[Two male leads + bottom lead + evenly matched leads + political intrigue + fictional setting + HE ending]
The protagonist is not perfect.
The once-gentle, refined emperor who later becomes cold and heartless, as the bottom lead × the steadfast top lead who cares only for him
When he was seven, Jiang Yushu said in Chengming Hall, “An emperor doesn’t need a reason to kill.” His grandfather kept him in the palace and raised him personally.
Thirteen years later, he became the most refined and dignified crown prince in the eyes of the entire court. He greeted everyone with a smile, never said more than he had to, and never argued with anyone. Everyone thought the prince was a pushover, until he left the capital at sixteen to inspect the canal transport system. Along the way, he investigated from Xingyang to Yangzhou, laying out the evidence against the deputy ministers of Revenue and Personnel, as well as the censors, piece by piece before the emperor.
Impeachment memorials poured into the imperial study like snowflakes, accusing him of “withholding canal grain, winning the people’s favor, and plotting treason.”
The censors knelt in rows in court, pointing at him and shouting, “The Crown Prince has colluded with the Hu and raised a private army. His crimes are unforgivable!”
A blue-eyed man stepped out from behind him, dressed in black and armed with a saber, his body covered in blood. Tucked against his chest was an account book containing enough evidence to bring down half the court.
Later, every official in the court learned one thing: the “Hu dog” at the Crown Prince’s side was untouchable. Whoever laid a hand on him would have their entire family crushed by the Crown Prince.
Much, much later...
“Your Majesty... I really can’t keep you warm...”
Jiang Yushu: “Oh.”
Someone, every day: So, he has to kill and lead troops by day, pour tea and fetch water, and then keep him warm at night...
[Please go easy on the political intrigue (ﾟ3ﾟ)~♪]
[The first volume focuses more on the plot!!! Don’t skip it just because there’s not much romance T﹏T]
I really like this kind of hidden emotional drama... I feel like it's a good story with great potential🥰. There is nothing to say about the plot, I hope it will get better and better in the future.
