Shen Shen has no heart.
He is gentle and reliable, the best teacher in the border town.
He loves neither the world nor himself.
With no great ambitions, all he wants is a quiet, steady life.
Until Zhou Xun, the spoiled and sunny heir to the Prince of Duan, barges into his life.
"Sir, how about putting on a little act with me?"
He is the Prince of Duan's most beloved adopted son, a celebrated war hero.
Yet he has always lived in the shadow of the lost legitimate heir.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, his name, "Xun," has been his mission: to search.
He sought out Shen Shen, intending to recruit him as a military strategist and secure his own position.
But he slowly fell for the man, whose eyes were always calm and unruffled.
During an assassination attempt, Shen Shen shoved Zhou Xun aside, taking a blade through the chest.
Before collapsing, he said, "The border... must not descend into chaos."
Frenzied, Zhou Xun tore open his blood-soaked clothes, trying to stop the bleeding
then spotted a birthmark beside the terrible wound, one he recognized from a secret document in the prince's residence.
The heir he had spent half his life searching for.
The man he had only just realized he loved with all his heart.
The cause of his father's death.
All three were joined, bloodily, in the same chest.
