[The outline has been revised, and the story itself has also been edited. I'm working hard to fix it.]

Blurb:

Hua Lichen transmigrated into a book, becoming a character everyone hated: the master of Zhou Lanyan, the dissolute crown prince of the State of Zhao.

In the book, the crown prince's master was actually working for the Second Prince, with the sole purpose of keeping an eye on the crown prince's every move.

The doomed master encouraged the crown prince to become even more debauched, and fed him all kinds of pills containing slow-acting poison. Sure enough, before long, the crown prince died. After his death, the Second Prince silenced the doomed master, too.

After arriving in this world, Hua Lichen trembled with fear and prepared to run away. But the damn System gave him a mission: help the crown prince ascend the throne, and don't let Zhou Lanyan fall in love with him. Only then could he return to the real world.

So Hua Lichen clung to the crown prince's leg and began his struggle to survive.

-

In his previous life, Zhou Lanyan had trusted his elder brother completely. That trust had ended with his brother poisoning him.

As he died, Zhou Lanyan's overwhelming hatred brought him back to life. Reborn, he proceeded cautiously at every turn.

Events unfolded just as they had in his previous life. Hua Lichen arrived, but Zhou Lanyan was no longer the useless wastrel the world thought him to be.

Yet he discovered that the Hua Lichen of this life was different in every way. He devoted himself to curing Zhou Lanyan's illness and even shielded him from blades and swords.

Zhou Lanyan scoffed. "Hah. A ploy to make me feel sorry for you."

-

The Second Prince's faction fell, and Zhou Lanyan ascended the throne. The whole realm celebrated. The ministers feared their new emperor's decisiveness and ruthlessness, while waiting to see how Hua Lichen, formerly a man of the Second Prince, would be torn limb from limb.

But that night, Zhou Lanyan grabbed Hua Lichen by the ankle and dragged him over. "Master, I've been drinking the nourishing soup you make every day, and I've felt wonderful. Shouldn't you take responsibility? Master, how about one more time?"

The next morning, Hua Lichen clutched his aching waist and protested, "Zhou Lanyan, you're a monster."

Coming-soon blurb:

As the youngest prince of the State of Wei, Cheng Chuyu is blessed with peerless beauty and adored by all. To rescue his elder brother, he willingly marries the emperor of an enemy state.

The emperor of Liang sneers at the arrangement. The State of Wei is willing to send a favored prince in exchange for one they don't even favor? What trick are they playing?

On the bed, the stunned Rong Liuzheng grips Cheng Chuyu's chin and demands, "Who are you, really?"

Why does he look so much like the person in my heart?

Tears glisten in the beauty's eyes. "Your Majesty, in every life, I will belong to you." He is impossible not to pity.

Since he cannot find the person in his heart, the prince sent by Wei will make a decent substitute.

Rong Liuzheng showers Cheng Chuyu with affection, yet time and again reminds him in bed that he is nothing but a substitute.

When he sees Cheng Chuyu gazing lovingly at the prisoner, Rong Liuzheng's eyes burn with jealousy.

When he realizes that Cheng Chuyu is the very person he has kept in his heart, all that remains in Cheng Chuyu's eyes is hatred.

The three-month deadline arrives, the day the emperor of Liang is to release Cheng Chuyu's elder brother. The night before, in the cell next door, the jealous Rong Liuzheng punishes Cheng Chuyu again and again, gripping his chin hard. "Make a sound." Cheng Chuyu clenches his teeth and says nothing.

With a dagger, Cheng Chuyu forces Rong Liuzheng to accompany him and his elder brother to the great river outside the city.

After his brother leaves first, Cheng Chuyu plunges the dagger into Rong Liuzheng's chest, smiling brightly. "Your Majesty, you were nothing but a substitute to me, too."

Then Cheng Chuyu drives the dagger into his own chest and leaps into the rushing river.

In the freezing water, Cheng Chuyu regains his memories. The person who saved him by the cliff when he was little was Rong Liuzheng. But now, it's too late.

-

Three months later, at the border between Liang and Wei, Cheng Chuyu, living under an assumed name, hears news from Wei: his elder brother has killed their father and seized the throne!

Overcome by shock and anger, he faints. When he wakes, Rong Liuzheng is sitting beside the bed, gazing at him tenderly. "You're carrying my child. Where do you think you're going? You said yourself that you would belong to me in every life."

We will never be parted in life or death.
