At first sight of the marriage contract, he decides: This marriage has to be called off! Straight guy Shen Li: Who wants to marry another man? It's best to be brothers! Just imagine how great it'd be to be the overpowered male lead's brother. Ji Yuanye is exceptionally talented and has been groomed as the future clan leader since childhood. But at fifteen, his parents die, his uncle takes power, and the once-adored prodigy falls from grace, tasting the full range of human warmth and cruelty. When faced with his fiancé, a refined and beautiful young master arriving in a carriage drawn by eight demon beasts, the boy knows the gulf between them and doesn't resent him for breaking off the engagement. He never expects the young master to keep sneaking glances at him in private, as though plotting something else. "He wants me to be his cultivation furnace? Never!" When the boy first finds out, he straightens his collar, consumed by humiliation. Later, Ji Yuanye lowers his eyes. "Being a cultivation furnace wouldn't be so bad. As long as I'm the only one." Shen Li, completely unaware: "Huh???" * By the time Shen Li finally changes the story's course and saves Windspirit Valley from disaster, he suddenly realizes that something is off about his now-powerful brother, the overpowered male lead. He rejects every admirer, has not a single woman around him, and instead pays special attention to Shen Li: Shen Li lets out a careless cough. Ji Yuanye worries endlessly, and the very next day an ancient alchemical recipe that countless cultivators would fight over appears on his desk. Shen Li's birthday is approaching. Ji Yuanye ventures alone into the demon realm, battles for months, and returns gravely wounded with a precious King Beast to present as a birthday gift. And then there are the piles of dolls modeled after Shen Li, filling an entire room, all seeming to reveal someone's secret and frenzied possessiveness. The more Shen Li investigates, the more alarmed he becomes. He plans to flee, but during a secret-realm expedition, the male lead, stricken by lust poison and out of his mind, pins him beneath himself Afterward. Ji Yuanye is overjoyed and wants to become cultivation partners with the young master he has admired for years, but Shen Li only wants things to go back to how they were. Ji Yuanye suddenly smiles. "Back to how they were? When I was always coveting you, kissing your whole body in my dreams, and wishing we could cultivate together day and night?" Shen Li: "...?!" On the eve of their wedding, Shen Li is "confined" in Windspirit Valley. The mad Ji Yuanye makes his own life the prison, betting that Shen Li won't let him die. Fortunately, his bet pays off.
