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.

"Breaking News: Recently, Jason Statham successfully ignited the Spark, becoming the seventh Star-level War God in North America."

This is the story of an inspirational young man who has worked hard for five thousand years and returned to a different hometown.

When death approached, Ding Xie glimpsed a sliver of truth—some were monsters, lurking among the people, devouring flesh and blood; some were demons, mingling in the marketplace, slaughtering families; some were gods, residing high in temples, killing countless. He gently patted the coffin lid, flicked the incense of bliss, and offered sacrifices to countless people. Here, he used his quick-draw gun technique, running rampant without restraint. Here, he used paper-cutting to become a flying immortal, and shadow puppets to become gods. Here, he used his waist drum to set up the Imprisoning Heaven Array, and used the stove fire to save all people. And everything started from that 'legacy'.

[A Powerful Person Bows Down / A Beijing Elite x A Sober Female College Student]

During the two years that Ying Yun was with Ye Jiahuai, many people privately discussed how high she wanted to climb by using Ye Jiahuai as a stepping stone.

Unexpectedly, as she was about to graduate, that beautiful figure disappeared without a trace in Beicheng.

No one took her departure seriously, assuming that Mr. Ye had simply grown tired of her.

Until one banquet, someone scoffed and mentioned Ying Yun's name.

With a crisp sound, Ye Jiahuai's dark eyes were reflected in the shattered cup.

No one knows who was the one who said "goodbye".

It was Ying Yun.

—

When they parted, Ye Jiahuai asked her, "What if I don't let you go?"

Ying Yun smiled: "Can you?"

He sneered, "Ah Jun, I'm not a good person."

—

Ying Yun never imagined that she would meet Ye Jiahuai again in a mountain village primary school thousands of miles away from Beicheng.

On camera, he remained as indifferent and aloof as when they first met, addressing her as "Teacher Ying."

Ying Yun reached out and shook his hand, her expression gentle and unassuming. "Hello, Chairman Ye."

As night deepened in the mountains, the teachers gathered together to talk about the handsome man they had met that day.

Getting carried away, he asked for her opinion, "Xiaojun, do you think that guy is really handsome?"

Ying Yun remained calm and said, "It's so-so."

They laughed and teased her, saying that she was blind to love, and that her heart and eyes were only for Teacher Lin.

But no one knew that the cold and arrogant face of that man during the day would press her against the car window under the soft moonlight, kissing her until she was breathless.

Ye Jiahuai whispered in her ear, his tone cold and mocking, "Has he ever kissed you like this? What kind of lover is he?"
