Shen Jinghong pretended to be mute in the Jiaofang Division for three years.
No one knew that this silent piano player was once the emperor's favorite little prince, and no one knew that he saw his mother-in-law die in the fire in the palace with his own eyes. He hid his identity and pretended to be deaf and dumb just to survive in troubled times.
Until the man pushed open the door of his piano room.
Xie Yuan, the only king with a different surname in the current dynasty, led the army to pacify the northern border at the age of thirteen, killing people like crazy and cold-bloodedly. Everyone is afraid of him. But when Shen Jinghong saw him for the first time, he knew that this was the boy he saved from the dead on that rainy night ten years ago.
Xie Yuan came to listen to the music and spent a lot of money; Xie Yuan checked his background and pressed on him step by step;
Shen Jinghong thought his disguise was perfect, but he didn't know that Xie Yuan had already found out all the truth - including that he was the mysterious young man who risked his life to save him ten years ago.
One dare not admit it, and the other dare not say it.
But some things can hide their identity but not their heartbeat. When Xie Yuan kissed the corner of his mouth tremblingly on a thunderstorm night, and when Shen Jinghong couldn't bear it and kicked open the door of the study room, all pretense was shattered in that sentence, "You fucking kissed me, I'm not responsible, right?"
There is a sea of blood and hatred between them, the suspicion of imperial power, and the swords and shadows of the people in the world. But he said: "Whatever you want to do, I will accompany you. Whatever you want to get back, I will get it back for you."
Ten years ago, it rained and I saved your life. In a city ten years later, you will protect me for the rest of my life.
