Xie Sihuai was sent to a manor in the mountains when he was very young, where he lived with a mysterious uncle.
His uncle's hands were cold, but he would gently pat Xie Sihuai's shoulder and soothe him to sleep.
His uncle was distant toward everyone, but whenever he saw Xie Sihuai, his lips would curl into a smile.
Xie Sihuai fell asleep in his uncle's arms and grew up under his uncle's guidance.
When he was sixteen, he woke from a dream on a stuffy summer night, drenched in sweat.
He pushed away his uncle's hand reaching for his forehead and jumped out of bed. After that, he never wanted to share a bed with his uncle again.
When he graduated high school at eighteen, his uncle took him to register at university. His roommate asked, "Is that your brother?"
Xie Sihuai was startled to realize that more than ten years had left no trace on Qi Wugui.
That was not the only thing about his uncle that raised questions.
Xie Sihuai had always known his uncle had a lover who had died many years ago.
He kept that person in a forbidden part of the manor where no one was allowed to disturb them. Whenever Qi Wugui brought them up, the softness in his gaze sent jealousy crashing through Xie Sihuai's chest.
After waking once again from a hot, oppressive dream, Xie Sihuai waited until Qi Wugui was away, then broke into the forbidden part of the manor and discovered the secret his uncle had buried for years...
The person in the black-and-white photograph had a face exactly like Xie Sihuai's.
"Sihuai, now that you've discovered your uncle's secret, what should I do with you?"
In the dark room, a pair of arms wrapped around Xie Sihuai from behind.
The chill against the back of his neck raised goosebumps. Seeing the familiar pale hand around his waist, Xie Sihuai lifted his own hand and covered Qi Wugui's cold one, sharing his warmth.
"He's dead," Xie Sihuai said.
"Qi Wugui, I can be your new husband."
Once, a man held the cold hand of an evil god and told them over and over, "I'll come find you. I promise I'll come back."
At first, Qi Wugui did not take the man's words seriously, thinking of it as nothing more than a brief affair.
Slowly, the evil god grew attached to the man who kept finding his way back to them.
In this life, before his lover could find them, Qi Wugui was finally able to find his beloved as a child.
And the lover Qi Wugui raised with his own hands says that he wants to take the place of his former self and become Qi Wugui's new husband.
Qi Wugui obediently lets Xie Sihuai pin him beneath him and replies with a smile, "All right."
