At the wedding banquet of Nangong Si and Song Qiutong, Hua BiNan sits among the guests with his fiancé by his side. What appears to be a perfect couple hides a deeper partnership and shared secrets, as they navigate the political landscape of the cultivation world.It was the wedding banquet of the heir of the RuFeng Sect of the Upper Cultivation World, NanGong Si, who was marrying Song QiuTong—a Butterfly-Boned Beauty Feast, her presence drawing attention as likely being a human subcategory.
The union wasn't based on love, but on dual cultivation between her and NanGong Si once they began their life as spouses. The main purpose was for Song QiuTong to help improve her husband's health through cultivation technique.
Hua BiNan sat quietly beside Jiang Xi, leader of the GuYueYe Sect, at the long table, listening to the murmurs and toasts of the NanGong family and various guests—some of whom had already gotten drunk shortly after the grand banquet had begun.
To his right was his fiancé. Publicly, Hua BiNan and his fiancé had been engaged since their teenage years, only a few years away from marriage, and were seen as an extremely close and well-matched couple. There was hardly ever a situation in which they weren't seen together—unless it was something private or a particularly important mission.
What appeared to be a love story that would blossom into a small future family... was, in truth, a partnership with shared intentions that were good but morally gray. Hua BiNan's plan was followed by his fiancé attentively, without complaint or resistance, fully willing to bring Hua BiNan's clan "home." They also worked naturally with this timeline's Shi Mei: in an exceptional arrangement, there were three masterminds.
In public, their deeper connection remained a secret and had to appear as it always did. Not that Hua BiNan wasn't in love anyway—so there wasn't much to fake. Hua BiNan leaned slightly to his right, holding a small cup half-filled with white wine, still untouched; he was toying with the contents, swirling it gently.
His golden eyes settled on his fiancé, an unconscious smile forming beneath the thick veil.
"Tao'er," Hua BiNan murmured, his voice just loud enough for his beloved to hear over the drunken chatter of the banquet.
"You haven't eaten anything."
