A/N~~:Aiiiii! Thanks for reading this chapter~ ♥️This chapter is a bit boring. But Next chapter will definitely be fluffy! I swear! 

What a wonderful life Su Ying was living! Everyday, he would wake up in Yusheng' arm with a thick face, then he would eat delicious breakfast. After that he would have lunch and take a nap. Then comes delicious dinner. Tasty snacks between meals are must. Sometimes there would be some people coming to make trouble. But Yusheng would handle them. At last... He would go to sleep on the soft bed. What a life! Even the God who choked him to death was jealous. Even He has to do more work than this lazy human. 

But unfortunately... Good things sometimes come to an end. Their honeymoon period was over. Li Yusheng needed to go back to his official duties so he might not be always with Su Ying. But before that... They needed to go and pay respect to the one who sold *cough* granted their marriage. 

The Emperor. 

Su Ying looked at himself in the mirror. He was dressed in a ivory colored hanfu, looking very elegant and sophisticated but extremely beautiful. He wasn't particularly excited about meeting royals or something like that. Li Yusheng already told him the things he should be careful about. But there was that uneasy feeling in his heart which he felt for the first time after being transmigrated. 

Su Ying forcefully suppressed the bad feeling and prepared himself to visit the Palace. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Imperial Palace was really beautiful. For someone like Su Ying who lived in futuristic places in his past life...it looked exceptionally magical. He never had the opportunity to visit the historical monuments. So seeing the palace in front of eyes, he couldn't help but admire. It's just that...even though the Palace was beautiful, the people there weren't the same. Well... Forget their heart, even their face weren't that good. 

"May your majesty live one thousand years." 

Su Ying followed Li Yusheng and greeted the Emperor. 

The Emperor. The said Son of the Heaven. He was majestic but... quite old ah. 

"You may rise. Yusheng, We have heard that you're getting along well with your wife We bestowed upon you." The Emperor said to Li Yusheng. 

"With your well wishes, we are really doing well. Many many thanks to your majesty for bestowing this marriage upon us." 

The Emperor looked very happy. When he laughed, his belly looked like it was bouncing. 

Very unsightly. In fact, before seeing Yusheng, Su Ying's image of him was very much like the Emperor. But thank goodness his husband didn't look like that! His husband was so handsome! 

Su Ying was in his own world when he heard the Emperor calling him, 

"You're called Su Ying?" 

Su politely smiled at the Emperor and replied, 

"Yes, your majesty." 

The Emperor sighed. Even when he sighed, his belly bounced. What kind of heavenly belly was that??? 

"You and Yusheng really do compliment each other. Your aunt, Consort NanYin really does have a good eye, Yusheng." 

At this, there was a sight smile on Yusheng' cold face. No one knew whether is was really a smile or sneer. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since those men wanted to discuss political matters, Su Ying was kicked out of the Imperial Court. Well, not really. He was politely taken out. No one dared to treat him rudely. Who didn't know that Yusheng favoured him? 

So...the kicked out little rabbit Su Ying was delivered to the big bad wolf Imperial Consort NanYin's door. 

Su Ying sighed and controlled his emotions... Acting as silly as possible as he entered the gigantic court. There in the middle was sitting a very beautiful middle aged woman. 99.99% chance was that she was Li NanYin. There were many other beautiful women and ger who were sitting beside her. Probably some other Imperial consorts and concubines. 

Su Ying immediately greeted her, 

"Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort Li." 

1 sec, 2 sec, 3 sec.... 1 min.... 5 min.... 

10 min.... 

Why the heck didn't that woman tell him to rise!!! Damn! His legs were hurting kneeling like that!

"So... You are Su Ying..." Consort Li opened her mouth. 

'Damn... Just like her looks... Even her voice is foxy...' 

"Lift your head up. Let me see what kind of face you have to be able to enchant my cold hearted nephew." She said. 

Su Ying lifted his face which was devoid of any expression. 

Consort Li laughed. 

"You indeed look good for a ger who was born from a lowly concubine. Even though you're so lowly, your face is enough to seduct most men. No wonder my nephew is so interested in you." 

All of them in the hall started laughing. 

Su Ying knew the look in their eyes. It was the look he hated the most.

"Even though you're so lowly, you should considered yourself fortunate that I, Imperial Consort Li want to favor you." 

