You Are the One I Can't Help Loving

New recommendation: Your Highness, You Dropped Your Disguise

When Yin Yuchen was crown prince, he had six companions.

He was closest to Li Yuan.

Sadly, Li Yuan died young, at just twenty-four.

[Heroine's Perspective]

Yin Yuchen can't spare anyone connected to Li Yuan's death.

At the top of the list is Fan Yu, another of the prince's companions.

He didn't kill Li Yuan, but Li Yuan died because of him.

Again and again, Yin Yuchen sends Fan Yu to the most dangerous frontiers and gives him the riskiest missions, using others to kill him.

But Fan Yu always comes back from the brink of death, earning one great achievement after another.

At last, he becomes the most powerful minister in the empire.

How can she take him out now? Asking online. This is urgent.

[Hero's Perspective]

Fan Yu grew up as a companion to the new emperor, just like Li Yuan.

But he was far less favored by the emperor than Li Yuan.

With feelings he could never reveal, he had no choice but to retreat to the border and protect the empire for the man he loved.

Everyone called him the Wolf-Sealing Champion and the Great Yan's God of War.

No one knew that, in the lonely, frigid nights on the frontier, he was consumed by jealousy of the new emperor's close aide.

At last, that aide died.

Now the emperor had no one to rely on but him.

The emperor needed him to defeat his strongest enemies.

He needed him to break through his most difficult impasses.

To be relied on so completely by that man, Fan Yu would gladly die.

Time and time again, he survived impossible odds and turned the emperor's realm into an impregnable fortress.

Then one day, Fan Yu finally realized the man hadn't been relying on him at all. He had simply wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

He thought it over all night, then abandoned the hundreds of thousands of troops at the frontier. He quit!

[Short Scene]

Fan Yu pins Yin Yuchen against the imperial desk. "Your Majesty once promised to grant every request I made. I ask for one night of intimacy with you. Will you agree or not?"

Yin Yuchen trembles. "We are both men. How could we be intimate?"

Fan Yu gives him a calm, steady look. "You can be on top and I can be on the bottom, or I can be on top and you can be on the bottom. Your Majesty may choose. After tonight, we will be even, and never see each other again."

[After That Night]

Yin Yuchen turns away. "We will never see each other again."

Fan Yu leaps after him and drops to his knees. Clinging desperately to the hem of the man's robe, his handsome face taut, he stammers after a long struggle, "No..."

[Story Blurb]

In her previous life, Jiang Zhi was about to marry into the Eastern Palace when she was abducted just before the wedding.

She lost her virtue, and her husband-to-be, the noble and refined crown prince, lost his life.

The son of a concubine was vicious and cruel. He murdered his father and elder brother, staged a coup, and was utterly depraved.

Reborn, Jiang Zhi is determined not to let history repeat itself!

After much soul-searching,

Jiang Zhi decides:

She just won't enter the Eastern Palace.

No matter what, she'll find someone to marry first and stay far away from that family's den of tigers and wolves.

Later on,

A thumb roughened by thin calluses gently strokes her lips.

She hisses and pulls away in pain, but can't escape.

"Why are you hiding?" His sharp, icy gaze is bloodshot with madness. "Afraid I'll eat you?"

Jiang Zhi trembles in terror, her voice almost inaudible. "Fourth Prince, you must be joking."

He slowly licks his thumb as he draws it back, staring coldly at her swollen lower lip. "What if I'm not?"
