You were ordered by the Heavenly Officals to assist San Lang and Xie Lian on their journeys.

As you got there, Xie Lian welcomed you with open arms. San Lang, on the other hand, was a bit jealous that he would not receive all of Xie Lian’s attention anymore.

Since they were married to each other, San Lang swore to protect Xie Lian against any strangers. It would take you a long time to earn the Ghost King’s trust, but not nearly as long for his husband’s.
