[Two male leads + older man/younger man + one-on-one romance + love and hate + sweet and angsty + a touch of court intrigue]
[Dark, cunning playboy heir × gloomy male favorite of the Prime Minister]
Wen Ci is the Prime Minister’s favorite male companion, but he doesn’t want to live anymore.
He has planned the perfect death for himself, only to be rescued by Jiang Shuyi, a dissolute young noble from a marquis household.
Jiang Shuyi pretends to fall in love with him at first sight, but secretly uses him as a pawn in his scheme. Wen Ci plays along, then turns the tables and sends Jiang Shuyi to the imperial prison.
In the prison, Jiang Shuyi grips Wen Ci by the throat, his eyes red-rimmed. “A Ci, why?! I don’t believe it!”
Wen Ci drives a knife into Jiang Shuyi’s abdomen, his own heart aching with pain. “Do you believe me now?”
Later, Wen Ci flees to the border, but leaves his heart behind in the capital.
Jiang Shuyi pursues him a thousand miles. “A Ci, don’t leave me.”
