[A belatedly remorseful, domineering Palace Master X a stoic, suffering Guard who has lost all hope and refuses love]
Two male leads + male-oriented fiction + soul transmigration + cultivation + Eastern fantasy
Lu Chen loved Mo Ye Han so deeply that he willingly became his outlet for desire and cultivation. He even took the highly poisonous Netherworld Flower of the Other Shore every day to increase his power and help Mo Ye Han win back the Xuanyue Palace from his junior fellow disciple, Yun Zhongyu. Yet Mo Ye Han always treated Lu Chen as a tool, with his heart belonging solely to his beloved Bai Lian. On the day he reclaimed his position as Palace Master, Mo Ye Han once again sought release with Lu Chen because Bai Lian was unwell. His coldness finally killed all hope in Lu Chen's heart. Poisoned by the Netherworld Flower of the Other Shore, Lu Chen planned to quietly vanish, body and soul, in three days and leave the cycle of reincarnation forever.
Mo Ye Han assigned Lu Chen to protect Bai Lian, but Bai Lian made life difficult for him at every turn to keep secret that she had hidden the Profound Dragon Pearl. She even schemed to push him into a lake. Mo Ye Han saw Lu Chen fall into the water and did nothing; instead, he indulged Bai Lian because her laughter pleased him. Broken in body and spirit, Lu Chen vomited blood by the lake in despair. On the way, he met Su Yunche, who saw through his circumstances. Lu Chen entrusted him with his final affairs, determined to find release in death.
Then a bolt of lightning brought Lu Chen's vanishing soul back together. He witnessed Mo Ye Han clutching his corpse, crazed with grief as he demanded to know why Lu Chen had left. This was where the story began: Mo Ye Han's feelings for Lu Chen were far from as cold as they seemed. The schemes of Bai Lian and Yun Zhongyu, the secret of the Netherworld Flower of the Other Shore, and the truth behind the Profound Dragon Pearl would all become key to turning fate around. Lu Chen's “death” might just be the beginning of uncovering the truth behind their tragic love and finding emotional redemption.
