Name: The Sickly Eunuch Lord Has Little Time Left
Author: Chao Ning Mu Qing

Synopsis

[Male-male romance + sickly pursuer + eleven-year age gap + amnesia + faked death + real eunuch + beautiful, strong, tragic characters]

Ruthless, beautiful, frail chief eunuch pursuer X sinister, obsessive, pretending-to-be-obedient cold-palace prince recipient

Also known as: The Great Liang Emperor’s Quest to Win Back His Husband: Where Did My Favorite Eunuch Go?

Great Liang has two great wonders. The first is Wei Heng, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Lord in the Jingxin Garden, so ill he seems ready to fall apart, yet capable of playing the court officials like pieces on a board. Even in a bloodstained blue robe, he is as beautiful as a painting. The second is Shen Ci'an, a prince raised on dew in the cold palace, whose glower could freeze a man to death, yet who willingly falls for Wei Heng’s schemes.

At first, each has his own agenda. Wei Heng wants to use Shen Ci'an as a chess piece, and Shen Ci'an wants to borrow Wei Heng’s power. They scheme against each other in the political arena, and somehow find themselves in an ambiguous relationship along the way. When Wei Heng coughs blood, Shen Ci'an’s hand trembles as he offers him medicine. When Shen Ci'an is bullied, Wei Heng smiles pleasantly and makes the offenders disappear.

But later, Shen Ci'an comes to hate Wei Heng with all his heart.

Then Shen Ci'an ascends the throne and personally serves Wei Heng a cup of poison. As the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Lord dies, tears spill from his smile. “Shen Ci'an, I’m sorry.”

And then the Emperor of Great Liang goes mad.

He remains mad for five whole years.

Until one day, in Jiangnan, he comes across a sickly beauty selling calligraphy and paintings at a roadside stall. The man looks just like Wei Heng, except he looks at Shen Ci'an like he’s insane.

“Who are you?” the beauty asks between coughs.

Shen Ci'an’s eyes gleam as he drops to his knees on the spot. “I’m your husband! Come home with me and inherit the throne… No, wait, inherit me!”

The amnesiac former Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Lord: “???” This guy doesn’t seem too bright.

(The political plot is terrible.) (Great Liang)

BL, Powerful Ministers, the World Is in My Hands

I want something similar to Marrying the Farmer Tyrant as His Contract Brother. He rises step by step through the imperial examinations, originally hoping to live a good life, but the powerful toy with him. In the end, he becomes a powerful minister, while the people above him can be replaced at will. A satisfying power fantasy, and preferably with no angst in the romance. I am practically dying to read something like this. Please, someone...
