Summary
In a noble household ruled by duty, discipline, and quiet winter light, the Liáng brothers have always believed their eldest is unbreakable, a cold pillar carved from iron and will. In another life, Liáng Xīn watched his family drift apart after his eldest brother died under the weight of unspoken burdens. This time, he refuses to stand by.
Reborn with the memories of a future filled with regret, Xīn quietly begins to rearrange the threads of fate. Guiding, protecting, confronting the small cruelties that once grew into tragedies. But the heart of his mission remains the same: to save the brother who saved them all.

Summary
When a humble butcher on Dàzhà Street suddenly vanishes, Jun finds himself drawn into the mystery—not because of duty, but because the man once showed him kindness... and made the city’s best blood sausage.
Though Wei warns him not to get involved, Jun’s instincts—and his appetite—say otherwise.
What begins as a quiet absence quickly unravels into something darker. Spoiled meat in Shanghai’s kitchens. Illness spreading through the city. A silence heavy with rot. As Jun probes deeper with Wénqi they uncover a disturbing trade and secrets in tainted meat.
