[Top-focused, both leads strong, sickly top, mutual devotion, top suffers physically and bottom suffers emotionally]
[Gentle, soft-hearted top Shen Mu, with a heart condition and, later on, a frail body that can't get around well x Gu Ruxing, a bottom whose true nature is unclear, with a hidden-dark side]
While searching for his runaway younger brother, Shen Mu stumbled into a fight and was hit hard enough to become a vegetable. He was bound to the Sage-Emperor Training System 011.
The small world suddenly upgraded, and the protagonist slot became a blur.
According to the plot, Shen Mu was an imperial tutor who held all the power and would eventually die at the hands of the new emperor, setting the empire back on the right path.
The System Bureau let Shen Mu choose the protagonist himself. His mission would be complete once he helped the protagonist ascend the throne.
Fine, if I'm raising a kid, I can do it anywhere, right?
And so Shen Mu went from being a middle school Chinese teacher to a tutor to the princes.
Looking at the group of children before him, he was at a loss.
The eldest prince, Gu Zhixing, was clever and seemed promising.
He'd do.
But Shen Mu hadn't expected to find another child hiding in the study, stealing books.
Gu Hui was the second prince of Dasheng. He had been born only fifteen minutes after the eldest prince, yet even his own family despised him, and the palace servants bullied him.
Shen Mu reached out to him.
"Gu Hui doesn't sound quite right. If Your Highness doesn't mind, may I give you a courtesy name for private use?"
"Do as you like."
"'With jade in one's heart and fine jade in one's hands, a gentleman is like a polished jade.'"
Shen Mu looked at the boy's cold profile and couldn't help stroking his head. "Then I'll call you Gu Ruxing."
[System assessment: Mission failed]
[System rebooting]
Shen Mu watched helplessly as Gu Ruxing charged ahead with a sword in hand, arriving like a god of war.
Gu Zhixing had already been stripped of his imperial robes and dragged aside. Gu Ruxing ignored everyone else, grabbed Shen Mu by the neck, and forced a kiss on him, bringing color to his pale lips.
"Shen Mu, I want you, and I want the empire."
"Don't even think about leaving."
[System rebooted. Identifying protagonist...]
[Protagonist: Gu Ruxing]
[Mission issued: Host, assist Gu Ruxing in becoming a wise emperor]
But Shen Mu was already at his limit. His body had a heart condition to begin with, and years of worry and exhausting labor, coupled with this devastating blow, made him faint.
He just wanted to go home. Why was it so hard?
It turned out Gu Ruxing had known everything all along, including the mission.
"Please, kill me. I really want to go home. My family is waiting for me." Shen Mu was a wretched, feeble mess as he begged with his head resting on Gu Ruxing's knee.
He was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Gu Ruxing's heart was breaking, but his expression remained hard.
"Isn't it better to stay by my side?"
"Teacher, you're all I have."
The soil of the imperial palace couldn't sustain a fragile orchid.
Watching Shen Mu wither away, Gu Ruxing finally understood something.
He would rather never see Shen Mu again than look into his cold eyes.
"Thank you, Ruxing." Shen Mu held Gu Ruxing's hand and slowly guided the dagger into his own chest.
The person in his arms stopped breathing.
Gu Ruxing's voice was very soft. "Shen Mu, you're the kindest person in the world, and also the cruelest."
But I still love you so much.
Synopsis finalized on April 8, 2024.

Romance-focused, both leads are each other's first and only love. The political intrigue is only a small part~

Pre-accepted document: "Never Forget" Gentle and tolerant beauty with long-term illness·Gong (Zhong Nian) & extremely possessive but mature and steady on the surface·Shou (Yan Qiu) - Changing Shou text
When will the extra chapter of Teacher's other book be released? 😳
Just one chapter? Tonic ah ah ah ah ah ah 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
My wife is very attentive, she can feel the entanglement of Gong Bao and the possessiveness of Brother Shou, so there is no need to blame yourself, the writing is super beautiful [star eye][star eye][star eye]
Teacher, are you still writing this book? It's been almost two years and it's still not finished [vomiting blood]
Sir, I will wait 🙏 Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, graduation season is busy, just write slowly 🤗 I will resume later when I am not busy (no wonder I haven't seen the update ww, it turns out to be graduation season)
Both of you. . . . . . Well . . . How can this come true? It's so hard to attack. It's been like this and I haven't been tortured to death 🤔🤔🤔
Oh, look at it, Teacher 🙏 I really like to see the development between two people. They are both very three-dimensional. And I love each other's love for each other!! The mutual love of physical abuse and emotional abuse is really good to watch 😭 😭 Looking forward to the follow-up plot hehe (rubbing hands together)
See what his mother said. . . . Made me smile speechlessly
What are you doing again? I felt sorry for myself when I was a substitute and became the Heavenly Tribulation Attack, and then I reconciled beautifully, right? 🌈🌈🌈
