Bai Wei observed his lover in ancient Chinese clothes for a moment and fawned over his beauty. His love had long hair and was dressed in a turquoise outer garment with lilies of the valley embroidered on the cuffs of his sleeves. He held the look of a delicate pretty boy with a face that more suited the word beautiful than handsome. It was the first time Bai Wei had seen such a distinctive look on his lover.
But still he couldn't help but laugh.
His lover's personality in this life seemed to be more distinctive than his looks. He was obviously very uncomfortable and angry at the current situation ,but just barely managed to cover it up with a gentle demeanor. Bai Wei watched with slight amusement as his lover took to glaring a hole into the ground while trying to feign fragility and weakness.
"Pfft- ahem, the Yunnan government has sent me quite the beauty this time" Bai Wei said while lifting his hand to sweep the other's hair out of his face. Bai Wei showed eyes of unfiltered admiration towards the other as he did this. His lover in this life took the opportunity to personally send himself to his doorstep. It is only right that he should 'fall in love at first sight'. In response to his actions , his love tensed up greatly and his glaring intensified. Even the air around him seemed a few degrees colder.
[Ding! Target's favorability has decreased 1 point and is now -11]
Bai Wei heard the chime and was surprised at how high his lovers favorability was towards him. Maybe this world would be easier than the last two. He looked at his lover's character chart in high hopes only to be surprised.
[Name: Ding Zihua Age: 20 Current Favorability: -11]
A spy sent over by the Yunnan Province to lead the General into ruin and win the war against Sichuan]
Bai Wei felt complicated after seeing this. He stopped messing with his lover and instructed Li Cheng to lead the other to his accommodations in a tent adjacent to his own. After the two had left he sat on the bed to gather his thoughts.
[Host!! Careful!! He's full of crap!! A liar, I tell you! A deceitful man!!!] The system chimed in a dramatic tone. In the system space the little Pomeranian was jumping in circles as it barked this. Bai Wei was met with this sight when he went into his mindscape and flicked Hua on the head.
Don't say such things about my man.
Hua's ears dropped and he ran to Lui for comfort as Bai Wei sat down. Lui licked the Pomeranian's furry head and the dog snuggled together with the panther while eyeing Bai Wei with grievances. After watching the two's actions, Bai Wei went over to pick up the little Pomeranian and rubbed the spot on his forehead
Sorry...
After some comfort, Hua forgave him and began licking the other's face. The two played and laughed for a moment before Bai Wei remembered the information he just learned and sunk back into his own thoughts. He hugged Hua who was in his arms as he thought.
This is going to be hard...
[What is the problem? That he's a lying scum?]
Bai Wei once again glared at Hua for a moment but didn't take any action after learning his lesson the previous time.
He's not a lying scum. He's being held against his will.
Bai Wei said to Hua in a teaching manner. Seeing that Hua was extremely confused Bai Wei patted the others head playfully before continuing to explain. Liu was completely silent as he watched to two. His tail flicking with interest as he watched them interact.
What is His last name?
[Ding]
Yes, and who else has that last name?
[Oh! The protagonist, Ding Lua!!]
And why do they have the same last name?
Hua was confused for a moment so it search the world overview until it found the answer.
!!!
[They're siblings!!]
Correct!! 100 points!!
Bai Wei said while patting the fluff ball in his arms. Hua was extremely excited and jumped out of Bai Wei's arms to strut over to Liu in a proud manner. Liu watched the proud Pomeranian as it strutted towards him and licked its face when it got close enough. Liu laughed as the fur ball was astonished by his action and took this opportunity to cajole the other to sit beside him again.
What Hua said was true, Ding Zihua and Ding Lua were indeed siblings. The only reason that the esteemed son of the prime minister of a nation would be here right now was because his family's safety had been threatened. The story line had now progressed to the point where Ding Lua had just poisoned her husband, the fourth prince, to death. However, the monarch of the Yunnan Province saw fit to use this situation to turn the Ding family into his obedient servants.
You see, the Yunnan Nation had the custom that once a woman was married off, she was no longer considered a part of her original family and instead became a true member of the family she married into.
As such, even in the face of the death of her husband, Ding Lua was still considered a princess. It was because of this that Ding Lua was able to successfully succeed the throne in the original plot. However, at this moment when she had no power, this custom was more of a threat than anything else. If the Ding family so much as stepped out of line his sister would be sent off to marry a foreign delegate or be a prisoner of war.
So, Ding Zihua had no choice but to follow the emperor's orders and hide his identity to come out to the front lines to seduce another man. The emperor sought to use his fame as a big beauty to his advantage.
Even now as Ding Zihua sat in his newly appointed tent, he must be filled to the brim with anger and resentment for his current situation. However, no matter his thoughts he is helpless to his situation. By now, Ding Zihua must have now calmed and turned his mind to thinking about how to seduce himself!!!
Indeed, Bai Wei was not worried about the mission. He was super excited to see his lover try to flirt with him!!! What if he cant hide his true feelings because of joy?!
