Yan Zhen was the final boss of a war game.
After finally getting to retire, he realized he was having trouble keeping up with the times.
.
Yan Zhen rescued a boy from the black market.
The guards had beaten him until he was covered in wounds, sparing only his beautiful face. He was about to be sent to the estate of a wealthy merchant.
"How much for him?" Yan Zhen asked.
The black market manager said, "Sorry, sir. The boy has already been promised to someone."
"I know the rules." Yan Zhen was a civilized man. "I'll pay triple, plus the cancellation fee."
"But..."
"Five times."
"Of course, sir. He's yours!"

Zhan Zhao is the youngest person in nearly fifty years to become a Grade One Exorcist.
Not only is he gentle by nature, he's also devastatingly handsome to both men and women. His pair of flirtatious eyes make even a dog look like the object of his affection. As a result, he has long held the top spot on the "Exorcists' Most Eligible Men" list.
Yet his background is a mystery. The only thing anyone knows is that he seems to have an adoptive father who treats him terribly. He makes him do the laundry and cooking, and even has him come home to clean whenever he isn't on a mission. So Zhan Zhao disappears after every mission, with no freedom at all.
While everyone lamented the plight of this prodigy, Yan Zhen watched Zhan Zhao rush back from the neighboring city without stopping to rest. After a moment's silence, he couldn't help saying, "You can leave making the bed to the housekeeping robot." In other words: You don't have to come back specially.
The young man shook out the quilt and replied softly, "I'm not busy anyway, and I'm more thorough than a robot. Please let me do it, sir."
In his heart, he thought: I'll smash that housekeeping robot to pieces later!
