Pretty Boy X Little Tyrant, younger man, equally matched
Tuoba Yuanxu, the eldest prince of the Liang Kingdom, was sent to the Great Duan Empire as a hostage at the age of eleven. His life as a hostage was precarious, so he had no choice but to put on the mask of a "flirtatious beauty" to protect himself.
Jiang Yanzhou, the young lord and little tyrant of the western borderlands, arrives in the capital one day. Claiming to be "ridding the people of a menace," he deliberately approaches Tuoba Yuanxu, hoping to expose the pretty boy's mask of "fake flirt, real scoundrel."
Jiang Yanzhou's eyes redden at the corners. "Do you think I'm stupid, a laughingstock...? In your eyes, I'm just a pathetic pest you can't get rid of, someone who makes you sick, aren't I? You don't have to drive me away. I'll leave right now..."
Is he playing hard to get, or is he speaking from the heart?
Tuoba Yuanxu: "We're done. It's over. Young Lord, stop being so full of yourself and making a fool of yourself. You need to know when to hold on and when to let go."
Is he cold and heartless, or just saying the opposite of what he feels?
In the midst of their tangled relationship, they are unexpectedly swept into the struggle for imperial power in the Great Duan Empire, and the truth behind Tuoba Yuanxu's life as a hostage is revealed!
A relationship that began with deception will ultimately reveal...
Who was just playing a part?
Who was pretending, but truly fell in love?
Theme: Treat those who cherish you with the same care, and repay sincere affection with sincerity.
