Marry Your Shadow Guard to Me

Yingyao was the most loyal shadow guard in the prince's manor. But because of his handsome face, the prince sent him to the palace to serve as a male consort.

Though he was unwilling in every way, layer upon layer of pressure and coercion left him no choice but to accept the mission.

When the prince was gravely ill, he had promised never to abandon Yingyao. Now, all it took was one remark from the young emperor that he liked Yingyao, and the prince handed him over without a second thought.

The prince ordered him to get close to the young emperor, seduce him with his beauty and body, and poison him a little every day.

From then on, Yingyao had a new name and became the young emperor's most beloved male consort.

On the day he left the prince's manor, Yingyao had asked the prince whether, after all their years together, he felt even a trace of reluctance to let him go.

The prince said nothing. Yingyao left without looking back.

From that day on, there was no affection between them, only mutual use.

The young emperor was rather foolish. Every time Yingyao smeared poison on his lips, the emperor would feel unwell after kissing him, yet still insist on kissing him again.

When the other consorts bullied and humiliated Yingyao, the young emperor would take his side, showing his favoritism for all to see.

After experiencing what it felt like to be loved, Yingyao suddenly thought how foolish he had been before.

When they fell into danger outside the palace, the young emperor protected him without hesitation. Seeing him covered in wounds yet still putting on a brave face, Yingyao suddenly let go of everything that had happened between them.

As the prince pressed him at every turn, he raised his sword and demanded, "Are you betraying your master?"

Yingyao resolutely took a sword strike from him, gravely wounded. "From this day on, Yingyao no longer exists in this world."

The young emperor looked triumphantly at the prince and laughed at him for mistaking a pearl for a worthless stone.

Your shadow guard? I'll gladly take him.

1. Happy ending, one-on-one.
