[Working hard to build up a backlog]
Three-year-old little phoenix Rong Chuan remembered going to sleep in a golden nest. When he woke up, everything had changed!
His once-grand residence was in ruins, draped in cobwebs. The radiant phoenix egg had grown dull and been tossed carelessly into a corner, and the countless servants had vanished without a trace...
Rong Chuan thought, No matter. He had plenty of strength and ways to get things done. He could surely build himself a new golden nest!
The next moment, he suddenly turned into a tiny baby.
Fortunately, a pair of gentle hands picked him up.
Brilliant light filled his eyes, and Rong Chuan couldn't help reaching out to grab it.
The newcomer chuckled. "I think we're fated to meet. How would you like to come to the Kingdom of Goldsilk and become its crown prince?"
"Ah!"
And so the most powerful nation on the continent welcomed its three-year-old crown prince!
*
The princes of the Kingdom of Goldsilk had all grown up, and were secretly fighting tooth and nail for the crown prince's position.
The emperor, in a moment of folly, chose the three-year-old adopted son of the newly appointed Imperial Preceptor as crown prince. And then, miraculously, all the princes stopped fighting for the position and began competing for the crown prince's favor!
Only the older siblings, hidden among the imperial princes, were moved to tears.
The eldest brother, bound to a System that assisted the future emperor, excitedly took Rong Chuan's hand. "Little one, come on, hold the brush and write the character for 'read.' You'll amaze everyone!"
The second sister, who had gone up the mountain to study the arts but was actually cultivating immortality, boldly placed a wooden sword beside Rong Chuan. "Little one, this secret manual makes human-form cultivation incredibly fast. You deserve to have it!"
The third brother, who commanded an army, swiftly shoved a tiger tally into Rong Qin's arms. "Don't be afraid, sweetheart. If trouble comes, just throw rocks at them!"
The fourth brother, famed for his diligence in government, couldn't suppress his desire to slack off. "The little one is crown prince, so I can finally relax and study those flowers, birds, fish, and insects!"
The fifth sister, bound to a tea-sipping palace intrigue System, dabbed the tears at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. "Little one, you have to be very careful with the food in the palace. How about I taste it for poison?"
Surrounded by everyone, Rong Chuan looked hopefully at his very best friend. "You're normal, right?"
"Of course," the other person said with a smile of exquisite tenderness, hiding the twisted side of himself that had developed while waiting for a thousand years.

At first, Rong Chuan just wanted to find himself a nest. He never expected to end up going home so easily.
One-on-one, primarily from the bottom's perspective, sweet romance.
