Chapter 1

1. Watching From The Sideline

"Lights out!"

The command echoed throughout the palace as it was followed by a resounding trumpet.

The moon was overhead, shinning so brightly illuminating the dark roofs of the visible red-brick palaces of Wu Kingdom. No soul was supposed to be seen wandering aimlessly on the sacred premises, except the soldiers standing on guard and servants waiting in front of the two specific closed thick doors.

The sprawling, extravagant imperial palace was at the centre surrounded by many other small palaces that had yet to extinguish the lamps and candles as per the usual curfew.

The emperor's sleeping quarters was the only exception, still brimming with unrestrained light and lit with fragrant candles to aid during the passionate night.

One could see intimate movements depicted from within the room, through the vevelt curtains which covered the screens. A pair of silhouettes tumbled and spun around as if they were dancing to some exciting rhythmic tune. Some time in between the guards standing outside could here some muffled groans and some erotic moans. However, the ones inside could hear everything more distinctly and watch everything very clearly.

Lui Xian, a man in his early thirties, was one such a man who was witnessing the unspeakable.

He has very long and silky black hair that reached his back but was usually tied in a neat ponytail. And he made sure it didn't get messy. Whenever he wandered around and did his duties, he always looks after his appearance, especially when he is in the palace.

This spirited gentleman has been paying attention to everything with his dim brown eyes. That had started to accumulate some moisture after staring at the scene occurring in front of him unblinkingly. His tanned skin had also become very red hot maybe from the erotic interactions below or probably from a too familiar feeling within his heart.

He stood upright with his six feet tall body almost touching the roof. He wore dull black clothes and a golden embroidered mask covering half of his face from just below his eyes. He had a sword at his waist that he kept clutching when it got too intense between the couple on the bed.

"....Ah...." A warm erotic scream filled the whole room before it was muffled in a kiss. Pale arms wound around the thick muscular back, holding tightly for support. The nails dug deep as if they were thirsting for blood.

"My Liege...please....some more..ahh." A faminine voice managed to say when the woman was released from the ferocious kiss. She was struggling to breath, her pants, arousing the man more.

The unfortunate good looking man found himself staring attentively at the familiar scene through the slightly covered red curtains hanging at the sides of the bed. Apart from hearing everything he could also see the two stark naked bodies entangled together so that no space was left in-between.

Their union twisted and pricked his heart to a greater extent. At first when he was only seeing them mess around, his heart felt like it was suffocating and sinking after constantly hearing several moans. Then when he watched more, he clutched his chest wanting to lessen the pain.

The two lovers below continued groaning, purring whilst rolling between the sheets not even carrying for anything in the whole wide world.

It wasn't the first time he has witnessed all of this happening. Each day when he is on duty he dreads this time when he is watching something he longs for very much go away from his reach.

He had admired the elegant son of heaven for quite some years now. It is safe to say he had entered the palace for his sake. Going through the difficult training from being a mere commoner to being the secret royal guard who was always by his side. But it hurt so much to see the man he yearned for indulge with hundreds women each and every shift he is on. Sometimes he wonders why he had fallen in love with this man of all the people.

It was more than ten years back in the city when he was drinking with his friends at an Inn called Hulin. It was just after his twentyeth birthday and his friends had dragged him out to play. They had raced each other in the woods, letting their horses gallop at an unbelivable speed. Feeling the wind rushing past by, and letting the excitement tingle his every fibre of the body. It was one of those days he liked very much.

"Xian I have heard you earned lots of ingots from that previous trade." He listened to him talk as his mind flashed back on the day he sold all of his things, before he was interrupted by his other companions.

"Buy us some wine!" They echoed. Their boisterous voices filling the whole area. Some curious gazes fell upon them.

Lui Xian didn't even get a chance to refuse. He stood up and went to order at a wine stall a few steps away from where he was sitting. At the time when he was ordering at the counter, a glimpse of shimmering light passed by.

He ran after it and caught up to a man probably in his late teens, walking at a distance with three skilled men behind him strolling leisurely without any worry in the world. He had a smile on as he walked and hopped just like a little rabbit. His ink-black hair falling as if following behind his every step. His embroidered blue robes making swishing sounds that everyone seemed to naturally ignore as they focused on their own things.

