Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

I feel this is the top male-centric romance novel with a love triangle. It's purely historical fiction, without any messy time travel or reincarnation elements. The two fall in love young, their love is deep and mutual, and I feel so sorry for the young emperor, having to endure so much hardship and still being misunderstood by the marquis.
That was his Si Yan, the Si Yan he wanted to possess for a lifetime, the Si Yan he wanted to hold in his hands and in his heart! It's really good. The emperor's love is so restrained, hidden deep in his heart. Marquis Wei is bold and direct, a bit crazy. I really love the extreme tug-of-war between the two.
The author's writing is superb; it's not at all cheesy and contains a lot of explicit content.
This novel is truly captivating. At the beginning, the young emperor ignores the marquis's love, constantly manipulating him, which the marquis willingly accepts. Later, it becomes clear that the young emperor is under immense pressure, fighting against treacherous officials for the marquis's future.
The story is tightly plotted and intricately woven. The emperor is a shrewd individual, not some mindless character. The biggest obstacle to the love between the general and the emperor is the late emperor's will. The emperor's situation is incredibly tragic; he's busy planning their future while simultaneously being misunderstood by the general, who only realizes his love for him at the very end.
This rating shouldn't be so low! It's a very good short story, only 200,000-300,000 words, and not tiring to read. The author is described as a gentleman of unparalleled elegance, whose love is inexplicable yet profound. The writing is smooth and refreshing, a standout among dual male protagonist stories.
After watching their love story: Wow, it's so sweet! Yan Bao is so doting, I'm so jealous! Later on, Wei Chun's intelligence shouldn't have been downplayed. After all, after the death of the old Marquis Wei, the sixteen-year-old Wei Chun fought in eighty-four battles, so his intelligence must have been beyond question.
It's a great show. The Emperor's love for the Marquis of Zhenbei is truly extraordinary; he's incredibly patient and restrained. The Marquis of Zhenbei, on the other hand, is so clueless and slow to realize things. Thankfully, the ending is perfect.
Don't look at the ratings when reading books, look at the reviews. This one is truly excellent and worth reading. The author is very talented; the political intrigue is exceptionally well-written, with very smooth logical flow. It's rare to see a writer as good as Tomato (the author's pen name) produce such compelling work. I hope the author continues to improve and publishes more books.
Oh my god, it's so good! 😘 I initially thought Ayan was heartless, but actually he was the one who loved deeply, his love was restrained and humble, it was heartbreaking 😭. The ending was perfect, both sides went their separate ways, the author is truly amazing! 👍
