Ancient-era danmei
Romance
They met when they were five. They'd agreed to play in the mud together, but Shen You secretly studied behind Song Bai's back. Song Jiangche was so frustrated with his son's lack of ambition that he raised Shen You as if he were his own son. By the time they were twenty, Song Bai had become the city's most notorious flirt, while Shen You insisted, "I don't know him. Don't look at me." Yet Song Bai kept saying flirtatious things to him every day. Shen You held back his urge to hit him and warned, "If you say one more dirty thing to me, I'll kick you." Song Bai replied, "I just want a kiss. What's wrong with that?"
Plot
When Song Bai was little, he got lost after causing trouble, and Qin Yingying led him to the back garden.
In the garden, Song Bai was picking flowers (this is needed for the plot. In real life, take care of flowers and plants) when he saw someone trying to bully Shen You. He wanted to play the hero, but Shen You didn't need him at all.
After beating the bully, Shen You saw Song Bai and thought he'd missed one of them while fighting. (Sorry, it's needed for the plot. [Fists clasped]) So he beat Song Bai too.
Afterward, Song Bai explained what had happened, and Shen You realized he'd hit the wrong person. He awkwardly apologized.
Fifteen years later, they were childhood friends. Song Bai didn't want to marry and have children, so he promised Song Jiangche he'd study hard and become an honest official.
There's plenty of corruption in the imperial court, so Song Bai and Shen You join forces with Li Yi, who has just become emperor, to reform it.
Song Bai and Shen You no longer want to get involved in court affairs, so they resign at the same time and retire to the mountains.
Song Bai occasionally takes Shen You on trips around the country.
The bottom isn't weak! Both are ordinary men, neither is feminine!
Flirty top x "serious" bottom
A clichéd, melodramatic story, and the writing is still in its infancy. If you stop liking it or feel uncomfortable halfway through, cut your losses and have a pleasant read! The title was changed midway, so the story may have inconsistencies.
Theme: Love life and stay positive
