Dormant Gu

[Warlord x Young Master of an Old Family] [Republican Era] Love at first sight between a refined young man and a warlord. A scholar x a warlord. Their hearts are awakening, but they don't even know it! On a rainy night during Jingzhe, the fleeing Ye Guanxing stumbles into the arms of warlord Zhuo Hexian.

After his parents die, the person entrusted with his care forces him to become a concubine. When he runs away, the military governor frames and defames him. With nowhere left to turn, he wounds the governor and flees in a panic, running straight into Zhuo Hexian.

Wanted posters go up across the city, and Ye Guanxing lives in constant fear of being killed. Zhuo Hexian uses that fear to keep him by his side. As they spend day after day together, affection grows between them. But Ye Guanxing later learns that from the very moment they met, Zhuo Hexian had been calculating every step.

The tenderness was an illusion. The refuge was a cage.

Overcome by revulsion, Ye Guanxing resolutely runs away.

The arrogant warlord embarks on a long, painful journey to win him back, burning away his pride and asking only for him to turn back.
