As a cannon-fodder character, he loves tormenting the villain for no reason. In the end, the villain, a cunning and patient man who never forgives a grudge, brutally tortures him to death. The villain, Xiao Shen, is the last survivor of the previous dynasty. After its fall, he becomes Shen Bi's attendant (male pet) and suffers endless humiliation. Later, he restores his kingdom and slaughters the imperial family. No one who ever crossed him gets a happy ending. When Shen Bi arrives, Xiao Shen is shackled at the ankles and wrists, tied face-down to a specially made bed across the room. His flawless physique and powerful, muscular lower back are impossible to ignore. Shen Bi's heart skips a beat. He grabs a robe to cover that eye-catching body and forces himself to stay calm. "Xiao Lang, what happened today was a complete misunderstanding. I'm going on a long journey. Do as you please. From now on, we'll go our separate ways." He turns to leave. Before long, he's forced to come back. Xiao Shen has half risen. The robe covering him has been thrown on the floor, and his powerful, toned body strikes Shen Bi like a blow. "What happened to your long journey?" Shen Bi looks like he's about to cry, but smiles instead. "I just couldn't bear to leave you, Xiao Lang." After that, they can't avoid each other. One pretends to be calm while staying on guard at all times. The other pretends to be compliant while quietly building his strength. The day Xiao Shen launches his rebellion, Shen Bi takes advantage of the chaos to fake his death. Now wearing the imperial robes but alone on the throne, Xiao Shen doesn't believe Shen Bi is dead. Still, he builds a tomb bearing Shen Bi's clothes and often stands there lost in thought. One day, he hears of a wandering Taoist who looks just like an old acquaintance and immediately has him brought back to the palace. He lifts the man's chin and studies him for a long time before confirming, "Shen Lang, long time no see. Why did becoming a monk require you to die first?" Shen Bi refuses to admit it. "You've mistaken me for someone else, sir." Xiao Shen laughs coldly. "Is that so? Guards, send the Taoist to the imperial harem. I'll personally find out if he's the real thing."
