Description
Before Shen He could even find a boyfriend in his own time, he found himself transported into a novel, taking the place of a doomed character destined for tragic betrayal. This character was raised by the male protagonist himself, entrusted and nurtured as his closest powerful minister, only to ultimately betray and meet a brutal death at the male protagonist’s hands. Shen He: Trembling in fear. Assuming the role of the powerful minister was far from what Shen He desired. He’d rather cling to the male lead’s coattails, hoping that with his support, he could wield some influence and perhaps even find an attractive boyfriend someday. And so began Shen He’s diligent journey to ingratiating himself. When he learned to speak, his first word was “Crown Prince”. When he learned to walk, the first person he ran to was the Crown Prince. When he learned to write, the first name he wrote was again, “Crown Prince”. After years of dedication, Shen He became a trusted figure by the Crown Prince’s side. All in all, he enjoyed his role: the perks were grand. By the time he turned twenty, he hoped to retire with a treasure trove and lead a life of luxury. He had it all planned out: he would relocate to Jiangnan, a place known for its scenic beauty, and perhaps find a handsome man to call his own. As days turned into nights, Shen He finally witnessed the male protagonist overcome all obstacles, ascending to unparalleled power. Shen He rejoiced: Retirement, here I come! That very night, he packed his bags, exchanged his wealth, and contacted a close friend to accompany him to Jiangnan. But instead of his friend, the male protagonist arrived. The male lead, holding Shen He’s chin with a dangerous tone, said, “I heard you’re planning to settle down in Jiangnan and are even thinking of finding a handsome young master to wed?” Shen He replied nervously, “Is it wrong to want a man?” The male lead smiled, “Of course not. Choose me, let your ‘Prince Brother’ make you his queen.” #All I wanted was to lay low, but he wants me to be his queen #Do I look like someone fit to be the Empress to you?

My Thoughts on The Scheming Novel’s Male Protagonist was Swayed by Me
This novel presents a fascinating twist on the transmigration trope, setting the stage for a charming and slow-burn romance against a backdrop of ancient China. While it has its undeniable strengths, there are a few aspects that might not appeal to every reader.
First Impressions
The initial premise grabbed my attention immediately: a protagonist reborn into a novel he's read, determined to avoid a tragic fate by clinging to the male lead. This guardian relationship between the young MC and the Crown Prince ML, promised a unique dynamic right from the start. The cuteness of the MC's childhood was definitely a selling point!
What Works Well
I found the progression of the story quite enjoyable. The development of feelings between the MC and ML felt genuine, with a clear devotion growing on both sides. The author did a great job in this aspect. The side characters were also well-developed and added depth to the story, especially the MC's "bros" and the tsundere fifth prince. The plot moved at a good pace, and I never felt bored or lost.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that gave me pause was the age difference and the initial power dynamic between the MC and ML. The fact that the ML essentially raised the MC does introduce a pseudo-incestuous element that some readers might find uncomfortable. While the story attempts to address this, it's definitely something to be aware of going in.
Additionally, while some found the slow-burn romance appealing, I also felt that the story lacked significant external conflict. There wasn't much political intrigue or major challenges to the MC and ML's relationship. This made the story a bit "bland".
