[Two male leads + the shou is the main character + ensemble cast, with lots of side couples, proceed with caution. Cake-fork worldbuilding]
Devoted, scheming general, a fork, x gentle, soft-hearted emperor, a cake
After raising pigs for five years, Jiang Xinyue was suddenly summoned back to the palace to become emperor. One second he was feeding pigs; the next, he held power over the entire court.
His brothers watched him like hawks, and the ministers each served their own masters. He could count the people he trusted on one hand.
With each new emperor came a new court. He would fill the government with his own people.
But the general was insubordinate, biting the emperor on the side of his neck. Was this a rebellion?
Side couples include, but are not limited to:
Pure-hearted general x flirtatious Grand Tutor
Cold-faced but warm-hearted prison warden x soft, pampered young painter
Proud Left Chancellor x gentle Right Chancellor
Beautiful, tragic musician x spoiled guard
[Proceed with caution: multiple couples and an ensemble cast. The main couple may not get more page time than the side couples. The court politics are fake; the love story is real.]
[Side couples include, but are not limited to: a relationship that grows over time, coercion, enemies brought together by fate, love at first sight, and a reformed playboy. Everyone is in a one-on-one relationship. The tags “both pure” and “happy ending” apply only to the main couple; there are exceptions among the side couples.]
