Lan Ce's Twentieth Year

【Two Male Leads + Both Pure + Sweet First, Angsty Later + Bad Ending + No Winning Back the Wife, Only a Funeral Pyre】 Lan Ce was the darling young heir of the prince’s household, beloved by all. He was Prince Yu’s precious son, cherished like the apple of his father’s eye. His father feared he might drop him if he held him in his hands, or melt him if he held him in his mouth. The pampered young heir was thirteen when he accidentally drank the soup an enemy had poisoned for the prince. Several times, he hovered on the brink of death. At thirteen, his Grandmaster took him to the mountains for treatment. After spending several years together, Lan Ce developed feelings for him that he shouldn’t have had. At seventeen, he was sent back to the capital. In less than a year, his reputation as a spoiled, willful boy who had betrayed his teacher spread through every street and alley. At nineteen, he fell from the heights into the abyss. His father hated him, his master abandoned him, and they all wished him dead, his bones ground to dust and his soul condemned to eternal damnation. He didn’t want to die. He wanted to live. He struggled desperately and cried for help, wanting so badly to stay alive. But no one pitied him, no one loved him, and no one came to save him. On a snowy night before he turned twenty, he finally died, his body ravaged by illness, before his coming-of-age ceremony. After his death, no one remembered him, no one loved him, and everyone rejoiced.
