Two Male Leads / Historical Romance / Childhood Sweethearts / Older Man, Younger Man / Bickering Couple / Political Intrigue
Yang Zhen was the biggest young master in Xun'an City.
By day, he beat people up; by night, he went drinking at brothels. Even when the Supervisory Office for Academics arrested him in the street, he could stand in court and leave the officers speechless.
After six years apart, Shen Yan returned as an official of Xun'an Prefecture, in charge of keeping the capital's students in line. In other words, in charge of him.
The first thing Shen Yan did after returning to the capital was pin Yang Zhen down in the interrogation hall and give him twenty strokes of the cane.
Yang Zhen lay on the couch, wailing that he wanted to become a monk. His grandmother held him and soothed him: "An older brother beating his younger brother is only natural."
The one who beat him was Shen Yan. The one who took him home was Shen Yan. The one who said nothing to him from the other side of the wall was also Shen Yan.
And the boots Shen Yan wore were still decorated with the two turquoise stones Yang Zhen had given him.
