Your Highness, Why Are You So Frail?

Forced marriage | Faked death and rebirth | The pursuer's long road to winning him back

A scheming, tearful prince who pretends to be weak x A beautiful, carefree playboy who only wants to enjoy life after being reborn

When Gu Xi opened his eyes again, he found himself back in his youth, facing the person who had given him nightmares in his previous life: the Regent who had forced him into marriage and clipped his wings.

This time, he would keep his distance from the young prince. But the other man clung to him like a dog-skin plaster, impossible to shake off.

Gu Xi shut his doors and refused to see him, so the dignified prince stood in the rain and demanded an audience.

Gu Xi went to a tavern, and the prince booked out the entire place just to sit at his table.

Gu Xi was ambushed while out and about, and this time the prince took the blow for him.

Gu Xi sneered. "Passion that comes too late is worth less than grass. Your play at suffering won't work."

You like getting stabbed? Then I'll stab you myself. I'll do now what I didn't get around to in my last life.

Who could have expected that when the prince heard Gu Xi was getting married, he would throw royal dignity to the winds and come alone to steal him away?

Xiao Chengzhao: "We were married long ago. We bowed before our elders and shared a bed. Second Young Master Gu, are you going to use me and then throw me away?"

The assembled officials: !!!

Gu Xi: "Xiao Wu, you're being ridiculous. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

Xiao Chengzhao burst into tears, then forcibly carried Gu Xi away in front of all the guests.

He tossed Gu Xi onto the bright red wedding bed he'd prepared, then ignored the struggles of the man beneath him and pressed him down.

Their foreheads touched, their hot breaths mingling between them.

"Jingxi, I told you. You can only be mine. No one can take you away."

The red curtains swayed, and the wooden bed creaked.

From then on, all of Great Qi knew that their Fifth Prince was a homosexual, and that the Second Young Master of the Marquis of Beiding had rejected his advances. Everyone shook their heads and lamented, "Alas, what a misfortune for the nation."

The Marquis Gu has two sons. His eldest is accomplished in both letters and arms. He passed the Hanlin Academy examination at fifteen, then switched to military service two years later. At seventeen, he went north on a campaign with his father, the Marquis of Yanbei. But his younger son is a typical pampered young master. His usual activities include admiring flowers, having fun... and teasing the myna bird.

So everyone says that with a capable father and elder brother, he can lie around enjoying himself and still have more wealth than he could ever spend.

One day, this young master, who was good for nothing but frivolity, actually slept with a prince! And afterward, he refused to take responsibility. Heartbroken, the prince went to beg the Emperor to grant them a marriage.

Everyone: !!! The Marquis of Dingbei's household really doesn't raise idle people. This young master is quite something, too!
