[Young Master from a Merchant Family, Pursuer × Fallen Opera Performer, Pursued]
[There are additional BG/GL/BL side couples. Please proceed with caution.]
[The setting is from a long time ago. When the author wrote this, they were still in high school and immersed in love stories between men. They hadn’t thought things through carefully or given them much consideration, so the story includes the same deception setup as number 7. Partway through writing, the author began to see things clearly, leading to a long hiatus while they considered how to reconcile the settings in what had already been published. The rest of the story is now fully planned, and updates will resume gradually. The deceived characters will get their revenge and retribution later on.]
[The original plan was for a happy ending, but after giving it more thought, the author decided that some elements could neither be resolved nor forgiven, so the ending will ultimately be tragic.]
Some people know the sweetness of falling in love at first sight the moment they meet. Ji Fengyan understood long ago that some things were impossible for him to escape, from beginning to end.
Ji Fengyan had always despised the father who deceived his mother, and hated even more the people his father had been involved with, not to mention himself, born as the product of that deception. So he had etched his refusal to have anything to do with his father and the others deep into his bones, until one unexpected encounter made him fall for that one person at first sight.
Yu Qiongan had always been able to keep his fate firmly in his own hands, until the people around him multiplied, along with the number of people caught up in his affairs.
He knew all too well what would happen if he let himself get entangled at every turn. So when he realized he had become someone’s leverage, someone’s weakness, he resolved to be even more ruthless.
After all, no one understood better than him just how unreliable love could be.
But perhaps they could still say goodbye to each other.
It's really beautiful and the writing is superb!