Their eyes were filled with ridicule and disgust. As if he was dirty, unworthy, just a plaything. Su Ying hated that look the most. It made him remember things he always wanted to forget. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When he was 3 years old, Su Ying' parents died in an accident. Other members of his family took away the little asset his parents left for him and left him in a orphanage with words that he wasn't old enough to take care of those things. 

Su Ying...who was very intelligent... understood most things since he was little child. He was different from others. He was intelligent, realistic and understood things better than his peers. He liked to be quiet. When the children of his age liked to play games, he liked to read books. He was different. That's why all the children in the orphanage treated him differently. They thought he was weird. Not like them.

Su Ying never got the sense of belonging there. After getting out of the orphanage at the age of 16, he went to his relatives and asked them for the property left for him. He needed it. It was alright if they didn't return that. Just a little amount of money would do. 

But guess what... He was kicked out. They beat him up...said all kinds of dirty things about him and his parents. They looked at him as if looking at trash. 

Su Ying bared that. He worked hard. Really hard. He insanely worked part time jobs to pay for his tuition and living. He didn't even have time to sleep. Let alone hobbies. No matter what, he didn't want to give up his studies. 

Then he ranked first and went to study at the most prestigious institution in the world. For the first time in his life, he had a sense of belonging. People there... They were like him. They also thought the same way as him. He was happy. He made friends. Had lovers. Even though something was missing... He was happy... 

But then...something happened. Someone from a very high position wanted to buy his research. How could he do that! He toiled so hard just for that... He didn't agree. And so... 

Things happened. There were all sorts of disgusting rumours. All kinds of dirty proposals. Their behaviours. Those look in their eyes... That disgusting expression... That ridicule... Everything... Everything made him so angry. He had to bare that. There was no one who could protact him. Who could take his side. Probably at that time...when he was at his lowest...what he needed the most was a hug from his loved one. But unfortunately... He didn't have anyone like that. 

When his research was published and got recognition and appreciation, their attitude flipped. They started treating him so well. As if they would even lick his shoes if necessary. Even when his relatives came to him to hold his thigh in the name of their so called blood relation, he didn't spare them a glance. By then... He already had enough. He didn't want to waste in emotions on them. 

He worked hard. In the eyes of others, it might not be too much. But for him, it was enough. 

Until the day he transmigrated. 

Su Ying had to admit... After transmigrating, he was indeed taking things easy. He was being himself. Probably because there was Yusheng. But now... All those unpleasant memories flashed through his mind. He felt anger. Hatred. All sorts of negative emotions. 

Su Ying smiled. He was still sitting there listening to their ridicule. Even though his knees were hurting...it wasn't enough for his anger to be suppressed. 

"I don't dare, your highness. Someone as lowly as me isn't worthy of your favor. Your highness is omniscient, generous and loves everyone. You have the most pure soul without any dark thoughts. I don't dare stain  you with my dirty self." 

It wasn't a praise...not admiration...But ridicule. Su Ying never wants to be seen as someone unworthy and lowly. Never ever. 

Everyone present there indeed got his meaning. Just as Consort Li was about to speak, the eunuch announced the entourage of the Empress has came and said that the Empress wanted Su Ying to visit her. 

Even though Consort Li was so presumptuous and mighty, she didn't dare disrespect the Empress even if she hated her. 

Su Ying finally was able to get up. His legs were numb and were shaking. He had a difficulty to walk. 

Su Ying was taken to the Empress Palace. The Empress Chen XiaoAn was good looking. But unlike Consort Li, her aura was noble, brave and honest. Something about her was familiar with Yusheng. She was his maternal aunt indeed. 

He greeted her. 

"You may rise. Come and sit." She said. 

Su Ying smiled and sat in front of her. "Your majesty... Thank you for your help." 

"I did what I should have done." She said. 

Yes. She indeed helped Su Ying. If not for her... Su Ying might have to kneel there for a very long time. But she could have helped him even earlier. She could have made sure that he didn't have to face Consort Li. But she didn't. 

It was her way of warning him. She might be honest and a good person. But in the end, she was also a human. She also had desires. Her actions meant that if he took side of their enemies, then what would happen to him was something that wouldn't be her responsibility. 

Su Ying sneered in his heart. In the end, everyone was same. Just their level was different. He didn't want to care about those people. 

But then he remembered an innocent cherry boy who maybe trusted him,whose body was warm and very nice to snuggle with. A strange kind of warmth filled his heart as Li Yusheng' face flashed in his mind. 

'Where are you hubby? I want to go home ah.'
