Has the Manor Lord Daydreamed Today?

[Cold and aloof top x loyal-to-a-fault bottom]

Yan Shijie, the master of Suyan Mountain Manor, is solitary and heartless, with ruthless methods. Yet he gave his trust to only one person: his shadow guard, Nan Shisi.

Then one day, someone presented irrefutable evidence and told him that Nan Shisi had betrayed him.

He had meant only to punish him a little, make him reveal who was pulling the strings, then lock him away and keep him hidden. But Nan Shisi was stubborn to the end, refusing to say a word even as he died.

With Nan Shisi dead, Yan Shijie's heart died too. He had never imagined that Nan Shisi meant so much to him, until he found himself sent back ten years in time.

So be it. This time, he would keep a close eye on him.

But in his past life, although Nan Shisi had betrayed him, he had always stayed by his side. Why was he so restless this time, disappearing every night?

Yan Shijie waited patiently, watching him from the shadows. Then one day, Nan Shisi stumbled into his bedroom, gravely wounded. One word, "It hurts," struck a chord in his heart.

"It hurts? If you know it hurts, why do you keep running off every night? Looking for that mysterious master of yours?"

"This servant is loyal only to the manor master." The young man's eyes brimmed with tenderness.

It was because they had been so close that, ten years later, learning that Nan Shisi was the traitor in the manor had hurt so much.

Nan Shisi was poison wrapped in sugar, and Yan Shijie fell for him all over again.

He knew the young man would betray him ten years later, yet he willingly accepted him all the same.

But if the young man loved him so much, how could he possibly betray him?

The martial world was full of turmoil. As the dust settled, a greater conspiracy came to light: the betrayal in his past life had all been a misunderstanding!

"I told you, I am loyal only to the manor master."
