Scholar He had just placed first in the imperial examinations and been appointed to office, but the tyrant took a grudge against him after his very first remonstrance.
With a grand wave of his hand, the tyrant “betrothed” him to a general who was supposedly destined to be disabled for life.
On his wedding night, he sat expressionlessly on the bed, waiting for the husband he had never met.
He gripped the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
He wasn’t about to let anyone do as they pleased with him. If he couldn’t defy the imperial decree, he would at least protect his chastity.
But when a man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a murderous air, and white silk covering his eyes was wheeled in and called him “Scholar He,” he promptly threw away the dagger.
The naturally gay Scholar He thought in a good mood: Perfect. He’s exactly my type.
He said, “I’ll guard the frontier and keep you safe for the rest of your life.”
He said, “I’ll take the world and offer it as your bride price. I’ll marry you.”

The tyrant was a tyrant. Many people cursed him behind his back.
Hah. He didn’t care. His heart belonged only to his beloved consort.
“She” had promised to help him ascend the throne when he was still an unpopular young prince.
The young prince asked nervously, “What will I have to pay? Money, power, or... my life?”
The beauty laughed sweetly. “All I ask is the position of Noble Consort.”
If his beloved consort wanted beautiful clothes, he would summon the finest tailors in the land. If she wanted to cling to him, he would let her sit with him on the dragon throne. If she wanted to leave him... he would lock her in the palace.

The eunuch hadn’t originally been a eunuch.
The emperor had not only harmed him, but also arranged for him to serve at his side, just to humiliate him.
He calmly endured the humiliation and bided his time. One day, he would kill the dog of an emperor.
That day, he came home to find the tyrant had sent him a pretty young male companion. It was clearly a new round of mockery.
But... the dog of an emperor was to blame. What had this boy done wrong?
He longed for the warmth of that person’s embrace, yet still raised his cold blade and gambled everything on his young life.

By a twist of fate, Commander Ren was reassigned by the tyrant and sent back to his hometown.
He happily ran to the academy he had attended as a child, eager to see the stubborn old teacher’s face when he couldn’t stand Ren but couldn’t smack his hand with a ruler anymore.
But the old teacher was gone, and a similarly stern young teacher had taken his place. Disappointed, Commander Ren left.
At dusk, he saw a familiar figure atop the little observatory. The person’s windblown hair brushed lightly against Commander Ren’s youthful heart.
He thought, shocked: Old He, this is bad. I’ve become gay too!
Golden bells on his ankles rang as he danced for rain. He was the Imperial Preceptor of Great Jing, a lonely silhouette in the observatory.
A collection of short stories. The characters in each story are connected, but each can be read on its own.
Set in a fictional dynasty. It’s a brainless romance that doesn’t even bother to dress itself up as an ancient political intrigue story.
Everything is made up, full of holes, with fantasy elements and plain, diary-like prose. Just enjoy it for fun, and please don’t expect too much from an author with only a junior high school education.
The stories are also known as:
“How the Nation-Guarding General Was Bent by a Devious Gay Man”
“The Down-and-Out Prince Who Won the Throne by Living Off Others and His Calamitous Beauty”
“Who Says a Eunuch Can’t Keep a Pretty Young Male Companion?”
“After the Imperial Preceptor Lost His Memory, Commander Ren Found Teacher Xie at the Little Observatory”
The first story gets most of the attention: one-on-one, happy ending, sweet, both inexperienced, and a slow-burn romance.
The later stories go wild, and their endings can be interpreted in different ways.
Theme: May peace reign throughout the land, and may all lovers find their way to each other.
I support General Ho's bachelor's degree!
I have a hunch that Mu Ziqing is not the Kunlun Miracle Doctor himself, right?
Ccc, this is what makes it interesting~
Ccc, from the attitude of Lao He towards the general at the beginning, it can be seen that he is a face-controller. It is reasonable to suspect that he just likes this type and wanted to pursue it, but was rejected!
