Xiao Jingyuan, the most secretive ruler of the dynasty, wielded power in both the government and the public, but was plotted by a traitor. His cultivation was completely destroyed, he was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. He hid in Xinghua Village in the south of the Yangtze River for three years to recuperate from his injuries. He suppressed his sharp edge and pretended to be a taciturn scholar living alone. No one knew that this seemingly frail man once held thousands of miles of mountains and rivers at his fingertips, and could decide the world's life and death with just one word.
Adou, a little boy from the farmer's house next door, was a kind-hearted boy. Seeing that he was alone and frail and sick, he carried a bamboo basket up the mountain every day to collect fresh herbs and quietly placed them at the door of his courtyard. It became the only warmth and light that Xiao Jingyuan had during his three years of loneliness and recovery. He calmly watched this soft little bean grow up slowly. The possessiveness and tenderness in his heart had already grown wildly without anyone noticing, and he regarded this small Xinghua Village as his own paradise.
Adou's brother Shen Qingci is the evil hunter that everyone in Xinghua Village avoids. When he was a child, he broke his right leg while protecting his younger brother, and has been lame ever since. He has a cold and taciturn temperament, but his agility is extremely strong. He never misses when hunting in the mountains, and the cold aura around him makes the villagers afraid to approach him. Only towards his younger brother Adou, he hid the utmost tenderness and doting, and protected Adou with every possible care.
No one knew that Shen Qingci, who was as cold as stone, had already developed a strange feeling for the seemingly weak scholar next door. And Xiao Jingyuan's gaze had already surpassed the ignorant Adou, and was firmly locked on this limp but tall Orion who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
It was a cold winter that year, with heavy snow sealing the mountains and a biting wind. Xiao Jingyuan's old injury relapsed, and he couldn't stand the cold, so he huddled on the cold bed. In the middle of the night, there was a gentle knock on the closed wooden door. Shen Qingci, who was covered in snow, leaned on a wooden cane and stood in the wind and snow. His cold voice contained a hint of unnoticeable embarrassment and said word by word: "My brother said you are afraid of the cold, so let me warm your bed."
With just one excuse, two hearts that had secretly promised each other were shattered.
Xiao Jingyuan looked at the Orion who had been gentle to him for three years, and all the imperial edge hidden in his eyes turned into tenderness and affection. He recuperated from his injuries for three years and gave up the opportunity to immediately return to the court to rule the world, just to guard Xinghua Village and his Orion Lang.
When the turmoil in the court broke out again, traitors came looking for traces, and the powerful people and the most important people were in front of him, Xiao Jingyuan sneered: Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are not even half as good as your features. In this world, I want it, and you, I want it even more.
Let's see how the person in power behind the scenes sheds his coldness for the one he loves, weaves a tender love network in Xinghua Village, and how he regains control of the world when necessary, protecting him for the rest of his life, taking him to see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and bringing the best of the world to him.
Intention: Love for others is welcomed by everyone
