    A story featuring two male leads and a shadow guard [thumbs up][thumbs up][thumbs up] The half-dead Prince Ye, He Junyan, has someone he can be proud of by his side: his personal shadow guard. Whatever He Junyan orders, no matter how small, he completes it flawlessly, even to an extreme degree. This shadow guard also possesses exceptional martial arts skills; it can be said that only a handful of people in the world can fight him to a standstill—he is practically the pinnacle of shadow guards. However, what He Junyan doesn't know is that his shadow guard harbors feelings for him—a homosexual relationship that is unacceptable to the world.

However, bound by his status and societal constraints, he knew this affection would not have a good ending, so he cherished the time he spent with his master. But even the strongest feelings cannot withstand suspicion and hatred, so…
