【1v1: Devoted Prince, Pursuing Top × Patient, Scheming Minister, Bottom】【Perfect Match + Reunion After Years Apart + Alternate Ancient Setting + Political Intrigue】
May our youthful days endure, and next year, as ever, may we share a laugh in the spring breeze.
Many years ago, Bei Sui launched an invasion of Great Wei, striking straight at Xiangzhou. Prince Xiang led his troops to fight back, but the entire army was wiped out. In a single night, the Prince of Xiang's residence ceased to exist.
Years later, Huai Tingyu, once the adopted son of Prince Xiang, had transformed into Pei Yunye, a trusted court official at the side of the Emperor of Great Wei. After years in hiding, he hoped that one day he would kill his enemies with his own hands and avenge Prince Xiang and his army.
Who could have expected an imperial decree ordering him to personally escort Prince Liang, Liang Xu, back?
No one else knew that, back then, he and Liang Xu had been so close they had nearly married. But after all these years, when Pei Yunye saw a new person standing beside his former lover, a sharp pain suddenly stabbed his eyes. Even so, he smiled and addressed Liang Xu: “Your Highness, Prince Liang.”
As though they had never known each other.
＊
From the devoted prince's perspective:
Everyone said that the people of Prince Xiang's household had either died in battle or perished in the fire. Liang Xu refused to believe that Huai Tingyu could have died like that, but despite years of searching, he never found any trace of him.
Then, one day, they met again. Huai Tingyu had changed his name to Pei Yunye, and now treated him like a stranger, polite and distant.
Liang Xu couldn't understand. They had exactly the same face, so why wouldn't his prince consort acknowledge him?
