But his grandfather doesn't want him to grow up into an idle second-generation rich kid, so he forcibly sends him to Kunlun to study under a master. Still, lucky people are lucky wherever they go, and there's never a shortage of people ready to favor them.
Yun He has always been spoiled, and thinks everyone else's affection is only his due. By the time he realizes something is wrong, he has already unknowingly accumulated one romantic debt after another...

Ao Feng: From the protection of the Dragon Palace to his vigil in the Heavenly Court, Yun He's cousin Ao Feng has worried himself sick over him. The tears Yun He shed when he was young, after their grandfather forcibly sent him away from the Dragon Palace, fell into Ao Feng's heart, hot and burning. Even after all these years, they have never dried. That is why, as an adult, Ao Feng is so determined to bring Yun He back to the Dragon Palace, asking him again and again. Ao Feng knows that what he wants to bring Yun He back to isn't just the Dragon Palace. He wants the intimate, carefree days when they kept each other company and had only each other. He asked many times, but how could Yun He, at the height of his success, agree to return? By the time Yun He stumbled, hurt himself, and wanted to go back, the elder brother who had always stood behind him was gone.

Fifth Senior Brother: Yun He and his Fifth Senior Brother studied together at Kunlun. Neither was willing to lose, and whenever they were together, they always wanted to settle who was better. They never expected that their rivalry would become such a habit that even when they confessed their feelings, they had to compete. That competition led to a misunderstanding, and the two passed each other by. Years later, when they met again in the mortal world, they had both taken on new identities. One was He Jizhen, a gifted writer famous far and wide; the other was Zhang Ruoxu, in a hurry to assume an alias and still somewhat bewildered. Neither knew the other's true identity, but the familiarity of their old companionship drew them together at first sight. Yet immortals and mortals walk different paths, and what stands between them is surely more than the high wall of worldly convention.

Ling Jun: Yun He's small act of compassion that day led him to give away a box of pastries. By a stroke of fate, it brought about an immortal bond and planted a seed of goodness. Ling Jun remembered the kindness he received that day and quietly kept an eye on Yun He for years. Only when Yun He started drinking to drown his sorrows and letting himself go after his mother left did Ling Jun ask someone to introduce them. He appeared at Yun He's side as a friend, offering comfort and companionship to help him work through his grief. But as time went by, the knot Yun He untangled became one in Ling Jun's heart. It turned out that years of watching over and accompanying Yun He had awakened feelings of another kind in him. Once Ling Jun realized this, what should he do about the many admirers around Yun He and the vague, ambiguous feelings between them?
