However, what he doesn't know is that the personal shadow guard has a different kind of feeling for him, a homosexual love that is not allowed by the world. Years of close companionship, coupled with the Shadow Guard's exceptional talent, intensified He Junyan's possessiveness. He wanted to arrange the Shadow Guard's marriage because 'Achen' was his.
