Five years ago, the entire Jiang household was executed, shaking the Great Liang Dynasty. The balance of power in the capital shifted, and a new favorite of fortune emerged, inspiring envy and fear in countless people. Even the emperor deferred to him.
Rumor had it that he rose to power by selling his looks, and had affairs with many powerful figures.
Gu Tingzhi said lazily, "If you catch anyone spreading gossip, kill them. There's no need to tell me."
His subordinate, kneeling before him, nodded in trepidation.
After dealing with some trivial matters, Gu Tingzhi bent down to kiss the forehead of the person in his arms. The person turned away in disgust. Gu Tingzhi lifted his chin and chuckled. "Do you think I'm dirty?"
The person bit down on his teeth and replied coldly, "I wouldn't dare."

At a grand banquet in the capital, Chief Minister Gu attended with a male lover. Though the young man wore a veil, his beauty still provoked a wave of discussion.
"You can tell from his figure alone that he's a rare beauty."
"The only one who could rival Chief Minister Gu's male companion is that young master of the Jiang family."
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said frivolously, "Young Master Jiang may be dead, but his reputation as a beauty lives on. If he were still alive, I'd certainly sample his charms."
Everyone fell silent at once, terrified. Who didn't know that Chief Minister Gu had once been a servant of the Jiang family, and had risen in the world by betraying his former master?
The young man stared coldly at Gu Tingzhi, who was laughing and chatting, his nails digging into his flesh until blood welled up.
Everyone wondered how a male lover dared to look at him with such hatred, unaware that the young man was the very Young Master Jiang Gu Tingzhi had just mentioned!
