You’re heartless and faithless, and I’m greedy for power. We were made for each other.
Xie Tan, the former commander of the Imperial Shadow Guards, was utterly loyal and devoted himself to his duties. He cleared the emperor’s enemies out of the way, and took care of the emperor’s needs in bed. A model employee and the perfect subordinate.
Who could have guessed that the emperor would not only fail to appreciate him, but also doubt his loyalty? He stripped Xie Tan of his power, claimed that Xie Tan was the only one he would ever love, then flirted with the top scholar and made Xie Tan’s life miserable in every way.
After living a second life, Xie Tan says: To hell with love! What’s so great about romance? Aren’t famous mountains and rivers enticing enough? Isn’t fine food and wine worth loving? Why waste your life pining after one emperor?
Chu Yan and Xie Tan met when they were both nobodies, and supported each other all the way through life.
But Chu Yan knows perfectly well that they’re only putting on an act, each getting what they need. Even if he has some genuine feelings for Xie Tan, there’s no guarantee Xie Tan feels the same way.
But when he opens his eyes again, the first thing he wants to know is what Xie Tan really thinks. In the corners he never noticed, Xie Tan put up with all his strange moods and brushed aside every hardship he endured. Why did Xie Tan do it?
