Ximen Tianyun had once been a nobody whom everyone looked down on.
But who could have imagined it?
In the face of calamity, the only one to seek him out and declare that he would use his own life to carve out a sliver of survival for him was that former nobody.
Qin Shaofeng had seen too many good people come to no good end.
