[Welcome!]
[Since you're here, why not add this to your reading list?]
Yan Heng was Prince Yuan'an of Great Chu, sixth among the princes and princesses, and a real troublemaker.
As a child, he climbed onto roofs and pulled off the tiles. As an adult, he killed and set fires. Everyone was terrified of him, and no one dared to provoke him. Anyone who ran into him would take a detour.
Yan Heng didn't care. He had never expected everyone to love him. He had only one wish: to live a good life.
But because of his mother's family's power, his existence had worried his good imperial elder brother since childhood. So only half of Yan Heng's wish could come true: he could just barely keep himself alive.
His good imperial elder brother was determined to make his life difficult and kept finding things for him to do.
One day, his good imperial elder brother said, "Go kill someone for me."
Yan Heng: "No."
His good imperial elder brother (after some thought): "What trouble have you gotten into these past few days?"
Yan Heng (smiling): "Who am I killing?"
The person his good imperial elder brother wanted dead was Xie Chenglan.
The first time Yan Heng met Xie Chenglan, he got beaten up for no reason.
The second time, he was inexplicably shoved into the water.
The third time, he came away with yet another injury.
Who could put up with that?!
Yan Heng sat up in bed in the middle of the night: "Wait, who's killing whom? Is this guy crazy?"
Xie Chenglan was the fourth son of the Duke of Jingguo in Great Chu, and a pretty honest fellow.
For various reasons, Xie Chenglan had grown up in Tingzhou.
He thought he was a fairly good-natured person, until he returned to the royal capital and ran into a troublemaker named Yan Heng. That's when he learned he actually had a temper.
But Yan Heng seemed to be his natural nemesis, always making his anger flare with nowhere to go.
The first time Xie Chenglan met Yan Heng, Yan Heng insulted him in a roundabout way, calling him all brawn and no brains.
The second time they met, no, they didn't actually meet. Yan Heng sent people to ambush him, and they gave him a beating.
The third time they met, Xie Chenglan kindly helped Yan Heng when he was in trouble, only for Yan Heng to tell him to become a thief and even curse him with an early death.
Who could put up with that?!
Xie Chenglan sat up in bed in the middle of the night: "Wait, who's bothering whom? Is this guy crazy?"
At first:
What Yan Heng thought of Xie Chenglan: The absolute worst.
What Xie Chenglan thought of Yan Heng: Sneaky and rotten.
Later:
What Yan Heng thought of Xie Chenglan: He really is quite good at it.
What Xie Chenglan thought of Yan Heng: Still sneaky and rotten.
In short:
Turns out, he's irresistible.
A seemingly harmless but secretly ruthless bottom × an outwardly and inwardly straightforward, simple-minded, supposedly straight top
[A few notes]
1. There will be fighting early on, but they'll be fighting each other.
2. The plot and romance are roughly a 60/40 or 50/50 split.
3. The setting borrows from history, but is fictional. Just enjoy the ride.
4. There might be bonus scenes? (Not sure. If enough people ask, I'll write one.)
5. There will be some angst later on, so protect your little heart...

Anyone here like xianxia? I'm recommending a friend's novel. If you enjoy xianxia, give it a look!
"The Immortal Venerable Keeps Pretending to Love Me" by Jiang Qiemian
Blurb:
A foul-tempered bottom who solves every problem by chopping first and asking questions later × a lofty, aloof top who's a jealous maniac

