Multiple male leads / melodrama / coercive love / turning a straight man gay
The thing Xie Shi'an regretted most after transmigrating was the boast he made to his colleagues, the Crown Prince, and his younger brother when the old emperor granted him a marriage: "You're all welcome to attend the wedding. I'll make sure to treat you well."
He'd failed to read people properly. He hadn't noticed the obsession, madness, and lecherousness in those men's eyes.
People say your wedding day is the happiest day of your life. Xie Shi'an, however, felt there had never been a day more humiliating, disgraceful, and disgusting.
Dressed in his wedding finery, he was forced to endure the whole night, swaying helplessly beneath them. It drained all the luck from the rest of his life, and every day afterward made him regret ever doing it.
The proper synopsis:
Xie Shi'an died by accident while trying to save his childhood sweetheart, then transmigrated into a political intrigue novel as the legitimate son of the Xie family of the capital. He later became the Crown Prince's study companion. He even passed all three rounds of the imperial examinations to become the top scholar of the dynasty, rising to unmatched fame and fortune.
Though he was a Kunze, he lived freely and easily, treating everyone well and sweet-talking them all, keeping everyone happy.
That is, until he discovered that the chancellor's daughter looked exactly like his childhood sweetheart. From then on, he devoted himself entirely to her and had no kindness left to spare for "the others."
So those "others" started scheming in secret, hoping to break up the couple.
But who could have guessed that an imperial edict granting them marriage would fulfill Xie Shi'an's wish, making him so pleased with himself that he showed off his wedding plans to those "others"?
Three cups of aphrodisiac wine, and the groom passed out.
In the end, he spent the whole night being ravished in his swaying wedding robes.
Xie Shi'an screamed himself hoarse.
But they still wouldn't leave him alone.
They even took his wife from him and made him watch his childhood sweetheart marry another man.
Xie Shi'an: What? To hell with this. I'm done living.
