[An irresistibly charismatic, battle-hardened master who knows it, and a cold, taciturn powerhouse who is fiercely loyal in private]
Two equally strong leads; a touch of the adored-by-all trope, focused on friendship and respect
One letter of denunciation: Xie Linzhao reported his father for human trafficking and was imprisoned himself. The once-brilliant prodigy who had stood against the monsters’ invasion fell from grace...
Had he really fallen for good?
No! This was a new beginning!
At an auction, Yu Jingyan, once Xie Linzhao’s servant and now a lieutenant general, bought the former pride of the empire: his former master.
But what was really going on? This “master and servant,” or more accurately, this pair of “lovers,” had finally reunited.
The auction marked the start of Xie Linzhao taking control of the situation, and the start of these “archenemies” joining forces once more.
Xie Linzhao gave Yu Jingyan a grand, passionate confession. Yu Jingyan offered Xie Linzhao all his loyalty and devotion.
Later, the resistance finally revealed itself to the world. It was not until they held a decisive meeting that people learned Xie Linzhao was one of them! He was even the teacher of several of their technical experts!
Later still, Xie Linzhao uncovered the truth behind the monsters’ invasion, and the pain crashed over him like a tidal wave.
He had Yu Jingyan take down the portrait that symbolized his honor, then forced himself to get back on his feet and lead the fight.
But when the battle was over and he saw his mother in his office, he finally couldn’t hold back his tears.
