Blurb below↓ The Prince of Chu suddenly changed his ways and, in just a few years, rebelled and became emperor. He was ruthless and showed no mercy even to his own kin, slaughtering friends and relatives alike. Few knew that his name was Yan Guifan, and that he was an impostor. The real Prince of Chu, Yan Guiyu, had been imprisoned from the start, forced to become a secret bedmate he could never acknowledge in public. Yan Guiyu’s response was: To hell with this, let’s die together! And so they died together, only to be reborn once more. This time, the tables had turned. Now Yan Guiyu had Yan Guifan imprisoned. Now he had the ministers Yan Guifan once manipulated at his mercy. Now he could meddle in court politics and fight for power. Now he could drive Yan Guifan into a corner and push him to the brink of collapse. In desperation, Yan Guifan blurted out something outrageous: “Can you stop messing with me? How about a deal? If you agree, I’ll be your strategist by day and your bedmate by night!” Yan Guiyu: Hard to refuse.jpg. So the two long-time enemies reluctantly called a truce. They went about hurting each other as usual while joining forces in the struggle for the throne. As they worked together, Yan Guiyu discovered a few things. For instance, his father wanted him dead, his mother had never stopped trying to harm him, and his brothers saw him as nothing but a pawn. Even if Yan Guifan hadn’t made a move, he would have had to take them all on. Exhausted in body and spirit, Yan Guiyu lifted every restriction on Yan Guifan and told him, “Go. I don’t hate you anymore.” Then he drank himself into a stupor and passed out. He never imagined that after drowning himself in drink and waking again, he would find the young man who should have fled holding out both wrists to him. Yan Guifan: “Don’t abandon me, Your Highness. We haven’t had enough time in bed together.” Yan Guifan had spaced out for a moment in class at university. When he looked up, he found himself back in ancient times, face-to-face with a prince destined for a tragic end. To get home, he had to make this man emperor. As the saying goes, instead of pushing someone else to succeed, you might as well push yourself. Yan Guifan decided to fight for the throne himself, then hand it over to the prince. But things got out of hand. He didn’t get home, and he turned a sweet, innocent man into someone dark and twisted. They both died and started over. At first, of course, he hated him: hated that he’d made it impossible to go home, hated that he hadn’t stayed useless, and most of all, hated that if he was capable of standing up for himself, he hadn’t done it sooner. Until he saw Yan Guiyu’s tears. Yan Guifan suddenly realized he was crying, too. Theme: Don’t let hatred blind you. Find your way back to who you were.
