The Prince of Zh Bei, whose power was great enough to threaten the throne, sent his youngest son, Xu Shuangchi, to the capital to wish the emperor a happy birthday.
Unexpectedly, on the way there, Xu Shuangchi had a dream. It said that during this trip to the capital, he would win the hearts of all three princes one after another. Then they would force him into a relationship, torment him in body and soul, and finally exhaust him to death by demanding his company day and night. He would even be posthumously named the first male empress of the dynasty.
History would call him a seducer of the ruler who threw the court into chaos, leaving him infamous for all eternity.
Xu Shuangchi: ...Some dog is talking out of its ass :)
He thought it was only a dream, but after arriving in the capital, everything written in the tale began coming true one thing at a time.
Whenever Xu Shuangchi remembered the shameful events that were supposed to come next, he cracked his knuckles and turned green with rage.
With his father, the Prince of Zh Bei, backing him, Xu Shuangchi decided he had no reason to hold back. He kicked the crown prince in the chest when he tried to make a move on him, shoved the second prince into a lotus pond when he got handsy, and drew a turtle on the face of the third prince, who recited sentimental poetry to him every day.
The emperor was so furious he nearly had a stroke, but with the Prince of Zh Bei looming beyond the border, he dared not act. All he could do was issue edict after edict reprimanding Xu Shuangchi for his audacity.
Xu Shuangchi accepted the edicts and apologized every time, then turned around and became even more brazen.
Later, at the imperial banquet, Xu Shuangchi met the emperor's uncle, who was said to be frail and sickly and never leave his residence. The man was so handsome and refined, so clear and radiant, truly a gentleman of exceptional grace.
Through the bustle of the banquet and the sparse shadows of pear blossoms beneath the corridor, he suddenly smiled at Xu Shuangchi.
And so, emboldened by the wine, Xu Shuangchi really did dare to do something for once.
...After thoroughly ravishing the emperor's uncle, he fled on horseback to the border that very night.

Later, the Prince of Zh Bei raised an army, and Xu Shuangchi led the charge back to the capital under the banner of purging the court of evil ministers.
But when he arrived, he discovered that the old emperor had already hanged himself with a white silk cord. Not only was an old acquaintance now seated on the throne, but the imperial palace had also been sealed off as tightly as an iron barrel, waiting for him to fall into the trap.
When Xu Shuangchi was brought into the hall, the new emperor had just set down a memorial.
"I hear the young general has been having quite a good time beyond the border. Matchmakers have nearly worn down the threshold of your residence."
"Have you forgotten that when you tricked me into making love with you, we already worshipped the moon as husband and husband?"
As he spoke, he idly traced the side of Xu Shuangchi's neck with the vermilion brush of the emperor. "Will you still dare to run next time?"
Xu Shuangchi sat there with a blank face, pretending not to hear.
Your humble subject dares, and will dare again!!!
A proud, unruly, defiant young general as the shou x a gentle, seductive, outwardly pure but secretly ruthless beauty of an emperor's uncle as the gong
