Everyone feared Xie Linyuan, sect master of the Lingxiao Sect. Shen Zhiwei alone was unafraid.
He arrived in the capital with no money or influence, yet used his wits to outsmart villains and turn the tables. He took on bullies, toyed with the powerful, and solved strange cases. With nothing but a silver tongue and a head full of schemes, he became a living saint and a great benefactor in the eyes of the common folk.
Others: “Sect Master Xie is cold and ruthless. He kills without blinking!”
Xie Linyuan: “Whatever Weiwei wants, I’ll give him.”
Shen Zhiwei: “All I want is to quietly pretend to be a fool...”
Xie Linyuan chuckled. “Keep pretending, and I’ll kiss you until you stop.”
Shen Zhiwei’s eyes curved with a smile. “Would you really dare, my lord?”
No one knew that the decisive and ruthless Sect Master Xie had long since fallen deeply for this clever, perceptive scholar in plain clothes.
You use your wisdom to bring peace to the realm; I’ll use my power to protect you for the rest of your life.
