After the Beautiful, Powerful, Tragic One Ran Away, They Became the Alliance’s Beloved

After solar storms engulf Earth, the rule of the pure-human organization Qiming collapses. Its holy son, Elias, flees aboard a ship with Qiming's secrets and vanishes without a trace.

After he escapes, Mu Fenghuo rules with an iron fist and establishes the Resonance Alliance, vowing through gritted teeth: "Whether alive or dead, I'll grind Elias to dust!"

Deep in an underground cave, Elias sneezes. "Achoo! Who's secretly cursing me behind my back again?"

Oh, right. He seems to be a remnant of the old regime. By the rules of the trade, he's supposed to be hunted down and exterminated!

Mu Fenghuo tracks Elias down and arrests him on the spot.

Leaning against the wall, he says coldly, "Did you really think you could escape my grasp, Holy Son?"

Elias picks at his mask. "Who are you? I don't know you. Please leave."

Mu Fenghuo traces his outline with his gaze, his eyes deep as an unfathomable pool. "A jewel will never be covered in dust."

Those beautiful lake-blue gemstone eyes belong in his hands. No one can take them away, and he absolutely won't let anyone else have them.

Elias is rarely afraid of anything. Thousands of meters in the air, hundreds of meters beneath the water, deserts and glaciers: he has never hesitated for a moment.

But when Mu Fenghuo gazes at him without hiding his feelings, Elias wants to run, if only for an instant.

Five years apart have done nothing to change Mu Fenghuo's aggressive possessiveness.

Elias once held a position of power as Qiming's chief scientist, but his father stole all his research results. In everyone's eyes, he was a "pretty vase," adored and held in the palm of their hands, with countless admirers.

All his life, he has struggled to escape the world's prejudice and malice toward him.

When he returns to the Alliance, everyone assumes that the two leaders will never meet. Onlookers wait for a show, but instead, they get a marriage certificate and Mu Fenghuo's wedding banquet.

The Alliance's top brass: "Is that right? Arch-enemies? Pure hatred? Hello?"

Mu Fenghuo: "I know many of you have a crush on him, admire him, and want him for yourselves. Sorry, he only loves me. You don't stand a chance."

They think the two have finally reconciled, but Mu Fenghuo discovers that Elias has an ulterior motive. He used his influence to return to the Alliance so he could find a symbiotic pod to cure his poison.

Elias: "...Do you want to hear me explain myself?"

Mu Fenghuo: "You deceived me about your feelings just to weigh the pros and cons?"

After all their twists and turns, they really are still a pair of bickering lovers!
