[Beautiful, optimistic "little bunny" bottom] x [Feudal patriarch, gloomy "big bad wolf" top]
Everyone said that Regent Yan Huaijin was cold-blooded and unfeeling, with a volatile and unpredictable temperament.
Men's romance was all the rage in the Xia Dynasty, and the emperor's excesses had plunged the realm into chaos. Yan Huaijin fought his way from the northern border to the capital, put a new emperor on the throne, and gained power over the entire court.
He lowered taxes, reopened the imperial examinations, and recruited scholars from humble backgrounds throughout the realm.
For the first time, the Imperial College also admitted students from humble families.
Less than ten days after the semester began, word quietly spread around the college that a beauty had joined the new class.
With lips like vermilion, pearly teeth, and bright eyes, he was even prettier than the capital's number-one beauty.
Once they learned that his father held a low-ranking post, more than a few people began making plans.
Ten years after transmigrating, Xie Zhao had been a well-behaved child all his life. He had studied hard and kept a low profile after entering the Imperial College.
Until one day, a classmate he'd befriended tried to force him into a relationship.
Xie Zhao was horrified and fell seriously ill from the ordeal. Fortunately, he'd secretly gotten to know one of the guards serving the regent.
He went to him for help, not knowing that he was walking straight into an even bigger wolf's den.
Yan Huaijin had held power for years and stood at the very peak of influence. Men and women alike flocked to throw themselves at him, and he was thoroughly sick of them.
He hadn't expected the pretty young man he saw at the Imperial College to be so unexpectedly alluring.
The little fellow was so silly, he thought Yan Huaijin was just one of the regent's guards.
Yan Huaijin found it amusing. He'd only meant to keep him as a little pet, but ended up falling for him first.
A little something nice to eat:
"I'm not sleeping with you!" Xie Zhao's eyes were red and wet.
"Zhaozhao, you're so stingy." Yan Huaijin smiled carelessly, his fingertips stroking the soft skin of Xie Zhao's cheek. "I got rid of those eyesores for you."
He pressed his nose to the side of Xie Zhao's neck and inhaled softly.
Smack! Xie Zhao slapped him.
But the moment he realized how powerful Yan Huaijin was, his whole body started trembling.
The beauty in his arms had fluttering lashes and alluring red at the corners of his eyes. He was truly a pitiful sight.
Yan Huaijin was not angry. Instead, he slowly lifted the hand that had struck him and covered it with tiny kisses.
"Poor little thing, were they bullying you and leaving you with nothing to eat?"
"You don't even have the strength to hit anyone." He lifted his eyes, his gaze so deep it could nearly swallow a person whole.
"Come with me. I'll treat you to something nice."
