[Dual Male Leads, a Defiant Prince vs. a Cool Beauty, Slow-Build Romance]
No one knows that Shen Yunzhuo, the aloof and proud Director of Studies, hides an unspeakable secret deep in his heart.
In the middle of the night, as he tosses and turns, all he can think of is Xue Du, the Prince of Dingbei.
The Black Fiend, who has killed countless people, was once a ray of light that broke through the darkness for him.
He loves Xue Du so much that he has become obsessed, nearly mad.
But Xue Du doesn't love men, and Shen Yunzhuo doesn't even dare to voice his secret love.
He thought he would have to keep his shameful feelings to himself and gaze at the moon from afar. Then Xue Du was poisoned and became a foolish invalid.
Just then, an imperial decree ordered the Shen family to send a daughter in marriage.
Shen Yunzhuo's heart stirred, and he disguised himself as a woman to marry in his sister's place.
For three years of marriage, he devotedly stayed by the side of the man he loved, now a fool, watching the sun rise and set and the seasons pass.
He had hoped they would spend their whole lives that way. But one day, the fool was a fool no longer.
Shen Yunzhuo could only pretend it had all been a beautiful dream. Now that he was awake, it was only right to step aside.
*
After being poisoned and reduced to a fool, Xue Du, the Prince of Dingbei, spent three years lost in a dream.
When he awoke, he had forgotten the past, but vaguely remembered someone who had never left his side.
His deep feelings for that person must be etched into his bones, never to be forgotten.
But why is the "princess consort" before him so different from the one in his memories?
She rejects his advances and resists his embrace.
At night, she avoids him like the plague, coming up with eight thousand excuses to keep him away.
How strange. She used to love him more than anyone.
He respects his wife and is willing to give her some time.
Until one day, he runs into a man.
Tall and graceful, refined and handsome, the man makes him fall at first sight.
The brash, arrogant Prince of Dingbei realizes he's done for.
It seems he's developed feelings for a man that he shouldn't have.
What a delicious premise! But can they please recognize each other soon? 😢 One doesn't know, and the other keeps it hidden in their heart, it's so heartbreaking to watch. 😢😢😢
Author, please come back! I can't eat or sleep if you don't update! I really want to know what happens next. Please don't abandon this story, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you! Please come back! I finally found a book that suits my taste so well, it's such a shame to lose it. Please don't abandon it! As long as you come back and update, I'll keep following it.
I rarely rate or comment, but this one is really good. I caught up in just three hours. It has a subtle bittersweet feeling, not too angsty, but you can taste the bitterness if you read carefully. In short, it's very good! [Learned][Learned] I'm following it now, and I hope it doesn't... Well, turn into a runaway horse and have a bad ending. Love you, author! [Full][Full] 🍉🍉
The descriptions of the young couple are especially adorable! Our little Shen is so cute too! I really love this book, definitely worth reading. The romance is beautifully portrayed, and the characters are very well-developed and three-dimensional. I read it last night and wrote this review this morning. It's simple and easy to understand. There are also quite a few principles of governance (although I'm historically illiterate, I still found them a bit confusing). Everyone should read it!
The writing is very good; you can tell the author was extremely careful. Online controversies are most damaging to novel authors! 🤦
It's caught up. The writing is good, the tension is well-handled, and although the romance is slow and the truth hasn't been revealed yet, the two have a lot of contact and their interactions are very enjoyable. The plot is slow-paced and leans towards everyday life. The main characters are all quite righteous, which is great. The writing is good, but the updates seem a bit slow.
Teacher, it's been two months already 😢 When will you come back? It's really good, one of the few books I could get into and finish reading when I was in a reading slump. Teacher, I'm waiting for you to come back, please don't give up 😢😢😢
I think it's absolutely fantastic! The tension between the two main characters is so captivating! One is torn between lovers unable to acknowledge their love, while the other believes he's violated ethical boundaries. In short, it's incredibly good!!! The only downside is that the author updates too slowly! I hope the author can update more frequently so I can feast my eyes on it! 😆
The aloof and cold Director of Studies, Shen Yunzhuo, appears to be an unattainable beauty, but deep down he harbors a secret obsession with Prince Dingbei, Xue Du. Xue Du, perceived by others as foolish, is in reality a fierce tiger hiding his true strength. The two of them must quickly confess their feelings; their love must be sweet and happy. I especially love their characters; it's a great read. The author's writing is excellent; keep it up! I hope the author updates frequently! 😳😘
I hope for an update soon. When will the prince be able to recall his memories?
