After multiple assassination attempts within the palace, the emperor assigns the kingdom’s most talented young cultivator, also the Princes’s old childhood friend, to serve as the second prince’s personal bodyguard. The arrangement is a disaster from the start. The prince is sharp-tongued, stubborn, and impossible to please, while the young master is teasing, arrogant, and entirely too entertained by making him angry. Forced to remain constantly at each other’s side, the two become trapped between dangerous palace politics, hidden conspiracies, and growing feelings neither of them know how to handle. Because somewhere between protecting the prince’s life… and ruining his patience daily… affection begins to form 😭
