Listening to the Wind Eight Hundred Times

Yang Yanqing oversees the Imperial Prison. Keeping his promise to the late emperor, he devotes himself to assisting and instructing the young emperor, earning the respect of the entire court as the Emperor's Mentor. Although he knows that common folk often mockingly call him the emperor's lapdog, Yang Yanqing says he can bear that little indignity. As long as he knows he's a genuinely kind-hearted gentleman, that's all that matters. An imperial decree of marriage brings together the Emperor's Mentor and the Regent Prince, two powerful men who are constantly at odds in court. After their wedding, the couple get along wonderfully in the bedroom, but go their separate ways at court. No one would guess that they share a roof and go to court through the same door. Xiao Jinghe had always thought Yang Yanqing was a frail scholar with a devious mind, until an assassination attempt in the plum garden.

A preview of another historical danmei novel: Bumping into the Villainous Chief Minister's Palm as a Little Bird Shen Xinian was the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, but he misjudged the people around him. His stepmother framed him and made him take the blame in his younger brother's place. He died of illness in prison. Reborn, he became a tribute bird. Shen Jiujiu was utterly heartbroken. He refused food and water, wanting only to end his brief life as a bird as soon as possible. Then the cloth covering the birdcage was lifted, and standing before him was the man he had once longed for day and night, the man he had never dared hope to get close to. The white jade tit who had been listlessly waiting to die rushed forward in one great leap, planted a claw on the food dish just as it was about to be taken away, and guzzled down his meal. Under the man's deep, searching gaze, Shen Jiujiu sat with his belly bulging, then melted into a little bird-shaped pancake in the man's palm. His chirps rose and fell, tender and lingering. His eyes were full of stars. The emperor bestowed upon Pei Du, the chief minister, a bird that was starving itself to death. The emperor's taunt was that the stubborn bird's refusal to read the room was just like Pei Du. Pei Du's expression remained calm. "In that case, I should let it get what it wants and die a worthy death." But when Pei Du lifted the cloth covering the cage, the supposedly starving bird saw him and its round black eyes lit up. It clamped down on its food bowl with fierce determination. It ate so frantically and eagerly that it nearly choked to death several times. Pei Du raised an eyebrow and decided to keep this spirited, discerning white jade tit. Cold men can't resist clingy birds. Through Shen Jiujiu's tireless efforts, he went from the birdcage in Pei Du's study all the way to his pillow. He even got a little blanket of his own. One night, Pei Du woke with a start and stared in shock at the white-haired youth who had suddenly appeared in his bed. Shen Xinian, no longer covered in feathers, kept his eyes closed and snuggled into Pei Du's arms as if he'd done it countless times before. He chirped without a shred of embarrassment: "I'm cold. Jiujiu wants a hug." Shen Jiujiu is a long-tailed tit. Before he transforms, expect plenty of chirping! They save each other. Synopsis recorded from a screenshot on 2025/1/13.
