"As a solitary ruler, I know how to read the room like any solitary ruler should."
"You mean besides that murderous Ying Fu, there's another emperor? Is this a joke?"
"Three emperors? Three kingdoms standing against one another?"
"I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed!"
"Xiao Luoluo! Bite him!"
"My name is Xiao Yu. Xiao as in the bleak autumn wind, Yu as in jade. Why is my given name just one character, Yu? Because a flawed piece of jade is a king!"
"What makes you think you're fit to be mentioned in the same breath as me?"
Ying Fu: "You're so noisy..."
Xiao Yu: "So what if I'm noisy? I'm noisy at you! If you don't like it, suck it up."
Ying Fu: "Can't you be quiet for once?"
Xiao Yu: "My mouth is on my face, not yours. What business is it of yours whether I talk too much?"
Xiao Yu: "Xiao Luoluo~ Don't be so cold~ You've already passed my palace exam~"
Luo: "..." (What do I do about how noisy he is...)
"Join the Twilight Society? Can I cause trouble?" "Of course." "Great, I'm in, and I'm bringing Luoluo along!"
I'm no good at writing a synopsis, so read the story itself. Things may get a little rough early on, but it'll all work out. Angst first, sweetness later.
The protagonist is male, and Xiao Luoluo is male too. His name is just the single character Luo.
