This is a world where strength is considered supreme. The story follows Wang Li, who was once a comrade of the Protagonist Ye Fan. However, there comes a time when Wang Li and his family falls for the schemes of Ye Fan and loses all their prestige and power. Wang Li recieves a blessing from his ancestor and uses this blessing to change his fate and step on Ye Fan and countless other protagonists. And as he steps on more protagonists, Wang Li becomes more villanious day by day.
Despite the temptation to linger in Xia Bingling's embrace, Wang Li knew better. Dawn was approaching, and Qingwu wouldn't be long in returning. Explaining his presence in Xia Bingling's chamber at this ungodly hour wouldn't be easy, not even with his practiced charm.
With a reluctant sigh, he disentangled himself from Xia Bingling. "I should get going," he murmured, his voice a low rumble against her ear. "Qingwu should be returning soon."
Xia Bingling understood. A flicker of disappointment crossed her eyes, quickly replaced by a knowing smile. "Of course," she replied, her voice smooth as silk. "Don't worry, your little secret is safe with me."
A wave of relief washed over Wang Li. He leaned down, brushing his lips against hers in a quick, chaste kiss. "Thank you," he whispered, before slipping out of the room like a phantom.
