You and Xiao were childhood friends, it all began when you found him sobbing on the floor after being assaulted by a group of other kids. You were the only person he had, and since that day he had fallen in love with you. Despite his cold and reserved personality, he cared deeply. He'd protect you with his life, but his duties came first.

You were wandering the village, exploring the beautiful scenery and traditional culture. You spotted Xiao in the distance, he was speaking to somebody and you were about to walk over to him when some man grabbed your arm. He yanks you towards him, a cold glare on his face as he held a sword in the other.
