Who would have thought the pretty boy picked up by the roadside was actually a legitimate prince? Zhang Sui'an certainly never dreamed it.
Across the Four Continents, the world was in turmoil. Beneath the dynasties of weakening states, great aristocratic clans withdrew from the world, keeping their strength hidden to protect themselves.
The empress gave birth to a prince in the middle of the night. Born with a blood-red birthmark on his face, he was considered an ill omen, fated to bring misfortune to his family, and was sent away to live in a monastery at an early age.
Trapped beneath the reputation of bringing ruin to his kin, this nameless Seventh Prince lived among people like a ghost. An unwanted pawn, he seemed destined for nothing but death.
Zhang Sui'an, eldest son of an aristocratic family, was drawn into the struggle over succession after saving the young prince from his pursuers.
Before his death, Grandfather Zhang left one final instruction: "The Zhang clan must not produce another minister who serves as chancellor."
But Zhang Sui'an was saddled with this little calamity. The child would acknowledge no one but him.
"I don't want you to help anyone else."
The Seventh Prince paused, then looked up again, ambition igniting in his eyes.
"If you are to be the Crown Prince's tutor, then I will be the Crown Prince."
[Reading Guide]
Two strong leads, happy ending, seven-year age gap. The uke is exceedingly upright, and there's a long psychological tug-of-war.
The political scheming is straightforward. This is writing practice, so don't overthink it.
The pacing is leisurely, with a lot of setup in the first few chapters. They meet in Chapter 6. The seme is a tiny little runt at first, a gloomy, ghost-like young prince. He only grows up in Volume Two.
The uke has a family-arranged engagement, but the female character has her own independent awakening arc and love interest.
Theme: Enter the game to defy fate and change your destiny.
Dear author, you write well. The latest chapters are really exciting. The intrigues in the court and the unpredictability of people's hearts are so exciting. I thought Xiao Qi escaped from the palace through a secret passage, and then it would take a lot of space to write about it. I thought it would take a long time for Zhang Sui'an to return to the court. The author explained it clearly in these chapters. It's super good-looking and not laggy at all. It's very exciting.
What time will it be updated? Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, teacher, I am waiting very anxiously 😍 😍 😍
Teacher, please continue writing sweet extras [Orange Heart]
The Xu family will take care of Zikang's mother-in-law to the end. It's too scary, teacher, you have to live for four or five years, you said he ah ah 😭
What did Xiaoqi learn from the secret play map [Let Me Kangkang]? She is really getting better and better, and Zikang is becoming more and more doted on. But pay attention to your health. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you have to do it. Your body can't bear it. Please ask the immortal to save Zikang and let him live forever.
I really want to see the detailed process in this chapter. How did they figure it out? Did you learn it from Zuo Guibi's male novels? [Let me be healthy] I really can't give you a red and white hair, teacher, everyone knows your ID anyway [Let me be healthy]
Oh my God, the arrows must not be poisonous. The love of young people can always be used. Besides, luckily today is Monday.
😣 😣 I felt so depressed when I watched this episode. Zhang Xiang, your love is too restrained. Why is it as calm as a puddle of water? 😣 😣
The breakthrough came, I thought I had to wait until the sacrificial day! The young prince needs to get better quickly. He will inherit the throne in the future and let Xiao Qi and the young master live happily together. Xiao Qi should hurry up and make up for the lessons, otherwise he will be embarrassed if he doesn't know what to do next 😏.
Zuo Guibi is so transparent, I hope to wake up the good year, and she and Fan Jin are so cute [make me healthy]
