Yu Kezhou is the third male lead, a crown prince, in a danmei novel, while the protagonist, a shou, is his universally adored study companion.
With the role of a devoted crown prince in hand, he should have no interest in beauty and be cold as ice, opening his heart only to his childhood friend, the young companion at his side. He would weather the open and covert attacks of the other factions to protect him as he made his mark at court and on the battlefield, then watch him retire to a life of seclusion with the great general, left behind with only a bitter ache he couldn't let go of...
But he learned about all this ahead of time.
A man abducted him to a rooftop, spoiled his entire life, then asked with great enthusiasm if he could let go now.
Yu Kezhou froze on the spot.
Even though his companion was the one he loved, if the love was unrequited, how could he...
Wait.
"Did I ascend the throne before they left?"
The man: "No."
"..."
He couldn't let go! They weren't allowed to leave! The companion and the great general were both staying right here!
Help! Me! Ascend! The Throne!
