May You and All Under Heaven Know Peace!

[Original + male/male romance + sweet indulgence + a touch of political intrigue + sickly bottom + happy ending]

In the thirtieth year of the Great Liang dynasty, the third prince, Liang Xue, and his tutor, Mu Qinghe, reclaimed Yuanzhou. They returned victorious, and Liang Xue was named crown prince. Soon afterward, the emperor of Great Liang passed away, and Liang Xue ascended the throne. He appointed Mu Qinghe chancellor, placing him as The Outcast, above all others save the emperor!

Amid turmoil at court, Mu Qinghe was targeted:

“I had heard that the chancellor is the son of a convicted minister. How can someone like him stand in this court?”

Liang Xue issued a casual warning: “You have so much to say. I suppose you’ve eaten too much and have all that energy with nowhere to spend it? Then deal with him. As for the rest of you, mind your own business and keep your useless mouths shut. Otherwise, just look at what happened to him.”

With the realm in chaos and enemies attacking from all sides, Liang Xue decided to go to the battlefield himself.

Mu Qinghe said, “I’m going with you.”

But Mu Qinghe was frail and sickly. Liang Xue couldn’t bear to make him suffer in the military camp, but when he saw the bloodstained sword in Mu Qinghe’s hand, he had no choice but to agree.

“Fine, fine, you can come. Just don’t joke around like that!”

Later, atop a snowy mountain, the people of the realm looked up to them. Peace reigned, and the land was beautiful. Standing shoulder to shoulder, they watched snow that was no longer a blizzard on the battlefield, and drank wine no longer mixed with yellow sand.

Content warning: The shou is sickly, but he absolutely will not die! Nothing but sweet indulgence!
