The Universal Heartthrob Is Infinitely Gentle

In the eyes of the world, Prince Su is as gentle as jade, immensely powerful, astonishingly talented, and beautiful enough to rival the gods. He is not only the dream husband of countless young women and the idol of countless young men, but also a wise and beloved prince who cares for his people like his own children. Yet at some point, a voice began appearing in Su Jue's dreams. It told him he was merely a cannon-fodder character in a melodramatic novel, and before long, the charismatic protagonist, blessed with a halo, would humiliate him and crush him on the way to becoming stronger, leaving him with nothing.

Su Jue: ...?

At first, Su Jue didn't believe it. But the voice kept appearing so often that he couldn't sleep at night and was worn out in body and mind. Just as Su Jue was about to take its advice and confront the protagonist head-on...

The protagonist: "Brother Su... I worked so hard to rise up so I could marry you."

Su Jue: ...??

Even stranger, he discovered that the protagonist's irresistible charm seemed to have somehow landed on him instead. Princes, imperial generals, genius potion-makers, and alliance secretaries all started showing up to show off and court him. Scheming white lotuses, green teas, and calculating pretty boys came out in droves, all competing for Su Jue's affection.

Su Jue: ...What the hell. I'm speechless.

And the worst part was that the prince he had raised since childhood and diligently supported had been coveting him for years.

Su Jue: Your Highness, please show some restraint.

The prince: All right.

Su Jue: ...Then why aren't you getting down?

"After you left, someone went to the Vol Star System. He walked the roads you had walked and stood in the rain you had endured. He wanted to hold an umbrella over you, carry you through the mud, take the blows meant for you, taste the bitter medicine first, plant a pear tree you liked in the courtyard, and watch its blossoms bloom and fade with you, year after year. Or perhaps he would have no place in any of it. As long as you were alive, safe and happy, that would be enough."
