Si Qinghan, the Ministry of Works' Left Vice Minister, has had a remarkably smooth life, with nothing but clear roads ahead, except for the time years ago when he nearly bowed to a servant. Fortunately, the secret has stayed hidden.
The top scholar Zhou Shiyu is exceptionally gifted, without equal in the world. Only one thing weighs on his mind: just as romance was beginning to blossom, he had no choice but to part with that person.
After three years apart, the two meet again at court.
Zhou Shiyu smiles: "Good day, Lord Si. I hope you've been well."
Si Qinghan snaps: "Get lost."
As the two rise through the ranks together, Zhou Shiyu realizes that Si Qinghan isn't truly as heartless toward him as he seems. Their misunderstandings are cleared up, and Zhou Shiyu decides the time is right.
Zhou Shiyu, delighted: "Let's continue the story we left unfinished."
Si Qinghan, worried: "No."
Zhou Shiyu can't think of any other way, so he resorts to his ultimate weapon: offering himself to Si Qinghan.
Everyone says he's handsome. It's time to put that good looks to use.
Si Qinghan, startled: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Shiyu, bashful: "What do you think, darling?"
