Devoted Emperor x Tsundere Chancellor, 1v1, both each other's first and only
The romance is very sweet, though there is angst.
“Jingping, I was wrong.”
In the middle of the night, pleas for forgiveness rang out from the Chancellor's residence.
By day, the mighty Emperor of Tiansheng could casually order the deaths of hundreds or thousands in the grand hall. At night, he dared not make too much noise, and could only quietly plead with the Chancellor inside.
“Jingping, I promise I won't do it again.”
The servants were long used to this. One by one, they lowered their heads and tried to make themselves scarce.
Whenever Zhao Juran was thrown out, he shamelessly stayed outside the door, apologizing and begging forgiveness again and again until he was allowed back in. He couldn't even wait until morning. The person inside suffered from a chill condition, and a hand warmer could only keep him warm for a little while on a winter night. A living man like Zhao Juran was worth ten hand warmers, keeping the bed warm all night. He had also spoiled the Chancellor so thoroughly that he couldn't sleep unless he was in Zhao Juran's arms. Zhao Juran couldn't bear for his precious darling to suffer even the slightest discomfort.
Jingping: “Explain this to me. Why do I have a chill condition?”
The Emperor: “I was wrong. Don't be angry. Come here, let me warm you up.”
