Sleeping Through the Dawn [Interstellar]

Three years ago, a devastating announcement came from the distant stars. Crown Prince Ryan fell heroically on the frontier, and even his body could not be brought home. The Empire lost its godlike, dazzlingly handsome heir, and one of the strongest New Crystal Humans of the century. They said the prince had left behind a pitiful young widow. ...At the funeral, the young widow had black hair and pale skin. He lowered his eyes in silence as he supported the coffin, his frailty as a Remnant Human written all over him. The imperial family and the Empire's elite could not help but frown. This was the common-looking person who had made His Highness so madly in love during his lifetime? . Jiang Jianming spent three years as a complete slacker at the Imperial Military Academy, utterly unremarkable. When graduation season came, he calmly packed his bags and took his first step onto the brutal battlefield among the distant stars, going to retrieve his little prince's body. Everyone knew Remnant Humans were physically weak and had no fighting ability. Many people, some mocking him and others pitying him, waited to wrap this young man in a shroud. Until one day, the pale young man strode across scorched earth, drenched in blood, and raised his hand to send gunshots shattering through the long night. The galaxy was reflected in his clear eyes, while crystal dust and starlight bathed the blade of his mecha. Behind him, countless prodigies of the New Human race gazed at him with heartfelt admiration and called him “Commander” in unison; Alien creatures trembled in terror at the mere mention of him; The prosperous Glory Autonomous Star Territory welcomed him as an honored guest; The ruthless space pirates both loved and hated him... Jiang Jianming smiled faintly. “Don't exaggerate. I'm just a frail, sickly Remnant Human.” The people of the Empire: “?” And when the emperor returned from hell to the world of the living, he heard the legendary tale of how his beloved had turned the distant stars upside down for his sake. The emperor glared coldly. “Nonsense. The Commander is just a frail, sickly Remnant Human... So, who talked him into getting in a mecha today?” The people of the Empire: “???” Please set those withered years ablaze, pass through the dying embers of an ancient civilization and the frigid stars stretching for thousands of miles, and awaken in my arms before humanity's dawn arrives. *, * Pairing: Iron-willed yet tender prince/emperor seme × clever, composed military academy student/commander uke ★ Exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City.
