A seemingly foolish but actually clever, cheeky bottom x a patient, scheming, incredibly lucky top
When Zong Yang was ten, he moved into Prince Zhaohui's residence with his master and met the haughty young prince, Gu Wangchuan.
His master, a miracle-working physician, always said that Zong Yang was good in every way except that he had no filter, and sooner or later his mouth would get him into serious trouble.
Zong Yang pressed down on little bun-shaped Gu Wangchuan's head and said, "Did your parents hate you that much to give you a name meaning 'Yellow Springs'?"
"Are you mute?"
"Should I call you Little Hades from now on?"
Four-year-old Gu Wangchuan had been unable to cry since birth, but Zong Yang managed to make him howl with rage. He lunged at him, ready to bite.
Later, his master hauled Zong Yang over and gave him fifty lashes, making him apologize to the young prince.
After fifty lashes, Zong Yang couldn't get out of bed for half a month. He never forgot that little bun, Little Hades.
During the year he lived at the prince's residence, Zong Yang took every opportunity to tease Little Hades. But Little Hades was, after all, a young prince, and every time he complained, he got results. Zong Yang was constantly beaten by his master as a result.
The two of them were at each other's throats.
A year after leaving the prince's residence, Zong Yang ran into Gu Wangchuan again.
Gu Wangchuan looked miserable.
Zong Yang rubbed his hands together. Heh heh heh, even the King of Hell will lose a layer of skin if he falls into my hands!
Zong Yang gathered firewood and started a fire. His stomach's growling, so I'll cook him a meal first.
Gu Wangchuan spent three whole days vomiting and suffering from diarrhea.
Zong Yang patched his clothes. His clothes are so ragged, the neighbor's kids will laugh at him if he goes out like that.
From then on, Gu Wangchuan was practically naked.
Zong Yang gave him a solemn lecture. He's at the age when he should go out and gain experience. I'll toss him in the mountains for a month.
Gu Wangchuan came out of the woods covered in blood and burst into tears.
Twenty years later, the young Prince Zhaohui avenged his great wrong, returned in triumph, ascended the throne, and was worshipped by the people as the God of War of Zhaohui.
Back in the harem, with the palace maids and guards all gathered in the garden, Zong Yang was telling the story: "...And that's how I raised your God of War Emperor!"
