Both leads are sexually and romantically exclusive; happy ending

Shen Fengchi was the grandson of a noble and upright chief minister. He should have risen smoothly through the ranks and made a name for himself in history. Instead, his whole family was executed, and he was sold for thousands of gold as a courtesan in a brothel.

To spare his family’s reputation, he swallowed poison in despair and took his own life. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in the body of someone fifteen years in the future.

His enemies sat securely in power. He had neither status nor influence, and his health was in ruins. Revenge seemed almost impossible, so Shen Fengchi turned his attention to Prince Pei Zhao, who commanded the army.

Rumor had it that Pei Zhao was cruel and murderous, ruthless, and fond of men.

Noble principles and a good name meant nothing in the face of a blood feud. Shen Fengchi gritted his teeth, concealed his identity, and became Pei Zhao’s male concubine.

Pei Zhao was suspicious, constantly accusing him of scheming and having ulterior motives. Shen Fengchi clutched his chest and coughed up blood. “I only wanted to win a little of Your Highness’s sincere affection. I can’t believe you’d misunderstand me like this.”

Pei Zhao apologized in shame and handed over the storeroom keys to make amends. Shen Fengchi took the money and immediately went off to open a tavern and gather intelligence. When he was caught, he had no choice but to clutch Pei Zhao’s sleeve with tears streaming down his face. “I only wanted a way out, so that if Your Highness ever tired of me, I wouldn’t be left homeless...”

Pei Zhao held him close and wiped away his tears. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

From then on, Shen Fengchi became Pei Zhao’s most beloved male concubine. When he coughed up blood, Pei Zhao bought every ginseng root in half the city. When he had nightmares, Pei Zhao stayed by his side all night without taking a step away. When he fainted, Pei Zhao went to a temple to pray for a longevity lock and put it on him with his own hands.

Shen Fengchi never imagined there could be someone in the world so easy to fool.

With just a few words, he could get a fortune and command of the army. Just as he was about to avenge his family, Pei Zhao suddenly began pressing him step by step. “Didn’t you say you wanted my sincere affection? Didn’t you say you loved me too much to help yourself? Then what are you doing now, my darling?”

Shen Fengchi looked at him with innocent confusion. “What are you talking about, Your Highness?”

Pei Zhao calmly exposed his identity. “Shen Fengchi.”

Unable to keep up the act, Shen Fengchi dropped his sweet, innocent facade and showed his true colors. “Now that you’ve found out, what are you going to do? Will you kill me, Your Highness?”

He thought Pei Zhao would hate him from then on, but before any revenge came a flood of heartache. “I knew you were deceiving me all along.”

Shen Fengchi: ...

Shen Fengchi couldn’t understand. Could someone really be so foolish that he’d help count the money after being swindled?

“Why... why are you so good to me?”

At that, Pei Zhao froze for a moment, then ground out through clenched teeth, “Back then, in the prince’s residence, you helped a child to his feet, gave him a jade pendant, and saved him and his mother. Are you saying you’ve forgotten all about it?”
