Synopsis

[Two male leads + evenly matched + revenge and punishing scumbags + one-on-one happy ending + switching roles]

[Scheming prince x sweet-faced, dark-hearted green-tea heir]

Warning: Two male leads, they dote on each other and both take the initiative. Don't read if that's not your thing!

Shen Linyuan, the only son of the Marquis of Wu'an, lost both his parents at a young age. The Empress Dowager took him into the palace to raise him, and there he met the second prince, Xiao Junyue, who brought light back into his otherwise dark and dreary life.

Unfortunately, their happiness didn't last. Xiao Junyue was struck by a deadly poison. Though it didn't kill him, it left him chronically ill, turning the once-beloved son of heaven into a caged beast.

Not wanting Shen Linyuan to suffer because of him, Xiao Junyue deliberately began to keep his distance.

But his calculated aloofness didn't drive Shen Linyuan away. Instead, it made Shen even more obsessed with him.

“Your Highness, do you truly feel nothing for me?”

Shen Linyuan gazed at the handsome man before him, who looked like a demon made flesh. Tears shimmered in his eyes, and he seemed on the verge of crying.

Xiao Junyue furrowed his brows slightly and sighed.

“My lord, for all these years, I've thought of you only as my younger brother. Nothing more.”

Later,

Shen Linyuan pinned Xiao Junyue by the shoulders, pressing him hard against the wall. He curled his lips slightly, his gaze burning and dangerous.

“Brother, what about now?”

Xiao Junyue looked helplessly at Shen Linyuan, who was going mad before his eyes, his gaze gentle and indulgent.

“Yes. I always have.”

Romance, two male leads, or fanfiction are all fine. I really love seeing characters injured in battle. Or stories with a loyal puppy-like character would be great too.

Author, please update frequently! I love this kind of political intrigue novel; it has a great plot, a romance, and the side couple is so sweet!!! The two working together to build their careers is just so cool! I especially love Ning Xiang; she's practically the queen of our CP fans! I love it so much, keep it up! 😘

It's good. I hoped Xiaoyue'er would be the bottom, but then he turned the tables and I couldn't continue watching. That's what I can't accept the most. I really like the ambiguous feeling between the two of them. After that, I just skimmed through the extra chapters. 😘

Lin Yuan's love is blatant, while Jun Yue's love is cautious due to poisoning. This book is truly wonderful; it's a sweet and heartwarming romance, a mutual and devoted relationship that always touches the heart. I highly recommend it!

I really love every couple in this book; they perfectly match my reading preferences. I've always loved stories with a handsome, dominant male lead, and both partners being possessive and deeply in love and trust each other. Basically, it's all right up my alley. I'm really looking forward to your next book! 🥰🥰
