The General's Beauty

[One-on-one, both leads are devoted only to each other] [A mix of sweetness and angst]

At the height of his ambition, Gu Zhili met Chaoge, a naive little fool who trusted people far too easily.

He gave him candy, protected him, and led him out of the abyss, only to lay trap after trap for him to fall into.

The little fool believed General Gu was the kindest person in the world to him. He gave everything he had in return, even risking his life.

Until Gu Zhili gripped him by the throat and said cruelly, “Know why I treated you so well? Heh. You know your constitution is special, but you don’t know that a living person makes the most effective sacrifice to the cauldron when they offer themselves willingly.”

The little fool was tormented until he had shed every tear and bled dry. One eye was blinded, and his broken body had only one last breath left. Only then did Gu Zhili truly panic.

He was willing to cut out his own bones and draw his blood, use a forbidden life-extending technique, and bring down heavenly tribulation that would cost him half his lifespan, all to save that little fool.

But the little fool would never trust him again.
