A teasing little sunshine who can easily handle her husband, a split-off version of the shou, & a possessive original gong who wants to wrap his wife up and hide him away every day
"Today, the Imperial Royal Family will hold a coronation ceremony for Crown Prince Yan Li. However, the prince has yet to appear."
"An hour later, the imperial crown prince finally arrives."
A silver-haired youth in royal attire steps forward, his noble bearing and powerful presence enough to make people's legs go weak.
*
After the coronation ceremony, the empire plans to consolidate its various factions by arranging a political marriage between the crown prince and a minister's daughter.
Yan Li is happy to play along. One night, after going on dates with five ministers' daughters, someone breaks into his room and grabs him by the throat.
"You've been having quite a wild time these past few days."
In the moonlight, Yan Li looks at the identical face and smiles provocatively. "I have another date tomorrow."
As soon as the words leave his mouth, his lips are sealed. The other man kisses him fiercely, taking over until the other's breath is all he can taste.
The next day, a minister's daughter waits in vain for Yan Li to show up. A maid delivers the message.
"I'm sorry. His Highness stayed up late last night and is rather tired today. Please go home. His Highness will call on you to apologize another day."
But the prince the maid refers to has flushed cheeks. His entire body is being licked and stroked by tentacles, red marks showing against his pale skin.
The man's low voice rings out: "Do you still want to go?"

From the day of its birth, it was captured by humans and tortured mercilessly. To survive, it severed one of its own tentacles.
But far from its homeland, in this unfamiliar kingdom, it can only hide itself away.
Until he finds it.
That day, the youth holds a black umbrella and sees straight through its disguise at a glance.
"Do you want to survive?" The youth smiles, cradling it in his palm.
At that moment, their encounter feels like fate. Its heart pounds wildly. It wants to draw close to him, wrap itself around him, claim him as its own.
So it nods. Yes.
"Then be my eyes." The youth's bright right eye curves into a smile. "I'll call you Li Yan. I'll give you my name and let you take my surname."
The youth's hand gently caresses its body, making it shiver all over with pleasure.
On its first night in the youth's home, it crawls out of the water tank and makes its way to the youth's bedside.
Under the moonlight, its shadow stretches across the floor. Its tentacles thrash with wild abandon, urgently yet gently wrapping around the youth's entire body.
The room fills with countless greedy whispers: "Possess him," "Eat him," "He was mine all along..."
The tentacles ebb away like a tide. It takes human form, with a face identical to the youth's.
From now on, I will be your eyes.
1. The shou is blind in his left eye, but it will recover later.
2. The gong and shou share sensations. If one feels something, the other feels it too.
3. The shou's dates are fake.
4. Narcissistic romance~
