[Sickly, Contradictory Chancellor VS. Mad, Wolfish Tyrant]
Xiao Hanjin, starved of love, was saved by the kind Shangguan Weiruo. But before he could become a wise ruler, he received word that Shangguan Weiruo had become a monk.
Shangguan Weiruo suffered one grievance after another at Xiao Hanjin's side and wanted only to leave the mortal world and get away from him. But Xiao Hanjin was a wolf cub: once he set his sights on someone, they were doomed for life. A wolf cub never lets go of its prey. It has to drag it back to its den and hide it away.
And Shangguan Weiruo was the prey!
He even hid him in the imperial harem!
"You pity other people, so why won't you pity me!" Xiao Hanjin cried out. Shangguan Weiruo protested, "If I hadn't pitied you, you wouldn't have caught me!"
Wasn't it supposed to be true that nothing hurt more than a heart that had given up?
"Weiruo, either don't provoke me, or don't even think of running away. Once you get involved with me, you'll never be rid of me for the rest of your life!"
"Then can I have a proper, public status?"
