Young Master Wan'an

The gist of the story: One thinks it's coercion, the other thinks it's revenge, but they've actually been in love with each other for a long time.

Both are sexually inexperienced | shou is blind and will never regain his sight | mutual pining | deeply entangled misunderstandings |

One thinks he has taken the other by force, and is filled with guilt and a desire to make amends.

The other treats it as revenge, carefully laying his plans to bind their hearts together.

They both think they have their own agendas, never realizing their love has long been growing in secret, wild and unchecked.

The Ji family is suddenly convicted, stripped of its title, and exiled. The whole family sets out on a perilous journey to their fiefdom.

The young emperor leaves no survivors. Assassins lurk everywhere, river pirates block the waterways, and the Lantern Bureau is out for blood.

Everyone says Ji Nan, the blind concubine-born son of the Ji family, is gentle, weak, and no match for anyone.

Pei Heng thought so too. That's why he forced him to submit all those years ago.

Until Ji Nan's true nature was revealed: blind but armed with hidden blades, ruthless, and never forgiving the slightest offense.

What Pei Heng had thought was coercion was merely Ji Nan's way of turning the tables on him. Revenge came in due time, but one of them had already fallen without realizing it.

Free-spirited, upright, emotionally steady gong x ruthless, vicious, vindictive shou

Pei Heng x Ji Nan

Invincible young general x blind physician who likes killing people

Pei Heng: As a youth, he was reckless, riding his horse so carelessly through the Imperial Academy that he nearly trampled a blind man. Later, too young to understand his own feelings, he forced someone to become his bedchamber companion. Afterward, he waited on him hand and foot, hoping to make amends. He never imagined the blind man was that same blind man, or that the coercion wasn't really coercion at all. The so-called coercion was just the blind man's little trick for putting a leash on a dog.

Ji Nan: Born blind, he has a dark heart and never lets an offense go unavenged. Someone nearly trampled him with a horse, and how could he let that grudge go? So he used himself as bait to make the distinguished Champion Marquis wait on him hand and foot. But he, who never let revenge wait a day, ended up coaxing Pei Heng for three years.
