“Remember this: here in the Eastern Palace, my word is the law. If you behave, I’ll treat you well. If you don’t, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
“...Yes, this marquis understands.”
Xiao Jingyao had once been an honorable, upright man. But fate had other plans, and now he had no choice but to submit to the Crown Prince, Wen Yan, at every turn, reduced to a canary in the Eastern Palace.
Whether he is true love or merely a substitute, fate has cruelly toyed with him. How could he ever escape Wen Yan’s clutches?
Main couple: Wen Yan, a domineering, wickedly charming, twisted Crown Prince with overwhelming possessiveness, as the gong × Xiao Jingyao, a marquis who seems gentle but is stubborn at heart and loves courting death and stirring up trouble, as the shou
Side couple 1: A debonair, seductive beauty of a young master as the gong × A capricious, obsessive, patient, and ruthless eunuch as the shou
Side couple 2: A perpetually grumpy guard as the gong × A perpetually clueless guard as the shou
1v1, mutually devoted, happy ending, the gong isn’t a scumbag, the shou isn’t pathetic, and it’s not angsty at all. There’s a plot, too. Trust me, no arguing! QAQ
