[Current progress: revising the manuscript, so it may be a little later QAQ]
Yu Qi transmigrated into the body of a concubine-born son of a noble house.
To complete his quick transmigration missions, he stopped at nothing. He even climbed into the Prince of Chu's bed of his own accord, becoming his male lover.
As he watched the other man fall deeper and deeper:
He brought out his family's heirloom jade pendant as a token of their love.
He defied the imperial decree and announced to the world that he would marry a man as his princess consort.
Yu Qi suddenly turned on him. Using the Prince of Chu's name, he mobilized the prince's personal troops to launch a palace coup, risking his life to help the Sixth Prince seize the throne.
The next day, the new emperor ascended the throne and sentenced the Prince of Chu to death as atonement.
The Prince of Chu glared furiously at Yu Qi, then laughed in his rage. "Why aren't you calling me Jiu Lang, my Princess Consort of Chu?"
Yu Qi personally carried in the poisoned wine and said calmly, "Your Highness has lost his mind."
-
The mission was complete, but the System suddenly changed its tune. "Data loss. The Host has been returned to the original instance. Please redo the mission."
Forced to be reborn, Yu Qi was so furious he nearly spat blood.
In his nightmare, the Prince of Chu, long since buried in his coffin, smiled at him and repeated the same flirtatious words as in his previous life. "My household is short one male lover to warm my bed."
His cheek was being pinched, and it hurt a little.
The bad news: this wasn't a dream.
The good news: the Prince of Chu was easier to fool than in his previous life. It wouldn't be long before he completed the mission just as he had before.
That is, until he was caught red-handed secretly currying favor with the princes.
The Prince of Chu kept him occupied for an entire day and night. His kiss on the back of Yu Qi's neck was scorching, but the voice by his ear was chilling. "Little cat, tell me, what does poisoned wine taste like going down?"
System: "[Warning] NPC self-awareness awakened!!!"
Yu Qi: "?"
What's the difference between a Prince of Chu reborn with his memories and a vengeful ghost? System, why didn't you wait until I was dead to tell me?!
-
After faking his death and escaping, Yu Qi reinvented himself as the emperor's eldest legitimate son, who had been lost among the common people. He was welcomed into the Eastern Palace and made Crown Prince.
The ministers all said the Crown Prince was a title in name only, and that the Prince of Chu would have to eliminate him to seize the throne! Then, one day, they saw the Crown Prince at court...
The ministers: ???
Wasn't this the former colleague who'd been involved with the Prince of Chu?!
The Prince of Chu faction and the Crown Prince faction.
The ministers on both sides impeached one another, opening their eyes every morning ready for a fight. They brawled until their hats flew off and their court robes were torn, completely unaware that the Eastern Palace was all warm lamplight and red wedding candles.
Yu Qi closed the impeachment memorial against the Prince of Chu and rested his chin on one hand, looking rather helpless. "Royal Uncle broke into the Eastern Palace at night and tried to assassinate me?"
The Prince of Chu leaned over him and tossed the inconvenient Imperial Seal aside. "My Gu poison is acting up. I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to save me at the cost of your own body."
