When Rong Chu was still a princess, she most loved bullying the young guard who had been by her side since childhood.
He was taciturn, stiff, and dull, and never said anything sweet. Every day, he also tried to stop her from going here or there.
But he had two good points:
He was handsome and dark-skinned.
No matter how outrageous her demands were, he would agree to them.
Day after day, he followed the princess, silently keeping her safe.
When the little princess complained that her feet were cold in winter, he would open his robe at the chest and let her warm her feet against him.
When the princess laughed and chatted with other men, he would look at them with an expression he couldn’t put into words.
When the princess smiled at him, his heart would give a jolt, and he would forget how to walk.

Rong Chu’s parents doted on her. She could have anything she wanted, whether it flew in the sky or swam in the water, and that was how she became so spoiled.
Her good days didn’t last. Today, for once, she hadn’t caused any trouble, but then Heaven itself started making trouble.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the mountains and rivers crumbled.
Her parents and elder brother all died beneath the ruins.
Then some self-important immortal from the heavens told her, “Child, I see that you have what it takes to ascend. I can help you cultivate and ascend!”
In her heart, she wanted nothing more than to hack the Heavenly Dao to pieces.
The self-proclaimed expert said, “To ascend, you must find someone named Chu Yu. He can help you.”
And so, foolishly, she really did as the words of that unknown, self-important immortal instructed.
That night, using the skills she had developed while living on the streets, she slipped into the world’s foremost sect, the Wanling Sect, without leaving a trace!
The terrain behind the Wanling Sect was complex, and the patrols changed shifts every three hours.
Unfortunately, a professional team spotted her. Knowing she was as good as dead, she was about to jump off a cliff when a 185-centimeter-tall, dark-skinned man with eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist appeared and saved her.
She was about to thank him, but when she saw his face, wasn’t he the young guard she had bullied for years?!!!
What should Rong Chu do? Let me break it down.
The young guard had transformed into the young sect leader of the foremost sect in the world!
Things couldn’t get any worse.
Would the young guard take advantage of her and get revenge? Use his authority as young sect leader to turn her into a stray dog, then make her kneel and torment her mercilessly?
No, no, no! Completely wrong! Here’s what happened instead →
The young guard said pitifully, “You never looked at me properly before. Can we get to know each other again today? My name is Chu Yu.”
What?
The young guard didn’t want revenge. He wanted to start over with Rong Chu?!
What?
The young guard was the very person Rong Chu had been looking for?!
What?!
…Want to know what Rong Chu chooses?
