Before this, General Bai was just a vagrant on the streets, unrecognized by anyone.
Because Jidan possessed the privilege of leaving the palace at intervals and being free outside for a time, the last time he left, he encountered General Bai who hadn't eaten for days, on his last breath, about to die.
Jidan could not bear to see such a modest man in this state and took him to his residence outside the palace. He ordered his servants to take care of General Bai. After being cleaned and changed into fresh clothes, Jidan realized he was an exceptionally handsome man; it was merely his misfortune that had reduced him to this situation.
Jidan, in a rash decision, brought him back, perhaps it was fate.
The two of them spent day and night together and eventually, feelings developed. However, when it came time to return to the palace, Jidan couldn't immediately bring General Bai with him. If that angered Emperor Honghuang, he would essentially be killing his beloved.
