The protagonist (shou) was half-dead for many years in the early stages, and the other protagonist (gong) voluntarily became a medicine man to save him, though he didn't know this at the time... There is mpreg, please avoid if you are a fan. Sweet story of a prince and his shadow guard. The other protagonist (gong) loves the protagonist very much and is an exceptionally good man, but the difference in their social status makes him very insecure [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, his personal shadow guard.

The personal shadow guard also has superb martial arts skills, and it can be said that only a few people in the world can fight him to a draw, making him the ceiling among shadow guards. However, what he doesn't know is that his personal shadow guard has special feelings 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, recently he discovered something was wrong with the Shadow Guard; he had lied to him, more than once. This was unacceptable to He Junyan. But what he didn't expect was that the lie, once exposed, revealed a heart-wrenching identity: a 'medicine man'! Feelings surged within him, and he finally understood his own heart. "How can the person I, He Junyan, cherish most suffer like this!" The love he dared not hope for was reciprocated—something Ye Chen had never even dreamed of. However, bound by his status and societal norms, he knew this love wouldn't have a good ending, so he cherished the time spent with his master. But even the strongest feelings couldn't withstand suspicion and hatred, so… [sad][making a face][about to cry][vomit][sad]

    The writing is absolutely superb!!! Even though he was once covered in bruises, trembling in pain, wishing for death but unable to, a nightmare of being pointed at and gossiped about from a high platform, the moment he met you, it was like the moon setting and the sun rising high. Through mountains and rivers, through burning despair, you were the ray of hope and the ecstatic joy of finding life in the darkest of times. The east wind was cruel, the joy fleeting, a heart full of sorrow, a promise of separation, he thought that death and parting would only bring empty grief. Who knew, Penglai Mountain was near, a letter arrived, the mirror remained unbroken, a proud plum blossom in the snow. One glance pierced his heart. "Bian Chonghua, I love you." Seven words, truly and clearly, like the south wind that stirred his heart, crossing mountains and seas, after years of separation, he finally fell into your arms. All the pain, the love, the longing, the cruel twists of fate—he remembered it all. Those broken letters, faded paper, burned silk, lovesickness, and untold stories of the past. He remembered everything.

    Reader note

    The two have known each other for over ten years, going from mutual dislike to mutual trust. The bodyguard likes his master but doesn't dare to touch him until the other's older brother personally intervenes and becomes his wingman. After they successfully get together, their relationship is so sweet it's almost sickening. The pacing might be a bit slow in the beginning, but it really picks up speed later on (after chapter 55).
