Pampered by a Younger Lover, Imprisoned by an Older One, Yet I’m the Villain

[Historical BL martial arts + revenge and political intrigue + a straight-man heartthrob adored by everyone + romantic rival showdown + Why bother with romance when a career is so much better? + HE]

A seemingly pure but secretly dark blind zither player on the receiving end × a sinister, twisted regent / a crazed, fiercely loyal number-one swordsman on the pursuing end (the others aren't worth mentioning...)

I want the martial world, and I want the throne. I want the slander from back then to come true, word for word.

Duan Tingyu became famous throughout Yongjing for one song on the yaoqin. He was ambitious and wanted plenty. He was bold, too, willing to use anyone, whether it was the martial world's prodigy, Young Master Xie, or the powerful court official, Prince Jun.

He had a face that could bring ruin to a kingdom. He wasn't gay, but he didn't mind making good use of his looks to get what he wanted.

The process doesn't matter. What difference does it make whether they're men or women?

Jun Yu (darkly): Quite the talent. You used me, so you'll have to pay the price.

Xie Wuwang (sniffling): What? You don't like me? Brother, you didn't say that before~~

Duan Tingyu: Get the hell away from me!
