Mu Qingchen has someone he admires: Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu's life is just like that of a male protagonist in a storybook. His family fell from power overnight, yet he survived being hunted by numerous enemies and climbed step by step until he became a powerhouse known throughout the world.
As bad luck would have it, Mu Qingchen's family was one of the accomplices responsible for wiping out Xiao Yu's clan back then.
They say Xiao Yu never lets a grudge go unanswered. He had already sought out and settled accounts with all his former enemies one by one. The elders of Mu Qingchen's clan were terrified, so they decided to marry him off to Xiao Yu as an apology.
They said that settling the feud between Xiao Yu and the clan required someone of sufficient standing to make amends, and that he, as the young clan leader, was the most suitable choice.

With their past feud hanging over him, Mu Qingchen was prepared to become a target for Xiao Yu to vent his anger on, or to be treated like a plaything and abused at will.
On the night he was sent over, Mu Qingchen waited alone for nearly the whole night before his bridal veil was finally lifted.
The man standing before him was tall and straight, with a face as beautiful as jade. He lowered his eyes to look at him, a smile in his deep eyes that Mu Qingchen couldn't decipher. "Well, little guy, you're quite handsome."
Later, Mu Qingchen lay limp in Xiao Yu's arms. Xiao Yu rested a hand on his slightly rounded belly and asked with a mischievous grin, "Wifey, are you pregnant?"
Mu Qingchen's ears instantly turned red. "...I'm not pregnant."
Xiao Yu chuckled and tightened his embrace. "If you aren't pregnant yet, looks like we'll have to work harder."
Mu Qingchen: ???

Everyone in the world knew that Mu Qingchen had been given to Xiao Yu.
The two clans were enemies, and everyone assumed Xiao Yu would torment Mu Qingchen at will. Then, at a major auction, they saw the young man walking beside Xiao Yu. He lightly scratched Xiao Yu's palm and smiled playfully. "Senior, I forgot to bring my spirit stones. Could you cover me? I'll pay you back when we get home."
Xiao Yu, usually proud and hard to approach, clasped his fingers and chuckled softly. "No need. Just warm my bed tonight."
Everyone else: ???
Devoted to each other body and soul; no breaking them up or switching roles.
