[Blurb]
A sickly bottom who coughs until half his body goes numb x a frosty-faced, clingy puppy of a top who knows his place and then some
(Regarding the bottom's character, the author is not swearing.)
---Bottom's POV---
Li Yao entered the imperial court at thirteen. For eight years, he excelled in both letters and arms, helping the emperor, his former study companion, soar like a roc on the wind and bring peace to the realm.
Unfortunately, years of overwork had left him depleted. The imperial physicians were helpless, saying the prime minister might not live to see thirty.
Whenever the emperor heard this, he would look stricken. "Yan Chu, you are a great talent of the nation. You must take care of yourself."
Li Yao would always smile and reply, "I would gladly trade decades of my life for a century of prosperity for my homeland. I have no regrets.
Helping you become a wise ruler for the ages is enough for me."
That was, until Li Yao saw the late emperor's letter with his own eyes: "Li Yao is a treacherous minister. Use him when he is useful, discard him when the realm is secure..."
Only then did he understand. The talk of depleted vitality had all been nonsense. The late emperor had been guarding against him on his son's behalf, poisoning the cup of wine given to him at every New Year's banquet.
He had drunk it like a fool for more than ten years.
And the emperor had known all along.
In the imperial study, Li Yao spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering the pile of documents before the emperor.
After that, the young prime minister of Southern Jin went white-haired overnight and disappeared.
In the misty rain of Jiangnan, a carefree, elegant young nobleman with a jade-like face and white hair appeared. Before long, a boy with half his face hidden behind a mask was always at his side.
Five years later, disaster and unrest struck the country, and a powerful enemy threatened its borders.
An uninvited guest arrived at the little courtyard outside a Jiangnan city. "Yan Chu, it was all a misunderstanding. I've come in person to take you home."
Home? Which home...?
Li Yao gave a bitter smile and swayed twice, only for the boy to steady him.
The boy's eyes, visible behind his mask, coolly sized up the visitor. "Your Majesty has gotten even better at the family trade of burning bridges after crossing them."
Then he spoke softly to Li Yao. "Grand-Granduncle, let's go. Wherever you want to go, I'll make sure you have a peaceful corner of the world."
Li Yao wanted to leave.
But if the country ceased to be a country, where could there be peace?
Could he preserve his body and still keep his heart whole...?
-
In this battered world, someone has to help put things right.
---Top's POV---
In the cold autumn rains of Jiangnan, a boy burdened by bloody vengeance suffered a sudden calamity. Half his face was left ruined. Thinking his life was at an end, he lost consciousness from exhaustion.
When he came to, a cool hand rested on his forehead.
The boy looked coldly at the person who had saved his life. "I have nothing, so I can't repay you."
The owner of the hand paused, then smiled. "My hands happen to be cold. Warm them for me, and we'll call it even."
Back then, the boy warmed his hands.
Later, when the boy had grown up, he warmed his heart.
-
I swear I'll sweep every trace of frost from your life.
If you are happy and safe, then I have my peaceful, prosperous age.
[Notes]
* One-on-one romance, happy ending, and no switching love interests.
* Set in an imagined era. It's all made up, so don't compare it to actual history.
* Some censored words may not display even with symbols added. See the paragraph comments.
* I forget how to write characters as soon as I pick up my pen, and I'm half-illiterate. My writing isn't great, I'm a compulsive nitpicker, and I have occasional bouts of madness. This is a self-indulgent work written for my own enjoyment. I hope you readers have fun with it. Feel free to point out problems, though I might not fix them. Love you. *bows*
---A preview from an author who is hopeless at titles and blurbs---
Reverse Formation
A hate-magnet hemophiliac bottom x an enemy kingdom's prince who forgets his roots and follows the wrong path
Everyone knows that Chu Shuang, commander of the Starfleet, is invincible and never loses a battle.
Few know that he has hemophilia.
Years ago, when he returned victorious, he spared the life of a young prisoner of war.
Now, with a bullet in his heart, he is betrayed by that boy and imprisoned in the infirmary.
After coming face-to-face with death, Chu Shuang learns that the innocent boy who had been by his side for years is actually an enemy commander notorious for his ruthlessness. The most laughable part is that, because of a few words from the other man, including one "Bro," he had decided to secretly take charge of things and run away with him.
Looking back now, every moment of their past had been part of a "script"!
Commander Chu regrets it: I gave my heart to a dog. I'll kill you.
The boy regrets it too: Now that things have come to this, what am I supposed to do with you...?
*
The Star Alliance prince Su Xinzhao endures humiliation to infiltrate the enemy forces, only to gradually fall in love with their commander.
At last, while carrying out his mission, he brings the man he loves to the brink of death.
At the crucial moment, a celestial phenomenon appears.
Su Xinzhao seizes the opportunity, paying a huge price to save the man he loves.
He thinks: He's cold on the outside but soft-hearted. Once he knows why I did it, he'll forgive me.
He repeats his old trick, offering the other man a knife just as he did when they first met. "Bro, if..."
Before he can finish, the knife plunges into his chest, all the way to the hilt. A face-slapping blow that cuts straight to the heart.
