A Foolish Bunny Lands in a Political Intrigue Novel

[A short story of around 150,000 characters, an ancient-style danmei writing exercise. Screenshots archived on September 18, 2025]

Shen Tu is a little rabbit who failed his tribulation. After transmigrating into a melodramatic novel, he becomes the unlucky cannon-fodder who gets tormented throughout the story.

The real young master, Shen Tu, is the legitimate son of the Marquis's household. But his greedy concubine mother switched him at birth with her own illegitimate son, Shen Jin, who is the protagonist of the original novel.

By the time the little rabbit Shen Tu arrives, the story is nearly over. Covered in wounds, he lies dying in prison. Before he can save himself, the great villain, the Regent, suddenly appears.

The little rabbit perks right up. The man smells so good, just like his favorite carrots!

His injuries leave him dazed. Before he can even react, he throws himself into the villain's arms. Breathing in the comforting fragrance, Shen Tu murmurs, "I like you..."

Weisheng Bei takes Shen Tu back to the Regent's residence and discovers that Shen Tu seems to admire him. He follows him around all day and can't bear to be apart from him.

Weisheng Bei: "..." Weren't the Marquis's illegitimate son supposed to be ruthless and hate homosexuality?

Weisheng Bei agrees to help Shen Tu get revenge, on the condition that Shen Tu personally kill the Marquis to prove his loyalty.

Shen Tu asks in a daze, "Kill the Marquis? Me?"

Weisheng Bei: "..." Weren't the Marquis's illegitimate son supposed to be scheming, best at setting people up and killing them without a trace?

The Regent holds a trap of a banquet, luring the protagonists and the Marquis into his scheme. To make the revenge truly cut deep, he has Shen Tu personally poison the Marquis, planning to reveal that Shen Tu is the real young master while the poison is taking effect but before the Marquis dies.

Halfway through the banquet, Weisheng Bei suddenly feels dizzy. He rushes to call off the plan, only to discover that Shen Tu picked up the wrong poison, taking Spring Rain instead, and accidentally gave him the poisoned wine to drink.

Weisheng Bei: "..." Wasn't Shen Tu supposed to be skilled with poison, even capable of making some toxins undetectable by the imperial physicians?

Who on earth gathered this intelligence?!

Did they get even one thing right?!

The next morning, Weisheng Bei decides that, since he should take responsibility, he will marry Shen Tu. But Shen Tu suddenly disappears, and no matter what Weisheng Bei tries, he can't find a trace of him.

Only then does he understand that he is the one who can't bear to be apart, and that he has been forcing and hurting Shen Tu all along.

Three years later, the neighboring kingdom's prince travels to the Xiao Kingdom as his father's envoy. At the post station, Weisheng Bei sees the person he has missed and thought of for three years, along with... a child in Shen Tu's arms, whom Shen Tu is happily playing with.

He is about to step forward and demand an explanation when Shen Tu affectionately falls into another man's arms. The man holds Shen Tu and the child protectively. They look like a happy family of three.

★ No childbirth, but the little rabbit has a false pregnancy

★ The gong does not actually cause the shou physical harm, but there is a crematorium arc. Don't read if that's not your thing. The shou is always right, whatever he does.

★ A series of monogamous relationships. The shou is not the gong's first time. A silly rabbit shou and a darkened villain gong.

★ The gong spoils the shou from early on. Once he meets the little rabbit, he can't resist no matter how hard he tries. The gong isn't a carrot spirit. Read the story to see what he really is (just kidding).

Theme: Love life and dare to face yourself