What mostly caught Lui Xian's heart was the way the other moved from one station of food tents to the other, tasting delicacies so excitedly. And also the way his sharp azure eyes kept shifting from one place to the other. At that time he had an urge to stand up and carry the other person to his home.

Later on, he was shocked and disappointed when he discovered that the man who was stealing his sleep at night was the famous crown Prince of Wu kingdom. The sun that was out of his reach.

Lui Xian felt very dispirited knowing that he had no chance at all. It was the first time to feel attracted to the other with that kind of feeling. And unfortunately there wasn't any opportunity to act on it. He spent many days at his manor, his mind filled with that one beautiful sight. He couldn't eat propely. And also he spent most of his time feeling very sleepy and listless.

It was like that for half a month before he heard good news from his friends, telling him that the palace was in the process of recruiting people to aid in the army. He had happily signed up and was very eager to meet his fancy. He spent years training so that he could be beside him forever. When the other took the throne he was by his side in every step of the way.

At times like this, watching him going further and further, he wonders almost every night, "When am I going to get my happy ending?"

2. Hurting But There Is Still Tomorrow
Feeling suffocated to an extent that his eyes started to burn, he slipped out of the room and lept on a peach tree close to the palace. He sat on one of the top trunks looking at the few stars in the sky. The darkness seemed to embrace his loneliness."When will he come to me?" He murmured softly with a tear cascading on his cheek. He could feel his heart aching with a prickly feel. His mind went back to the events that had occurred a few moments ago. Disrupting his peace of mind. And also adding a lot of turmoil that's difficult to tame. "I'm losing hope." He could hear his own voice sounding very hoarse. And his throat feeling very dry. When he felt his eyes watery and blurry, he turned away from the sparkly stars above that appeared as if they were mocking him. He burrowed his head on top of his legs. At first, he believed that time would change everything but he was soon proved wrong when the man he loved continued to sleep around. He felt very dejected and depressed but there

3. Is It Hunting Or Being Hunted?
"Xian! Come take a look!" Rushan called for his friend who at the time was staring at the food being sold nearby. There was some grilled meat, some bread and biscuits baked beautifully, roasted corn cob, anything that was sweet and delicious was displayed for the customers to see. He could not contain himself but imagine the monarch going about trying everything as he urged him to try as well. "...." He turned to look to the one who had called him. His gaze landed on the sword in his hands. It was just a normal sword. But he knew the prince thought otherwise. "Should I buy it? I am going to gift it to Imperial brother." Lui Xian didn't have to answer before Rushan purchased it. After a while wandering about and taking a mount of things in an expensive sac, the two started to make their way back to the palace. They were on their horses riding at a steady pace. For some reason, the two didn't want to get back early for they knew that on their arrival they would see preparations for t

4. Arrival At Qiu Yu Village
"Ouch..." Lui Xian was awakened by an intense paining on his abdomen. He struggled to sit up and then slowly supported himself on the dirty ground and then leaned his back on a tree. His right hand moved downwards, getting closer to the wound which he clutched at with great force. He immediately surveyed his surroundings in the pitch darkness. He wondered if his eyes were still alright for he could see nothing and he could only feel the chilly wind whispering beside his ears. He felt itchy all over from the mosquito bites that were imprinted on his body. He extended his hands to reach for something on the ground, only to come in contact with some clay and a hard surface. He spread his palm and started feeling around trying to find some hope. Then he rasply murmured, "where am l?" He got no answer instead he heard his distorted voice reverberating in the night, seeming as if he was being asked the same question. The lonely man wanted nothing but to be asleep in his quiet quarters.

5. The Doctor Meets The Enemy
Inside the shop, the woman sat beside Lui Xian her eyes gawking at his face. "He is very good-looking. I wonder if our child is going to look like him."Hexiu whispered lowly as she poked at his cheeks feeling quite happy with herself. She fancied the man. He had everything she had ever admired in a man. Well, in many men. She likes a well-built body like his. And also handsome looks like his. Why wouldn't she, she is a widow after all. After her husband died she vowed to relish various sexy guys in order to lessen her agony. Lui Xian was deeply unconscious and was oblivious to what was happening. He was lying on a mat and was covered with a quilt that rested just above his waist. His upper muscular body was exposed giving a full picture of the wound that was dripping with some blood, some flesh was exposed giving a frightful feeling.He had little drops of sweat trailing down his forehead that already had several frowning lines. His skin was pale and his lips had some cracks and w

