Xie Jiangli spent his whole life parting with people. As a child, he was separated from his mother; as a youth, from the person he loved. The cold stares of his family and He Lian Ting's cruel words made him retreat. In the end, the engagement jade pendant He Lian Ting discarded crushed his last hope, and he left for good.
When they met again, he was a transfer student, shunned by everyone, while the other was the academy's top student, a heaven-blessed prodigy admired by all. He hurled cruel words at him, but Xie Jiangli could now take them in stride.
It wasn't until they entered a secret realm and a remnant soul from a past life gave him a hint that He Lian Ting realized he had hated the wrong person.
In the years that followed, the exalted Lord of Thunder bowed his proud head, crossed seas of fire, and offered his heart's blood, all to earn one glance from him.
But Xie Jiangli only stroked the water qilin in his arms and pointed his sword at the demon clan, saying calmly, "Young Master He Lian, the people come first. Personal feelings... can wait."
