Shen Fuguang is the chief executive of the Heretic Administration Bureau. Ordered to exterminate a heretic hidden deep in the mountains, he unexpectedly meets a blind man who claims to have lost his way.
The blind man is delicate and troublesome. He is afraid of ghosts when he sleeps, asks to be carried when he gets tired, is fussy about drinking water, needs someone to lead him because he cannot see, and keeps burrowing into Shen Fuguang's arms, constantly saying, "I'm so scared," and begging for protection.
A grown man who's more of a mess than a little girl. Shen Fuguang complains about the blind man every day, wishing he could just strangle him.
That is, until the heretic appears in a rage. Shen Fuguang is ambushed, and his whole team falls into a desperate situation. The supposedly helpless blind man tears the heretic apart, pulls a strange creature out of its body in front of them, and swallows it.
Only then does Shen Fuguang realize that this blind man is a being millions of times more terrifying than a heretic.
The supernatural has returned, and heretics run rampant.
Si Jingxian founded the Heretic Administration Bureau. With an iron fist, he purged heretics and crushed all opposition, forcing them to keep their heads down. The world called him the Azure Emperor and revered him as a god.
Until the day Si Jingxian personally killed an S-rank heretic. At the critical moment, a teammate ambushed him, nearly killing him.
Sixteen years later, Si Jingxian awakens from his slumber and conceals his identity as he investigates the truth behind what happened.
But he discovers that the bureau he founded has been infiltrated by heretics, while the Heretic Association, made up of the five great clans, is clamoring to seize control and trying to join forces with the heretics to rule the world.
Si Jingxian gives a cold laugh and cleans house. Not only does he expose the traitor who tried to kill him, he also gives each of the five great clans a thorough thrashing.
The five great clans are furious. They join forces with the Heretic Administration Bureau to hold a public denunciation of Si Jingxian. The meeting is full of vile insults, and they demand that Si Jingxian be cut to pieces.
Then Si Jingxian makes an appearance in person, smiling brightly. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Si Jingxian, founder and first director of the Heretic Administration Bureau, first administrator of the Heretic Association, codename: Azure Emperor. I hear you want to denounce me, so here I am. You may begin."
Who could have imagined that the blind man who had provoked them again and again would have such an identity?!
The crowd, who had just been acting so high and mighty, falls silent in an instant, scared stiff. After a moment, they all drop to their knees with a thump before Si Jingxian.
The person Shen Fuguang admires most is the Azure Emperor. A fleeting glimpse of him as a child made Shen Fuguang fall for him, and he swore to follow the Azure Emperor for the rest of his life. But before long, he learned that the Azure Emperor had died. From then on, the Azure Emperor became a scar in his heart.
The person Shen Fuguang hates most is named Si Jingxian. That man has deceived and toyed with him again and again, leading him around by the nose. Shen Fuguang swears that one day he will bring Si Jingxian to justice and make him see what he's capable of.
Until one day, he suddenly discovers that the detestable Si Jingxian is none other than the Azure Emperor he has yearned for over the past sixteen years.
His whole world comes crashing down.
Meanwhile, the man in question is still smiling as he teases him. "I heard from people at the Heretic Administration Bureau that you fell in love with me at first sight, and joined the bureau to inherit my legacy and fulfill my final wishes?"
"Why don't you tell me all about what you intend to do, hmm?"
Reader's Guide:
1. Si Jingxian is the shou, Shen Fuguang is the gong.
2. Urban supernatural powers. Neither the gong nor the shou is ordinary, and they have very long lifespans. Living for thousands of years is no problem.
3. A melodramatic face-slapping romance. The world is fictional, so don't take it seriously.
