Fans of angsty, slow-burn wuxia BL with tragic mistaken-identity romance and redemption will be captivated.
In a wuxia world of martial sects and a shadowy demonic cult, the son of a righteous sect master returns after ten years to destroy the cult that scarred his past. He finds himself increasingly drawn to a poisoned, alluring man he once blamed for saving him — unaware his true savior was actually the man's twin. Born from mistaken identity, old hatred slowly turns into forbidden love amid secrets of sacrifice and revenge.
Duan Ling (Duàn Líng) is the son of the leader of an orthodox sect, possessing an extraordinarily handsome appearance. As a child, he was abducted by the Demonic Cult, where he was repeatedly mocked and humiliated by Lu Xiuwen (Lù Xiūwén), the arrogant and tyrannical son of the cult's leader. From then on, Lu Xiuwen became the person Duan Ling hated most. However, Lu Xiuwen's twin brother, Lu Xiuyan (Lù Xiūyán), was the complete opposite. The gentle Lu Xiuyan would send medicine every time Duan Ling was bullied and wounded, and even risked his life to steal the cult leader's sacred token, helping Duan Ling escape from the Demonic Cult. At the moment of their parting, Lu Xiuyan gave Duan Ling a light kiss. Duan Ling swore to himself: he would surely rescue him from the Demonic Cult one day... Ten years later, Duan Ling conquered the Heaven-Severing Cult, only to find Lu Xiuwen there—stripped of all his internal power and afflicted by a dozen kinds of poison. As it turned out, over the years Lu Xiuyan had already married and even had children. Meanwhile, having been saved by Lu Xiuwen time and again whenever he fell into danger, Duan Ling gradually let go of the past and chose to stay by Lu Xiuwen's side, determined to cure him of the poison. Then, on New Year's Eve, as he watched Lu Xiuwen grow colder and colder in his arms, Duan Ling finally realized the truth. He had already fallen in love with him long ago…
Originally the heir to the leader of the Demonic Cult. Behind his cold and merciless attitude, he concealed his love for his junior, even as he was made to suffer greatly for his sake. He nearly lost his life—but even brought back from the brink, does his love remain undimmed, and does he have no regrets?
Captured in his youth, he came to know Lu Xiuwen in the Demonic Cult. Though he was constantly tormented by him, it was because of that man's twin brother's kindness that Duan Ling mistook one for the other on the most important night of his life—falling in love through a case of mistaken identity.

Shixiong Lu Xiuwen, who protects Duan Ling, is a character I really love — he's strong and cool. He has both the strength and the intelligence to protect the people precious to him, truly a dependable shixiong! The cast of 729's performances were also excellent, I couldn't put down my handkerchief while watching. Crying over the two of their ironic fate, chuckling at the shixiong-shidi banter, it was an interesting work all the way through! The sweet bonus episodes after the main story were also great!! The "marriage snatching" bonus about Xiuwen's reaction upon hearing rumors of the Duan family's son getting married... the "swing" bonus where they talk about their future together while building a swing for the kids... and more! Every single bonus episode was good! Thank you so much for adding Japanese subtitles!!
Good, good, so good. The domestic version doesn't even leave you a whiff of exhaust fumes, the Japanese version is way better. Now the only place you can hear the uncut version is on overseas sites. OKfone, I'm impressed, honestly.
The audio quality is excellent!! Honestly so good I don't want to go back to using Manbo anymore! The vocals sound so clean!!! Thank you for restoring the parts of the story that were cut on domestic platforms and for putting so much care into the translation!! I hope the third collaboration work will also get a chance to be available on this platform! I hope things keep getting better, and I hope Shanbei collaborates for the third time soon!!!!!!!
