhabiting the body of a famously aloof master in the cultivation world. The original owner was an untouchable beauty, but Shen Mufeng is a comedian with a head full of dramatic inner monologues, constantly teetering on the brink between “keeping up the persona” and “letting his true nature show.”
He takes in Xie Xuan, the boy destined to become a world-destroying villain. He had planned to raise his disciple casually and stay alive, but can’t help showering the quiet boy with affection. Beneath the master’s cool exterior lies concern he can’t conceal; in the gloomy boy’s heart, an obsessive love quietly takes root.
As Xie Xuan’s dark lotus nature gradually awakens, the affection he once received becomes a suffocating shackle. He imprisons his master, tracing the other man’s features within the confines of a tiny space, unaware that this cage built in love’s name will one day ignite an all-consuming blaze. When a breeze enters the dark, is it salvation, or the beginning of ruin?
