The day Qi Qing won the Best Actor award, he went to a bar to celebrate with friends.

He ran into a drunk, overweight man who wouldn't leave him alone. As the man harassed him, a glass of red wine came flying down from the second-floor corridor and drenched him.

Qi Qing looked up and saw an arrogant man holding the wineglass in his slender fingers, looking haughty and proud.

The bar's lighting was dim and suggestive, the air warm with drink. Amid the restless buzz, he felt his heart give a sudden, violent thump.

Qi Qing went over to thank him. The man only lifted his chin, languid and carefree.

"Name your price. I've got my eye on you."

Yin Yao was famous in their circle for his romantic exploits and his habit of picking up lovers out of the gutter.

He thought it was simple: everyone was just having fun, and no one owed anyone anything.

Until Qi Qing came along. He blurted out his offer on impulse, his heart pounding like a drum.

For half a year, he treated Qi Qing with tender affection. Then Qi Qing's white moonlight appeared, and everything took a sudden turn for the worse.

Watching his best friend navigate a love life full of twists and turns, Yin Yao's childhood friend clicked his tongue and asked, "Do you like him?"

Drunk, Yin Yao smiled with a hint of amusement and irritation. "Him? He's not worthy."

Yin Yao endured all he could, but Qi Qing still asked to break up.

His eyes reddened as he gritted his teeth. "You'd better not regret this."

They cut things off completely, and Yin Yao went back to his hedonistic lifestyle.

His childhood friend thought that, just as Yin Yao had said, the matter of Qi Qing could finally be put behind them.

But at a friend's bachelor party...

The young master was on one knee, eyes red, slowly using his tie to dry Qi Qing's damp ankle.

He choked out, "You were just using me. You're just like the rest of them... you ungrateful little wolf."

His childhood friend: Didn't you say he wasn't worthy?

A powerful, beautiful, tragic, aloof, rebellious bottom * a stubborn, smooth-talking, two-faced top who calls the whole world his friend

Fu Qi, the Empire's youngest major general, came from a distinguished military family and had a brilliant future ahead of him.

Then came news that he had betrayed the Empire. Overnight, he went from being the Empire's celebrated rising star to a prisoner. When he died, even the condolences beneath his obituary were replaced by joyous celebrations.

Xia Shiyan was Fu Qi's fellow student and colleague. They should have been close, yet everyone in the Empire knew the two young major generals were enemies.

They disliked each other at first sight, and soon made the Empire's social news after a jealous rivalry turned into a fight.

Once, during a military recruitment campaign, the media finally managed to corner Fu Qi and asked him to say a few encouraging words to the new recruits alongside Xia Shiyan, an outstanding graduate of the First Military Academy.

Fu Qi stared blankly for a moment, then made a strange expression with his handsome face. "Sorry, I don't have his contact information."

Later, when something happened to Fu Qi, reporters who remembered that incident crowded outside the military headquarters, hoping to get Xia Shiyan's first-hand comments on Fu Qi's death.

But that time, the usually good-natured Xia Shiyan had every reporter there thrown in jail for obstructing official business.

Five years later, Xia Shiyan set out for Xingdu to investigate and unexpectedly ran into Fu Qi, who had faked his death and disappeared for years.

The day Fu Qi's secret identity was exposed, Xia Shiyan's fingers traced over the blood-stained corner of his eye. His playboy air had vanished; his casual words carried the weight of years of hardship. "You've never once looked at me."

Thinking of the targeting that had gone on ever since they met, and the trouble Xia Shiyan had brought him every few days, Fu Qi felt deeply wronged and shot back, "I had to sit right in front of you in class, you picked the seat across from me at meals, and you even traded with someone else to get my number for the mock combat exercise. What more did you want?"

Xia Shiyan stroked his hair, his smile inscrutable. "What more? I wish the whole world would disappear, leaving you with no one to look at but me."

*

No one knew that on graduation day, after much hesitation, Xia Shiyan had nervously asked Fu Qi to meet him in the most famous lovers' grove.

He had also meant to kindly persuade him to join the First Legion.

The Empire was dominated by powerful families, and someone like Fu Qi, with no connections, would be easy prey.

At the time, Fu Qi worried Xia Shiyan had an ulterior motive and sneered, "Take care of yourself. Our relationship isn't your concern."

The words Xia Shiyan hadn't managed to say froze into frost in the heat of June, sealing his lips.

One cold laugh, and from then on, they were strangers.

Across the countless stars, deep mists block the way. May we sail through every storm without changing our hearts, and may our flames never die.