Yu Zaixi transmigrated.
The good news: It was a xianxia world, and he had entered the body of a young genius.
The bad news: The young genius went against the grain and nearly joined forces with the Demon Venerable to rule the world. He became an outcast of the xianxia world and eventually died by suicide.
And Yu Zaixi, for no reason at all, became the scapegoat and was imprisoned for two hundred years.
After escaping prison, he traveled the human world in search of a way back. Before he could find one, his original body's senior brother emerged from seclusion to find him.
The very same hateful man who had nearly cleaved him in two with a sword when he first arrived.
The man was utterly strange. He knew Yu Zaixi was a soul from another world, yet not only did he refrain from hunting him down, he even indulged him, sometimes putting on a lovesick, wounded expression.
It was so baffling that it made Yu Zaixi uncomfortable.
...He would've been better off dying back then.
[2]
To put it nicely, Yu Zaixi died for the sake of all living beings.
To put it plainly, he carried a demonic seed that posed a huge threat, and everyone else could only feel safe once he was dead.
He died in the slaughtering formation he had set up himself. He was the only one inside it, offering his blood as a sacrifice. Every meridian in his body burst, and he died a gruesome death.
The hundred immortal sects were in an uproar, and after much discussion, the focus turned to Yu Zaixi's senior brother, the elegant Jiang Yan.
Everyone said Yu Zaixi had fallen in love and couldn't have Jiang Yan, so he had taken a dark path and been tainted by the demonic seed. But even in death, he never received Jiang Yan's pity.
But then Jiang Yan took his body back to his sleeping quarters, watched over it for a hundred years, and spent night after night beneath ten miles of red plum blossoms, with only his lonely zither for company.

Peaceful year after year, how can I put it, it is a he but not so he plot, it is really painful. A group of people got together at a certain time, and because of various interests and families, they were forced to plot against each other and massacre. Later, after the incident passed, everything was calm, and it seemed like nothing happened. Only those who have experienced it know this process.
There are only ten chapters left to finish. I am taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to collect the extras that everyone wants to see [Ears]. If there is nothing you want to see, then I will not write it 🥺 (or I will use my free will). Finally, happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! [Spread flowers][spread flowers]
The moon is dark and the wind is high—— Xiao A, who had returned from grazing the cows, had just entered the village entrance when he heard a hair-splitting laughter coming from nowhere. Little A swallowed and rubbed his arms, looking around, trying to find the source of the laughter. At this time, Aunt Liu came back from a walk and saw her standing on the dirt road at the entrance of the village, trembling and not daring to go in, so she went up and asked, "What's wrong, girl?" Xiao A bravely asked her: "Auntie, have you heard laughter?" "Oh, why can't you hear me?" Aunt Liu pointed to a certain household in the village, "Over there! I haven't stopped laughing since today." "Ah?" Xiao A calmed down a little, but still couldn't understand, "Why is she laughing?" Aunt Liu looked left and right, then came closer and said mysteriously: "I heard that her child has been admitted to college! Can you not laugh at that?!" Little A was startled and his eyes widened: "Is it true?" "It's absolutely true," Aunt Liu rubbed her face, showing some relief, "That's the first one in our village to go to college!" Little A looked at the house, her eyes filled with moisture, and listened to the sweet laughter and sighed: "Yes, the first college student..." Aunt Liu sighed, wiped her tears suddenly, and said, "It's been so many years since there was only one like this in the whole village, alas..." "It's okay, there will be more in the future." Xiao A patted her shoulder to comfort her, thinking of something, "By the way, what university did her child get into?" Aunt Liu frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "It seems to be some kind of university..." Little A asked: "Peking University?" Aunt Liu shook her head: "No, no, no, what do you call j..." Little A asked again: "Jinan University?" "No, no..." Aunt Liu racked her brains and suddenly slapped her thigh, "I remembered, it's Jinjiang Literature City VIP University!"
Finished spreading flowers! I am very happy to witness the completion of a high-quality ancient-style Machiavellian article in JJ! I haven't commented before, but I jumped in and took a look and have been following up since! I also wish our prince and fourth master peace and success! (In the end, the small theater always gave me a sense of déjà vu, as if I was watching the finale of a TV series with group portraits and the classic lines of the characters were played in turn.) Thank you to the author for the high-quality and beautiful article!
Ah ah ah, the collection of this book has exceeded 300, can it be added to v? I really hope this can be clipped. I will definitely order all of them 💪
Really, I thought about wiping away a thousand worries with a smile, and thought about reconciliation between two people, but I never thought that it would be like this in the end [Tickling cheek] Alas
Don't tell me that our Xiaoliu is indeed handsome.
Wait a minute. What did I miss?? Why isn't it the first time? That time in Beiting? When did it happen in Jizhou???
Glasses, by the way, I am 1100 degrees short-sighted.
Baby, congratulations on becoming V!!!!!
