The Prodigy's Husband Rescue Plan
Ji Changgui is a modern-day college guy with an intense aversion to homosexuality. One day, he transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a spoiled wastrel who shares the same aversion, but is also cruel and violent, and has been abandoned by his family. That would be bad enough.
But the emperor has arranged a marriage for him, and he's getting a wife for free.
A man.
They say his wife is quite extraordinary. He was once a brilliant young prodigy of the Chancellor's household, admired by all for his elegance. At five, his talent could move the spirits; at ten, he amazed the world.
At sixteen, he passed the imperial examinations and won third place in the palace examination. His graceful good looks inspired the entire capital to dress in white and tie up their hair, hoping to look even a little like Young Master Shen.
However, ancient society did a terrible job of protecting the country's talents. This heaven-sent prodigy was struck by a strange poison, blinded, and left with difficulty walking. A rising star who had once been the focus of everyone's attention at court was reduced to a useless invalid who had to ask someone to carry him just to relieve himself at night.
People are fickle, and prodigies are no exception. So his stepmother and half-siblings from the Chancellor's household ganged up and shoved him onto this pile of trash, hoping Ji Changgui would crush the last of this proud flower's dignity.
Ji Changgui laughed.
It didn't matter if his wife was built the same way he was. Could a man like him really stand by while others bullied his wife?
Whatever Shen Yunyi had lost, he'd take back for him.

Later, unofficial stories spread that the Chancellor truly lived up to his reputation as a prodigy, mastering the secrets of the bedchamber and curing the emperor's "homophobia" with a wave of his hand. It was also said that he was pathologically jealous, keeping the emperor firmly by his side in bed and leaving the imperial harem empty, never taking another consort.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, two figures overlapped on the dragon throne. The white-robed Chancellor sneered at the rumor. "I'm jealous?"
The current emperor, gently massaging the sore waist of the person in his arms, sighed. "Back in my hometown, there's an old saying: 'One husband, one wife, one heart, one mind.' If you marry two wives, at best you'll be made to kneel on an abacus. At worst, you'll be thrown into a pig cage."
He leaned down, his breath brushing the Chancellor's reddened ear.
"So it's not my Chancellor who's jealous. It's me..."
"Once I've set my heart on someone, they're the only one I can see."
1. One-on-one, both leads are each other's first. The pursuer transmigrates into the body of someone who was also inexperienced. The love interest's eyes and frail health will both recover.
2. A supposedly straight, shamelessly devoted, scheming emperor pursuer × a cool, sickly, beautiful and tragic queen-like love interest.
3. The love interest gets a lot of description. The pursuer is shamelessly devoted, so cut him some slack.
