If you don’t like slow-burn romances, you can start at Chapter 43 without missing anything important to the plot. Don’t read just a dozen chapters and then leave, though; the leads interact a lot more later on.
[Two male leads, 1v1, both inexperienced, age gap, happy ending]
Prince Qi Zhaoyun x Marshal Lu Chenyuan
Silver hair and mismatched eyes (red hair and blue eyes) x red hair and gray eyes
Space opera / spirit forms / original worldbuilding / nontraditional story
Lu Chenyuan’s spirit form: a snake and vines. Qi Zhaoyun has no spirit form.
Both leads are adults.
The powerful Helte Empire is known for its crown prince, Qi Jingheng, but it also has a little prince few people know about.
Qi Zhaoyun was born premature and spent years in an incubator. He inherited the imperial family’s dark gold eyes and the striking blue eyes of the wealthy Su family, but he’s still a good-for-nothing with no spirit form.
Despite that, the little prince is doted on and has a strong heart. Now he’s going to conceal his identity and attend Imperial University. ◕‿◕
Lu Chenyuan is the empire’s marshal. The crown prince is his brother, and Lu himself is a genius with two spirit forms.
After the war ended, he took up a teaching post at Chixiao Military Academy. Then a red-haired boy just like him showed up.
Talented, but lazy and spoiled, and without a spirit form?!
Lu Chenyuan says that’s fine. Geniuses need polishing, and even without a spirit form, he can still shine in the military.
But when war breaks out, it’s that low-profile prince who goes to the battlefield, even though he hasn’t graduated from university yet!
A little everyone-dotes-on-him, Lu falls first, they marry right after graduation, ensemble cast
The author’s blurb is terrible, so please go straight to the story. If you don’t like slow-burn romances, start at Chapter 43. The love interest doesn’t appear much at first, but gets a lot more page time later.
For content warnings, see the author’s comment on the first paragraph.
The writing is very good but the plot is a bit too fast when listening to some parts.
The writing style is still so good [sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart]
