    Their first meeting was marked by antagonism. Xu Yu's words, "There's no desire to share a peach," prompted the usually sharp-tongued little fox to raise an eyebrow and remark, "Xu's appearance is more than enough to carry his shoes." Upon their second meeting, Xu Yu appeared somewhat thinner due to an incident during his audience with the emperor, leading to further misunderstandings. A clash of titans ensues: one a powerful nobleman, the other a rough-and-tumble martial arts champion; one surveys the suffering of humanity from atop the clouds, the other carves his own path through the mud. Robes and jade belts conceal ambitions for governing the world, while rough clothes and scars hide a tender heart.

For those who enjoy political intrigue and dual male protagonist stories, this is for you!
