He Zhoulin died, then came back to life.
He returned to the time before he became one of the Shen family's trusted men.
His hand wasn't crippled, his gland hadn't been removed, and he was a young, healthy Alpha.
He hadn't become entangled in the messy love-hate relationships of the Shen family's young masters, hadn't been used as a scapegoat, and hadn't been made a target for their anger.
Given another life, he avoided the selection at the end of training camp and chose to head north.
But even after he left, those people came looking for him.
At his rental apartment, the convenience store downstairs, his workplace, even the restaurants where he occasionally ate, he sensed someone watching him.
Unable to shake off that pack of pythons, He Zhoulin could only seek shelter for a while under another madman, one with a more normal worldview.
But he never expected that this seemingly more reasonable madman was a ravening wolf in disguise.
And he was the lamb caught in his trap.

Geng Yuqi hadn't expected to find an unexpected prize when he visited the training camp. From his vantage point, he watched that person deftly break his own arm, then keenly sense Geng Yuqi's gaze and look up.
Only a pair of eyes was visible, but Geng Yuqi couldn't help whistling inwardly.
So sexy.
He wanted him.
Geng Yuqi went to great lengths to gradually draw him close, thinking victory was within reach. Then he discovered that the other man was constantly thinking about running away.
He looked himself over in confusion. Had he not been taking good enough care of himself lately? Had his charm faded?
One wants the other's body, the other wants his face. It was love at first sight for them both.
