The servants in the castle say, "Being fed on is just as hard to endure as sex."
Luo Wen smiles and shakes his head. He's mute and can't speak, so he gestures instead, accepting the bottles and jars the maids push into his hands.
That's not true... The duke won't let it hurt.
At eighteen, Luo Wen was rescued from vampire hunters by Lu Sien and became his only believer.

But Luo Wen had already fallen for him. He thought that if he could warm the duke's body, he could warm his heart, too.
Until the day he and the duke's one true love were both taken hostage and forced into a choice between them. When Luo Wen realized he was only a substitute, he simply smiled and turned to face the cold muzzle of a gun alone.
Years later, the injured duke unexpectedly encountered his long-dead wife in the slums. His heart ached so much he couldn't speak. For the first time, he heard his little butterfly's voice:
"I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else, sir."
