At sixteen, Jiang Du, the young heir of Beijing's elite circles, returned from abroad and founded his own company. By eighteen, he had become a business prodigy, living with all the confidence of a chosen son of heaven.
Then, quite suddenly, he developed a strange illness. He had been sick for nine years.
When he learned he wouldn't live to see a second summer, Jiang Du climbed onto a rooftop. But a boy suddenly dropped from the sky upside down.
His flamboyant blue hair filled Jiang Du's vision. Then a pair of narrow, aqua-blue eyes met his, and the boy yanked him down.
The boy caught the edge of the rooftop with one hand and held Jiang Du with the other. He looked down at him with a grin. "You have such a pretty face, big brother."
The thrill of freefall made Jiang Du's long-dormant heart pound wildly. For that instant, he felt alive.
Jiang Du said, "Have a thrilling romance with me. When I die, all my personal assets will be yours."
Shensu said, "Sure. I'll collect your body and make sure you look pretty."

Later, Jiang Du somehow lived much longer than expected. Then one time, while pretending to be unconscious, he discovered someone secretly giving him a blood transfusion.
Jiang Du caught him in the act and coldly said they were breaking up.
The wild boy gripped his fragile throat, yet didn't dare use even a fraction of his strength. He kept threatening him, too.
Jiang Du remained unfazed. "Get ready. You're marrying into my family tomorrow."
That night, Shensu held Jiang Du and said "I love you" over and over.
Shensu before: He'd seen too much death. He'd collect your body.
Shensu later: Even if I die, you can't die.
