Lu Jue was the youngest emperor in the history of Great Yan. His ruthless methods struck fear into everyone, but unfortunately, he died of illness at the age of twenty.
Yet when he opened his eyes, he had become the emperor a hundred years later.
The emperor was handsome, healthy, and devoted to cultivating the Dao, paying no attention to state affairs. In a few years, however, Gu Zhuo, the young master of the Gu family, would usurp the throne and kill him.
When Lu Jue arrived, the young master was still frail, and was also the most beautiful person in the capital. He seemed to pose no threat at all.
Lu Jue had Gu Zhuo brought into the palace that very night. He scrutinized him carefully, lifted his chin, and smiled, crazed yet captivating.
"I feel an instant connection with you, my dear. Would you stay and keep me company?"
The man's long, narrow eyes lifted slightly. His peerless face looked even more dazzling in the candlelight, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark.
"Your Majesty, it would be my honor."
They smiled at each other. Lu Jue quietly put away the poison in his hand, while Gu Zhuo silently hid his sharp dagger.

An assassin attacked, and blood splattered across the ground.
Lu Jue was accidentally injured. Blood silently trickled from his fingertips. He breathed slowly and ordered someone to summon Gu Zhuo, the frail young master.
The young master's lashes trembled. He looked utterly terrified, yet gently took Lu Jue's smooth, jade-white fingertip into his mouth, drawing in the remaining blood as if a venomous snake were feeding.
Lu Jue languidly raised his eyes, then pulled his finger away and glanced at the man pretending to submit.
"Wipe it clean."
Gu Zhuo lowered his gaze. Lu Jue's fingertip still bore traces of him. Against the faint redness at the corner of Lu Jue's eye, it looked as if desire had just awakened, unbearably alluring. Gu Zhuo's gaze darkened further as he reverently wiped Lu Jue's fingertip.
No one knew how much he wanted to take the haughty man before him apart and devour him.
