Blurb:

Enchanting young eunuch, dominant seme x tragic, beautiful chancellor, uke

Su Wugua, Jiangling's most distinguished young gentleman, once died. Now, before he steps out, he has to divine which foot to lead with, and if he travels far without a secret identity, he always feels someone will kill him.

But Su Wugua never imagined that Jin An, an otherworldly creature who seemed to never even shift his backside in the palace, would have more secret identities in court and the martial world than he did.

Su Wugua, wearing a secret identity and being chased by assassins while investigating a case, narrowed his eyes. "...Thank you so much. You're such a good person."

Eunuch Jin, wearing a secret identity as he wiped his blade, replied calmly, "Think nothing of it."

...Skipping ahead through countless incidents.

Su Wugua, wearing a secret identity, gets drunk and collapses on a brothel bed. "Miss... you're so pretty. You look just like my... mother."

Jin An, wearing a secret identity, takes a steamed bun from the pocket inside his robe, bites into it with his thin lips, and leans down to whisper in Su Wugua's ear, "Idiot."

In The Prison Case, Su Wugua writes: The capital is a battlefield at every turn. I couldn't find a job, and at twenty-five, I had to start all over and take the civil service exams. After passing, I still couldn't find a job. I nearly died climbing my way up to deputy chief minister, only to be thrown in prison in the blink of an eye...

But in this hellhole of a capital, everyone loves my enchanting junior fellow disciple, Jin An. Emperor Wanli dotes on him, and he is temperamental. My fellow disciples fight each other bloody for his sake, civil and military officials alike are his devoted admirers, and my junior fellow disciple's favorite act is impersonating me.

Jin An takes up his brush and crosses out the word "impersonating," then tosses Su Wugua's manuscript to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. "Print ten or twenty thousand copies."

And so, the words "My junior fellow disciple likes me best" set the Ming Dynasty ablaze...

Countless young men and women sharpened their knives.

_(:зゝ∠)_

Even if he's a flower high on a mountain, pluck him while he's in bloom.

The tenth year of Wanli isn't all that important. Spring flowers still bloom, worthy ministers still fall, history still condemns me, two unparalleled talents still meet, and together we still sail into the mist.

Happy ending, uke-centered, each other's first love, mutual pining.

The uke is very strong, very strong. The seme and uke are evenly matched in ability, so the blurb may be a little misleading.

The characters are all original, and the leads used to be fellow disciples.

A fictional parallel-world Ming Dynasty. Don't nitpick or overanalyze, just enjoy the story and have fun.

Don't worry, the seme is a real eunuch. The silly author says he can still grow since he's young (hands on hips).

One more thing: This was foreshadowed from the very first chapter. All the spoilers in the content warnings drained my good luck (evil grin).

Mainly about the civil service exams, court politics, and solving cases.
