Captured by the Crown Prince After My Escape

Please add my next historical BL novel, After Hearing the Dragon Proud's Inner Thoughts, to your collection! The blurb is at the bottom. 1. The day Xie Nian was born, dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder and lightning raged. The Imperial Astrologer declared that he was an ill omen who would bring disaster upon the nation. The emperor heard this, waved his sleeve, and left. For the next decade or so, he ignored Xie Nian as if he had never been born. To avoid becoming a pawn in the struggle for imperial power, Xie Nian dressed as a girl and lived in the palace in constant fear, treading on thin ice. Others thought his birth too lowly and kept their distance. Only Xie Gaochan was somewhat close to him. When they were young, Xie Nian had dared to follow him around, calling him "Big Brother Crown Prince" at every turn. Now, whenever he met Xie Gaochan, Xie Nian only dared to lower his eyes, bow, and murmur, "Your Highness." Xie Nian didn't dare offend the Crown Prince. He only hoped that Xie Gaochan would remember their old affection and say a few kind words to the emperor when Xie Nian married, so he might be given a good match. The emperor had been in a good mood lately and promised him to the year's top successful candidate in the palace examination. On the day he came of age, Xie Nian wore a phoenix crown and red wedding robes. His features were like a painting, and his beauty dazzling. On his wedding night, Xie Nian waited calmly for the groom to lift his veil. The red cloth before his eyes was lifted, but the face he saw belonged to Xie Gaochan. His features were sharp, his eyes dark and glossy. His expression was calm, but Xie Nian always sensed a faint madness beneath that calm exterior. Xie Gaochan looked at him tenderly, his fingertips brushing Xie Nian's cheek as he spoke in a low, husky voice. "Niannian, why haven't you been good?" "Why did you marry someone else... Have you forgotten our promise?" 2. [Not related by blood] Pure-hearted, gentle, straightforward shou x gloomy, obsessive gong who's assertive but easily flustered The couple's nickname is Nian Gao! After Hearing the Dragon Proud's Inner Thoughts The shou transmigrates into a book, becoming the ill-fated master in a classic master-disciple novel who is destined to be [beeped] by his darkened disciple. The shou: "..." But I'm straight! He tries to negotiate with the System. "Do I really have to follow this plot? What if I become sworn brothers with the protagonist right now? Is it too late?" System 220 offers a few words of comfort. "Host, there's no need to worry. The System has replaced the contents of the original novel. The protagonist is now a proper Dragon Proud. You will guide him as his master." Phew, why didn't you say so sooner? The shou relaxes and devotes himself to teaching the protagonist. They explore secret realms together, protect each other during breakthroughs, turn away the admirers who come flocking, and share everything they've learned. At last, he watches with satisfaction as the protagonist becomes the most powerful person beneath the Ascension Realm. As usual, he walks up and pats the gong on the shoulder. "Not bad. Well done." The gong stares at him. His lips haven't moved, but the shou hears the gong's voice in his mind. "... His waist is so slender." The shou: "?" Am I hearing things? But the gong steps forward first, wraps an arm around the shou's slender, pale waist, and gazes steadily into his eyes. "Is that all? Aren't you going to reward me, Master?" The shou: "???" At the same time, a cold mechanical voice, completely unlike his own System, speaks in his mind. "System 287 has a duty to remind you that your target is deeply calculating and has yet to reveal that he has a System. Host, do not let your guard down." "It's fine," the gong's amused voice rings out again. "Look, he's so startled he can't move." The shou: "???" 1. Scheming, stoic gong x sharp-tongued, pure-hearted shou. 2. Or perhaps you could describe them as a fake straight guy who's really a Dragon Proud x a fake Dragon Proud who's really straight (.) 3. My take on cultivation. No serious plot, probably just a two-person romance. Theme: Strive for a beautiful life.
