The Tyrannical Prince Stole Me Away

The writing is rambling.

I’m stuck. I’ll update when inspiration strikes.

[Love Rivalry, Short to Medium Length]

Su Mu was shy and reserved. Growing up healthy under his parents’ protection, he hoped to top the imperial examinations, bring honor to his family, and find a kindred spirit to spend his life with. He never imagined that his father would fail in an attempt to impeach a corrupt official and wind up in the imperial prison, with his life hanging in the balance.

To save his father, Su Mu worked every angle until he managed to get close to one of Prince Yan’s retainers.

Prince Yan, Xiao Jin, governed the capital and acted as regent.

Unfortunately, he was moody and unpredictable, almost impossible to read.

To curry favor with him, Su Mu spent a fortune buying the handsome male companion Xiao Jin had once favored.

But Xiao Jin was in a foul mood that day. With a cold expression, he reprimanded Su Mu: "Who told you I liked men?"

Su Mu spent every last coin he had, only to be swindled. Heartbroken, he nearly took his own life. But then Xiao Jin suddenly released his father, summoned Su Mu to his residence to study, and threw a lavish banquet for him. "I see potential in you, so I shall take you on as my disciple."

Su Mu was deeply grateful. What he didn't realize was that Xiao Jin had his eye on his face.

After experiencing the man's forceful, domineering ways, Su Mu spent every day plotting his escape.

But Xiao Jin kept a close watch, pressing him relentlessly. "Now that you belong to me, where do you think you can run?"

Su Mu protested indignantly, "You said you would be my teacher..."

"Oh? Do teachers kiss their disciples?"

A book written about this: The Cross-Dressing Boy Who Attracted the Regent

To earn enough money for private school, Wen Mian dressed as a girl and took a maid's job at the biggest tavern in the capital. There, he caught the eye of a tall, handsome customer.

The customer spent a fortune on Wen Mian. Dressed as a girl, Wen Mian felt terribly guilty about it.

But his friend told him, "That little bit of money is nothing to a rich person. If you feel bad about it, you should spend more time with him!"

Wen Mian thought that made sense, so every few days he dressed as a girl and went to meet the customer.

Until one day, the all-powerful regent made a public appearance in the capital. Across the sea of people, Wen Mian recognized him at a glance: he was the customer who sought him out every day!

Rumor had it that Regent Qin Changyuan was tyrannical and cruel. Children would burst into tears at the mere mention of his name. He had also used ruthless methods to strip two emperors of their power, making him a truly heinous villain!

Wen Mian, the child of a minor sixth-rank official, was so terrified he didn't know what to do. He could only pretend he had something else to do and stop working at the tavern. But the man had no intention of letting him go. "Baby, you promised last time that you'd call me husband when you came this time."

Wen Mian's little face scrunched up in fear. "Then... if I call you husband, will you let me go?"

The man was as wicked as ever. His hand slipped shamelessly beneath Wen Mian's skirt. "That depends on how well you behave, Mianmian."

Wen Mian was the youngest legitimate son of a minor sixth-rank official. After his mother died, he lived alone. He was often hungry and cold, and now his father no longer wanted to pay for his private schooling.

Wen Mian was a little slow, but studying was his only way out.

To earn money, he caught the attention of the regent. He thought that if his true identity were discovered, he would die without a burial place.

Wen Mian wished he could vanish into a crack in the ground, but the regent had laid a vast net and soon tracked him down.

Wen Mian thought he was going to be executed. Instead, box after box of gold and silver was carried into his home from the regent's residence, and the regent announced that he would marry Wen Mian and make him his prince consort!

Wen Mian married him in a state of terror, only to be spoiled rotten by Qin Changyuan. At night, however, Qin Changyuan always prepared a number of light, cool women's dresses for him to wear, then lifted his skirts with his own hands and tasted him thoroughly...
