A gong who seems to be suffering unwanted advances but is actually half willing x a shou who appears every inch an emperor but is actually a tsundere puppy
As a deputy general of the Chongmeng Kingdom's army, Shi Yannian has always kept his father's teachings close to heart: he swore to remain loyal to the emperor.
But one day, he is made the rebel leader, and can only watch helplessly as His Majesty, Chu Yueheng, falls from the city wall...
From then on, one man loses his life, and the other loses his soul.
Given another life, Shi Yannian decides to stay by the emperor's side and protect him.
Chu Yueheng, however, has this to say...
Get lost! Who wants to uphold the rules between ruler and subject with you? Get over here and hold me, understand?
A little scene:

Chu Yueheng scoffs.

"..."
Also known as His Majesty, This Is Not Proper