Su Xinzhao finally understands: You mean it?!
Their eyes meet.
In the other's eyes, Su Xinzhao sees hatred enough to tear his soul apart.
That man is destined to become a great hero. The empire, the Starfleet, even nameless nobodies matter more to him...
He forces out a bitter smile, grabs Chu Shuang by the collar, and kisses him hard, mixing his blood with the blood spattered at the corner of the other's lips.
Is there no going back?
Then I would rather you hate me, just as I can't control how much I love you. At least this way, we will always be carved into each other's hearts.
Theme: Passion for our homeland and its people never fades. Neither the people nor you can be forsaken.
Congratulations on the completion! [Spread flowers] It was fun to watch! The plots of this book are interlocking, and each character and the relationship between them are also used appropriately. Sometimes I have to say that there is a cycle of cause and effect. Each character is also very full-bodied, with their own good intentions and bad intentions, which are quite real. Seeing Ronghui's courage to love and act, she has a father who loves her, with a deep understanding of righteousness in her heart, and her own persistence. She has put righteousness first before discussing personal affairs. In the end, she did not stick to the love of her children, and resolutely went to the border to protect the people and monitor foreign countries. I saw the conflicting royal brothers. The eldest prince and Li Yao had a childhood friendship, but he helped the late emperor persecute Li Yao, and he was deeply thoughtful. There was an inch of goodwill in him. Under the conflict, he made mistakes every step of the way. In the end, he was hacked to death for the sake of his daughter's future. He was a crazy person with a lot of stupidity and little wisdom. He was afraid of and dependent on Li Yao. He did too many stupid things and finally died in a sea of fire. I saw Teacher Zheng's outspokenness, bold advice and caring for the people. It was clear that there was no point in surviving, but because of Jing Ping's few words, he was willing to get back on his feet for Li Yao and the people. He could obviously escape and enjoy the pastoral life, but he spoke cheerful words, boldly gave advice, and finally died in the main hall, ending his life. I saw the queen who was brave as a mother, I saw the prince who felt ashamed of Li Yao because of the past, I saw the high-spirited Chang Huai who could sacrifice his life to make up for his mistakes, I saw the soldiers who could hug grenades with their bodies, I saw the masters who dared to disobey their master and join the world to defend the country... It's a pity that the Li family was known as a traitor, but the family was loyal, loyal to the people, and protected the people. However, they were harmed by the royal family. In exchange for Li Yao's suffering in the first half of his life, he shed all his tears and could not protect anyone. Li Yao was in so much pain that it was hard to imagine that he would reach the beginning of the article step by step and meet Xiao Jingping. Even though he was persecuted until he became disabled, he never changed his original intention. He put justice, family and country first, and was sincere. The Li family taught him very well. It was also because he was so good that he suffered a lot of wastage, experienced all kinds of hardships, and stood in the world with a gentleman's heart. Thank you for the fate that brought the two together. Fortunately, although Jingping is young, he can control himself, respect Li Yao's choice, help him, love him, create a prosperous era, fulfill Li Yao's wish, and keep Li Yao's heart. The relationship between the two people is intense and stable, and their mutual achievements and tolerance are the foundation for them to accompany each other. I believe that from now on, all the hardships will be over and the joy will come, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous.
See you next time, the author! Belated flowers!!!
I'm still thinking about it after reading it. It's a good article worth reading over and over again! I actually don't like to read group portraits and plots. If the author lacks a little bit of skill, the group portraits will either overwhelm the focus or dilute the plot, making the whole article feel too watery. Machiavellian tactics will directly expose the shortcomings of IQ and EQ. The author of this article has no background, but I really like it! Excellent writing style! It's the kind of advanced that can hide wonderful writing behind the plot. Thorough logic! Putting the author in a position of power makes him a Machiavellian. Keep burying the thread from the beginning and then analyze it one by one. There are not many words about the war scenes, but every scene is shocking! From the enemy soldiers to the civilians, from the decision-makers to the cannon fodder, everyone's appearance is actually vivid. This is no longer a level that can only be achieved by good writing skills! Love it so much! Let's not comment on the characters for now. I love it, and I can't stop talking about it. I will pay attention to other works of this author❤️It is a blessing to meet a good author❤️Happy❤️
Hahahahahahaha, this Zhao Sheng is so nervous. He acts very affectionate while being suspicious. What is he being affectionate about?
I'm going to start laughing early!
This father-in-law is also a good person with a kind heart.
It was a hard time for the child, but he was also lucky to have a soft-hearted mother and a soft-hearted brother, a teacher from the same clan, and a gentle royal father. But as long as your original intention remains unchanged, your life will be smooth.
Ah ah ah, I won the prize. When I came back from school today, I saw so many Jinjiang coins and thought it was a bug. I looked at the details and found out that I had won the prize [love eye] [love eye] [love eye] [love eye] [love eye] [love eye] 💪 💪 💪 💪
Finished spreading flowers, see you next time
Zhao Qi: Those two disgusting parents-in-law are lucky they are not my parents, otherwise they would have been ruined.
