Third Prince Fang Qingjiu is a walking jinx. After having a few too many drinks at a palace banquet, he wakes up the next morning to find that everything has changed.
His steady, devoted father has become a cold, suspicious scoundrel of a dad.
His loving, gentle mother has turned into a bitter woman trapped deep in the palace.
And more absurdly, the other Third Prince, who is also him in every way but his name, has the same face and the same identity, yet his father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't care for him. He's ruthless, hot-tempered, paranoid, and a beautiful lunatic who wants to murder his parents!
Help! Wasn't he supposed to be in a cozy family drama?!
He must have woken up from his drunken stupor in the wrong position yesterday.
Now saddled with the task of saving his family, he's determined to get their dangerously derailed power-struggle drama back on track.
But as Fang Qingjiu devotes himself to saving the plot, he discovers that somewhere along the way...
Why can't he take his eyes off “himself”?
Little theater:
Fang Qingjiu: My mother is gentle and formidable, always has the final say, and absolutely dotes on me.
Fang Qingnian: My mother is cold and quick to anger. She glares at me and can't stand me.
Fang Qingjiu: My father is steady and devoted. He dismissed his entire harem for my mother.
Fang Qingnian [with a cold laugh]: My father is cold and heartless. He's got so many consorts, you could play cuju with them.
Fang Qingjiu: ...Everyone loves me.
Fang Qingnian: Hah. Everyone avoids me like the plague.
Fang Qingjiu: ...You poor thing. How about coming home with me?
Fang Qingnian: Your home?
Fang Qingjiu [proudly]: This prince will take care of you.
Bright, warm, and snarky, Fang Qingjiu just wants to go home
vs.
Gloomy, irritable, and razor-tongued Fang Qingnian, who wants to wipe out his entire family
Reading Guide:
1. Narcissistic romance: the same person with different names. No cheating.
2. Happy ending. Fang Qingjiu successfully gets to top Fang Qingnian in an extra chapter, but not in the main story.
3. Neither lead is a perfect person. The gong is especially flawed early on because of what he's been through, but he'll gradually grow.
4. The gong and shou are ordinary men. Conflicts and physical fights are normal, so don't imagine the shou as a sobbing little crybaby.
5. This novel is connected to its sister story, There Is a Sanjue Mountain, which is available for pre-order.
Theme: May everyone get what they wish for.
