Li Zhiwei has nearly forty siblings. He's a member of the imperial clan, yet so poor he can barely afford to eat.
When he was so hungry he had to dig wild vegetables from beside the wall, he swore that in this life he'd become a high-ranking official, make a fortune, find one person to spend his life with, and have one child.
By the age of twenty, he had neither a career nor wealth. His wife had died young, and his only son was born frail. Every morning, the first thing he did was figure out how to pay for his son's medicine.
His childhood boasts faded into the distance, and then he met Pei Jianzhuo.
-
Pei Jianzhuo is the younger brother of the chancellor and the princess's uncle. He has always lived in luxury and has a bright future ahead of him.
Li Zhiwei has nothing but his looks.
He does whatever it takes to seduce Pei Jianzhuo, letting him have his way, all for the sake of using him one day.
At last, the crown prince dies young, leaving the emperor without an heir. The emperor must choose a child from the imperial clan to adopt.
Li Zhiwei goes to Pei Jianzhuo and asks him to pay something for their relationship, for instance...
"Let me meet your elder brother."

A lovesick romantic meets a career-minded man
Pei Jianzhuo & Li Zhiwei
The gong is devoted to the shou in body and soul. The shou is a widower with a biological son.
The upcoming "Mountain Lord Beneath the Moon" is a sequel to this story. Check it out in my author profile if you're interested. It's expected to start around the Lantern Festival~
Crown Prince Li Yifeng is strikingly handsome, peerless in appearance, and doted on by the emperor, who cherishes him like a treasure.
Unfortunately, he was born frail and delicate, and the slightest mishap can leave him seriously ill.
At fifteen, he leaves the palace to pay his respects at the ancestral temple. Riding in a golden carriage beneath a great banner, he tours the Vermilion Bird Street. The elders bow and cheer as they gaze upon his appearance, but they nearly kill this jade-like beauty with their attention.
After returning to the palace, the crown prince falls seriously ill. From then on, he recuperates in the Eastern Palace and never steps outside.
Only when the imperial mausoleum collapses does he receive an edict to ascend the throne.
Li Youjian, heir to the Prince of Qi, has long been stationed in Hedong and has always harbored rebellious ambitions. While the crown prince's position is still unstable, he swiftly raises an army to seize the throne and storms the capital.
"Since Your Highness cannot be troubled for long, I suppose I'll have to take the throne myself."
But the palace catches fire, and the crown prince vanishes without a trace.
Everywhere he looks, there is only one peerless beauty, who claims to be named Yueshang and to have served in the Eastern Palace.
Smitten by the beauty, Li Youjian takes him into his chambers. One morning, he suddenly asks, "How do I compare to Li Yi?"
The beauty lowers his eyes obediently. "How could a child like Li Yi compare to you?"
[The beauty beneath the moon, the mountain lord under the moon.]

Blunt, impetuous husband vs. sickly beauty who never lets a slight go unanswered

2. The throne belongs to the crown prince.
Theme: Keep your feet firmly on the ground.
The teacher is really good at writing. In fact, Zhou Fanglu and Ye Yanghe are not strictly related by blood, but the fate between them is so close and wonderful. Obviously, in the end, they are both beautiful women and have bad luck. Xiao Pei is not so famous, and Zhiwei is even more unlucky, but their fates are still very different, and they are tied together in the end, which is even more sad.
🐰🐰🐰 is actually a trick narrative, especially the first-person narrative, so you can write a few chapters to change the perspective. For example, you can add some Xiao Pei perspective in the middle, otherwise everyone will think he is a big scumbag 🥺
It's a good read. After reading the extras, I realized that this story has a different interpretation from everyone's perspective. Zhiwei's story has come to an end, and we look forward to Shansi's new story.
Although Pei Jianzhuo is a bit rushed, he has a good appearance and a good family background. He can be a continuation character for Zhiwei and a minor character for Xue Miaochi, hahahahaha 💪
Da Pei wants to tie Zhiwei to death on his ship with loud gongs and drums.
Da Pei's usual trick is to first push people into the mud and then appear as a savior. The disgust of the superior.
By the way, we still haven't been told, did Zhiwei really send it when he was over thirty, or did he run away and travel around the world?
Finished spreading flowers 🎉 Is it because you don't quite understand some of the motivations of the old emperor's actions? Why did he dare to take the same medicine as Li Zhiwei? Why was he willing to let Zhiwei become emperor in the end instead of killing him? And he doesn't care at all if his eunuch kills his own child? I don't know if the extra story will be told. It gives people a slightly anticlimactic feeling. Maybe it's because my expectations are too high (because I read the tweet. My favorite in the whole article is Shansi Baby haha
By the way, what is Da Pei's feelings for Zhou Fanglu? I feel like he doesn't really love Zhou. Is it really useful for Litchi to do this?
Because these two people blocked Jian Yao and refused to give him fame, which went against Da Pei's idea. He wanted his son to follow his old path and inherit him.
