[I'm writing the next story about this! Please add it to your reading list! Pretty please!!]
A pampered, beloved, gorgeous little ray of sunshine, the spoiled young heir of an aristocratic family, is the bottom x a cunning, handsome, powerful, tragic crown prince with a thousand schemes who dotes on his wife, the top
Just turned eighteen, Qi Yuzhu transmigrates into a court-and-harem novel aimed at male readers, becoming the frail, pampered youngest legitimate son of the Qi family, a powerful clan whose members are villainous officials.
If he remembers correctly, after the new emperor ascends the throne, his entire family will be executed, leaving nothing behind.
But all of that happens thirty years in the future!
His eldest brother, destined to become a ruthless, overbearing prime minister who holds the whole court in his grasp, has only just finished the imperial exams and been given a low-ranking post.
His father, destined to be a renowned teacher whose wisdom will enlighten the world, is still only a fifth-rank palace librarian.
His second brother, destined to become an unstoppable warlord and win glorious victories, is still being chased around and beaten by their father.
Here comes the blueprint for a typical family of workaholic, powerful officials. All they need is a bewitching concubine in the palace whispering in the emperor's ear to complete the picture!
And he, the good-for-nothing young master who has been spoiled rotten by the Qi family, is extravagant and pampered, with nothing in his head, and a bully to the story's protagonist. He's also an eight-year-old child who can't lift or carry anything, with short arms and legs, and has only just begun learning to read.
Wait, am I the only useless one in this family?
Although the future male harem protagonist hasn't even been conceived yet, the events of thirty years from now need to be planned for early and subtly. So this family of survival-of-the-fittest, wolfish rules gains one more person who wants to lie flat and coast through life.
Every day, Qi Yuzhu shouts, "Let's lie flat!" "I'm a lazy fish!" "Stop competing!" "Life is only thirty thousand days long!" and charges out into the world.

1. A beloved, universally adored protagonist, with family, friendship, and romance. The protagonist is the bottom, a gorgeous beauty; the love interest is handsome and the top.
The bottom is gorgeous and kindhearted, and all kinds of NPCs have all sorts of feelings for him, but there is no intimate contact. He doesn't return any romantic feelings except the top's.
2. The bottom is eight at the start, but his soul is already eighteen. In the early chapters, his whole family are workaholics raising a child.
3. Mainly a story about living as a spoiled young master in ancient times. The setting is fictional, and the writing is simple. Don't expect rigorous research into classical terminology.
4. The top is an initially neglected prince who later becomes crown prince and emperor. Of course, whoever dotes on his wife wins the world.
Theme: Family, friendship, and love are all indispensable.
