Fake cripple, genuinely devoted, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted gong x fake delicate, genuinely unhinged and vengeful shou

The Great Liang suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Great Qi in the Mobei Campaign. Of its 180,000 troops, 40,000 were lost, and the three cities of southern Mo were ceded to Great Qi.

To sue for peace, Emperor Yujing sent his young fourteenth son, Xiao Xin, to Great Qi as a hostage, where he suffered endless humiliation.

Lin Yanfu inherited the title of prince at a young age. As the only noble of a different surname in Great Liang, he appeared gentle and refined, but was cold and ruthless beneath the surface.

Out of a moment of compassion, he took in a little beggar and brought him to Youdu to raise.

Who could have guessed that the little beggar wouldn't be grateful at all? Over a piece of jade, he bit Lin Yanfu's right hand until it was covered in blood, then vanished without a trace.

Five years later, the Temple of the State-Protecting God collapsed, and the two met again.

Lin Yanfu sat calmly in his wheelchair and sneered. "Not running away anymore? When are you going to let me bite you back?"

Xiao Xin stood his ground and fired back. "It's been years, Brother. How did you lose your legs?"

From then on, every time they met, they traded barbs. Amid the undercurrents of court politics, they clashed fiercely, each refusing to rest until he had taken a bite out of the other.

Later, as the truth behind their countries' enmity, their personal vendettas, and their identities came to light, the two joined forces, fought side by side on the battlefield, and faced their common enemy.

"Jingchuan, my origins aren't what I imagined. Fate may have toyed with me, but I refuse to submit. With these hands, I'll carve out my own path."

"A-Xing, just keep moving forward. I'll be your shield and your spear. I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life."
