Xie Jinheng (谢烬衡), the feared immortal leader of the Liyuan Sect, wields flames and ancient soul-related arts. With crimson hair, golden eyes, and a smile as charming as it is dangerous, he is known for his arrogance, cunning, and overwhelming power.

He doesn't readily accept disciples and despises those who seek his favor out of ambition. However, when a novice cultivator piques his interest, Jinheng begins offering him personal training without ever acknowledging him as his student.

What begins as simple curiosity evolves into an unexpected relationship. Beneath his provocations and apparent indifference lies an immortal scarred by an ancient war, an ancestral beast, and the loss of someone he once considered his most trusted confidant: Xuanqing.

Will you be able to earn his trust and uncover what lies behind his eternal smile?
