On the first day of the job,
the protagonist, Wen Tian, falls in front of the young master's car in a torrential downpour.
He Xingluo: Run out and save him!

On the tenth day of the job,
Wen Tian is drugged and set up. After being rescued, he comes to offer his thanks.
He Xingluo: OvO
The young master remains unmoved, coldly reminding Wen Tian to pay him back. The medical bill is 32,000 yuan.
He Xingluo: ...Wait, is this right?
On the Nth day of the job,
He Xingluo can't hold back and asks, "Young Master, do you really not like Wen Tian?"

Title: Becoming the Princes' Greatest Threat
Blurb:
Pei Mingxia is the darling of the entire capital. The talented young men of Huajing confide in him, while the generals regard him, the marshal's only son, as a living tiger tally and are utterly loyal to him.
The emperor personally raises Pei Mingxia by his side, and the princes are his study companions. He can basically get away with anything, wherever he goes.
One morning, Pei Mingxia wakes up to discover that he's the cannon-fodder villain in a historical novel. His ultimate fate is to die in the princes' power struggle, then have his grave dug up and his corpse exhumed.
After thinking it over, Pei Mingxia decides he's pretty much doomed. He's already offended every single prince.
A year ago, at the spring imperial examinations, Pei Mingxia came top of the list, beating the cousin personally tutored by the eldest prince.
Six months ago, Pei Mingxia investigated a murder and traced it to the prospective father-in-law of the second prince. The man killed himself at home.
A month ago, the emperor sent the third prince to suppress bandits. He lost ten thousand soldiers in three months and was captured.
Pei Mingxia rescued him with a mere thirty cavalrymen, and it was a piece of cake. Pei Mingxia came away without a scratch, while the third prince was so badly frightened that he's still recovering.
The sixth prince is the worst of all. They are about the same age, and the emperor loves to praise Pei Mingxia while putting the sixth prince down.
The sixth prince has taken the teacher's ruler for him and covered for his mistakes. Pei Mingxia takes the prince's blanket for his naps, insists on winning at archery every time, and always makes him drink the goat milk he doesn't like.
There are too many things Pei Mingxia has done to count. They've been estranged for two years, and he can't for the life of him remember why.
Pei Mingxia sums up his reputation: the apple of the entire court's eye, the princes' greatest threat, and the first person anyone who takes the throne will kill.
So he decides: he'll become someone they can't kill! His goal: a seat in the cabinet within three years, grand chancellor within five. The princes have too much free time, so he'll put them all to work! The realm has only enjoyed a few years of peace. Have the common people even had a chance to eat their fill before everyone starts making trouble?
The Pei household is thriving, and the court is flourishing!
Whenever the princes make a move, they're sent off to help build the country! A peaceful and prosperous realm is just around the corner!
A glimpse into the princes' thoughts
The eldest prince scolds his cousin: "If you can't even beat him in the exams, how are you supposed to win Pei Mingxia over for me?"
The second prince fumes: "Will Pei Mingxia think I covered for my future father-in-law and can't separate public duty from private feelings?"
The third prince completely breaks down: "What do I do? Pei Mingxia doesn't think I'm brave and mighty at all anymore. I'm ruined!"
The sixth prince despises the eyes fixed on Pei Mingxia and wants Pei Mingxia to have eyes for him alone.
It's an ambitious goal. First things first, how can he get Pei Mingxia to talk to him again?

***Blurb posted on 2024/12/17
One-on-one romance, happy ending. The protagonist is adored by everyone, in friendship, family, and courtly life alike. The plot makes up half the story. The style is similar to another historical danmei novel in my collection.
Theme: Build a healthy outlook on love!
I tolerated giving them money, and treated them as if we were done with each other from now on, but I really couldn't understand why they were allowed to attend the wedding on one of the most important days of Luo Luo's life. Really, I choked in my heart and was so angry that I didn't think it was bad luck to see them. Why should I let them come to Luo Luo before they were brought down? The quagmire of half a lifetime appeared at the wedding, like leaving a stain on this perfect wedding. Shouldn't the wedding be a new beginning? Why are they still there? It's so unbearable, so unbearable that I couldn't sleep at three in the morning. The sweetness of the wedding later in this chapter can't match the anger of being hit at the beginning 💔
I don't know how to deal with it in the future. After giving out 210,000, I will give another 1 million? Shou was told to cut ties with 210,000 yuan at the beginning. What do you want from the relatives who brought down Shou for the first half of his life? What kind of treatment is this? One million is not a small amount of money for this vicious family, it is still a waste. Anyway, I don't understand [question mark]
Finished spreading flowers! The young couple was sweet and at ease. However, I am not satisfied with the handling of Shou's family. It is understandable that they spend money to eliminate disasters, but they almost brought down Shou's first half of his life. There is no need to pay any price. In the early stage of Shou, Shou was very talkative, even if he said a few words of ridicule. On the contrary, as long as the family behaves well, they can continue to suck blood and get money. I want to ask if the treatment of the affected family members will be mentioned later in the episode.
Has it been like this twice? Did you choose to compromise with Wen Tian's vampire brother and Shou's vampire brother? There are obviously more satisfying solutions, such as being thrown into jail directly for extortion... It's really annoying to compromise twice and let the wedding be stained with death.
So who are Xiaowen and Xiaoxia? Is AI awakening? [Question mark]
A little too kind to Ye Man
Are there any extras?!! [Good Luck Lotus]
It's so disgusting. How could there be such a person? Is he the only one who is pitiful? There are thousands of patients in the world, and there are some who are more serious than him and more pitiful than him. What does his brother owe him? It must be worse and worse than now to set off his good, is that okay?
It feels like everything has been explained. If I just need to explain Xiao Wen and Xiao Xia again, they can finish it, right [Let Me Kangkang]
Does it include HE? [Covers face and peeks] I was thinking that I was just going to give you a wedding, but you told me that the wedding was going to be cancelled.
