[Song Dynasty + Seven Heroes and Five Gallants] This Prince's Job Is No Easy Feat Bai Yutang x Zheng Yun (original male lead): bickering couple; he tricks a Magnificent Rat into falling for him. Blurb: Bai Yutang presses his sword to Zheng Yun and grits his teeth. “Say that again. What did you say your name was?!” Zheng Yun remains calm and answers evenly, “Bao Mian. Bao as in bun, Mian as in diligent.” Bai Yutang scoffs. “But I just heard someone call you Yun'er.” Zheng Yun denies everything. “You must have misheard.” Bai Yutang flies into a rage. “You liar!” A glint of mischief flashes in Zheng Yun's eyes. “I only want to steal your heart.” Bai Yutang's heart skips a beat. The tip of his sword lowers without him realizing it, but he still refuses to back down. “All talk, no action!” Zheng Yun chuckles, his gaze wandering. “My mouth isn't the only thing that's hard.” [Five years later] “Bang!” The storyteller slams his block on the table and launches into the tale: “Back in the day, Emperor Shizong of Zhou, the founding emperor of our dynasty, and Zheng En, Prince of Beiping, swore brotherhood at Huangtupo and became as close as brothers. Emperor Shizong bestowed the title of Prince of Beiping upon Zheng En, and the founding emperor solemnly promised that the title would pass down through the Zheng family forever.” At the words “Prince of Beiping,” Bai Yutang stops in his tracks. “The title has now passed down to the third generation. The current Prince of Beiping is surnamed Zheng, with the given name Yun.” Hearing the name of the man he loves, Bai Yutang can't help smiling tenderly. The storyteller gets more and more carried away, describing Zheng Yun's achievements in extravagant terms. “Though still young, the Prince of Beiping has won one great victory after another! He pacified Western Xia, reclaimed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, excelled in both civil and military affairs, and subdued demons and monsters. He is truly the greatest and most virtuous prince in history!” Zheng Yun waves a hand, being very modest. “That's nothing. The greatest honor of my transmigration to the Song Dynasty was meeting Bai Yutang.” Hearing this, Bai Yutang's smile deepens. [Reader advisory] The top appears early, but he and the bottom don't properly meet until relatively late. Bai Yutang complains with a hint of grievance, “Boohoo, why couldn't I meet my darling right at the start?” Onlookers tease him. “Try reading the title again.” Bai Yutang sighs helplessly. “This prince's job is no easy feat...” [Bonus skit] Zheng Yun winks at Bai Yutang, his voice low. “Fifth Master, last night we shared a night of passion. You have to take responsibility for me.” Bai Yutang furrows his brow and thinks for a long time, then looks completely baffled. “I really don't remember any of it.” Tears well in Zheng Yun's eyes, his expression full of grievance. “Fifth Master, how could you treat me like this?!” Bai Yutang smiles, running his fingers lightly over the back of Zheng Yun's hand. “Let's do it again. If I remember it this time, I'll take responsibility for you.” Zheng Yun: “...I was wrong. Actually... maybe...” Bai Yutang eagerly leans closer, their breaths mingling. “Don't talk. Let's get started~” 2. Solving Mysteries with a Prince (sequel to this novel) Zhu Yongxian x Qiu Zhi: Two hopeless romantics, a husband-and-husband detective duo head to Huizhou to solve a case.
