Cowardly, earnest straight man uke × possessive, cunning beauty seme
1.
Shen Jianwan died from overwork after working late into the night, then transmigrated into the body of Shen Qinghui, a cannon-fodder character.
From the start, he was on the execution ground. With no other choice, he had to offer an olive branch to the cold-faced Regent on the platform!
The next moment, he went from a condemned prisoner accused of treason to the Director of the Imperial Observatory. Even the Crown Prince came to seek him out... Fu Lingshi also pestered him every day to discuss the movement of the heavens.
He spent every day in fear and couldn't sleep at night. Whenever he closed his eyes, all he could see was Fu Lingshi's face, pressed close to his as they spent night after night in passionate embrace.
Shen Qinghui was so furious that, to protect his reputation as a straight man, he set his home on fire.
From then on, Shen Qinghui was no more. Only Shen Jianwan remained.
Years later, Fu Lingshi said he would make him emperor. Overjoyed, he happily climbed into the imperial bed.
When he opened his eyes again, Fu Lingshi, dressed in a phoenix robe, leaned over him and pinned him to the bed, taking him completely.
Shen Jianwan: I'm not straight anymore.
2.
Fu Lingshi, Regent of the Great Yong dynasty, held power over the court and was ruthless in his methods. Everyone at court feared him.
On a whim, Fu Lingshi rescued a charlatan who was spouting nonsense on the execution ground.
They had barely spent a few days together when the Shen residence suddenly went up in flames. Fu Lingshi couldn't even find a body! Then he saw the Crown Prince, looking just as desolate, outside the fire. When rivals meet, their eyes blaze with hostility.
From then on, Fu Lingshi threatened to kill the Crown Prince at every turn, showing not the slightest mercy.
Later, Fu Lingshi "found" a man named Shen Jianwan outside the Crown Prince's residence. Even with a different face, he couldn't hide that same pathetic air.
Overjoyed, Fu Lingshi pursued him with every scheme he could think of, but got nowhere. So he simply coaxed Shen Jianwan into bed. The other man went along with everything, but at the last moment claimed he wasn't into men. He was straight.
Fu Lingshi sneered, grabbed Shen Jianwan by the waist, and drove into him. Lying against Shen Jianwan's back, he panted, "Whatever you are, just stay with me, and I'll give you the empire!"
Fu Lingshi: What's a straight man? Never heard of it.
3.
The Crown Prince's lifelong ambition was to defeat Fu Lingshi. But the man had few attachments, a heart of stone, and no weaknesses.
Then he discovered that Fu Lingshi had rescued an Imperial Observatory director and was visiting his residence every few days. He had a thought: This man must have something special about him! So he decided to follow Fu Lingshi's example and win the director over too.
But his plan backfired. Fu Lingshi mistook him for the culprit and fought him for the throne with ruthless methods, truly appalling!
Later, he failed in his ambitions but managed to save his life. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he witnessed Fu Lingshi pinning a man dressed in imperial robes beneath him and consummating their marriage.
Crown Prince: OMG, so the emperor has to be the one on the bottom...
P.S.:
1. This is not a 1v2. The Crown Prince is completely mistaken. Includes a straight man repulsed by homosexuality, a deeply closeted Regent, and a straight Crown Prince who accidentally pretends to be gay.
2. Everything serves the plot: turning a straight man gay, plus a possessive, gloomy man.
3. No substitute, only a secret identity reveal. Mild walling. The uke is slow to figure out his feelings, thinks in unusual ways, and is stubborn.
4. This is the author's personal indulgence. Please don't read too much into the values. Hope you enjoy!
