Amidst the dazzling lights and intoxicating allure, Cui Haiwen was merely a passerby. His dreams shattered in the sweltering summer of his fifteenth year, and his freedom lingered, never to return. Emerging from the filth of society, he and the seemingly glamorous women were nothing more than thornbirds, their freedom lost in the shadows or the light. When his mortgaged freedom returned to him, Cui Haiwen only wanted to protect everything he possessed—both love and family. A certain drunkard captain exclaimed, "Hey! 'The One' is our teacher's stage name! How can you give your son the teacher's name? Listen to me, call him Zero!" A certain physique icon declared, "Being your shadow is my choice." A certain domineering sister-complex member said, "I'm not looking for you..."

Ji Nian is an ordinary office worker, spending Monday to Friday repeating the same daily grind and sleeping in his dorm on weekends—a seven-day cycle that plays on endless repeat. Everything stays the same until a newly hired assistant disrupts this monotonous loop.

The assistant is a very beautiful girl. She takes him hiking up mountains, to see the sea, to amusement parks, and to do many things he’s never experienced before... But for some reason, even though these are all things he’s never done before, Ji Nian feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity—almost as if he’s done them not just once, but many times!

Until that day, when he’s driving alone through the silence...

A young man lived in a world of vast mountains and vast seas, a world where immortality flourished and prospered. Ancient magical powers coexisted with brand-new immortality, and all races sought a new path together. In this turbulent era, the young man longed for love and pursued beautiful women, until he finally realized that he was always alone. After a profound enlightenment, the young man wielded his sword of wisdom, severed his nine hundred and ninety-nine ties, and moved forward with grace. That day, plum blossoms bloomed like snow, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appeared. Then, the young man discovered that he had more than nine hundred and ninety-nine ties...

The story takes place in the fictional Chinese kingdom of Caiyun. According to legend, a young man, aided by the power of the Eight Immortals, founded Caiyun. Consequently, Caiyun's territory was divided into eight provinces: Hongzhou, Huangzhou, Bizhou, Lanzhou, Zizhou, Heizhou, Baizhou, and Chazhou. Approximately 600 years ago, the king of the time ordered the nobles of each province to adopt one of these eight colors as their surnames (for example, the Marquis of Lanzhou became Lan, the Marquis of Hongzhou became Hong, and so on). Commoners were prohibited from sharing surnames with these eight marquises. Consequently, those bearing these eight colors were considered the most aristocratic of the nobles. Furthermore, because the Marquis of Zizhou, where the capital was located, also served as king, the Zi family became the royal family's surname. Despite being born into the prestigious Hong family, Hong Xiuli lived in poverty. She had to work extensively to support her family. Having experienced the turmoil of the throne struggle as a child, she deeply understood the suffering of the people. From a young age, she diligently studied, hoping to pass the imperial examination, become an official, assist the king, and build a prosperous and peaceful nation. However, as a woman, she cannot take the imperial examination. One day, Xiu Li accepts a high-paying commission from Grand Tutor Xiao and enters the harem as a noble concubine to teach and assist the incompetent emperor. This opportunity leads Xiu Li to a career as an official, and she encounters a variety of people.
