"Do not dwell on the old country and old friends; instead, try the new tea with freshly kindled fire."

In the thirty-second year of Qingfeng, the old emperor was senile, devoting himself to seeking immortality and the Dao. The country was falling apart, beset by storms on all sides.

That same year, General Lu died in battle, and the Hu launched a massive invasion. Twenty-year-old Lu Qiechao donned his armor and went to war.

Before leaving, he went to see his "childhood sweetheart," his sworn enemy Yan Rencheng. He clutched a red cord in his hand, his face full of things left unsaid.

At the time, Yan Rencheng was busy revising memorials, and seeing him only made him more irritated. He waved him off. "Get lost."

For the next two years, Yan Rencheng never saw Lu Qiechao again. Who could have guessed that when they met once more, before Yan Rencheng could even taunt him, Lu Qiechao would knock him unconscious with a chop to the neck? Just before he passed out, Yan Rencheng clearly heard:

"The Minister of War and his son, Yan Rencheng... are colluding with the enemy and betraying the country..."

In this chaotic world, perhaps death was the only escape.

Yet that despicable Lu Qiechao had to oppose him even now.

He took a poisoned arrow meant for Yan Rencheng, and as he fell into his arms, Lu Qiechao looked triumphant.

"I win this time... I've thought about that bet."

"In our next life... I'll ask your father for your hand early... Even if it defies the whole world, we'll go on tormenting each other forever..."

After a long dream, Yan Rencheng opened his eyes and found himself back in the Hanlin Academy, serving as a companion reader.

He followed the Eighth Prince and glanced at Lu Qiechao, who was standing beside the Crown Prince and secretly looking at him.

When their eyes met, Lu Qiechao quickly looked away, but his ears had turned bright red.

The Eighth Prince asked, "Little fellow, what are you looking at?"

Yan Rencheng flashed a positively wicked smile. "I was just wondering why someone who swore he would marry me still doesn't even dare talk to me."
