After the Princess Seized the Throne

Chu Yin was the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan, arrogant and domineering, notorious for his cold heart.

He had a disciple, Yan Zhige, the emperor's second princess, who was famous for being a pushover and a naive sweetheart. Even stray dogs on the roadside could kick her around. All she ever did was cry.

Chu Yin was exasperated by how hopeless she was.

Later, the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for Yan Zhige.

Yan Zhige stood before him, sobbing her heart out. "Master, I'm scared. Will you help me?"

Chu Yin agreed, planning to have Yan Zhige enter a sham marriage with his close friend, Shangguan Jin, heir to the Prince of Chu.

But when the young lord heard about it, he eloped with the person he loved that very night.

With no other choice, Chu Yin put on a human-skin mask and went through the wedding ceremony with Yan Zhige himself.

On their wedding night, the moment Chu Yin stepped into the bridal chamber, a dagger was pressed to his throat. Yan Zhige stood before him, brazen and unrestrained, looking at him with disdain as she sneered. "You have two choices: act like a married couple in public, but like ruler and subject in private, and sleep obediently on the floor, or..."

Chu Yin thought Yan Zhige was trying to scare him. He raised an eyebrow. "Or what?"

"I'll castrate you." Yan Zhige smiled, and the dagger in her hand drew blood at once.

Chu Yin finally realized Yan Zhige wasn't the docile, pitiful girl he had imagined. On the contrary, she was ruthless and full of schemes, using his name to build her own power and reach for the throne.

Born into the imperial family, she would die if she didn't fight for power. Although Chu Yin was terrified, he was still willing to help her plan every step of the way.

Until Yan Zhige stripped in front of him and revealed the truth: she was a man.

Before Chu Yin could react, the person before him casually put his clothes back on and said, "Young Lord, don't worry. I'm not interested in you. We're simply partners. Once this is over, we'll divorce. After all, you're not even worth a single strand of my master's hair."

Chu Yin asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

Yan Zhige sneered. "I mean, I'm in love with my master."

Chu Yin felt the sky come crashing down.

Later, Yan Zhige finally got what he wanted and became emperor, while Chu Yin hurriedly faked his own death and fled.

He was gone for two years.

Then rumors spread throughout Great Yan that the emperor was gravely ill and would not live much longer. Chu Yin's heart softened, and he returned to the capital, intending to see Yan Zhige one last time.

But the bedchamber was dim, and a sweet, cloying scent filled the air. Behind the nine layers of curtains, there was no ailing emperor, only a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait.

That night, Chu Yin was dragged behind the curtains and plunged into a world of passion, pinned beneath someone. He heard Yan Zhige whisper in his ear, "Master, you can't escape me. For the rest of your life, you'll belong to me alone!"

Help!!!

# The adorable disciple I raised for eight years turned out to be a hard, smelly man!

# My poor little thing was actually a fearsome flower!

# What do I do when my disciple has designs on me and wants to defy our teacher-student relationship?

# I faked my death, then got tricked into coming back...

Notes:

1. Yan Zhige is the top, and Chu Yin is the bottom.

2. The top is a master of cross-dressing and will return to his male identity later.
