Oh No! The Lord's Shadow Guard Is a Heart-Stealing Thief!

Chu Mingheng, master of Xuanyin Pavilion, is aloof, cold-hearted, and proud. He has never cared for anyone. Though surrounded by countless favored attendants, not one has ever truly entered his heart.

Xuan Jiu is the least remarkable of his many attendants: humble and quiet, yet the one who has been with him the longest. When Chu Mingheng suffers a qi deviation, Xuan Jiu’s is the first face he sees.

After being goaded by others, Chu Mingheng unleashes all his fury on Xuan Jiu. Though tortured until he is barely recognizable, Xuan Jiu’s beautiful eyes still see no one but him. Chu Mingheng finds this unusual, but never thinks to explore what it means.

It is only when Xuanyin Pavilion falls and Chu Mingheng is abandoned by everyone that Xuan Jiu, his meridians all shattered, drags his broken body to get Chu Mingheng to safety. At last, Chu Mingheng realizes that Xuan Jiu has long since become an irreplaceable part of his life.

But he realizes it too late. Xuan Jiu dies before his eyes, and those eyes, once filled with love, will never look at him again. Distraught with grief, Chu Mingheng ultimately follows Xuan Jiu beneath the moon.

When he opens his eyes again, he has returned to the time before the tragedy began, and Xuan Jiu is still alive. At last, he can hold the one he loves in his arms once more…
