After Zhen Zhu, son of an elder of the world's greatest sect, returns after spending ten years away, the sect's disciples can't help lamenting his fate.
There's no other reason: Zhen Zhu is painfully ordinary. His manner is too formal, his nature too dull, his approach to things too timid, and his way with people too reserved.
In short, Zhen Zhu is an honest, boring fool of a pretty ornament. More importantly, he is neither a Qianyuan, who holds a position of power, nor a rare Kunze. He's merely a Zhongyong.
His unpleasant personality makes Zhen Zhu universally disliked. Once the excitement over the elder's son returning dies down, everyone's attention shifts back to Luo Qin, Zhen Zhu's fellow disciple and a once-in-a-generation prodigy.
As a top-tier Qianyuan, Luo Qin is the aloof, unsmiling senior brother of the world's greatest sect. He is the sect leader's favorite disciple and universally acknowledged as the greatest swordsman alive. But what people talk about most is his beautiful face, so lovely that it's impossible to tell whether he's male or female.
Noble and refined, radiant and otherworldly, he has everything. He's the darling of the immortal sects, adored by all.
Zhen Zhu and Luo Qin should have had nothing to do with each other, until Zhen Zhu was lucky enough to get into a basic swordsmanship class taught by Senior Brother Luo as a guest instructor.
Zhen Zhu had no talent for cultivation. When he made a mistake in class, his fellow disciples secretly laughed at him. Even Luo Qin couldn't stand to watch and scolded him, making Zhen Zhu burst into tears on the spot.
The story of the elder's son being scolded by the senior brother until he cried spread far and wide. People thought that would be the only time Zhen Zhu ever spoke to Luo Qin in his life.
No one knew that night, while Zhen Zhu was hiding under his covers and quietly crying, someone scooped him up and pulled him into their arms before he'd even had time to feel sad for long.
The usually composed and self-controlled senior brother now sniffed obsessively at the shrunken gland at the back of Zhen Zhu's neck, baring his fangs and catching the fragile nape between them.
Zhen Zhu weakly slapped that beautiful face, but Senior Brother Luo caught his hand with ease.
Luo Qin kissed the hand of the person in his arms, whispering coaxingly, "Zhen Zhu, don't be mad at me anymore, okay? Let me bite you once, all right?"
