In this chapter, we learn that Chinglishang wants to rope Jingtian into a marriage with him. He wants to make sure that they are both "nobles of high standing" . Jingtian says that he is a "bian city lord" , but that he will protect him as a "Dongxi city lord." He says that if he were to lose Jingtian, he would take him to the "dongxi country." He adds that if Jingtian were to reject him, then he would leave him as "one of my past lives" and that he would still have "another identity" to stay by his side. He says he is willing to become Jingtian's "concubine" if they were to marry.
