    The entire story is intellectually stimulating, there's no struggle for the throne, and the crown prince is simply the crown prince. Furthermore, there's no romantic pairing; it seems only the eldest prince has a one-sided crush on the other.

    The first four fanfictions are all at the level of Saints from Warhammer 1, 2, and 3. The fourth one, "The Marshal's Kindness Is Never Gone!" 🥰 The fifth one, "Lu Tai Sui's Personal Charisma," is amazing! 👍🏻 The sixth one has two male leads but no romantic pairing.
