In Great Chu, there was a Grand Preceptor named Shen Ci, a thoroughly corrupt minister who controlled the royal family and manipulated the puppet emperor, wielding absolute power.
In the end, the young emperor, Chu Lang, shot an arrow through his heart during the Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony, leaving him to be cursed by posterity.
Reborn in this life, Shen Ci returned to a month before the ceremony, so he decided to resign. He was done being Grand Preceptor.
He sent his resignation and the imperial seal to the palace,
but Chu Lang tore them up.
Not only that, Shen Ci could not even leave the palace gates. The young emperor effectively put him under house arrest at his side, watching him every day.
Until one day, when the young emperor overstepped his bounds with Shen Ci, his Grand Preceptor and tutor, Shen Ci finally lost patience. "You may not know this, but there is a blood feud between us."
.
In his previous life, Chu Lang refused to listen to Shen Ci and trusted the wrong people. Not only did he kill Shen Ci, he lost his own life as well.
His obsession was so deep that he was reborn. He swore never to trust anyone again, and insisted on keeping Shen Ci by his side so he could uncover the truth about his previous life.
But the longer he kept Shen Ci confined, the more he realized that Shen Ci had no designs on the throne this time. Instead, he was as adorable as a little fox.
It was only when Shen Ci finally escaped his side that Chu Lang realized he had already fallen for him.
He truly could not live without Shen Ci.

"After the Sickly, Beautiful Chancellor Faked His Death, the Tyrant Went Mad":
Everyone knew that Lin Huaiyu, the current chancellor, was a ruthless and powerful corrupt official who held the court in his grasp.
No one knew that Lin Huaiyu had raised the young emperor and helped him ascend the throne.
When Su Yang fell on hard times, Lin Huaiyu knelt in the snow all night to plead with the late emperor on his behalf, leaving him with a knee injury.
When Su Yang fought for the throne, Lin Huaiyu took the poisoned wine meant for him, leaving him with a chronic illness that kept him hovering between life and death.
He stopped at nothing to eliminate the new emperor's enemies and bring order to the court. In return, he was imprisoned deep within the palace and forced to serve the emperor night after night.
Every night brought nearly insatiable demands, along with Su Yang's devilish whisper against his ear.
"Chancellor Lin, who else but Me could satisfy you?"
But Lin Huaiyu merely swallowed the blood in his throat and closed his eyes.
Su Yang did not know that he was dying.
-
Lin Huaiyu had been Su Yang's captive lover for two months when he finally awaited the empress's coronation ceremony.
Su Yang wore his wedding robes, brimming with confidence, while a raging fire consumed Qin Chun Palace, where Lin Huaiyu was imprisoned, burning every trace of him to ashes.
Word spread among the people that when the new emperor heard the news, he halted the ceremony at once and charged into the fire in his wedding robes, heedless of his own life. But he brought nothing back out.
They said that the entire palace heard cries of despair and grief, and anguished sobbing, all through that night.
-
A year later, the new emperor traveled incognito through the south.
Amid Jiangnan's misty rain, Su Yang, tormented by nightmares night after night and unable to sleep, saw once more the figure etched into his heart.
The young man reclined against a cushioned couch, his smile faint, just as he had always been.
But this time, there was no place for Su Yang beside Lin Huaiyu's couch.
With red-rimmed eyes, Su Yang forced down the bitterness in his heart and approached. But the man he had yearned for day and night rested his chin on one hand and mocked him lazily: "Your Majesty couldn't even see through my fake-death escape. And you still think we can be together for all eternity?"

This is the fourth story in Jinjiang that I loved from the bottom of my heart and bought it all without hesitation! (On the premise that more than two hundred books have been opened in Jinjiang) Maybe the story is simple in terms of plot and emotion (it is short after all). But for sick lovers, it's really love! I always feel that the author has a magical power in portraying the weak and sick. The words may seem plain and simple, but they are just right and make people's hearts tremble. Compared with some stories that use too much force to describe the beauty of the sick as "miserable", or many labeling behaviors that say sick but not weak at all, Dada really controls the scale just right! I can't resist such words at all! (I can't envy it. I always try too hard and it's not enough...) Moreover, what's more, the heartache of the Imperial Master can be summed up as a heart attack, which perfectly hits my tricky cuteness! I would like to rank this article as my second favorite story in Jinjiang!
I always feel that the emotional line is not clear, and the love between Shen Ci and Chu Lang comes out of nowhere. Although the author said it in the text, I really like Shen Ci's character design. I can accept the cold, sick and beautiful woman! Siha?
Fortunately, there is an extra chapter, otherwise it would have felt like the ending was too hasty.
This article made me so autistic
I forgot to scatter flowers after reading this! Let's make up for it. Hey, if you haven't poked it yet, it's suitable to pass the time.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, I really don't know. I've ordered them all. I have no impression. Let me take a look.
It was a long time before I saw this extra story...
Ahhhh, a hasty extra story
The cold and icy beauty is amazing!!
Mrs! Rice rice! Hungry!
