Mainly from the seme's perspective / Court intrigue / Freedom-loving, unpredictable seme / Pampered seme
After the late emperor's death, the young prince Tuoba Wenxi wanders the common folk to escape being killed, disguising himself as Xuanxuanzi, a little Daoist priest who spouts mystical nonsense.
One day, he happens upon the ancient demon Jiu Ying sealed in the forest and frees it with his imperial dragon's blood.
Over time, Xuanxuanzi and Jiu Ying, who takes human form, develop a delicate relationship: the former thinks they're friends, while the latter thinks they're lovers...
Xuanxuanzi, who prizes his freedom, once tells Jiu Ying that he'll always be the happy Xuanxuanzi, and that he'll stay right here with it until they grow old.
Mistaking this for a vow of eternal love, Jiu Ying gives him its heart, only for the seme to disappear soon after...
That's right, Tuoba Wenxi is forced to help his once-closest imperial brother, Tuoba Xuanyuan, fight for the throne. He ends up the emperor's favorite younger brother and one of the most exalted people in the land.
Then one day, he suddenly runs into Jiu Ying, now in human form and serving as a great general, who returns in a fit of rage to "make the scumbag pay."
Jiu Ying: That's right, I'm taking back everything that's mine! (furious)
Tuoba Wenxi: General, spare me~
From then on, the carefree little Daoist is still trapped in the mire of power, eventually becoming the youngest regent of Great Wei.

TIPS:
1. The court and political intrigue take center stage, with little fantasy. Just know that the uke is invincible (the seme's cheat).
2. The seme deeply loves and respects his elder brother. Their bond is truly brotherly, with no romance between them. The seme and uke are exclusive.
3. An extreme case of seme control; weak in bed. Includes face-sitting and sex with the uke's anus, primarily the former.
