Complete main story and extras. It's finished, so come on in and enjoy! Please support the official release~ My ongoing novel, The Last White Lion, has its blurb in the pinned comment. Feel free to add it to your favorites~
Yan Yan is the youngest son and favorite child of the emperor of the Southern Kingdom. His mother is Consort Yu, the most beloved consort in the harem.
Consort Yu was a rare beauty in her youth, and Yan Yan surpassed her. Though only in his teens, his peerless looks had already made him famous throughout the land.
People say that a pampered little prince like Yan Yan will surely be granted a fertile fiefdom when he comes of age, where he can live as a carefree prince, take several beautiful concubines, and spend the rest of his life in comfort.
But before he could even come of age, he was tricked into a political marriage in the Northern Kingdom. And the man he was to marry was the Northern emperor, who was already in his thirties and had children older than Yan Yan, not to mention a harem full of consorts and male favorites. When the people of the Southern Kingdom heard what had happened to him, they all felt terribly sorry for him.
Yan Yan had no idea he was going to be married off. When he first arrived in the Northern Kingdom, he saw a country left desolate by war, with its people displaced and its treasury empty. Helian Gao was emperor, yet he was struggling to make ends meet. Having grown up in a prosperous age, Yan Yan couldn't bear to see it, so he volunteered to help Helian Gao rebuild the country.
Only, somewhere along the way, he ended up moving into the imperial bed.
Yan Yan protested, "I thought we were allies, but you want to sleep with me!"
Helian Gao stole a kiss. "Didn't you come here to marry me?"
Yan Yan: (eyes wide in shock) (can't believe it) (at a loss) (devoured whole) (clutching the blanket) (crying like a kitten) I want to go home!
Helian Gao: "Good boy, this is your home now."
(Note: The blurb is an exaggerated, comedic condensation of the plot. The actual story is the main text.)
Extra scene:
(1)
On his way to the Northern Kingdom, Yan Yan heard an envoy say that its emperor was a hulking, fearsome man who could scare children into crying at night. He didn't think much of it.
It wasn't until later that he realized he was there to marry the Northern emperor. Watching the emperor's towering figure approach, Yan Yan huddled, trembling, in the corner of the bed. He really can scare children into crying at night!
Older seme doting on his uke. Dominant emperor seme x delicate, adorable, irresistible prince uke. 1v1, both are each other's first.
A few things to know before reading:
[Important] This is an alternate history, mainly a chaotic mashup of dynasties from the Qin and Han through the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The author's writing and historical knowledge are limited, so please don't overanalyze it or you'll give yourself a headache.
1. The seme's country evolved from a nomadic people where levirate marriage is common. His wives, concubines, and children were all inherited from his older brother. Before meeting the uke, he was wholly devoted to his career, and had never been with anyone, emotionally or physically. He fell in love with the uke at first sight. The uke is a spoiled, delicate little thing raised in luxury, starved for affection and with a mother complex. He has concubines, but is still essentially a virgin. A deranged cannon-fodder seme also makes an appearance.
2. The story follows the author's usual slow-burn style. Romance is the focus, with palace intrigue, political schemes, and nation-building as supporting elements.
3. I've already flagged the major potential triggers. Please don't come in just to nitpick after reading the blurb. Normal comments and suggestions are welcome, but trolls and contrarians aren't. Insults will come back to bite you. Let's keep things civil and harmonious and create a diverse Jinjiang community, QWQ.
Blurb for my upcoming novel, The Young Master's Descent to Earth
Ping Fan was born into a wealthy family, starting life at the finish line everyone else could only dream of. He had money, looks, and genius-level talent.
Everyone in his social circle assumed that after graduation, he would return home to take the burden off his father's shoulders and lead the family business.
To their surprise, he became one of the ordinary working class, running errands and delivering takeout every day. He drove a luxury car worth millions to make deliveries, and wore a million-yuan watch while manning a street stall. He lived a thoroughly down-to-earth life.
His father worried himself sick over it. Then, in a flash of inspiration, Ping Fan asked his childhood friend's older brother to be his marriage-alliance partner. That settled the inheritance issue once and for all, freeing him to continue his ordinary career without a care in the world.
Zhuo Yue left home at a young age. After returning to the country, he met Ping Fan at his welcome-home banquet. Ping Fan had arrived late and was panting from running. Seeing his plain shirt, bangs damp with sweat, and flushed cheeks, Zhuo Yue thought he was a hotel waiter. Only when his mother formally introduced Ping Fan did he learn that he was the only son of an old family friend.
He never expected that this little guy, who barely came up to his chin, would sneak into his room that very night and stammer out a proposal of marriage. He had no idea what had come over him, either, but somehow he agreed.
What surprised him most was that this seemingly obedient, well-behaved young man kept coming home late after they got married.
One night, he came home from working overtime to find Ping Fan still gone. He summoned the old butler who looked after him. "Where's your young master?"
The butler lamented, "The young master is still out at his stall and hasn't come home."
Zhuo Yue paused while taking off his tie. "...What?"
Extra scene:
The Zhuo Group recently issued a new rule: after work, employees must visit the street corner and buy something from the young man at the stall. It doesn't matter what he's selling that day. Take a photo after buying and post it in the work chat. Purchases count toward performance reviews and bonuses.
Unaware of the reason, Ping Fan made a fortune. One day, he came home early and said to Zhuo Yue in a mysterious voice, "I've made quite a bit lately. Want me to treat you to dinner tonight?"
