   This is an ancient, bittersweet, melodramatic, and slightly angsty novel about a cunning and obsessive senior brother, Xiao Ran, and a resilient and patient junior brother, Lin Huaijin. Xiao Ran resented his junior brother, Lin Huaijin, for taking his position as sect leader, until he opened a secret diary. This diary was filled with Lin Huaijin's years-long unrequited love for someone. Xiao Ran was certain that the person Lin Huaijin longed for every night was his fellow disciple, Liu Zhi Qiu. He gripped the diary tightly, his smile chilling. This book would be his best weapon to manipulate Lin Huaijin. But he didn't know that every page of the diary contained the secrets of his own life.

Whatever he orders, no matter how small, he completes it flawlessly, even to an extreme degree. The shadow guard also possesses superb martial arts skills; it can be said that only a few people in the world can fight him to a draw, making him the pinnacle of shadow guards. However, what he doesn't know is that his personal shadow guard harbors special feelings for him—a homosexual relationship that is unacceptable to 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. However, he recently discovered something was amiss with the Shadow Guard; he had lied to him, more than once. This was unacceptable to He Junyan. But what he didn't expect was that the lie, once exposed, revealed a heart-wrenching identity: a 'medicine man'! Feelings surged within him, and he finally understood his own heart.
