Two powerful leads / two men / lighthearted / funny / happy ending
A seemingly foolish but secretly brilliant shadow guard seme × an emotionally dense prince uke who hides his tendency to cry
He is the light: Xiao Jingyan, a lazy prince who only wants to retire to the countryside.
He is the shadow: Xuan Qi, a shadow guard pretending to be cold and heartless.
The entire court thinks Xiao Jingyan is a hopeless fool. The emperor favors him, but he avoids the attention, terrified the throne might fall into his lap.
No one can figure out what he really wants. Until one day, he pins his shadow guard against a wall and murmurs with a soft laugh, “What I've always wanted isn't any of that. It's…” The shadow guard takes a step back. “Understood. I'll go kill them at once.”
When the shadow develops feelings for the light, flowers quietly bloom along this thorny path.
Side couples:
A cold, insecure, obsessive crown prince × a shadow guard who secretly loves him but dares not say so
Even when I'm about to kill you, I still think your eyes are beautiful.
When you say you hate me, do you also hate the person you used to be when you were by my side?
A top scholar who knows the other man likes him and shamelessly teases him × a jealous, hot-tempered general who throws things and acts like a wronged, flirtatious little wolf
No one knows a former companion better than the one who once shared his pillow.
You promised of your own accord to give yourself to me. Are you going to break your promise?
If I can only choose between my lover and my future, can I choose my lover's future?
It's quite good to watch, and the plot is very compact! I just bought a couple from the vice cpbe, both of them are from little bitter gourds, which makes people feel sour when they see them. It's very interesting, and the way the story is told is quite different.
