In their previous life, Gu Ningyuan and Shen Yue were sworn enemies, yet in the end, Shen Yue sacrificed his own life to save Gu Ningyuan’s.
Reborn into a new life, Gu Ningyuan felt that mere gratitude could never repay such a debt, so he decided to adopt a young Shen Yue, giving him a happy childhood to make up for the life he owed from their past existence.
Unexpectedly...
Despite Gu Ningyuan’s **"painstaking efforts"** and **"showering him with sweetness,"** young comrade Shen Yue remained steadfast, blossoming into a black lotus—dark all the way through, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys utterly pitch-black.
Gu Ningyuan was deeply troubled—how had the little brother he had doted on so dearly turned into a black lotus once again? What he didn’t know was that this tenacious black lotus had set his sights on the same person, across both lifetimes.
