The Crown Prince Only Wants to Stay Away from Court [Both Reborn]

[May 12, 2022] [800 Words to Start] [Sweet Romance]

In his previous life, Yu Linzhao was the revered Son of Heaven. Even though he had no interest in ruling, people kept bringing the throne to him on a silver platter.

But he was an emperor in name only. Eunuchs held power, and the one who truly controlled the court was the current Eunuch Lord of Nine Thousand Years, Su Yanchu.

Everyone said the new emperor had a face like peach blossoms and eyes like autumn waves, with a bright, moonlike bearing. He seemed to enjoy boundless glory after ascending the throne, but in truth, he was the current Eunuch Lord's bedmate.

The day the rebel army marched on the city, Yu Linzhao was held at swordpoint. He remained nonchalant: if he hadn't indulged his powerful maternal family, Su Yanchu would certainly have been forced to join them in death.

After he died, Yu Linzhao saw the powerful eunuch, now the Eunuch Lord of Nine Thousand Years, holding him and weeping softly.

The corners of the man's eyes were red, and his formerly icy expression was nowhere to be seen. Yu Linzhao froze.

After being reborn in his youth, Yu Linzhao saw the future Eunuch Lord, who had not yet become a man whose name made people tremble. The man who would be at his side for many years had just been castrated and lay in bed, pale and weak.

In a daze, Yu Linzhao thought of how he had once been a brilliant young nobleman.

The young crown prince gazed at the future Eunuch Lord, who had yet to wield overwhelming power and was still a frail youth, and changed his mind. "I want him."

The court officials had always thought the Eunuch Lord and His Highness the Crown Prince were sworn enemies. Then one day after court, they saw the Eunuch Lord holding the crown prince, sucking on his earlobe and calling him by his childhood nickname. The crown prince struggled as the Eunuch Lord murmured, "A-Zhao, don't make a fuss."

They had expected the crown prince to fly into a rage. Instead, the young emperor struggled for a moment, then sighed. "I really can't do anything about you."

"Come here. Let me pamper you."

Su Yanchu would never forget that, when he was young, friendless, and had no hope of a career, the young emperor stood before him, looking down with casual indifference. "I promise you a future as the Eunuch Lord of Nine Thousand Years. How does that sound?"

Nor could he have imagined that, one day in the lonely years to come, he would climb into the crown prince's bed and pin him beneath him, seeing the man beneath him flushed like the first light of spring, lost in desire. "Your Highness, grant me your favor."

Both protagonists are reborn: the moment they died in their previous lives was when they were reborn.

A crown prince who wants nothing to do with court affairs x a gloomy, noble Eunuch Lord of Nine Thousand Years

High-visibility notes:

The crown prince is adored by everyone and truly laid-back. In his previous life, he became emperor because his maternal family was powerful and because he took a liking to the other protagonist, so everyone kept insisting he was destined for the throne.

In their previous lives, the protagonists had little conflict. The crown prince would have gladly left all the court affairs to the other protagonist, while officials from top to bottom wailed every day about how wronged His Majesty was.

The other protagonist was the Eunuch Lord of Nine Thousand Years in his previous life. He secretly loved the crown prince and coveted his beauty, but after years of restraint without managing to get his hands on him, he finally went a little crazy.

The crown prince took consorts, but never touched them. He is still a virgin, out of rebelliousness.

His grandfather, the chancellor, was always scolding him: You must be a wise ruler. Don't do this or that.

His lust had been fading, and even the chancellor never imagined his grandson would be driven to become gay.

Theme: Given another chance, he still refuses to learn his lesson and wants to laze around.
