[A romantic, upbeat transmigrated top] × [A cold, resilient shadow guard with supernatural powers on the bottom]
Modern office drone Qi Jingxing's favorite pastime was writing little poems. After watching a wuxia drama, his inspiration really took off.
One day, he transmigrated into the body of a carefree, pleasure-loving prince. Qi Jingxing was thrilled. Being an artsy snob in the modern world couldn't compare to the immersive experience of being one in ancient times!
His fief was far away, his duties few, and he could spend every day reciting poetry and watching dances. What could be better?
Especially since his personal shadow guard was a martial arts expert.
Qi Jingxing: "Great! From now on, you'll practice your sword for me every day."
The shadow guard drew his sword and danced. He moved like thunder quelling fury, and stopped like the clear light settling over a vast sea.
Qi Jingxing: "So this is what it feels like to fall in love."
Gradually, his hundred sword-viewing poems a day turned into a hundred love poems a day... and then resentful poems.
Qi Jingxing: "Huaizhang, could you... practice for me every day? [Starry eyes]"
Huaizhang: "As you command, my lord. [Cold face]"
His flirtatious looks were wasted on someone who couldn't see them. His hundred love poems turned into resentful poems.
But Qi Jingxing happened to discover that his old poetry drafts often went missing...
Life was wonderful, but when he got too comfortable, someone was bound to get uncomfortable.
Just as his progress with the handsome, aloof man was looking increasingly promising, he was slapped with a baseless charge.
A boss could exploit his salary and free time, but he wouldn't stand for someone trying to take his life.
In the heat of the moment, Qi Jingxing thought: Since he'd already transmigrated, why not rebel? Human potential is limitless!
But he sadly discovered that human potential had its limits.
Still, after seeing the shadow guard take a whole city with one sword, he decided he could set his sights even higher.
Qi Jingxing: "What's that glinting on your sword tip?"
Huaizhang: "I don't know. Maybe it's magic."
Qi Jingxing: "Handsome magic swordsman, I'll support you for the rest of my life!"
