Sickly minister 1 x cold-blooded, sharp-tongued emperor 0, 1v1, both pure, HE, no role reversal or breaking them up
[Synopsis]
Shi Buyi first met Shen Rongce in prison. At the time, he was the guilty son of a treacherous minister, while Shen was the unpopular Prince Wei.
He still remembered the tenderness in Prince Wei's eyes as they passed over his injured leg. "I admire your beauty, sir, and wish to take you as my consort. Would you be willing?"
With nowhere else to turn, Shi Buyi accepted. Of course, he knew it was just a lie born of mutual convenience.
On their wedding night, Shen Rongce pinned him to the bed and demanded, "Now that you're my wife, you can tell me all the secrets of Qimen, can't you? Don't worry, I'll protect you forever."
"In your dreams!" Shi Buyi's words had barely left his mouth when a sharp pain shot through his still-healing leg.
Qimen was a treasured secret passed down through Shi's family for generations. He could entrust it to no one but the emperor. Though he endured every humiliation at Prince Wei's manor, Shi Buyi kept his lips sealed and never let a word slip.
How could he have known that the Prince Wei whom nobody believed in would truly seize the throne?
On the day he ascended the throne, Shen Rongce ordered the "princess consort" who had opposed him at every turn to be banished to the frontier.
But he soon regretted it. Three months after Shi Buyi left, he personally led a party on a long journey to bring his "consort" back to the palace.
"I'm nothing but the son of a traitor. Why would Your Majesty come all this way to ask me back?" Shi Buyi asked, baffled.
"Isn't it only right for me to bring my empress back to the palace?"
Shi Buyi smiled and gave him a teasing look. "Could it be that Your Majesty still doesn't know how to use Qimen?"
"...Nonsense! I want you."
Shi Buyi couldn't bring himself to trust those words.
Even while living in luxury at the palace, he always felt that an emperor's suspicions were no trivial matter. Shen Rongce had brought him back only to keep him under house arrest, especially since Shi had tried to poison him more than once.
On the night the Forbidden City went up in flames, Shen Rongce rushed headlong into Kunning Palace. He lifted Shi, whose legs could barely carry him, and hurled him into the carriage waiting to carry him to safety.
"Go first. They're here for me." Shen Rongce's smile was quickly swallowed by the sea of fire.
This has to be another ploy to make me let the secret slip, Shi Buyi thought. I won't fall for it. If I tell him everything about Qimen, I'll be a dead man.
Only later did he learn that an emperor could have a sincere heart too. At least that time, Shen had truly wanted him to live.

Theme: Everyone has a talent that can be put to use
I discussed this article with a friend, and she said it was actually quite good. The emotional line of being attacked is actually more attractive than I thought. I originally wanted to give up, but after what she said, I wanted to pick it up again. I put a lot of effort into setting up the main outline, so it would be a pity to throw it away casually. In fact, when I was writing, I was always worried about whether I would be said to be too harsh, too sadistic, etc. After thinking about it, the more I wrote, the less confident I became, but this is something I should adjust myself. The most critical point is that I have never figured out how to express the emotional line between the two of them. Although they are both crematoriums, there are differences between crematoria and crematorium. In the last book, I thought the emotional line was too simple, so the writing was not so touching. I will continue to write this book, but I will write it in the next one, because I have prepared a shorter crematorium as a "practice" for this book, and I have sorted out the emotional lines very thinly (thinner than the previous book anyway). As for the written results, there is a high probability that they will be said to be too sadistic, but I don't care. I just want to write that one first, and then this one. That one is about 150,000 words. If everything goes well, I can finish it early next year. Anyway, I'm sorry to everyone who has been waiting, but please wait a little longer, because I really want to finish this book, but right now I don't have the confidence to "can finish it."

Didn't the story of Qi Men's whereabouts being questioned on the night of the wedding not be included in the copy? Is there a plot like this in the future?
Ah ah ah ah, I'm squatting down. Do you still remember me?
