    Two male leads. The protagonist (shou) was half-dead for many years in the early stages, and the other male lead (gong) voluntarily became a medicine human 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 male lead loves the protagonist very much and is an exceptionally good man, but due to the large gap in their social status, he is very insecure. 🙂 A devoted shadow guard with explosive martial arts skills, the other male lead is a handsome, arrogant, and suspicious prince. 😳 The half-dead Prince Ye, He Junyan, has someone he can be proud of by his side: his personal shadow guard. Whatever he orders, no matter how small, he completes it flawlessly, even to an extreme degree. The shadow guard also possesses superb martial arts skills; it can be said that only a few people in the world can fight him to a draw, making him the pinnacle of shadow guards. However, what he doesn't know is that his personal shadow guard harbors special feelings for him—a homosexual relationship that is unacceptable to 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 cherish most, He Junyan, suffer such torment!" 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 happy ending, so he cherished the time spent with his master. But even the strongest feelings cannot withstand suspicion and hatred, so…

However, the system in the first book isn't very useful; it goes dormant later on. The system in the third book is quite useful, but most of the time it relies on the protagonist. You can just rush through them without thinking, especially the second one, which is amazing.
