I Only Want to Be a Fainthearted Emperor

A lazy, goofy, scheming beauty of a prince who is the bottom x a fiercely strong, straightforward, loyal immortal who is the top

Li Zhao was a pro at being born lucky. He had everything from the moment he came into the world, and when he was around ten, his own mother even shoved the position of crown prince into his hands.

From then on, he had no ambitions to strive for. Only good food and beautiful people were worth indulging in. Li Zhao resolved to be a benevolent ruler who did nothing but eat and chase beauties.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. The muscular immortal he'd raised with his own hands was a wolf pup whose heart he couldn't warm. It was bad enough that the pup wagged his tail frantically around his aloof senior apprentice brother, but when forced to choose between life and death, he actually abandoned Li Zhao for that senior brother.

Li Zhao couldn't tolerate such a disgrace. He immediately shed his immortal sect secret identity and scurried home to inherit the throne, never expecting the wolf pup to come after him.

On the day the new emperor ascended the throne and announced to the world that he was opening his harem, the newly appointed sword cultivator steward of Cangqing Mountain knelt outside the palace gates and refused to leave.

Reluctantly, Li Zhao could only summon his stubborn junior apprentice brother from behind a beaded curtain.

Lying across his couch and eating grapes fed to him by a beauty, Li Zhao asked lazily, "Have you come to apply for the position of imperial preceptor, Immortal?"

Jiang Qi looked up at the shadow behind the curtain, his eyes reddening. "No. I've come to compete for the position of queen."

In the past, Jiang Qi: Senior Brother, could you try having some ambition? All you do every day is eat and drink! Look at Senior Brother, he's better than you and works harder, too!

Later, Jiang Qi: I just love how greedy and lecherous Senior Brother is. So cute~ Mwah~

Content warning: I'm writing whatever I want to indulge myself. The top is stubborn to the point of being a jerk, and the bottom is a shameless pursuer in the beginning, but still has his self-respect. Happy ending, no switching tops.