Zhuo Yue was looking forward to it. He thought Ping Fan would take him to the city's tallest restaurant for a romantic candlelit dinner, so he happily agreed.
Half an hour later, he was sitting at a street stall in a carefully coordinated suit, utterly bewildered, while Ping Fan enthusiastically recommended the tastiest dishes.
Zhuo Yue rubbed his forehead. Fine. I spoiled him, so what can I do? Leave him?
An employee passing by: What? I can't believe I'm seeing the boss on a date with the cute guy who runs the street-corner stall!
Ping Fan (ordinary) uke x Zhuo Yue (outstanding) seme. Down-to-earth uke and high-class seme. Older seme, both each other's first love. Sweet, everyday story about falling in love after marriage (?).
Theme: Respect and understand each other, and work together to build a better life.
Copywriting of advance collection "The Last White Lion" Due to the development of the times, the expansion of human habitats, ecological destruction, theft and paid hunting, the number of wild lions has plummeted from hundreds of thousands to less than 5,000 in a hundred years, and they are on the verge of extinction. As the news spread that the only white lion in the wild was hunted and taxidermied by a wealthy man for one million, people from all over the world rose up to condemn and protest, and it was urgent to protect wild lions. At a private auction, a white lion specimen caught Ryan's attention. That night, Lane was found passed out at home, leaving behind a suicide note setting up a foundation to protect wild lions. Soon, Louis, the son of an oil tycoon, announced that he was resigning. In order to fulfill his fiancé's wish, he went to the prairie of F continent to become a ranger, which caused a sensation. On the grassland, a newborn white lion cub struggled to crawl out of the swamp. This scene was captured by a photographer and attracted global attention. Lane, dressed as a little white lion, looked at the grassy wilderness and fell into deep thought. Good news: He was reborn as a precious and rare white lion. Bad news: The father of this little white lion became a specimen not long ago, and the mother was seriously injured and died while protecting it. How can he survive on this grassland alone as a lion? A few years later, lions reoccupied this grassland, and the legend of a white lion king has always been circulated on the grassland. Everyone knows that the white lion Ryan is not the biological cub of the Mary Lions, but the Mary Lions don't care, just because Ryan is sensible and can be cute. He helps his mother and aunt manage the disobedient cubs, always clings to his father's side, and becomes his father's most well-behaved son. When he grows up, he even accompanies his father on patrols and hunts, winning the favor of the entire lion group. But Ryan also had his own troubles, such as his mane growing slowly, being suspected by his brothers of being his sister, and being mistaken for a lioness by other male lions when he was wandering, attracting many male suitors. Faced with the pursuit of pursuers, he can only use force to prove that he is fair. What's more, other little male lions will be kicked out by the lion king's father when they reach the age of three or four, but he has reached the age of wandering, and the lion king's father still calls him home for dinner every day_(:з)∠)_ Louis has lived in the grassland for a long time, and he has begun to have his own troubles. His fiancé has more and more suitors. He looked at the lion rivals who were eyeing each other and fell into silence. Small theater After Ryan became a little white lion, he learned how to be cute from the lions, and showed off his cuteness skills to Louis from time to time. It was okay when he was young, but when he grew up, Louis couldn't bear it: "Baby, you are now the first three hundred kilogram big cat." Ryan: "QAQ thinks I'm too heavy and doesn't love me anymore!" Louis: Help, what should I do if my lover's love is too heavy? This is a story about a husband and wife working together to protect wild lions. The little white lion is attacked by humans, and Shou will eventually turn back into a human. They fall in love with each other 1v1 for the first time, and Shou is a fan of lions. Note: Because the author has never been to Africa, this article is fictional or semi-fictional. All knowledge comes from various documentaries. Because it is a novel, there will be artistic processing, and the lions in the article may be different from real wild lions. The title is inspired by the documentary "The Last Lion"
Hey, have we finally reached this chapter? I kind of want to see the father and son meet. I wonder if the current episode has this plot. I wonder if the official knows that Yanyan is the child of his teacher's eldest grandson. Although it's not an important thing, hahahahahahahaha
Originally, when I saw that the imperial concubine knew the truth, I thought that if Yanyan was captured, the imperial concubine might help him out of guilt or something, but she committed suicide. But then I thought about it, the queen also said that she was ice-snow smart, maybe she had figured out the key a long time ago, But she doesn't want to believe it, because her efforts over the years seem to have been in vain. She has no hatred for anyone and no motivation to live. In ancient times, and she was still in the harem, what she suffered was considered fatal, but no one redressed her grievances, so she could only swallow it. Here, she finally got a head start, so naturally she would not give up easily. When everything was settled, she had been able to muddle along. It can be seen from her behavior after Yanyan left that although she did not give much maternal love when Yanyan was here, at least she had a mother. As a mother and beloved concubine, after Yan Yan left, she was like an actor who had been killed and had no goals. So after the emperor died and the queen revealed the truth, she chose to commit suicide because there was nothing left to support her survival, no enemies and no goals. It's like people who have long been determined to die are relieved.
"Yi'er" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ It should be Jing'er?
Even though the love between our parents is bitter, it can also be considered happy.
I've finished reading, it's great, applause [spread flowers]
More than 10,000 words in one afternoon, so awesome!
Second, the noise at night is really annoying and affects sleep 🤔
It's over!! Awesome!
So will Yan Yan go into seclusion in the future?
