[Two male leads + one-on-one, both leads’ first love + younger man raised by his love interest + possessive pursuit + happy ending]
A flirtatious, carefree young aristocrat from the capital, the pursued × A hypocritical, restrained prince raised away from court, the pursuer
Everyone in the capital knows that Fang Yuxi, the legitimate son of Minister Fang, is a good-for-nothing playboy. Spoiled and domineering, he thinks far too highly of himself and won't let a speck of dust touch him.
Then one day, his father brought home a gaunt, taciturn boy and said he was an illegitimate younger brother who had been raised away from the family. His name was Wen Qi.
Fang Yuxi could only think how unlucky. How could a lowborn illegitimate son deserve to come into the house, take a share of his father's affection, and occupy his territory? He despised the timid boy from the bottom of his heart, making life difficult for him at every turn and looking for any excuse, openly or behind his back, to sell him off to some remote place where he would never have to see him again.
He had never once looked Wen Qi in the eye, and had no idea what forbearance and sharpness lay hidden in the boy's gaze.
Who could have guessed that the tides would turn and imperial power would change hands, transforming the illegitimate younger brother he had once pushed around into the Son of Heaven?
On the day of the enthronement, Wen Qi wore the imperial robes and fixed his gaze on Fang Yuxi, who had been dragged before the throne. His voice was cold and possessive:
“Didn't you always want to sell me off, Brother? Now let's see who dares take you in.”
The once-arrogant young master had become a prisoner, while the illegitimate younger brother he had treated like an insect used his supreme imperial authority to imprison him at his side.
This time, the roles of hunter and prey were completely reversed. Only then did Fang Yuxi realize that he had never understood his younger brother, and that he had long since become the sole prey in the trap Wen Qi had laid. There was no escape.
