Summary
Shen Qingqiu has developed an inconvenient attraction to Liu Qingge, the Bai Zhan Peak Lord, his rival, and perhaps the last man in Cang Qiong he ought to want.
Liu Qingge, meanwhile, is convinced Shen Qingqiu despises him. Considering the cutting remarks, cold looks, and arguments that seem to sharpen whenever they are in the same room, it is not an unreasonable conclusion. Shen Qingqiu has never been particularly skilled at wanting something without immediately finding reasons to resent it.
Then a mission tears open a part of his past he had every intention of leaving buried.
Shen Qingqiu had thought those years were behind him. He had survived them, buried what remained, and built a life far beyond their reach.
Apparently, survival had not meant escape.
When the remnants of his past begin to destabilise his qi, the only remedy that might save his cultivation is one he has spent years hoping he would never need.
Shen Qingqiu does not want to ask anyone.
Unfortunately, the only man he can imagine asking is also the one man he is certain would never want him.
