I'm the Protagonist's Secret Crush, His White Moonlight

Yun Xingwu lived for more than a decade before learning that he was a cannon-fodder character in a story, with only a few days left to live.

The protagonist was the Gu family's young general, the top-ranked military exam graduate of the empire, and the one responsible for his miserable death.

Yun Xingwu smiled. This could be interesting. :)

With a few tricks, Yun Xingwu crossed paths with the protagonist and became someone he could call a sworn brother.

Learning that the protagonist had an unattainable moonlight in his heart, Yun Xingwu offered him advice. "A good man can be won over if you pursue him. Keep showing up, pamper him and take care of him, and give him the finest treasures. How could he not fall for you?"

The protagonist believed him and scoured the land for the finest treasures. Unfortunately, he never managed to give them away, and they all ended up in Yun Xingwu's hands.

A rebellion broke out at the border. The Gu family was implicated, and the protagonist was exiled. Before he left, he looked at Yun Xingwu, his eyes red.

Yun Xingwu asked about his moonlight and offered to look after him, but the protagonist didn't trust him. He shook his head and refused to say anything.

After the protagonist left, Yun Xingwu continued living as a flirtatious young lord.

One day, curious about the charms of men, Yun Xingwu followed his friends to the pleasure quarter. After the door shut, the protagonist, who should have been in exile, suddenly appeared. His eyes red, he said, "If you want to try it, Yunlang, why not come to me?"

After the dynasty changed, the Gu family, once reduced to stray dogs, ascended the throne, and the protagonist rose to become Crown Prince.

All the noble houses awaited their reckoning. Yun Xingwu knew his cannon-fodder fate was coming and accepted it calmly.

But instead of the miserable ending he expected, he heard the protagonist confess his love.

Yun Xingwu: "?"

Realizing that he was the protagonist's unattainable moonlight, Yun Xingwu narrowed his eyes and slowly smiled.

"Want a kiss?" he said. "Then... get down on your knees and beg me."
