Top: Mu Fengyi
Bottom: Bai Ze
He is Mu Fengyi, an ambitious prince of a different surname. He is Bai Ze, a hidden guard whose origins are a mystery. From Mu Fengyi's fief in Yunzhong to the treacherous political heart of the capital, they are master and servant, comrades in arms, and the only light in each other's darkness. Countless brushes with death forge a passionate bond amid the cold struggle for power, but in the end, they cannot escape a parting in life and death: one lives forever, the other sleeps eternally.
A forbidden art defies the heavens and grants them seven days together again, only to leave an even deeper mark of parting. Millennia pass, and they reunite in the modern world, their roles as master and servant reversed, their identities turned upside down. Their memories remain as vivid as yesterday, and their love has never faded. The former prince bends to serve, while the former hidden guard now holds a position of power. What never changes is the devotion that runs deep in their bones. When danger strikes again, he resolutely sacrifices himself, trading everything to bring the other back to life: “If I could start over, with my loyal hound by my side, why would I need the world? Without you, I have nothing.”
In ancient times, princes and their secret guards went further and further down the path of vying for power. In modern times, master and servant, a powerful behind-the-scenes leader who controls a city and possesses immense wealth, insists on acknowledging an ordinary college student as his master.
I love novels about princes and their secret guards. The author's writing is excellent; the emotions between the two characters are described very delicately, and some parts really tug at your heartstrings. 👍
