Everyone in the Jiang Kingdom says that Yun Shengmeng, the only son of General Changfeng, is an imbecile. He's more beautiful than a celestial maiden, yet spends all day obsessed with seeking immortality and the Dao. Every day, he wants to build a ladder to the heavens and find an elixir of eternal youth. His father had him late in life and lets him do as he pleases. One moment he's blown up the alchemy furnace, the next he's fallen from a tall building. He's always getting into trouble.
There has always been a beauty in Yun Shengmeng's dreams. Like a flower reflected in a mirror or the moon in the clouds, this person seems so otherworldly that Yun Shengmeng is convinced he must be an immortal. That's why he keeps seeking the Dao and trying to become immortal. But then he meets Crown Prince Xie Yun, and it feels as if the person from his dreams has parted a thin veil and gracefully stepped before him. Convinced this is a match made by fate, he begins boldly and passionately pursuing the crown prince.
Xie Yun has never met such a beautiful yet foolish plaything as Yun Shengmeng. His eyes are as clear as glass, his figure as light as a flying swallow. The Jiang Kingdom's nobles are all fond of keeping male companions, so Xie Yun sees no harm in taking him for a lover. He is certain he has never truly fallen for him. But when Yun Shengmeng sets fire to everything on the day of his wedding, why does his heart hurt so much?
“You're not that person. You're a liar, a villain. I curse you to never find love in any lifetime.”
Yun Shengmeng leaves without looking back, and his words haunt Xie Yun until they consume him completely.
