    This is a story about a prince and his shadow guard [smile]. It features two male leads. The protagonist (shou) was half-dead for many years in the early stages, and the other protagonist (gong) voluntarily became a medicine man to save him, but he didn't know this at the beginning... [What] The prince and his shadow guard [thumbs up] are sweet. The other protagonist loves the protagonist very much and is an exceptionally good man, but the difference in their social status is huge, so the other protagonist is very insecure [smile]. The other protagonist is a devoted shadow guard with explosive martial arts skills, and the other protagonist is a proud, suspicious, and handsome prince [shy]. The half-dead Prince Ye, He Junyan, has someone he can be proud of by his side, namely his personal shadow guard. As long as it is something he orders, no matter how big or small, he can complete it excellently, even to the extreme. The personal shadow guard also has superb martial arts skills. It can be said that only a few people in the world can fight him to a draw. He is simply the ceiling among shadow guards. However, what he doesn't know is that the personal shadow guard has special feelings for him, a homosexual relationship 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. 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. "How can the person I cherish most, He Junyan, suffer such torment!" The love he dared not hope for was reciprocated—something Ye Chen had never even dreamed of. However, bound by his status and societal norms, he knew this love wouldn't have a happy ending, so he cherished the time spent with his master. But even the strongest feelings cannot withstand suspicion and hatred, so…
