Everyone knew Xie Wei, the former aristocratic playboy. After the dynasty fell, his family declined, and he joined the army. Captured during the war, he became warlord Zhang Che's “godson.”
There were leering glances, veiled jibes, mockery and pranks.
Xie Wei didn't care. He colluded with the old dynasty, undermined the Zhang family, and set the city ablaze. Just when he had finally carved out a place of his own, Zhang Che dragged him down with him.
Reborn, Xie Wei is even more attentive to Zhang Che. In secret, he sows discord between Zhang Che and his father, while plotting to turn the soldiers against them.
But why is Zhang Che looking at him more and more strangely?
When Xie Wei watches coldly as Zhang Che kills his father, just as he did in his previous life, what follows is a chain around Xie Wei's wrists and Zhang Che's hot breath against him.
“If I use you until you're ruined, will you stop betraying me?”
