Gu Xici had been the bright and noble eldest disciple of a prestigious orthodox sect. Then, after being framed, he was expelled from the sect and cast down into the mortal world.
His cultivation was ruined. Covered in wounds and penniless, he was nearly trampled into the dirt.
He had been set upon by dogs sent by ordinary people, hunted down and attacked by rivals, and even sold into a male brothel. In the end, he was bought by a man whom the cultivation world considered a villain.
That man had a terrible reputation. Though he was a lecherous playboy, he never touched Gu Xici. He simply kept him in his residence like a pet cat, never letting him go out or allowing anyone to visit.
Later, the truth came to light, and everyone demanded that the man hand Gu Xici over.
The man locked him in a secret room, knelt down, covered his eyes, and whispered over and over in his ear, “Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid.”
The man gently kissed his wrist, the one that could no longer hold a sword, and scorching tears fell onto Gu Xici’s heart.
The man said he wouldn’t let anyone in, and wouldn’t let anyone see him like this.
The man said so many things, but in the end, he still died.
Before he died, the man ran into the secret room covered in blood and used the last of his strength to transfer all his martial arts skills to Gu Xici.
But few people in the world could match the man he had once been. Even after exhausting all his inner power, the man had given him no more than a tenth of his former strength.

Later, Gu Xici learned that the man had told the world he was responsible for everything.
He said he had imprisoned Gu Xici.
He said he had severed his tendons and broken his bones.
No one but that man knew of Gu Xici’s humiliation and vulnerability. To everyone else, he remained the untouchable Gu Xici.
In the eyes of the world, Gu Xici was still the same cold and proud man. Only Gu Xici himself knew that he had lost someone.
So after being reborn, the moment he saw that man, he grabbed him by the lapels and kissed him without hesitation.

Hua Jiurong never imagined that those prestigious orthodox sects would make amends by sending someone to his bed.
He cared only about fame, wealth, and status. The reputation for being a lecherous playboy had been foisted on him by those so-called righteous sects.
Yet he never imagined that the person sent to him would be Gu Xici, much less that Gu Xici would directly... take liberties with him.
He lost his composure. Unable to maintain his sinister, ruthless persona, he immediately dropped to his knees, legs gone weak.
Dazed, he wondered if repressing a crush for too long could really make someone go mad and start hallucinating.
And... and this could actually happen?
