Lin Yichen (Lin Chen) wanted nothing more than to kill Huo Yanxi.
He tried, failed, and got a three-year pact in return.
For those three years, he gave his body and soul to Huo Yanxi.
Huo Yanxi hated Lin Chen.
Lin Chen had tried to kill him. Of course he should hate him!
He did just that, and succeeded.
He tormented Lin Chen in body and soul, teaching him to submit and obey, leaving him with scars of pain that would never fade.
Lin Chen thought they were enemies, that all they felt for each other was hatred, and nothing else.
Only when the knife that had once failed to pierce Huo Yanxi's abdomen struck him in another way did Lin Chen finally realize...
What lay between them had long since become more than simple hatred.
Lin: Didn't you say that the wise don't fall in love?
Huo: Yes, I did. But there's another half to that saying...
The wise don't fall in love.
But meeting you makes it hard to stay wise!
