A murderous mission in Qingchuan Mansion led Yao Que, the resolute and decisive living king of Hell, to meet Li Ying, a Taoist priest with great medical skills.
This man's eyebrows were always gentle and smiling, but Yao could see something deeply hidden in that kindness.
He only regarded him as a man of superior character, cherished his talent, and only wanted to recruit this sharp blade into the White Tiger Division.
On the day the mission ended, Yao Que rode his horse to the top of the mountain on the outskirts of the city. Looking at Li Ying, who was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a wooden sword, he leaned over and asked, "Are you worried?"
The night wind blew by, and the man only replied in a low voice, "No..." Before turning around and walking down the mountain, leaving only a thin figure behind.
During those years when her identity was a mystery, she was not allowed to see her biological mother.
The more noisy around him, the lonelier he seemed.
The only thing that could give him a place to stay was the dilapidated Yuzhen Temple in the back of his home.
There was only a sparse incense in the temple, and there was only a female Taoist priest named Quan. She had clear eyebrows and good medical skills. She would always treat him gently and never look at him strangely.
He always went to the temple to help sweep fallen leaves and dry herbs. He listened to Taoist Master Quan's lectures on medical science and Jianghu affairs. He also heard her mention a name occasionally, her tone always being proud and sour.
She told it over and over again, hiding a mother's half-life longing for her child.
Li Ying was sitting by the medicine stove, twisting the dried herbs in her hand, listening quietly, and engraved the name she had never met before, along with the dazzling past, into her heart word by word.
He was wondering at that time whether my mother would miss me as much as Taoist Master Quan...
Director Quan's child is truly the happiest person in the world.
It was also from that time that a seed was planted in his heart.
He thought that one day, he would see this person with his own eyes and see what this young general who had been missed by the Taoist leader for half his life looked like.
Intention: Two people who have been separated from their loved ones since childhood and grew up in cold eyes. One has frozen his heart in the killings, and the other is gentle and self-sufficient in loneliness. Li Ying relied on the legend of Yao Que he heard to survive his lonely childhood. Only after meeting Li Ying did Yao Que find the warmth of the world in the cold power struggle. They are each other's antidote and the only place where each other can put their sincerity in a torturous fate.
