   You could try these three books. The first one has two male leads who aren't emperors. The second one has an emperor as the seme, which is alright, and a assassin as the uke, plus a Gu King. It's a modern-day time-travel story with past and present lives (this part might be a surprise). The third one has a seme who is reborn and a uke who is a time traveler. It's quite good, though I've forgotten the specific plot, but it's very enjoyable. All three are pure sweet romance novels.

   ① Yan Yan is a fragrant and soft little cake. The author's writing is good, with many plot twists and turns, and the descriptions are delicate and vivid. The main character is very appealing!! I highly recommend everyone to read it!!! ② The characters are very well-developed, the plot is intricately linked, and the emotional changes and transitions of each character are very natural, not particularly forced. There's a little bit of angst, and there's sweetness too, but not much. This book is different from those that force angst; I can empathize with the characters. I love it! (✪▽✪)!!
