CP: Xiao Yunchen (pale-skinned, broad-chested, nurturing eunuch top) × Yang Junxi (handsome student athlete who transmigrates as the emperor's adopted son)
Sweet transmigration romance, marriage before love, one-on-one, happy ending.
Pale-skinned, broad-chested, nurturing eunuch top × timid Central Plains prince who loves to flirt.
Yang Junxi transmigrates by accident and wakes up as the emperor's newly adopted son.
Before he can enjoy his luxurious new life for even a few days, an imperial decree sends him off to marry a eunuch named Arslan.
Rumor has it Xiao Yunchen is cruel and brutal.
Yang Junxi tucks a dagger away and plans to run as soon as he arrives in the bridal sedan.
But then he meets the man: pale skin, broad chest, wide shoulders, long legs, and strong enough to pick him up with one hand. Yet he doesn't kill or imprison him. Instead, he makes him milk tea every day, sews him a leather robe, warms his bed, and wraps him in his arms at night, murmuring, "Why is the little prince from the Central Plains so delicate?"
Yang Junxi: "...I thought you were supposed to be terrifying?"
Later, he doesn't want to run away anymore.
Later still, the emperor of the Central Plains sends people to bring him back to court.
With red-rimmed eyes, Xiao Yunchen pins him against the tent. "You dare leave?"
Yang Junxi: "I'm not going, I'm not going! Just let go first. Your chest is too hard, my legs are going weak."
Bonus scene:
Yang Junxi only caught a chill, but Xiao Yunchen panicked, slaughtering three sheep and brewing eighteen bowls of tonic soup.
Yang Junxi: "I really just caught a little wind..."
Xiao Yunchen pins him to his chest. "Good boy, stay close and sweat it out."
Smothered by that broad chest, Yang Junxi can barely breathe. "...Are you trying to murder your own husband?!"
