Blurb:
Yuan Shangan, a ruthless henchman to a treacherous minister, has always been a controversial figure. People say he is cold and heartless, merciless in his methods, with countless lives on his hands.
From the young heir to the throne to former fellow disciples, from heroes of the martial world to mountain bandits, countless people throughout the land have declared that they want him dead, so they can use his blood to comfort the wronged loyalists in the afterlife.
Yuan Shangan is used to it. But one day, an assassination shatters the peace and draws him into a baffling case. Only then does he realize he's been caught up in this game for a long time. If he wants to survive, he has no choice but to fight for his life.
He resolves to counter each move as it comes, enter the game alone, and make himself a chess piece, all in the hope of wresting half a move from fate.
The first step in his plan is to seek out his foster brother, Yuan Suchen, whom he hasn't seen in years, and form an alliance with him.
Rumor has it that Yuan Suchen is cold-blooded and vengeful, takes the greatest pleasure in tormenting evildoers, and is utterly vile and incorrigible.
While everyone else gives him a wide berth, Yuan Shangan is utterly unafraid. He even uses himself as bait, carefully advancing one step at a time, solely to draw Yuan Suchen into joining forces with him, sharing both fortune and ruin.
He thought he was in control of the game, only to be outmaneuvered by Yuan Suchen. By the time he realized what had happened, it was already impossible for him to escape Yuan Suchen's side.
Yuan Suchen pulled him close and asked, "Isn't marriage a more reliable bond than an alliance?"
Having been sent to the capital as a hostage when he was young, Yuan Suchen is naturally not as simple as others imagine. The powerful men who press him at every turn and the conspiracies that interlock awaken ever-greater ambition in him, making him realize just how vital power and status are to him.
He must not only enter the game alone and fight for victory, but also protect his father and Yuan Shangan, and mend the heavens with blood to turn the tide.
"...I hate this world. With even a little power in hand, it's so easy to grind a person to dust. But that's exactly why I have to become the most powerful minister in Great Wei, end the flames of war, and reunify the land. Perhaps one day I'll die, or perhaps I'll lose, but no one can erase my achievements or my name. Centuries from now, someone will brush away the dust and set the record straight."
But the centuries stretch on, and standing alone at the top is always immeasurably lonely.
He took Yuan Shangan's hand and said with a smile, "In this vast land and this war-torn age, wouldn't it be far too lonely and dull without you, Yuan Shangan?"
Besides bearing humiliation and hardship to kill traitors and serve his country, Yuan Shangan has another secret buried deep in his heart.
Ever since he was young, he has always admired the most dazzling young man on the grasslands.
And here's a little skit to give everyone a sense of Yuan Suchen's state of mind:
Yuan Suchen: As long as I'm alive, you lot will always be nothing but lowly mistresses!!!
Yuan Shangan: ? (I was under the impression I wasn't planning on keeping a lover, JPG)
Yuan Suchen: I want to kill people every day, but I don't. That means I'm saving the world every day.
"What are you doing?"
Yuan Suchen: "Killing someone. You're next."
Yuan Suchen: People say brothers are like limbs. I love Yuan Shangan, so I suppose I must have a foot fetish.
Yuan Shangan: ?

Wait While I Come Up with a New Blurb.
But when he didn't want to withdraw his hand, he accidentally rubbed it against his chest. The touch on the back of his hand made him couldn't help but look down. It didn't matter at this glance, Yuan Suchen discovered that these two areas of his were actually very different from others. They were naturally sunken inward, and I'm afraid it would take someone's hands to rub them out slowly. ... Or, lick and bite slowly with your lips and teeth. Yuan Suchen was startled for a moment, but instead of withdrawing his hand, he went up and pinched it by mistake. In an instant, it was as if a small electric current passed through his body very quickly, causing Yuan Shang'an to tremble. For a moment, he didn't realize what Yuan Su Chen was doing, but allowed him to continue his actions. ... It feels a little itchy, and seems to be a little sore... The feeling that he had never experienced before spread everywhere, and Yuan Shang'an was in a daze for a moment. He stretched out his hand to subconsciously hold something, his fingers grabbed Yuan Suchen's shoulder, and his joints closed involuntarily. The two of them got closer and closer, and the remaining hand touched the strong and tight muscles of Yuan Suchen's chest and abdomen, and the perfect curve of her waist made him unable to let go. The face that he had longed for for fifteen years was now so close at hand. Yuan Shangan also forgot the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy that he had practiced since childhood. For a moment, he just wanted to touch his lips.
