Synopsis

[Two male leads + regent + emperor + evenly matched + domineering pursuit]

I am an emperor.

My life's goal is to squander the empire my father left me. Don't get the wrong idea. I mean it. So I started favoring corrupt officials and treacherous ministers. But those corrupt officials became far too brazen, and when a little boy with his hair tied in buns tugged at my sleeve and said he was hungry, I realized this approach wouldn't work. I needed to try something else.

I began building palaces and temples on a grand scale, but before long, people across the land started worshipping Buddha. The people's support grew stronger, and they all praised me as a good emperor.

I…

I thought it over from every angle. The only thing left to do was ruin the country. One day, a troupe performed a play, and as I watched the story of a former dynasty's founding emperor losing his empire after favoring a seductress, I decided they had a point.

So I ordered a selection of consorts. I chose the daughter of a criminal from the previous dynasty, thinking the ministers would be outraged and rebel as a matter of course. Instead, the Astronomical Bureau submitted a memorial the very next day, praising my wisdom and selflessness.

It turned out that this “daughter” of a criminal was as ugly as the legendary Dongshi, with the bulk of a sow, yet she was born with the destiny of a phoenix. Whoever married her would bring peace and prosperity to the country.

Me: “…”

I began to wonder if perhaps I had truly done something wrong.

Maybe the empire my father left me wasn't as easy to ruin as I'd imagined.

Perhaps I should reconsider my goals and methods.

Another version~

My imperial brother had a close friend named Gu Xingqiu. My brother loved him dearly. They went everywhere and lived together, sharing a bond of male love.

During the struggle among the five princes, Gu Xingqiu came to save me and had no time to look after my brother. My brother was defeated. He was the chosen one, the Crown Prince personally appointed by our father. On the day he lost, Gu Xingqiu tried to kill himself, but I saved him.

I knew he hated me to the core.

Let's just let the relationship end, and give Xiao Yu his freedom. Seeing this, I always feel he shouldn't be trapped by love or anything else. His first half of life was just too bitter. I hope that at least in the second half of his life, he can experience the beauty of nature, the sunrise and sunset.

Amazing! I only clicked on the book because the title sounded nice, and the first chapter was in classical Chinese, which I loved. Then the more I read, the better it got, and I couldn't stop reading. I even almost didn't want to update anymore (a chronic procrastinator's rant!!). 🤦🤦🤦🤦 It's incredibly well-written! The writing style is superb!

Waaah... Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! In the prime of your life, you met the person you wanted to spend your life with. When you were in dire straits, that person rushed to your aid. You thought it was salvation, so you chased after them like a moth to a flame, never retreating even when you were covered in wounds.

It seems everyone likes Gu Xingqiu, but what about Yan Xiu? His love is also resounding; he never expects anything, yet it's always there.

Well written!! [Spoiler Warning] The relationship between the two main characters is portrayed very delicately, with both love and hate. My favorite character is Xiao Jue, followed by Yan Xiu. The female characters are also well-developed, with their own experiences, thoughts, and happy endings.

So who does Gu Xingqiu really love? And what about me, Yan Xiu? A family of three isn't impossible, as long as you're all doing well.

So the seemingly sweet part in the middle is actually a mirage, an illusion. Gu Xingqiu didn't commit suicide after being rescued; he did it to save the country and avenge his lover. So what's real? 😭

I highly recommend this book. The author's writing is excellent, the descriptions are very detailed, and the portrayal of emotions is delicate. Sometimes I even blush a little! 😆 I really love the protagonist's personality! 😘 I hope it has a happy ending! I really can't bear to see the protagonist suffer in despair!

Gu Xingqiu realized his feelings for Yan Xiu, who helped him a lot, but the poor emperor only loved Xingqiu.
