When Li Ruize became a death warrior, all he thought was that living was fine, and dying was fine too.
The moment Knight Order Commander Cang Jiarong came riding on starlight to wipe out an illegal organization and save him, Li Ruize suddenly found he didn't want to die anymore.
If he died, he wouldn't be able to watch Cang Jiarong.
"You seem to be alone. Why not live with me? We can be a family."
Cang Jiarong adopted him, making them a family. For the first time, Li Ruize felt his heart beat.
From then on, he had a family, the most important family he would ever have.
After a false accusation, Cang Jiarong was stripped of his position as Knight Order Commander and exiled to a desolate planet.
Li Ruize could only hate himself for being powerless. All he could do was hold Cang Jiarong tight.
"It's okay. I'll go anywhere with you, as long as we're together."
For the sake of his future, Cang Jiarong refused to take him to a distant star system. In the end, he left the capital star alone, and they didn't even have time to say goodbye.
To see his savior again, Li Ruize joined the Knight Order and trained with all his might.
Longing gripped him, and his feelings grew like wild vines. He wanted to be more than family to Cang Jiarong.
Family, lover, friend, teammate... He wanted to be part of every moment of Cang Jiarong's life.
When he brought Cang Jiarong back to the capital star and received a congratulatory pat on the shoulder, he found his reason to live.
As long as Cang Jiarong was alive, Li Ruize would be his most loyal knight.
While every other knight swore to defend the empire with their lives, the only name on Li Ruize's lips was Cang Jiarong's.