About Shanshan: 1. The height setting is 177cm, but most of his contemporaries are not particularly tall. In addition, he is very thin, has good posture, and can wear a crown, so he still looks very good. 2. Can play the flute and flute. Singing is actually quite nice. 3. Proficient in Xianbei and Chinese. Sometimes I play encrypted calls with Yuan Suchen in Xianbei dialect. 4. Not only is he good at playing chess and cards, but Yuan Suchen is not very good at playing cards (...). Once when the two of them were playing cards, Yuan Suchen lost ten games in a row, and Yuan Shangan teased him, "If you continue to play, you will have to take off your pants." Yuan Shang'an usually just smiles when winning against others, but he will be very happy when winning over Yuan Suchen (...), Happily counting money while patting Yuan Suchen and laughing. (Yuan Shang'an: The silly boy gave me money again, Bushi) (Yuan Suchen: Can't smile a little) 5. Yes, actually Yuan Shangan has a very low point of laughter... The main reason why he was sent out to stand by Teacher Yue before was because he laughed too loudly. 6. I also like to joke with others, but I will be careful not to embarrass the other person. 7. The calligraphy is also good, to the extent that it can be sold for a fortune. 8. I play with flowers and plants in my spare time. When I was a child, I never thought about getting married or raising children. My biggest wish was to raise cats and dogs. At first, I didn't quite understand why Yuan Suchen described himself as a fox, but everyone seemed to recognize and accept it. So Yuan Suchen was compared to a "arrogant little wolf cub, who likes to raise his tail when he is proud." 9. Will carry poison with me just in case. If something goes wrong, I will take poison to keep the secret. In a sense, he may indeed be cruel, but it's all directed at himself.
Yuan Suchen: There are five kinds of spicy food in the world, mild spicy, medium spicy, spicy, spicy, and spicy! (No)
The author of Caicai writes a word for health tea Original song: Don't ask about separation The lyrics are as follows: I lament that the ups and downs are endless How many rises and falls have been written in the annals of history, and I have not stopped writing. The autumn rain and cold wind come again Blow away all traces of the past Who will mention the past events again? A banquet for all officials in Luojing to celebrate The extreme of being alone and serving others The youth of the past did not know the date of return I lament the rise and fall, the ebb and flow In troubled times, there are too many separations to mention There will be no future meeting at the foot of Liangzhou City That day the fire that shot up into the sky will be unforgettable I sigh that desert grassland will eventually become a memory This time I go to Luoyang for thousands of miles with no return date. The prosperous times, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty, whitewashing the peace The once beautiful rivers and mountains are in ruins Taihang Mountain reorganizes troops Make plans to conquer all directions The chaos and war ceased Entering Luoyang and holding the emperor hostage All ministers bowed their heads and obeyed orders I wish to reunite all nine states in this life I hope that the prosperous age will be peaceful and the sea will be clear and the river will be clear I am willing to work with you to resolve the troubled times and follow the history. I once wished to recast Jinou and Liuhe Ningyi In a daze, all are old memories I sigh that the ups and downs are endless How many rises and falls have been written in the annals of history, and I have not stopped writing. The past fades away, the autumn wind rises again, and old friends gradually leave All reduced to a few words in history I sigh that the verbal abuse has never stopped After a hundred generations, who can comment on the merits and demerits of the past? The passage of time, right and wrong, reputation and reputation, who mentioned it again? Eventually, it will flow eastward with the great river.
I feel like I can tell that Qiao and Shanshan are not in love. Is it the kind of feeling of sympathy (?) For people who are similar to you, and feel sympathy for each other? (Isn't it not good to use it in friendship?) In other words, you are similar to me, but you are greater than me.
