Scheming Vinegar King X Mouthy Coward

Beautiful Emperor Top X Spoiled Young Master Bottom

Made to realize it’s actually amazing(1)

—

Yan Yihuan is the third young master from the Residence of King Yan. He drinks imperial wine, eats at royal banquets, sleeps on a luxurious bed, and strolls through jade pavilions. Every day, he enjoys a carefree and indulgent life, as happy and free as an immortal!

Happy, my foot.

There was a seventh-rank minor official from the capital, so alluring, yet he’s off-limits. After finally managing to pin him down with the help of alcohol, he himself almost ends up getting…

The intimidated Yan Yihuan’s ego suffered a ‘tiny bit’ of damage.

He entered the capital with a broken heart to attend a banquet, hugging a young man and lamenting his emotional wounds in the ornately decorated flower boat: “What’s so great about that Zhao Chufeng? He’s as stiff as a piece of wood, with none of the charm you have.”

Right after finishing his sentence, a tall and handsome man suddenly appeared on the flower boat with a mocking smile:

“It’s been a year, Yan gongzi, your flirting skills haven’t improved at all!”

Yan Yihuan was suddenly restrained, his pupils trembling in shock. “I was wrong, I won’t flirt with others anymore, can you let me go?”

Zhao Chufeng just smiled and said nothing.

The next day at the palace banquet, Yan Yihuan who was holding his waist and groaning, was pressured into drinking and passed out after 3 cups of wine. When he woke up, he found himself tied to that bed again.

Yan Yihuan begins to panic after coming to a realization. If they dare to kidnap someone so casually at a palace banquet, could it be…?

I’m doomed, I think I’ve provoked someone I shouldn’t have!

Zhao Chufeng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“What’s wrong? Zhen(2) exclusively favors you alone. Are you moved?”

Yan Yihuan: “N-no, I dare not move.”

But could you be a little gentler next time…?
