Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Summary from the web novel:

Fa Hua is the most outstanding prodigy from the Magic Domain. He lives in the Magic Domain, upholds law and order, has etiquette and is well-mannered, is an expert at commanding, and controls the power of the Codex.

Lan Ge is the most outstanding prodigy from the Blue Domain. He lives in the Blue Domain, advocates freedom, lives as a free soul, is an expert at battling, and controls the power of the Elements.

The people from the Magic Domain believe that humans are descendants of the Gods. During the ancient times, they received the blessings of the Codex, which allowed them to create and uphold law and order.

The people from the Blue Domain believe that humans are naturally born to be pampered. They were favoured by nature and obtained the power of the Six Major Elements — water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness. They believe strongly in having freedom.

Although both Domains were made up of humans, their mindsets were highly conflicting, causing them to be in a constant state of half-confrontation and half-cooperation. Whenever they were attacked by other non-human tribes, they would work together to fight against their common enemy. But when there were no external threats present, they refused to tolerate one another.

Given these huge conflicts between their Domains, it was only by chance of a risky adventure that Fa Hua and Lan Ge crossed paths. Through a serendipitous encounter, they were both bound together by a mysterious contract that allowed them to share the same fate. With this contract, they were granted the ability to call upon each other’s powers…
