The Lotus Gatherer Was Gathered by the King of the North

[Multi-Channel] Liu Wu x Xiao Le (Bai Zhe) Liu Wu grew up in Lotus Town, making a living by gathering lotus seeds. He had a face as lovely and pure as a snow-white Guanyin, and his refined beauty captivated many men and women, who secretly coveted and admired him. One day, he found an injured man on the bank of a lotus pond. The man was tall, with striking features, and seemed unlike anyone from these parts. Liu Wu brought him home to treat his wounds. Since he hadn't sold any lotus seeds that day, he named the man Bai Zhe. Bai Zhe had lost his memory and didn't know where he came from, but he offered to help Liu Wu with strenuous chores in exchange for a place to stay. Liu Wu let him stay. Liu Wu needed someone to handle the heavy work he wasn't good at, so he could gather and sell more lotus seeds. He wanted to save enough silver to treat the hidden ailment he suffered from. It was an extremely rare disease. He'd heard that if he saved enough money to consult a physician who had once served as an imperial doctor to the royal family, there might be hope of a cure. But one day, Bai Zhe discovered his secret. And that very day, someone sent a matchmaker to deliver a token of affection to Liu Wu. … Liu Wu: You never told me your true identity was the Crown Prince of the Northern Frontier… Xiao Le (Bai Zhe): Aren't you being a little harsh on someone who's lost his memory? Liu Wu: So why are you telling me now? To repay me? Xiao Le: Yes. Don't you want to treat your illness? Come back with me. Liu Wu: If I go back with you, my illness can be cured…?! Xiao Le: Come back with me. You don't need treatment. I need a consort. Liu Wu: …? Liu Wu tried to refuse, saying that as a southerner he wouldn't be able to adapt to the Northern Frontier's climate, but the other man easily hauled him back anyway. *Liu Wu is the weaker top.
