As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

Sheng Li took the blushing and weak-legged Zuo Chi to the isolation room. Sheng Li said, "It's okay to differentiate into an Omega, I will always treat you as a friend."

Zuo Chi: "I don't want to be just friends with you."

The two families formed an alliance and set a marriage contract. Zuo Chi deluded himself into thinking that friends could become lovers, mistakenly believing that his secret crush could come true.

He chased after Sheng Li, but Sheng Li, who was loyal to his friends but cruel to his lovers, made his attitude clear: not done playing yet, don't want to get married, even deliberately brought people in front of Zuo Chi to try to drive him away.

The disparity from heaven to hell made Zuo Chi sober. He thought, maybe he should step back to being friends with Sheng Li. He begged his father to cancel the alliance and got engaged to another Alpha.

But Sheng Li later regretted it. <<less
