When Gu Quan attended a banquet at the General's Residence, he saw his beloved Yun Jin, who had saved him in Yuncheng a year earlier.
But in less than two years, the person he loved had become a male prostitute.
He had sent people to Yuncheng to look for him, but they couldn't find him. He never expected that when they met again, Yun Jin would have become a male prostitute. Gu Quan hated this man for selling himself for money, so at the General's Residence, he punished him by making him bite down on a jade hairpin and stay completely silent.
At the banquet, he humiliated him in front of everyone and sent him to entertain someone else.
At Xianpin House, he got intimate with another man right in front of him.
Yun Jin's heart was breaking, yet he still loved Gu Quan beyond hope.
He wanted so badly to tell Gu Quan that three days after he left, a fire had broken out in the pleasure house. Yun Jin had escaped with his life, and the only things he'd managed to save were Gu Quan's portrait and the wooden hairpin Gu Quan had given him...
All because of the words, "I'll take you home," he had decided to seek Gu Quan out in Yidu.
The journey from Yuncheng to Yidu took three months, but it took him a whole year. He died twice along the way, and both times, all he could think about was Gu Quan waiting for him...
He searched for Gu Quan for months. When he finally found him, he realized that Gu Quan wasn't called A Quan, didn't have the surname Xiao, and wasn't an ordinary soldier.
The look in Gu Quan's eyes was cold, as if... they had never known each other.
It was only that day that he learned the young man who had given him a wooden hairpin and promised to take him home was called Gu Quan. He was a prince, a prince who could not marry a man, a prince high above everyone else...
When Gu Quan learned the truth, he finally understood that he had misunderstood Yun Jin.
The night they cleared up their misunderstanding, Yun Jin said, "I... I only have you. I'm still pure." Just like that night three years ago, he seemed afraid Gu Quan would misunderstand...
Gu Quan held him tightly and said, "I only have you, too. I always have, and I always will. This time, I'll definitely take you home!"
After three years of waiting, his beloved young man had finally come to take him home.
But what awaited him was the news that Gu Quan was to marry the Princess of the Yao Kingdom...
