He had his "white moonlight," and she had her childhood sweetheart with whom she had deep feelings. In this marriage between equally powerful families, neither was willing to back down first. * When Zhan Nanpei and Li Qianqian had just divorced, someone asked him, "You just divorced like that? No regrets?" He was dressed in black, hands in his pockets, "It was a business marriage, so there's no question of regrets." Having lived for over twenty years, proud as he was, he was a backup option. Ten thousand meters in the air, on a private jet. The usually restrained and stoic man kissed her again and again, his eyes red, his voice hoarse, "Wife, marry me again, okay?" * After giving birth to her second child, Li Qianqian flew twice a year to maintain her license. Zhan Nanpei, now the chairman of Yunting, would wait for his wife at the airport every time she got off work. The plane encountered severe weather and violent turbulence. Passengers shouted "Help!"

The protagonist (shou) was half-dead for many years in the early part of the story, and the other protagonist (gong) voluntarily became a medicine man to save him, but he didn't know this at the beginning... There is mpreg, please avoid this. It's sweet about a prince and a shadow guard. The other protagonist (gong) loves the protagonist very much and is an excellent man, but the difference in their social status is huge, so the other protagonist is very inferior [smile]. A devoted shadow guard with explosive martial arts skills as the gong, and a proud, suspicious, and handsome prince as the shou [shy]. The half-dead Prince Ye, He Junyan, has someone he can be proud of by his side, namely his personal shadow guard. As long as it is something he orders, no matter how big or small, he can complete it excellently, even to the extreme. The personal shadow guard also has superb martial arts skills. It can be said that there are only a few people in the world who can fight him to a draw. He is simply the ceiling of shadow guards. However, what he doesn't know is that his personal shadow guard has a different kind of feeling for him, a homosexual relationship that is not allowed by the world. Years of close companionship, coupled with the Shadow Guard's exceptional talent, intensified He Junyan's possessiveness. He wanted to arrange the Shadow Guard's marriage because 'Achen' was his. However, he recently discovered something was amiss with the Shadow Guard; he had lied to him, more than once. This was unacceptable to He Junyan.
