Blurb:
Violent, foul-mouthed, secretly soft-hearted top x refined, scheming, deeply cunning bottom
Pei Gong, the third son of the Pei family, was of noble birth, decked in gold and purple. With a father who was Duke of Liang and two brothers decorated for their military achievements, he could spend his whole life doing nothing and living as he pleased, and no one would dare criticize him.
Even so, someone dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
The military bandit Pei Gong had been tracking for ages was intercepted by the Imperial Guard just before he could be captured, and lost to him for good.
Watching the Imperial Guard act with impunity, scheme, and throw their weight around, Pei Gong decided to show them what real dominance looked like.
Without a word, he raised his scabbard and swung it straight at their commander, knocking him to the ground.
At the time, Pei Gong didn't get a good look at the man's face. He would never have believed that one swing of his scabbard would make him incur a debt to the very person he'd spend the rest of his life serving. For this man, he would brave snow and frost, enter the imperial court, and weather wind and rain to pacify the coast.
All the things he'd once hated most, he'd have to do them all. By day, he'd serve the emperor and stabilize the realm. At night, he'd go home and coax the little ancestor in his house into taking his medicine, ever so "patiently" and "gently"...
Hurry up and take it. I've sacrificed the rest of my life for you, so don't push your luck.

One winter night, years later, snow fell thickly and the mountain road was hard to travel.
Fang Cenxi lay across Pei Gong's back, listening to him chatter all the way.
Pei Gong: I've never even carried my own sister, but look at you. Even the ladies aren't this much trouble. You bookish types are all so delicate and frail, like little bunny boys.
Fang Cenxi: ...If carrying me is really too difficult, I'll get down and walk myself.
Pei Gong: Don't you dare.
#If you get down, I'll die of anger right here just to show you#
#He can't carry anything else, but he can carry his wife ten times over without even breaking a sweat#
* One-on-one romance, happy ending, top is the pursuer, strong leads, with character growth

I Swear I'll Get the Eunuch Chief Right Next Time
The Liang royal family is in decline, and the empress dowager holds all the power in the palace.
Liang Zizhen, nominally a prince but really just a mascot, learned early how to stay alive:
As long as he was useless enough, the empress dowager wouldn't think to depose him.
So when the other princes staged a coup, he lay low.
When the other princes schemed for power, he lay low.
When the other princes built factions at court, he lay low with the gorgeous beauty the empress dowager had sent him.
Then Liang Zizhen became the old emperor's only surviving child and was promptly promoted to emperor.
Looking back on his life as a successful, lazy fish, Liang Zizhen felt it had gone rather well. His only regret was that the gorgeous beauty the empress dowager had sent him had disappeared without a word.
Until the day of his enthronement, when Liang Zizhen saw the empress dowager's most trusted aide at the head of the assembled officials.
He was He Chen, the all-powerful, ruthless, terrifying chief eunuch of the Eastern Depot.
Liang Zizhen thought he looked vaguely familiar and tried to strike up a conversation. "Chief Eunuch, why do you always look at me sideways?"
Courtier (whispering): Your Majesty, is it possible that Chief Eunuch He is actually glaring at you?
-
Everyone knew that He Chen, the Eastern Depot's chief eunuch, was exceptionally handsome and exceptionally ruthless.
Every official at court wanted to follow him, curry favor with the empress dowager, and claim a share of the spoils in the struggle for power.
But no one had expected the imperial watchdog to betray its master and personally help the useless young emperor of the Liang family secure his throne.
The mood at court changed overnight. The old ministers who had fallen out with He Chen traded on their seniority and rushed to impeach him.
Officials: Your Majesty, this traitor is wreaking havoc at court. He must be eliminated!
Liang Zizhen: Ah, yes, yes.
Officials: Your Majesty, He Chen has defied his sovereign. He is a traitor!
Liang Zizhen: Ah, right, right.
Officials: Your Majesty, please issue an edict to eliminate the villain!
Liang Zizhen: Next time, for sure.
Theme: Live optimistically and be content with what you have.
It feels a little different from what I thought, a little bit cruel. Xiao Gong posted, Xiao Shou was willing to be a target for Xiao Gong's life, and Xiao Gong was hurt and sad. Xiao Shou's second identity was revealed and he faked his death. After regaining his first identity, Xiao Gong still shamelessly posted it. If you can't accept it, you might as well get angry and let Xiao Yue coax him. Why are you waiting for Xiao Gong to coax him? I feel like I'm still mainly influenced by visual texts, and those in control are still influenced by them, although I'm mainly focusing on labels.
