"This is so confusing, I still don’t get the plot line and especially what happened at the beginning, is it a time skip? Suddenly they miss each other? how long haven’t they seen each other. Oh so he dresses up new identities to meet Gu?"
"The pacing is something,, its very shitty..they skipped some scenes.. im sure the plot is interesting but i don’t understand anything in the manhua at all."
From the little I understood, the crown prince is trying to avoid his marriage with the daughter of the general. He is gay and fell in love with a guard of the palace, Gu Lang. Plus, he tries to remove the corruption from the palace, like the general (?) and other people.
The thing is, he hide his true identity since the moment Gu caught him on the roof. He said he was called Murong and he flirted a lot. Then they got close and all (but we didn't really saw that, the pacing is so weird). Then for wtv reason, he gave up this identity, making a story up about his death. Then a full year after (?), since he was missing Gu, he got another false identity (or borrowed the identity from another guy) as a guard, Wu Qi/Shin. He can hide who he is bc he wears a "mask" 'like in movie, to change his appearance + takes pills to change his voice.
Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Mask Has Dropped Again
