A bloodthirsty, brutal regent who only wants to protect the emperor x a seemingly meek, pitiful, delicate flower who is actually cold and only wants to marry the regent
A year ago, Zuo Tangyan proclaimed himself regent, upended the court, and took control of life and death. He had no particular fondness for power; he did it all for the emperor, who only knew how to play and pout. Still, Zuo Tangyan was more than happy to indulge Yun Tingfeng.
Yun Tingfeng had relied on Zuo Tangyan for as long as he could remember. When he realized his feelings had become something more, he chose to keep them to himself. But now his love for Zuo Tangyan had only grown stronger, and he could no longer bear to be apart from him. Otherwise, he would go mad. So he used Zuo Tangyan’s affection for him, along with his own usual well-behaved act, to weave an invisible net that kept Zuo Tangyan firmly by his side.
The years Yun Tingfeng spent pouting and playing the victim:
Zuo Tangyan snapped at him.
Yun Tingfeng: “Sob~”
Zuo Tangyan scolded him.
Yun Tingfeng: “Waaah~”
Zuo Tangyan refused his request.
Yun Tingfeng gazed at him through tearful eyes, biting his lip without a word.
Zuo Tangyan spent the night in the same room as another friend.
Yun Tingfeng: “...” He took a knife and coldly prepared to chop the man down.
Younger love interest. Zuo Tangyan is five years older than Yun Tingfeng, and painfully slow to recognize his own feelings.
Too short, not enough to watch.
