Shen Bingsi hailed from a small, remote clan, yet he possessed heavenly talent. He quickly made a name for himself within the Lingjing Sect, the premier cultivation sect of the Central Continent.

In contrast, his close friend Rong Xie possessed only average aptitude. Not long after entering the inner sect alongside Shen Bingsi, he faded into the crowd.

Aware that his path in cultivation was limited, Rong Xie transitioned to a support role behind the scenes. He gathered intelligence for Shen Bingsi and managed the heavenly treasures his friend collected from all corners of the world, gradually becoming Shen Bingsi’s butler.

One night, Rong Xie woke up beside Shen Bingsi drenched in cold sweat. The nightmare he had just experienced felt incredibly real, the details vivid and haunting:

He and Shen Bingsi were merely characters in a popular novel. Unlike the protagonist Shen Bingsi, however, he was just a minor supporting character with scant screen time. He only appeared to provide logistical support when Shen Bingsi needed it, remaining insignificant in Shen Bingsi’s magnificent life.

It wasn’t until the ending—where Shen Bingsi had to sacrifice a ‘true love’ to prove the Ruthless Path and withstand the Heavenly Demons to save the world—that things took a turn. While readers speculated whether the sacrifice would be Harem Member #1 or Harem Member #2, Rong Xie was the one pushed forward.

Reader 1: Well-reasoned and convincing.

Reader 2: ? What the f*** did I just read?

Reader 3: Who is Rong Xie?

Rong Xie looked at the man sleeping on the pillow beside him with a complex expression, tossing and turning all night.

Life by Shen Bingsi’s side was indeed comfortable. His cultivation base was lacking, so Shen Bingsi engaged in dual cultivation to aid him. His disciple quarters were shoddy, so Shen Bingsi spent a fortune purchasing Huanxue Villa. He preferred quiet, and Shen Bingsi was either in seclusion or out alone on missions, never bringing outsiders home.

Should he… leave? Just because of a nightmare?

Rong Xie found the thought amusing himself, until one day, the name of Harem Member #1 fell from Shen Bingsi’s lips:

“Fairy Xingmiao is coming to visit the villa for a tour. Please make preparations.”

Rong Xie pulled out the roster of servant boys pressed at the very bottom of his drawer—the Shen family sent a batch every year, but Shen Bingsi always rejected them.

Now, it seemed, it was time to prepare. With the massive estate of Huanxue Villa, he needed to select a careful and reliable child to take over management so he could run away with peace of mind.

Shen Bingsi: ? Where did my huge, living best friend go?
