As the legitimate son of the prime minister, Yu Zheng is famous for defying convention, and for his dashing, carefree ways. While traveling in Jiangnan, he encounters a beautiful person in distress.

The beauty tumbles right into his arms, eyes faintly red and glistening with tears, lovely lips and a face so stunning it steals his soul.

Yu Zheng is instantly captivated, but then realizes the beauty has been drugged and needs... someone to help.

Yu Zheng asks the gorgeous beauty several times if this is what they want. Every time, the answer is yes.

The anticipation in those eyes seems genuine.

After one night of passion, the beauty disappears without a trace.

Having had a taste of what he likes, Yu Zheng often finds himself thinking about the beauty's appearance that night.

Those reddened lips, tear-bright eyes, and soft, restrained moans...

An imperial decree grants him a civil-service post as a Palace Draftsman, but the young emperor's offer meets with Yu Zheng's firm opposition.

After dragging his feet every step of the way, he finally arrives in the capital and kneels before the emperor. "Your Majesty, I do not wish to use my father's rank to secure an official position!"

The young emperor before him wears a dragon robe, his lashes lowered slightly and his gaze cold. "Oh? You don't want to stay by My side? Or have you found a beauty you'd rather keep company?"

Yu Zheng: ...? You've said everything. What am I supposed to say now?!

But that voice sounds a little familiar.

When he looks up, he realizes that the person in the dragon robe looks exactly like the beauty he rescued, the one he'd searched for without success!

The emperor has no crown prince, and the harem is little more than an empty shell, without a single consort. The ministers are all deeply worried.

But ever since Yu Zheng returned to the capital, the emperor's appetite has improved considerably.

A few months later, Zong Ying takes ill and cancels court, forcing Yu Zheng to shoulder the duties of regent.

He works through official documents until the third watch, but makes little progress. Then he finds the young emperor, who called in sick that day, at his own residence.

Zong Ying reclines on the couch, his black hair spilling loose. He says casually, "Yu Jinglian, what do you think of the position of Crown Prince's Tutor?"

"Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty."

Yu Zheng is confused. Why did the young emperor lie down as soon as he arrived?

His gaze falls on Zong Ying's slightly rounded belly. The emperor looks rosy-cheeked, so he doesn't seem ill.

Zong Ying gives him a knowing smile. "I agree. It would be a good idea for the child's father to teach him."

Yu Zheng: ...?

Yu Zheng: Huh????
