[Forced love × historical danmei, male-male leads × turning a straight man gay]
A lofty, aloof civil official gong × a vengeful military official shou
I hate how the bright moon hangs high, shining on everyone but me.
A severe drought in Longyou brought Jian Zhaowei to Chang'an, where he met both the eldest prince, Li Zhengming, and the heaven-blessed prodigy Pei Qingyan.
Li Zhengming offered Jian Zhaowei a pastry and a kindness.
Pei Qingyan, however, met him with harsh, cruel prejudice.
For years afterward, the two were at odds.
*
As factional strife intensified, the emperor demanded that Pei Yan propose a way to curb the growing power of the eldest prince's faction.
Pei Yan: Your Majesty, why not arrange a marriage for Jian Zhaowei?
Emperor: Oh? But if I marry him to a woman from one of Chang'an's great families, won't that only make his faction stronger?
Pei Yan: No. I mean a marriage between your humble servant and Jian Zhaowei.
The emperor was stunned.
Though Great Qian was open-minded, it had not yet reached the point of allowing men to marry men!
But a moment later, the emperor understood.
Pei Yan's Left Chancellor faction represented the emperor, the Right Chancellor faction represented the third prince, and Jian Zhaowei was the pillar of the eldest prince's faction.
If Pei Yan and Jian Zhaowei were joined in marriage, it would undoubtedly be the best way to split the eldest prince's faction.
At court the next morning, an imperial edict sent the assembled officials into an uproar!
The young God of War was being ordered to marry his political enemy, who was also a man?!
Jian Zhaowei felt as if the emperor had slapped him in front of everyone.
Later
Pei Yan wished they might grow old together, but when it came time to bow to each other as newlyweds, Jian Zhaowei refused to bend.
*
From then on, everyone at court knew Pei Yan was devoted to Jian Zhaowei, and their glances at the two of them were always laden with meaning.
Jian Zhaowei was utterly terrified of Pei Yan. Whenever they crossed paths, he chose to take the long way around.
But how could Pei Yan let him have his way?
He was determined to pursue him relentlessly.
#A forced melon may not be sweet, but it quenches your thirst#
The political intrigue is light; the romance takes center stage.
I feel so comfortable reading this ancient novel. I really like the author's portrayal of Zhao Wei 😳 The young general Zhao Wei pokes me so hard 😳 The other characters are also well created 😘 The emotional and plot lines are both super well written. Come on, author!
I simply felt the emotional progress between the two, and unknowingly started to care about it, so I felt a little bit relieved. In the beginning, I was not worthy of Xiao Yan. As the plot developed, I found that this was reasonable. After all, he is a straight man. Then again, once a straight man falls in love, it will only be that person, regardless of gender, which is even better. I really want to see how happy you two will be together in the end. The details in this book are very unique and different from other compulsory books, because it starts with love, not possession.
It's really super good-looking, with exciting content and clear logic. I particularly like the two characters Pei Yan and Jian Zhaowei, but I personally prefer Pei Yan [Admiration]. Come on, author, I will always support you! 😘💕
It's very interesting [Admiration] DaDa's writing style is also excellent. I hope DaDa can write more, 😙 Pei Jian has a long life ahead of her
When will it be finished? It's so refreshing. Xiao Pei was really humble in the early stage. It made my heart hurt but the pain made me feel so happy. I haven't finished it yet. I hope Xiao Jane will not fall in love with him much less than Xiao Pei later. Love each other fiercely, okay?
I think this book is a very good one, keep up the good work!!!! The writing is very good
It's very beautiful. The forced love is like a fairy tale. I will update it quickly. I want to see them get married.
The plot is okay, and the writing is okay, but it always makes up some irrelevant plot points to make up the word count.
It looks good, it looks good, it will be updated soon [The God of Bird Food] [The God of Bird Food] [The God of Bird Food] [The God of Bird Food]
