   Reader note

   There are angst-filled stories, palace intrigue stories, and of course, most of them feature two male leads. I've read the manga of "The Mute Slave" and "The General's Order" several times, but haven't read many of the novels, though I've collected them. The angst-filled stories include one where the protagonist doesn't cherish his wife before her death and even suspects her of rebellion, but after her death, he cries his heart out and can't immediately commit suicide because the empire was something he had been protecting before his death. He prepares a successor and then commits suicide, only to be reborn and chase after his wife, risking his life to protect her... Hmm, there are also stories where the protagonist doesn't acknowledge his feelings because of the difference in their social status, and regrets it after his death. Oh, and there's my absolute favorite villain, described in the story as "beautiful, dangerous, sexy..." Ahhhhhh, I really love this villain who had to take the imperial examination to avoid being disliked! And then there's Lord Ma, who I never expected to cry so much, but in the end, he still won the beauty's heart, hehe.

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 the personal shadow guard has a different kind of feeling for him, a homosexual love 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. 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 such torment!" The love he dared not hope for had been 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 cannot withstand suspicion and hatred, so… [laughs][laughs]
