An Lichen was once the Elf King of the Camuel Continent. He transmigrated to a post-apocalyptic world by accident, but lost his memories. He once fought alongside humans against the tide of alien species, yet in the end, he couldn't escape the destruction of the base.
He was reborn in a restricted zone. To his dismay, his elf identity, which he had kept so thoroughly hidden in his previous life, was suddenly exposed, and he was hunted down. With no other choice, he took the place of a young master and slipped into a group heading back to the base.
To his utter surprise, the team's chief executive officer was Qi Mu, his former lover.
The grievances and passions of his previous life had faded with the wind. An Lichen thought: this time, he wanted to see Qi Mu truly go mad for him.
So, when they encountered alien species, he clung tightly to Qi Mu's side. When they met again in the underground city, he stole Qi Mu's first kiss. During a mutant riot, he collapsed softly into Qi Mu's arms...
The plan was going perfectly. But when An Lichen saw Qi Mu's anxious expression, he felt an inexplicable pang of guilt. He tried to run away, but Qi Mu seized him by the wrist.
"Isn't this what you wanted? For me to... go mad for you!"
Qi Mu's eyes were dark. After being reborn, he had resolved to stay away from An Lichen. He yielded at every turn, but An Lichen kept pressing closer. His love surged like a flood, and there was nowhere for him to run.

An Lichen knew Qi Mu loved him, until he found the elf source crystal he'd been searching for so long on Qi Mu...
"So you remembered everything, and you've hated me this whole time?"
"No..."
Qi Mu had just finished a battle, his upper body drenched in blood. As he watched An Lichen grow more powerful after obtaining the source crystal, he suddenly remembered that elves were long-lived beings.
"When you killed me, the Qi Mu who loved you died."
