Roguish yet pretending to be proper gong x thorny begonia, sickly beauty shou
#Sister-in-law vibes, stealing someone's love, younger man, melodrama#
Qin Yuan stole a branch of begonia from his elder brother's garden, a flower that was never meant to be his.
Yet he wanted to hide it away.

Everyone laughed that Prince Guangling Qin Yuan looked down on the world and knew nothing of romance.
But only Qin Yuan knew that he secretly pined for one of the current emperor's favorite consorts.
Three years ago, at the night banquet on Tongque Terrace, among countless beauties, he had caught sight of the beauty by the water, reflected in the flowers.
His eyes shimmered with life, his bearing was radiant, and his red robes were as rich as begonia petals. When he turned and smiled, even a stoic Buddha from the highest heavens would willingly let his mortal heart flutter and descend into the dust for him.
Qin Yuan got his wish and plucked that dewy begonia blossom.
But beneath that bewitching springtime beauty lay the cold gleam of a sword.

Luo Yun was a sickly canary among the emperor's three thousand beauties on Tongque Terrace.
People spread rumors that he was a seductive beauty who bewitched the ruler and brought ruin to the realm, forgetting that ten years earlier, on the willow-lined banks of Guangling's long bridge, he had been the “Seven-Paces Gentleman” whose poetry had astonished the world.
He had wanted only to serve the emperor with unshakable loyalty. Who could have known that his startlingly powerful pen would be replaced by the scent of fine silks, his white jade steed by a golden cage, and the Dragon Spring Sword by golden chains?
Until one day, the young man he had once met again on a country lane held him tightly in his arms. His arms were strong, his voice trembling.
“Luo Yun, I'll take you home.”

Sister-in-law vibes, stealing someone's love, younger man, and lots of melodrama.
A melodramatic romance between a younger man and his uncle's wife. The shou was forced by the gong's older brother. It wasn't consensual. Please proceed with caution if this bothers you. The gong is here to steal his beloved. I want to write something for adults, like turning a cold, sickly beauty into a dewy begonia with a pen♂tip.
Main gong POV refers only to the point of view. I'm here to steal a beautiful wife!
