A creature known as a Netherbeast grants humans supernatural abilities, but also threatens their safety. Humans divided the world into regions centered on the habitats of the highest-ranked Netherbeasts. Each region chooses a Palace Master, who forms a contract with its most powerful Netherbeast to maintain the balance of power between humans and beasts. As a condition of the contract, the Palace Master must live near their contracted beast for the rest of their life.
An Mu has no idea who his parents are and no one to rely on. He must fight with everything he has just to survive, and he is a sharp blade in his master's hand. Switching between different identities, completing his assignments efficiently, and escaping unharmed: that is his entire life.
Gu Shiyun is a secret weapon raised by the Gu family. His sole mission is to become Palace Master and preserve his family's prosperity. The competition for the position is rife with undercurrents, and Gu Shiyun is kept under close guard, living like a prisoner.
When news arrives that the Palace Master has died, An Mu is assigned by his master to join the guard and infiltrate the palace to steal a priceless treasure. Meanwhile, seeking freedom, Gu Shiyun runs away from home under the assumed name Gu Xun. By a twist of fate, he joins the guard and enters the very palace he has longed to escape.
Two people from completely different worlds, both trying hard to pass as ordinary, become partners. They spend every day together, never leave each other's side, grow curious about each other, test one another, try to keep their secret identities under wraps, and eagerly look for a chance to unmask each other...
Then a series of upheavals occurs, and events gradually spin out of control, racing off in an unexpected direction. Each of them has gained someone to care about, something to hold dear, a promise, and a little more courage.
An Mu: Being with Xunxun makes even the air feel sweet. Anyone who dares scheme against my Xunxun and steal my happiness had better not assume a rabbit won't bite when cornered.
Gu Xun: Being with Xiao An makes life feel simple and happy. Someone actually bullied my little angel and made him cry. Did they think all those years I spent training were just for show?
