Xie Chenyu and Jiang Fuxue were childhood friends, the closest of companions in their youth, sovereign and subject who supported each other, and sworn enemies who would never rest until the other was dead.
Of all their relationships, the one best known was that of sworn enemies.
Whenever the two disagreed in court, they would start arguing. Sometimes their arguments even came to blows, leaving the other ministers watching in alarm and quietly trying to make themselves less noticeable.
After years of fighting, everyone thought they had a terrible relationship and hated each other.
But on the day Jiang Fuxue died, Xie Chenyu went to Miaojiang like a madman, begging for an ice gu that could keep the body from rotting.
On the ninth day after Jiang Fuxue's death, the emperor in dark robes stood beneath the old plum tree where the two had first met, listening as his friend scolded him. "Jiang Fuxue has been dead for nine days! Nine days! His seventh-day memorial has already passed! Why won't you let him be buried? Are you sick in the head?!"
Xie Chenyu thought that perhaps he really was sick, afflicted with an illness that made him unable to forget Jiang Fuxue.
On the seventeenth day after Jiang Fuxue's death, Xie Chenyu held his body and sat alone all night.
On the eighteenth day after Jiang Fuxue's death, Xie Chenyu finally stopped acting like a madman and allowed him to be buried.
On the twenty-seventh day after Jiang Fuxue's death, Xie Chenyu had a sudden inspiration and decided to write an autobiography.
By ordinary standards, an autobiography should begin with the author's birth.
And when writing about an emperor's birth, it was best to describe some heavenly portent, so that people would believe he was Heaven's chosen one, destined to rule.
But Xie Chenyu refused to write it that way.
Not only did he change the title from The Emperor's Autobiography to The Emperor's Chronicle, he also began the first chapter with how he and Jiang Fuxue first met.

The day Xie Chenyu finished The Emperor's Chronicle, he passed away.

Our memories have ended, so I'm coming to find you.

Childhood: Sweet, sweet, sweet! A bottom who pouts and acts cute whenever he doesn't get his way, opposite a top who tells himself he won't give in just because the bottom acts cute, but can't resist him and gives him everything.
Adolescence: A bickering couple! A tsundere, stubborn bottom opposite a top who seems aloof but is actually sharp-tongued.
Young adulthood: Rivals on the battlefield! A gentle chancellor bottom opposite a ruthless emperor top.
P.S. 1. Very sweet, with a little angst.
2. In my opinion, a person's personality isn't fixed. So the top and bottom's dynamic will vary across their childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. Please don't read if you can't accept that.
3. Happy ending. The top and bottom will be reborn.
