    Written with excellent prose and high intelligence, this is a traditional ancient Chinese romance novel with two male leads. It features a sweet and doting romance, heart-wrenching moments, two strong leads, a slow-witted protagonist, a power struggle, and a story of a pure-hearted, doting emperor (bottom) versus a stunningly handsome, cold-blooded bodyguard (top). Li Mi's intense love for Qing Yue is like the midday sun, with an incredibly strong possessive streak. Qing Yue's love is like a handful of moonlight, silent yet omnipresent. Synopsis: The male lead, Qing Yue, suffered the ravages of war in his childhood, losing his entire family. He was rescued in the snow by Prince Ouyang Xiawen. Growing up, Qing Yue secretly loved the refined emperor who showered him with love, but was sent by the emperor to infiltrate the Duan Prince's mansion, becoming the male concubine of the young prince, Li Mi. To love without being able to is regrettable, but to love and be used for pity is even worse! Heartbroken, Qing Yue is redeemed by Li Mi's passionate love, but his status as a male concubine suppresses his yearning for freedom. One escape could lead to a change of dynasty; another could result in bloodshed. Love is difficult, and so is keeping it. What should Qingyue do?

What do listening and surveillance devices have to do with your fabricated stories?!" Xiao Shanxun wiggled his hips, his face full of disdain. "Can you find them?" Cui Mu's eyelids slightly opened, and he asked softly. Xiao Shanxun looked around but didn't see anything unusual. He fixed his questioning gaze on Cui Mu's face. "Take a look under the sofa you're sitting on." Cui Mu still had his eyes half-closed. Xiao Shanxun stood up hesitantly and laid the sofa down. The sofa was large and heavy, made of antique wood. The sofa was lined with a layer of fabric, but other than that, there was nothing unusual. Xiao Shanxun was somewhat dissatisfied. From this man's rambling nonsense to ordering him to move such a heavy sofa, he felt like he was being mocked. Just then, Trium opened his eyes and pointed to a spot, saying, "Open that up, open it up!" He did as Trium instructed, using his fingers to pry open a small hole in the fabric. Through the hole, he saw a black box the size of an egg inside, its red light blinking. Xiao Shanxun was stunned. Trium, however, smiled and gestured for him to flip the sofa back over and put it back in its original position.

    Reader note

    This is a niche historical romance novel, initially perceived as a typical rebirth/domestic power struggle story, but it's completely different. The author uses the Northern Song Dynasty as a backdrop to create an incredibly realistic political landscape, employing skillful writing and seamlessly integrating poetry. The plot is intricately woven, and the ensemble cast is captivating. While I initially thought I was reading about palace intrigue and family feuds, the clues were subtly planted throughout. Only after witnessing the later plot twists did I understand the profound meaning behind all the foreshadowing. It has a powerful impact, prompting me to reread it, each time offering new insights. For those seeking depth rather than immediate gratification, this is a must-read.
