Lin Yan, a literature PhD from Tsinghua University, woke one day transmigrated into the body of a farm boy in ancient times, finally gaining the family affection he had longed for in his previous life. He treasured that warmth and studied hard, passing the provincial examinations at nineteen and becoming the cool, aloof Third-Premier Scholar admired by everyone in the capital.
He meant to steer clear of the original story’s madman and live a quiet life, but somehow he became entangled with a man using the assumed name Shen Jinghan. The man dressed in plain clothes but concealed a noble background, protected Lin Yan time and again, and kept drawing closer. Lin Yan thought he had found a kindred spirit, never realizing that the man’s gaze had long since crossed the line.
Having never understood love in his previous life, he was overwhelmed by this fierce, sincere affection in his new one. Only later did he learn that Shen Jinghan was Shen Yu, the most favored imperial grandson of the Great Yin dynasty. Secretly investigating a case in the capital while suffering from a strange poison, Shen Yu had fallen for him at first sight.
When the poison flared, he tried to set Lin Yan free. Once cured, he openly courted him and doted on him without restraint. As political intrigue churned through the court, he swept away every obstacle for Lin Yan. When others framed him, Shen Yu stood by him and took care of everything.
People said that love between men was not uncommon, and that it had long been accepted among the capital’s great clans. But the imperial grandson was determined to defy heaven itself. He knelt before the palace and refused his betrothal, then lowered himself before the Lin family and said, “I am willing to marry into the Lin family and protect Jingxing for the rest of his life.”
Lin Yan was cool and slow to warm, but he knew how to repay kindness, and he knew how rare true affection was. Faced with a man who cherished him like a precious jewel, he finally let down his guard and gave him the rest of his life.
