[Over-the-top melodrama] [Jinjiang exclusive; for some unedited content, see Weibo: Jinjiang Guan Hongyi] - *I'm standing in for myself. The shou is the true beloved, and the gong mistakes him for someone else. Expect a series of belated regrets and a desperate pursuit of his wife. Gu Jingyuan is handsome and accomplished, with literary talent to spare. He is a once-in-a-century beauty in the Great Yi Dynasty, a star of literary brilliance. Yet at a glance, he looks eighty percent like the beloved of Emperor Yuwen. He is very obedient. He serves the emperor loyally at court, and in private, he never turns the emperor down, willingly becoming a stand-in without asking for a title. Everyone thinks he is deeply in love with His Majesty. Until Emperor Yuwen's beloved returns. Gu Jingyuan remains obedient and considerate, not wanting to make things difficult for His Majesty. He stretches, then asks to leave the capital: his debt of gratitude is repaid, he's had his fun, and now it's time to call it a day. At last, he can leave, la la la! The emperor: ??? Only later does Emperor Yuwen learn that Gu Jingyuan's devotion was never meant for him. Nor was Gu Jingyuan in love with him. Later still, the supreme ruler of the realm falls to his knees. [Sweet and innocent on the outside, actually heartless and carefree scum shou x beautiful, strong, truly miserable, and violent emperor gong] [Content warnings] 1. Old-school style, pregnancy and childbirth, and an avalanche of melodrama. Both leads are each other's first, but they're scummy in different ways. Happy ending. 2. Romance-focused. The plot is indulgent and satisfying, set in an imaginary world with no regard for logic. Everything serves the romance. 3. A massive groveling pursuit. There are sweet moments and heartbreak, with plenty of angst and catharsis. 4. Pregnancy and childbirth appear in the extras, not much in the main story. Mentioned in the blurb and tags because they are relevant. ※ Please bookmark the author's page! Theme: A story about young people in ancient times striving to improve their country
