The Villain Keeps Trying to Summon Me

When Shen Qing transmigrated here, he was an empty shell of a crown prince, banished to the cold palace, ignored by everyone, and constantly bullying a hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom. Shen Qing was terrified... The other man was a ruthless future ruler who would kill without blinking and unite the realm! In the cold palace's back courtyard, the little crown prince, who had once abused his power to bully the hostage on his own turf, suddenly started batting his peach-blossom eyes and currying favor with the enemy prince, Chi Zhou, attending to his every need. Chi Zhou withdrew the deadly trap he had spent years setting up. Watching the pretty young crown prince roll up his sleeves to chop wood, heat water, wash clothes, cook, and even act cute and coquettish, he changed his plans. The realm and the beauty... He wanted both. * Who could have imagined that the useless crown prince would be released from the cold palace, and that the one who helped him unite the realm would be the enemy hostage imprisoned alongside him? With his own strength, he raised Shen Qing to the highest position in the land. Shen Qing had nightmares every day, dreaming he was the villain's pig, being raised until the day he was slaughtered and sent to the afterlife with one stroke. He waited and waited, until Chi Zhou returned victorious from his final battle as Shen Qing's general. A bloodied sword, a peerlessly beautiful man. Kneeling by the couch, he watched Shen Qing impassively, still holding the token the little crown prince had given him back in the cold palace, asking him to choose a consort. Shen Qing looked at the marriage token he'd given him back then to curry favor and avoid a tragic death, and thought the other man had come to take everything from him, including the humiliations the original owner had inflicted on him in the cold palace. Knowing he was doomed, Shen Qing threw caution to the wind and snapped, "Choose what? Turn the world upside down? Stir up a storm?" "Your Highness, why don't you and I... make love?" He would give him the realm, and take the beauty for himself. [Blurb screenshotted and archived] Theme: Willing to serve you as your subject.
