Shen Qingyan, a general of Nanxiao, is an invincible legend who wears a demon mask. His martial prowess strikes such fear into the soldiers of Beiliang that they tremble at his name. Yet beneath the mask is a face more breathtaking than any woman's, as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

But even the mightiest hero cannot withstand an emperor's suspicion. The emperor of Nanxiao cuts off Shen Qingyan's provisions and reinforcements, watching as he is defeated and captured. Now a prisoner of war, Shen Qingyan is to be thrown into Beiliang's convict-slave camp.

Pei Lin, regent of Beiliang, holds power over the entire court, and his heart is colder than winter ice. Everyone fears his ruthlessness, but no one knows he has long since lost interest in everything, until he encounters Shen Qingyan among the prisoners.

The man is covered in wounds, yet defiance still burns in his eyes. His unyielding spirit pierces Pei Lin's heart.

Pei Lin immediately claims him. In the regent's manor, he grips Shen Qingyan's chin and sneers, his voice leaving no room for refusal. “Want to save the lives of the hundreds of soldiers under your command? Then get on your knees and be my pet.”

He forces Shen Qingyan to swear a blood oath: “I willingly become Pei Lin's pet and acknowledge him as my master for life. If I break this oath, may I die a terrible death!”

Watching Shen Qingyan kneel in humiliation and accept, Pei Lin thinks he has found an amusing plaything. He never imagines that this control, which began with humiliation, will end with them both drowning in love and hatred, unable to tell who has won or lost...

Later, Shen Qingyan yields to no one in front of others, but willingly lets himself be pampered and spoiled by Pei Lin.

And Pei Lin is more than happy to dote on his one and only little treasure.
