[Two Male Leads + Both Reborn + Devoted to Each Other, Monogamous, Happy Ending + Light Discipline]
A pure-hearted, devoted bottom who bares his teeth to outsiders but lets his guard down at home × an arrogant queen of a top with an overwhelming need for control
Qi Mingyu × Xu Xi
Qi Mingyu was chosen by the emperor as a child to enter the palace and keep the princess company. He was also the intended prince consort.
After coming of age and leaving the palace, he secured an official post and was about to ask for the princess's hand in marriage. Just as everything was falling into place, news arrived that another country had invaded. With the nation in peril, he had no choice but to set aside his personal wishes and embrace a greater responsibility. But before he could return, he closed his eyes for the last time...
When he opened them again, Qi Mingyu discovered that he had been reborn!
All he wanted to do was howl at the heavens and demand an answer:
“Why is the gentle, dignified prince from my last life choking me and forcing me into sex now?!”
“Wait, wait, wait... The princess is a man!? What the hell! I found out on my wedding day that the wife I've loved for years is a man, and he's the one topping me? What kind of ridiculous story is this!”
“Why is this happening to me?!”
Later, even though Qi Mingyu was known as a playboy, no one invited him to visit brothels, listen to music, or carouse anymore. Everyone in the capital knew that the unruly princess in his household liked to wait at the gate with a long whip for him to come home! Young Master Qi was henpecked!
People gradually got used to the pairing of the unruly princess and the playboy young master. But as time went on, they began to feel that the story wasn't going the way they expected.
Can someone explain why the playboy is going off to fight the enemy, while the princess is killing his father and seizing the throne?!
I'm not great at writing blurbs, so please head straight to the story ˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶
