Name: The Beloved Little Brat
Author: Yancheng Taishousheng

Synopsis

As the capital's number-one spoiled brat, Zhong Baozhu spends every day…

Eating and drinking, playing and having fun, and trading blows and insults with Wei Xiao.

When she wins, she gloats. When she loses, she runs to her censor brother to complain.

As the capital's joint number-one spoiled brat, Wei Xiao spends every day…

Climbing trees to catch birds, fishing in the river, and getting into fights with Zhong Baozhu.

When he wins, he struts around showing off. When he loses, he asks his crown prince brother to teach him martial arts.

Until one night, they both have the same dream…

It turns out the world they live in is a story called Stabilizing the Realm!

The story follows the Crown Prince and the Censor as they work in harmony, join forces to root out corrupt officials, win the people's support, plan military campaigns, repel foreign enemies, and unite the realm for countless generations.

And they, as the younger brothers of the story's two protagonists… spend all day fighting crickets and riding horses, neglecting their duties, eating their fill and sleeping in. They're two thoroughly foolish young brats who eventually get captured by the villain and hung from the city wall to threaten the protagonists!

Never mind. My brother wouldn't just abandon me!

Zhong Baozhu and Wei Xiao shoot to their feet and charge off to find each other.

“My brother is a censor!”

“My elder brother is the crown prince!”

“My brother is brilliant!”

“My elder brother is as strong as a tiger!”

“My brother can read five books in a day!”

“My elder brother can eat five buckets of rice in one meal!”

“My brother is the protagonist!”

“My elder brother is the protagonist's love interest!”

The two young brats face off while their brothers work to stabilize the realm and set the record straight.

“I'm not! I didn't! You two go play somewhere else!”

·Thirteen-year-old childhood friends, being a little childish is perfectly normal

·Baozhu is her nickname; Wei Xiao is his full name

Premise: Even a disposable background character can find happiness of their own!

I read pretty much anything. POV preferences: no CP ≈ bottom-centric > romance > top-centric ≈ yuri. Style preferences: plot > writing > genre > illustrations.

Seme Who Dotes on His Adored Shou

I like loyal, handsome semes paired with beautiful, strong, tragic ukes who take control of the situation. I like it when the seme's feelings are stronger than the uke's, and when both the plot and romance are well constructed.

Mutual devotion, leaning toward the shou. My only requirements are a faithful gong and a gong who dotes on the shou. I'll read any genre.

Court Intrigue, Wuxia, and Power Plays

Mostly historical fantasy settings, though I won't necessarily file them under historical fiction. The focus is on the imperial court and palace. There may be some jianghu or wuxia stories, but the court should make up more of the novel overall.

Great Reads

I skipped some chapters and paid for most of them. I didn't pay for the chapters I wasn't interested in. Seriously, why limit my five-star ratings, then not count them toward the actual rating?

For Myself: I Love Shipping Couples, Especially Bottoms

Give me all the beautiful-but-broken bottoms, cute bottoms, and adored, strong bottoms! Dealbreakers: promiscuous tops and side characters who like the top. Bonus points if the bottom isn't the top's first partner, or if the bottom is mildly popular with everyone.

Books I Personally Enjoyed, Mostly Completed

I tend to prefer pairings where the bottom is favored. I don't read pointless angst aimed at either partner, and I prefer both characters to be well-rounded. I leave out controversial titles. (I don't remember some of the books I read years ago very well, but I'll do my best to avoid spoilers.)

Fully Purchased, Rated 9 or Above: Bottom-Protagonist Stories, Part 1

It's been so long since I read many of these that I don't remember the plots, so I'm filling in the ratings first. I'll add comments as I reread them, though they'll be extremely subjective ramblings. I generally don't read alternate-universe stories.
