Summary:
Background: Low-fantasy cultivation, fictional empire.
The traitorous general Gu Mang once again returned to his home country, and everyone was quick to exclude him. It was said that the one who hated him the most was once the closest of his brothers — The cold and stoic Young Master Mo. Rumour on the streets: Young Master Mo had prepared 365 ways to interrogate him via torture and was waiting to try it on Gu Mang. The rich variety of comprehensive methods he had were more than enough to play with him for an entire year without repeating.

But the rumours were soon prohibited by Young Master Mo, using the reason that they painted him as a lunatic and were gravely inconsistent with the truth.

So what was the truth?

The truth was even more unspeakable—

Mo Xi’s Identity: The cleanest, most honourable commander of the Empire.

His relationship with the traitorous Gu Mang: They’ve slept together before.
