The Emperor Is a High-Schooler
01
A figure clad in silk white robes walked into the room.
There was only one other person present— a man in his forties sitting on the highest chair in the room.
Li Min
This prince greets your majesty.
Li Zhushi
Please forgive us if you can, son.
Li Min sighed, but he didn't utter the words the Emperor craved.
He looked at his father but all he saw before himself was the Emperor of a kingdom.
He hesitated. Then, as if suddenly remembering he was also a father, he dropped the royal plural.
Li Zhushi
I really didn't have a choice.
Li Min
I know. I don't resent you, father.
Li Zhushi
But you do not forgive us?
Li Zhushi
We shall not force you.
Li Zhushi
Why did you even come outside that day? Hah, if only.
Li Zhushi
The bridal sedan has been prepared. You will leave tomorrow morning.
Li Min
This subject understands, your majesty.
Li Zhushi
Please don't do anything drastic. If...
Li Min
If I die, the peace treaty will end. I know father.
Li Min
I won't let my country die for my pride.
Li Min
I am not that conceited, yet.
Li Zhushi
We wish you were. We truly do.
Li Min
*smiles* You don't. Else, you would have gone to war instead of selling your son for peace.
Li Min
Indeed, if one life can be exchanged for millions', why waste?
Li Min
Like I said, I won't disappoint imperial father.
In a few confident strides, he left behind his room.
With tomorrow's dawn, he will leave behind his nation.
If only...if only he hadn't met that man.
But, past is unchangeable.
He must marry the Enemy Emperor if that is the cost for his nation's life.

Li Zhushi
This is our kingdom. You cannot act so-
Shen Yexue
Does your kingdom not know its own capabilities?
They were both kings, yet one was sitting on the mighty dragon throne while the other stood with his head bowed.
Folklore says that a king never bows. Folklore also says that everybody bows to the strong.
Shen Yexue held absolute power. He could annihilate the Kingdom of Great Li without breaking into sweat.
Li Zhushi
Your majesty, we are trying to discuss peace arrangements. *grits teeth*
Shen Yexue
Really? What does your nation have to offer that I don't already own?
Shen Yexue
Are you going to give me some measly cities?
Shen Yexue
I can have your entire nation if I command my generals. *laughs*
Shen Yexue
So...*leans closer*...offer me something I don't have.
Suddenly, almost as if on cue, the Empress entered with her kids.
Four tall figures with their heads held high walked into the magnificent hall one by one.
Eunuch
Empress Hua has entered.
Empress Hua
Greetings to your majesty.
Shen Yexue
*doesn't acknowledge her*
Eunuch
Crown Prince Li Xuan has entered.
Li Xuan
Greetings to your majesty.
Shen Yexue
This is your crown prince? *scoffs*
Eunuch
Eldest Princess Li Wei has entered.
Li Wei
Greetings, your majesty.
Li Zhushi
Your majesty, if our daughter...
Shen Yexue
Not pretty enough.
Eunuch
Youngest Prince Li Min has entered.
Li Xuan
(Why did the empress bring him here?)
Shen Yexue
*piqued by the mysterious behavior*
A man clad in simple white robes walked inside the room.
The Emperor on the high throne who seemed uninterested in these affairs jolted back to life.
He looked at the man— he who looked so much like a God's child.
Li Min
Greetings to your majesty *bows*
Li Min
*rises and stands beside his sister*
Li Zhushi
Your majesty *hesitant*
Shen Yexue
Will you agree to a marriage proposal for a peace treaty? *grins while looking at Li Min*
Li Min
*looking at his sister, worried*
Li Min
(Please don't let this man have her. Please.)
Li Zhushi looked at his kids, his heart felt heavy. Duties came first.
Shen Yexue
Then, father-in-law, you just saved your nation.
Li Min didn't notice his father's conflicted look at him. All he knew was that he wished to comfort his elder sister, but he couldn't.

Poor baby doesn't know what is coming for him T.T

He said the name softly, as if trying to feel it on his tongue. It made Li Min shiver.
Li Min
*looks at his father*
Li Min
*steps forward and stands in front of him*
Shen Yexue
How old are you?
Li Min
(Why is he talking to me? Shouldn't he talk to my sister?)
Shen Yexue
*smiles* Do you know how old we are?
He smiled at him as if he was smiling at a naive child.
Li Min
*uncomfortable by his gaze*
Shen Yexue
Are you betrothed to anyone?
Li Zhushi
(As if that would stop you, bastard)
Li Min
... No, your majesty.
Li Wei
(Understood what is happening)
Empress Hua
For the nation.
Li Wei
He...my brother...no
Empress Hua
It is his fate.
Shen Yexue
*steps up from his throne*
The moment he stepped up from his throne, the lower officials kneeled down and the higher ones bowed.
No one was allowed to look down at The Heaven's Son.
Shen Yexue
*walks towards Li Min*
Shen Yexue
Rise *to Li Min*
Li Min
*straightens his posture*
When Li Min lifted his eyes to meet Shen Yexue's his breath hitched.
In those eyes, all he saw was hunger and desire. It was as if those eyes belonged to a hawk looking at its prey.
Li Min
*steps back in fear*
Li Min
*looks at his father*
Li Min
*looks at his mother*
Empress Hua
*looking down*
Shen Yexue
Did we scare our consort?
Li Xuan
*hand at his sword*
Li Min looked at his family and understood his fate.
He couldn't refuse. He had no power to.
He was being forced to become a male wife.
Shen Yexue
So beautiful. *whispers in his ears*
Li Min
*trembling in anger and hatred*
Shen Yexue
*clicks his tongue*
Shen Yexue
Even your anger makes me difficult to control myself.