I understand Shuangyuan because of their youthful friendship and their cooperation as adults, their tacit understanding with each other is much better than other CPs I have written about. They are the kind of people who can tell each other what they mean by just looking at each other, and there is no need to say much. Therefore, I think the twists and turns in their relationship do not come from "when they realized they were in love", but whether their affection can withstand constant tests. Conspiracies and ambitions are intertwined in the court, and Yuan Suchen and Yuan Shangan are destined to face choices at all times. In fact, I have already written in my article that Yuan Suchen's ancestors chose the latter between a desperate struggle for power and the love of their relatives, and paid the price with their lives for it. This will also be a proposition that Yuan Suchen cannot escape from in the future. Should he choose to follow his ambition and press forward step by step for power, or should he choose to give up his status and ambition and take a step back for his beloved, even if he is broken into pieces? When you are destined to only choose one of the two, which one will you keep? This is the question that accompanies Yuan Suchen throughout his life in the book. By the way, I didn't change too much when adapting this paragraph. It is basically similar to the real experience of Nanliang in history. The prototype of Yuan Suchen's grandfather in the article responded to this question in history by saying, I am old and would rather die seeing my wife. When I looked up the information and found this paragraph, I was a little emotional, so when I wrote it, I didn't change much and kept the basic original appearance. The two people have different feelings about the grievances and feelings of the previous generation, which also leads to differences in their personalities. Yuan Suchen has experienced the pain of country subjugation. What he sensed in his parents' feelings was betrayal, capriciousness, blood and killing, and hatred between the country and the family. He himself is the product of this blood feud, or in other words, his life has been a time of chaos. This also makes him very resistant to establishing very close relationships with others, and it is also difficult for him to express his feelings to other people as an adult. So my understanding of him is that he is a typical person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. His character is different from the characters I have written in the past. For the characters in the past, I rarely wrote about their shortcomings or negative things. Even if they have some small flaws, they are often the kind that make people think they are cute. For example, Su Moqiu is a scumbag, and Jiang Yuzhou loves to complain and doesn't like studying. Yuan Suchen's writing style is different from the previous writing, which can be regarded as a challenge for myself. I wanted to see if I could write a more three-dimensional and complex character. Regarding Yuan Suchen, my initial idea came from a word, which has mixed reputations. A man for whom no final conclusion can be made, and a man about whom even after many years, people will still argue endlessly when talking about him. But he himself never cares about these comments. Even if he is lucky enough to learn about them, he will mostly laugh them off. No matter what others say, they will not change the path he has decided on. Maybe you can say he is cruel, maybe you can also say he is cold-blooded. But looking back at the era he lived in, you will find that no one could do better than him in the environment at that time. Based on this idea, I started designing his character. I think such a person should be quite confident, talented, aloof and determined, and will never give in easily. Correspondingly, such a person should also have outstanding appearance and easily attract the attention of others. So I designed him with two characteristics: good looks and a tendency to make fun of others. I divided his life into three volumes: upper, middle and lower volumes. In the first volume, he was still a vibrant young man, so I chose to show more of his funny and smart side. Of course, he will change as the plot develops, so I won't spoil more here for now. I sincerely hope that when everyone sees the last part, they can feel that he is not the same as he was at the beginning. Maybe I will also show some negative things in his character. I imagine that all this comes from his childhood experience. Who would have thought that parents who were once close friends would suddenly turn into enemies one day? This bloody feud was unforgettable to him, and made him fear and hate betrayal from then on. What is the purpose of everyone who comes close to you? Everyone who keeps saying they are willing to be loyal to themselves will one day backfire for the greater good? He didn't know the answer, and neither did anyone. After all, no one had the ability to read minds and predict the future. I have also imagined how Yuan Suchen would feel when he looked back on his future after becoming a powerful minister. I thought about it a lot, but I found that emotion, melancholy, pain, and pride were not his. For him, I am afraid it is still the same sentence, leaving it up to future generations to comment.
Although this is not orthopedics, I still think of the orthopedics one Orthopedics, even if we break up after a quarrel, we still have to sit down and have dinner together ()
Boss, please go slower. My speed of updating articles can hardly keep up with yours.
After searching about the compatibility of these two characters, I laughed to death (what) most of the night. It feels like the original. (Convinced) The following content comes from a certain alphabet website video, and I selected a few of them. Just watch it for fun, I'm not a psychology major. 😳 ENTP from an INTJ perspective: White and black, hot on the outside and cold on the inside, jumping repeatedly between silly* and cute and enjoying themselves, loving to play, dramatist, suspected of ADHD, looking smart every day, but in fact very purposeful and rational and calm, Schrödinger's He is reliable, talks nonsense to others, likes to jump in thinking, and likes to tell hell jokes when comforting others. He is humorous, lively and enthusiastic, but maybe he is just pretending, loves to have fun, has no patience with idiots, and it is difficult to predict what sword he is about to sell. It's so funny how you can do it exactly the same. [Gotou] I really think Yuan Shangan sees Yuan Suchen this way. [][] Thanks to the personality test for letting me eat a big meal in the middle of the night (what)
To give everyone a shot, health-preserving tea is actually a hidden secret (opposite finger). I hope everyone will not be frightened by his mental state in the future. If so, I will say something private about Marseille. [Hands together] But there is a saying that what he likes is torturing evil people. In a sense, this is... The light of the right path(?)
