<blockquote>Shen Yuan’s eyes widened when he opened the door to find his regular courier standing there, drenched, pitiful and dripping copiously onto his door mat. Luo Binghe looked like a particularly handsome drowned rat. “Shit, I’m sorry,” Shen Yuan said with a wince. “I tried to cancel!

<blockquote>[originally a threadfic] Initially, the peak lord of An Ding takes in Mobei Jun out of pity. The child is big and strong for his age, but his potential to cultivate is low. He’s a strange and silent boy, friendless, lacking in ambition.

As it turns out, he is wrong.</blockquote>
