The Prince's Thoughts Are Impossible to Guess

Pei Heng was sent to the palace as a child to become Prince Heng’s companion, but he never had to suffer a day in his life.

That was because Prince Heng had always been gentle and tolerant, indulging him in everything.

Pei Heng had been unruly and carefree, bold and unrestrained since childhood, but fortunately, he was perceptive and clever, and knew how to appreciate other people’s kindness.

Pei Heng thought he understood Prince Heng better than anyone, until...

Zhao Tingyou pulled him into his arms, his ears flushed red. “Do you really think that of me, too?”

Pei Heng: ????

Zhao Tingyou is very easy for Pei Heng to fluster, and blushes easily himself.

So when Pei Heng agreed to be with him, he was already completely content. He had no regrets in this life.

When they tried it for the first time, he was afraid Pei Heng would be in pain, so he told him he would take the bottom.

But Pei Heng only smiled faintly, his voice growing softer and gentler. “Your Highness, I don’t know how.”

Zhao Tingyou: (mind goes blank) (face turns bright red in an instant) (whispers sweetly) ...I’ll teach you. (reaches out, ready to take off his own clothes)

What Pei Heng is actually like: His schemes are clicking away like an abacus!

Full version:

Gentle, thoughtful, blushes easily, and utterly doting top × Seemingly flirtatious but actually direct, clever and carefree, a little liar, yet gentle bottom who knows how to reel people in

Short version:

Gentle, restrained, doting top × Smiling, crafty bottom who knows how to reel people in

Note:

1. An alternate-universe historical danmei, very loosely based on history. It isn’t a serious historical drama. Modern and ancient customs are mixed together, and there are many authorial liberties, so please don’t nitpick the historical details.

2. Everyday-life focused, not a political intrigue story. The romance is the main focus, with angst early on and sweetness later.

3. Both leads are each other’s first, though there will be a love triangle.
