Your Highness, Your Cover Is Blown

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

Of them, he was closest to Li Yuan.

Sadly, Li Yuan died young, at just 24.

[Female lead's perspective]

Yin Yuchen couldn't let anyone involved in Li Yuan's death go unpunished.

Fan Yu, who had also been a study companion, was the first to bear the brunt.

He hadn't killed Li Yuan, but Li Yuan had died because of him.

Again and again, Yin Yuchen sent Fan Yu to the most dangerous borderlands and assigned him the most perilous missions, using others to do his dirty work.

Yet Fan Yu kept escaping death and earning one great merit after another.

At last, he became the most powerful minister.

So how do I get rid of him now? Asking for a friend. It's urgent.

[Male lead's perspective]

As one of the new emperor's childhood study companions, Fan Yu had never enjoyed anything like Li Yuan's favor from the emperor.

He concealed an unspeakable desire.

All he could do was withdraw to the border and guard that man's empire for him.

The world called him the conqueror of Langjuxu and the God of War of Dayan.

No one knew that in the lonely, bitter nights at the border, he was consumed with jealousy of that new emperor's trusted courtier.

At last, the courtier died.

Now the new emperor had only him to rely on.

The strongest enemies required him to lead the campaign.

The most desperate predicaments required him to break through.

Being relied on by that man was enough to make Fan Yu content to die.

Time and again, he survived near-certain death and made that man's realm as impregnable as an iron fortress.

Then one day, Fan Yu finally realized that the man didn't rely on him at all. He simply wanted him dead.

He thought about it all night, abandoned the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border, and quit!

[Little scene]

Fan Yu pinned Yin Yuchen against the imperial desk. "Your Majesty once promised to grant me anything I asked. I ask Your Majesty to spend one night with me. Will you grant it or not?"

Yin Yuchen trembled. "We are both men, my dear minister. How could we spend the night together?"

Fan Yu gave him a cool, steady glance, his resolve unshaken. "You can be on top and I on the bottom, or I can be on top and you on the bottom. Your Majesty can choose. After tonight, Your Majesty and I will be even, and we will never meet again."

[After that night]

Yin Yuchen turned away. "We will never meet again."

Fan Yu raced over and dropped to his knees in front of Yin Yuchen. Clutching the hem of his robe, his handsome face drawn tight, he struggled to speak before finally managing, "No..."
