The Beautiful Immortal Lord Walks on Thin Ice

[Seeking advance readers]

What should you do when someone falls in love with you at first sight?

Shen Hengzhi: Don't dress up lust at first sight as something so romantic. Rejected.

If the other person were just an ordinary clingy admirer, he could reject them and be done with it. But this was Xi Zheng, the Immortal Realm's most powerful second-generation heir and its strongest fighter.

Shen Hengzhi: ...Got it. A forceful romance.

So, caught between submission and resistance, Shen Hengzhi chose to "resist submissively": on the day before their wedding, he set himself on fire.

He awoke ten years later in someone else's body.

Shen Hengzhi had lost his memories, and his soul was incomplete. He struggled to collect its scattered fragments and find his way back to himself, while Xi Zheng had gone from "heir apparent" to "emperor," able to do anything.

Xi Zheng: "Actually, we're Dao companions."

What a shameless lie! Shen Hengzhi couldn't be bothered to entertain him.

Xi Zheng: "I'm powerful. I can help you."

Shen Hengzhi: "Your humble junior pays his respects to big brother!"

Memories restored: 20%

Shen Hengzhi: "You villain! You're the one who drove me to my death!"

Xi Zheng: "Let me explain..."

Shen Hengzhi: "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, unless you..."

Xi Zheng did everything he asked, indulging him as he threw his weight around.

Shen Hengzhi began to panic. "Could he actually be sincere?"

Memories restored: 60%

Shen Hengzhi: "It seems... I might be the one in the wrong?"

No, no, no! There has to be more to it. How could anyone be so hopelessly love-struck? He must have an ulterior motive!

Shen pressed a hand to his chest. His heart raced uncontrollably whenever he saw Xi Zheng, and no amount of mental preparation could slow it down.

Memories restored: 100%

Shen Hengzhi saw his own life, every step taken as if on thin ice, and fell silent.

It turned out he had been wrong from the very beginning. What Xi Zheng gave him had never been a forceful romance. It was a passionate light, shining through the cold world around him.
