Next historical danmei novel: Helping His Highness Usurp the Throne Made Me Empress [Reborn] [Political intrigue · Power couple, sweet romance · Both leads Reborn] In his previous life, Rong Changjin fell for Yan Ling at first sight and loved him for the rest of his life. He broke with the Rong family's ancestral rule against taking sides in political struggles, using every means at his disposal to help the young man ascend the throne. Sadly, the new emperor worked diligently for his people for less than two years before dying of illness. He never once responded to Rong Changjin's love. As Rong Changjin sorted through the burial goods, he found hundreds of portraits of himself beneath the emperor's coffin. For the next two years, he guarded the imperial mausoleum alone, asking every day, "Yan Ling, you have me in your heart, don't you?" No one answered. He died of grief. Reborn in his youth, Rong Changjin swore he would never miss this love again. He planned to win the young man over before he became emperor. He never expected the young man he loved to have returned from the dead as well. This time, Yan Ling took the initiative and got him into bed first. Yan Ling rested his head against Rong Changjin's shoulder, his voice as light as a feather. "Changjin, I'm not a fool. I know you love me, but I could only pretend not to know. I was going to die back then. What good would it have done to give you hope, only to make you disappointed later..." Rong Changjin cut him off. "Then do you know how I lived after you died?" Yan Ling said nothing. He didn't dare ask. He hoped Rong Changjin had found a happy, fulfilling life, but he couldn't bear to know who the lucky beloved was, the one who'd stolen the person closest to his heart. Rong Changjin wrapped both arms around his waist and tilted his head up slightly. "I gave up all my titles and wealth to guard your tomb." Yan Ling's eyes widened in shock. "You..." Rong Changjin felt his own voice tremble. "I guarded it for two years, three months, and nineteen days, then died in front of your tomb. The new emperor was moved by my devotion to you and buried me beside your mausoleum." Yan Ling's voice was soft and trembling. "Changjin, I was wrong. I owe you a lifetime of love, and I owe you a place by my side. In this life, I'll make it all up to you." [Bonus scene] On the eve of his successful coup, Rong Changjin kept staring at Yan Ling. He worried that Yan Ling was still frail, as he had been in his previous life, and would die after only a few years. He absolutely couldn't let Yan Ling be on top and wear himself out. Rong Changjin broached the subject. "Look, I've helped you seize the throne. Could you let me be on top?" He was only thinking of Yan Ling's health, but seeing how much Yan Ling had filled out over the past few years, along with his toned abs, Rong Changjin felt decidedly guilty saying it. Yan Ling tilted his head, a faint smile in his eyes, and indulgently replied, "Whatever you want."

[Reunited after a breakup · A scumbag with a sweet side] Five years ago, eighteen-year-old Jiang Yu fell in love at first sight with the brilliant Gu Zhou, who had come from a nearby city to help the poor. They met on the orphanage wall. After Jiang Yu repeatedly flirted with him, Gu Zhou fell for him, but Jiang Yu disappeared. Gu Zhou waited for three days on the overpass where they had promised to exchange rings and pledge themselves to each other. Jiang Yu never showed up. Five years later, they met again. Gu Zhou cornered him by the roadside as cars roared past and the lights blurred around them. Looking at him, he said each word with a tremble: "After you left, I wandered this city every day, driving all over its streets and alleys. I watched the city change, the world turn. But Jiang Yu, it's been five years, and I still haven't seen you come back." The air grew still and heavy. After a long silence, Jiang Yu lifted his head and gave him his signature cool smile. "Sorry. Back then, I was just flirting for fun. I didn't really love you." Gu Zhou sneered. "You never said that five years ago, when someone broke your leg. Why say it now? Do you think I'll believe you?" Gu Zhou took an old, mottled copper ring from his right hand. "You made this copper ring yourself. You left it at the end of the overpass when you went away, and I've worn it for five years. Now I want to return it to its rightful owner. Will you take it?" I love you, beyond the seas and the changing world. But Gu Zhou, we can never go back. Theme:
