*I've posted the first chapter. I'll come back to update this book later.*
His former lover went from penniless to successful, making a name for himself and becoming prime minister, while Xu Wenran was still scraping by under the crown prince.
Whenever they ran into each other after court, they exchanged a few false pleasantries. Gongsun Xiang looked splendid on the surface, but behind closed doors he clung to Xu Wenran like a madman. Xu Wenran thought he was crazy, but unfortunately, a higher official outranked a lower one, and there was no escaping him.
"Are you afraid of me, Lord Xu?"
"No."
"If you're not afraid, then you must like me."
Gongsun Xiang had never forgotten how, six years ago, this heartless man had discarded him like trash.
Though he was no good for him, he still couldn't let go.
The male lead of The Treacherous Minister, Gongsun Xiang, is an out-and-out villain protagonist. He plays power games, usurps imperial authority, backs the Fifth Prince against the Crown Prince, and stops at nothing to satisfy his own desires.
Xu Wenran knows nothing about this. He has supported the Crown Prince alongside his family since childhood, and doesn't regain his memories and recall the plot until he turns twenty.
By the time he realizes he's living in a book, he and Gongsun Xiang are already in love and sharing a bed.
Six years after their breakup, his ex still won't leave him alone.
He's watched everywhere. A letter appears beside his pillow every single day. Mysterious kiss marks show up on his wrist. His personal belongings vanish in the blink of an eye. And Gongsun Xiang looks at him so lasciviously, as if he wants to strip him bare...
His ex is a pervert!
Xu Wenran can't take it anymore. He picks a day to meet Gongsun Xiang. Since they've broken up, they might as well make things perfectly clear and cut ties for good. If it comes to it, he'll resign and go home to farm!
As soon as he enters the private room, Gongsun Xiang pins him against the door.
Huh?
The prime minister, powerful enough to dominate the court, kneels beside his legs, tugs at his belt, and says with a smile, "You talk. I'll lick."
Huh???
Reading guide:
Both are each other's first love. The top is a seemingly unbothered, secretly sarcastic groundhog, while the bottom was already abnormal and became even more twisted and black-hearted after being dumped.
The top actually enjoys the bottom's madness and is happy to let it happen. The bottom's illness is real, and so is the fact that the top has been encouraging him all along.
More to come if I think of anything.
