Lan Xichen has always been the best of the best. He's the timeless Zewu Jun-a perfect, gentleman of an alpha. He's Gusu's First Jade-the pride and joy of his sect. He's Lan fucking Xichen-a man whose cultivation remains unparalleled amongst his peers. So when the Wens are on the rise-Lan Xichen is damn ready for them. All he needs to do is make sure that Jiang Cheng, the beloved little omega he calls his mate, remains safe and unharmed. Easier said than done. When one year after his brother defected, Jiang Wanyin mysteriously dies in a night hunt, he leaves behind a grieving Lan Xichen, half dead and barely living. But what happens when Jiang Cheng shows up eight years later with the same fiery temper and grumpy attitude-only this time, amnesiac and oblivious? When worlds collide-old and new clashing in an odd twist of fate-will Lan Xichen be able to rouse the long-dormant passion? The love that weathered eight years of wear and tear? Or will they succumb to their fate, the loss and grief winning at last?
