(Historical fantasy, Han Zirui vs. Xiao Yiqian)
Prologue
He was a good-for-nothing with no spiritual roots, while the other was a cultivation prodigy blessed with extraordinary talent. He was sent to Cangqing as a hostage, cast aside like a pawn, while the other was the sharpest blade in Emperor Cangqing's hand, a member of the Cangyu Guard. He was treated like an idiot and bullied by everyone, while the other had achieved remarkable cultivation at a young age. They met when he was only six, and the other had barely reached adulthood when he took him to heart.
The two of them belonged to entirely different worlds, yet fate brought them together on that moonlit night. From then on, Xiao Yiqian had a dazed little "mute" in his heart, and Han Zirui found his one and only "playmate" in the Cangqing Imperial Palace.
But how could two people of different ages, identities, and allegiances escape their predetermined fates and walk hand in hand?
