Drunk in the Red Dust

Check out my upcoming novel, The Unparalleled Heir: the blurb is right below this one.

A seemingly obedient but secretly scheming prince gong x a cool, stern swordsman shou. Age gap, with the gong younger.

Cui Liu is the senior disciple of the world's Sword Inquiry Pavilion. He has always been aloof and self-controlled, living by the rules down to his very bones, yet he has broken them twice for the junior brother he raised himself.

The first time, he defied the pavilion's ancestral rule: Sword Inquiry Pavilion disciples must not enter the capital, much less interfere in court affairs.

But when he learned that his junior brother, Xu Cang, had become embroiled in a succession struggle and was trapped in the capital, he entered the city alone with his sword, so overwhelming that none of the heroes of the realm dared stop him.

The second time, Xu Cang had only just ascended the throne and his position was still unstable when the cavalry of the northern deserts invaded.

Cui Liu drew on the strength of the Sword Inquiry Pavilion and led twenty-four elders to cut down every last one of the invading cavalry, soaking his white robes red with blood.

Xu Cang was an unloved prince. Poisoned by a rare toxin in childhood, he had no choice but to travel a thousand miles to seek treatment at the world's Sword Inquiry Pavilion.

Because he was Xu Cang's senior brother, Cui Liu took special care of him. But Xu Cang developed those unspeakable feelings for Cui Liu.

His senior brother should have been an otherworldly immortal. How could he possibly be attracted to men? Xu Cang didn't dare let his feelings show in the slightest.

Even later, during the succession struggle, when he schemed and plotted at every turn, he was still that obedient, innocent junior brother in front of Cui Liu.

Until Cui Liu was struck by a love curse and endured its agonies of passion right before him. Xu Cang could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart.

He made the boldest decision of his life.

The next day, Xu Cang obediently and deftly knelt on the floor, devout and afraid, but with no regret at all.

A cold hand rested against his face. The pain he had expected never came. He had thought Cui Liu would despise him for it.

But what he heard instead was, "Get over here and massage my back."

Upcoming novel blurb!!!!

As the only son of Prince Yan, Yan Rong grew up adored by everyone. He did as he pleased and was known throughout the realm as a spoiled playboy.

He had just one secret he absolutely couldn't tell anyone: he liked men and dreamed of finding himself a male heir-consort!

Unfortunately, the disciples of Xiaoyao City were too rigid, the scholars of Jiangnan too delicate, and the men of Yan... too dark.

He heard that the noble young men of the capital were refined and dignified.

They sounded like the perfect candidates for an heir-consort!

Afraid that waiting would make things fall through, the young heir packed his bags that very night and headed straight for the capital.

**

As luck would have it, on his very first day in the capital, he met the perfect candidate.

The man was tall, learned, elegant, and, most importantly, patient and gentle!

Coming to the capital was absolutely the right choice!

The young heir was so swept up in this tender romance that he lost himself in pleasure and completely forgot about going to the palace for an audience.

Oddly enough, the person in the palace never sent anyone to hurry him along, and the days went by one after another.

But can someone tell him why he's pregnant?!!!

**

The young heir glanced at the sleeping man beside him, feeling wronged. It's all his fault!

He immediately decided to teach him a lesson, packed his bags, and prepared to leave the capital in the middle of the night.

Just as he was about to leave through the city gates, palace guards poured out and sealed them shut.

The guards formed two lines, and a man in black robes patterned with golden dragons walked out between them.

It was none other than the "prince-consort" who had just slept beside him.

The man carefully picked him up and lowered his voice, as if trying to restrain himself. He said gently, "I'll be your prince-consort, and you can be my empress. How about it?"

Reading guide:
