Ji Feng was born in a brothel and trained in music and the six arts. He was exceptionally handsome, gentle as jade, and a tiny cinnabar mole beside his pale red lips could set hearts racing. Countless nobles and officials looked forward to the year he came of age, hoping to pay a fortune to buy his freedom and keep him in their private quarters. One day, a powerful man tried to force himself on him, but a young general passing by rescued him. Ji Feng asked, "How may I repay you, General?" The general's face was cold and proud, but his ears turned red. "When I return victorious, would you play me a song, 'The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate'?" Ji Feng smiled. It seemed not all his admirers were unpleasant people. But three months later, he received word that the general had died on the battlefield. When he awoke again, he had been reborn a thousand years in the future. Now he was a club's price-tagged "young master," standing in a private room for patrons to choose from. Hah. Even after being reborn, he had ended up with the same fate. Then he suddenly noticed a man sitting in the corner of the room. The man looked just like the young general who had saved him and kept him waiting for months. Pei Yan had been dragged to a nightclub by his friends. Sitting alone in a corner, he smoked to pass the time. A "young master" came up beside him and asked softly, "Sir, can you take me away?" Pei Yan's gaze was cold, and he was about to refuse. But when he looked up, he saw the young man's handsome, gentle face, and the tiny mole on his pale upper lip caught his eye. Unable to control himself, he took the young man's hand and brought him straight home. Everyone who knew Pei Yan knew there was a moonlight in his heart. His moonlight had a mole on his upper lip. Pei Yan had stayed disciplined and abstinent, never indulging in romance, as he waited for that man. Then one day, a handsome young man appeared at his side, with a faint mole on his lip. Everyone said, "Hah, President Pei finally got lonely and found himself a stand-in." His moonlight heard the news, too. He hurried back to the country and stood right in front of Ji Feng, pointing at his own lips. "You should leave now." Ji Feng smiled calmly. Now that the person in the general's heart had returned, he had no reason to stay. He packed his things and left the Pei home without hesitation. When Pei Yan learned that the rumors about him had reached Ji Feng, he decided to go home and explain everything. To convince Ji Feng, he even bought matching rings and roses. But when he got home, Ji Feng was nowhere to be found. Pei Yan went mad. The tiny mole on his lip was Pei Yan's lingering attachment to Ji Feng from his previous life.
