The lives other people lead: schemes for power, struggles for the throne, and legends from times of war.
The life I lead: freezing all the time, unable to sleep, haunted by a jade pendant, hunted down, and forced to save the whole world.
I'm Yan Yuan, the last survivor of the Jin kingdom. I look like a cool, otherworldly master, but inside I'm just a luckless wage slave.
Other people find treasures and get cheat powers. I found a supercharged pendant of negative energy from the Nine Provinces.
This blasted jade doesn't bring wealth, protect me, or boost my cultivation.
Its only function: torment me every night, amplify all my gloomy feelings, and attract every villain in the city to hunt me down.
All I wanted was to hide my identity and eke out the rest of my life.
Instead, I was forced to become everyone's darling and the savior of the world, saddled with the Nine Provinces' mess and sent south to work.
At least I picked up Ji Yan, a handsome royal with a built-in hand warmer.
His only flaws: he's too protective, too patient, and so devoted that I feel guilty about slacking off.
The great powers of the age, ancient demons, and rulers of the warring states are all caught up in a frenzy.
They fight for power and the world.
Me? I just want my fever to break, a full night's sleep, no one hunting me, and a peaceful life for once.
Everyone else is on an epic quest to save the world. Me? Forced to play the hero, saving the Nine Provinces while shivering from the cold.