6. Settling Down
"Elder Sister, he regained consciousness!" Lui Xian brought his hands up to cover his ears from the shrieking voice right beside him. He looked up to see a little girl putting away a dish almost full of peeled potatoes. She turned and also stared back at him smiling at the man who had been sleeping for a whole week. "How do you feel? Should I call for the doctor?" The little girl asked attempting to rise but she was pushed down by a hand which moved quite faster than lightning. She had known that the man knew martial arts after all her Elder Brother often took her along on his many voyages. Also the sword and bloody appearance were very familiar in her memories. "I'm okay. Is there any adult around? I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude." Lui Xian asked in a hoarse voice. He felt that it was weird to be talking to a toddler about his health. It made him feel as if he was burdening her at such a young age. "There is no need. We are very happy that you ended up here." Hexiu

7. Who Are You?
Sensing someone's presence watching him from behind, Lui Xian swiftly stood up and turned around. His face was cold. His eyes devoid of any emotion, as he stared at the other with a heated gaze. He scrutinized the appearance of the other person who was also giving the same stare. Feng Shao was a metre away from the other. He displayed a disappointed look as if he had come across with the last person he wanted to see. He wished to turn around and pretend not to have seen him. But it was too late. They had already made eye contact. "Did you hear what I just said?" Those were the first words Lui Xian asked, not even passing a single greeting. He didn't mind that it was his first time meeting him. And that he was kinda rude to the other man. Instead he hoped that the other would brush off what he had just heard and be on his way."Yes. I heard everything." Unfortunately Feng Shao didn't get the hint.Lui Xian lowered his head while he clutched the smooth material of his clothes desperat

8. Welcoming An Unwanted Visitor
"We are not selling this house. Young man maybe you've got the wrong address." Old Feng spoke whilst sitting on a stool under the tree. He supported his back on the trunk and looked up at Lui Xian. "No Granpa I have been told to come here. Lady Hexiu mentioned that she had found a room for me to stay." He responded while making his way to greet him. "You mean Lan're sent you here. Come sit. Xiao Feng, prepare some tea. We have a guest."Lui Xian took his seat beside the old man and started chatting with one another. They talked of trivial matters such as state affairs and silly gossips. They were getting along very well."You!" His attention was drawn away by that remark. He felt that the voice was very familiar. And so he raised his head to look at the disdainful man he had met not too long ago."What are you doing here? Oh, you are following me." Lui Xian stupidly accused standing up as well to look at the other man. The accused could only frown with disdain feeling his head aching

9. Lui Xian's Doom
"Hey bring me a cup of tea. I feel so cold in here." Lui Xian ordered Feng Shao who was busy fixing supper in the small room just next to the one he was in. He could smell the fragrance of the burning wood and also the aroma of the food he was making. The other man did not even acknowledge his mere existence as he remained very busy, adding wood in the fire and putting water in the pot. He had managed to make two dishes so far. And the annoying guy he hated so much was being lazy in the next room not even bothering to help. Anyways he liked it that way, he didn't have to see his face. Well not for too long. When he didn't see anyone coming with his tea, Lui Xian exited the room and then moved into the kitchen and sat on a reed mat in a position where he could see the other do all the work. He observed each and every movement the other performed seeming it as if it's a show. When he was too bored in silence, he supported his elbow on the ground and rested his head on his palm. One of

10. Not A Morning Person
Mist covered the whole village, birds flew away from the trees towards the sky as if they had sensed danger. The sun was yet to rise for it was still early in the morning. The dense forest was weirdly quiet and heavy boots stumped towards the residence of Qiu Yu village."Commander, I heard that he's staying with the Feng family." One man from the enemy's side saluted as he reported what he had gathered for the past two days. Bao Lu had been sent to the village to spy around so that they could find the man they had failed to kill during the hunt. At first they had assumed that he had died somewhere on the hunting grounds. However, after searching thoughroughly for several days and not finding any body they started to doubt it and later found news in their circle."All of you get ready. Ten of you attack from the front door and the remaining wait here and keep watch." He ordered as he readied his weapon for a fight. "Yes sir!" The rest of of them started doing what they were told. "T
