Joyful Tales

[Obsessive, blind, and dangerously powerful top × gentle, stoic, fake-mute bottom | Forced love + a long road to winning back his wife]

“Little liar, it’s been five years. Have you enjoyed pretending to be mute?”

As cold handcuffs locked around his wrists, the baby in Li Jinhuan’s arms began to whimper in fright. He hurriedly covered the child’s ears, but the moment he looked up, he met Chen Xiunian’s bloodshot eyes.

Born into darkness, the man could see again now, but his eyes held nothing but an obsession that would burn everything to ashes.

Five years ago, he had been the only light in Chen Xiunian’s dark world. But when Chen Xiunian’s father threatened, “Break up with him, and I’ll let him see you,” he vanished without a trace, taking his secret with him.

Five years later, they met again. He claimed his name was Zhao Xubai and scraped by with a little shop on the corner and an innocent child to care for. But after one drunken night, the name “Xiunnian” slipped from his lips, unleashing the other man’s madness.

“Zhao Xubai?” Chen Xiunian gripped his chin, his thumb rubbing over lips pressed tightly shut. “Then why does it sound like you’re calling me?”

When the truth about the corneas came to light, when the secret of his unusual constitution was exposed, when Chen Xiunian discovered that the person he had longed for day and night had endured so much alone...

The unhinged powerhouse roared, eyes red: “Who gave you the right to decide for me?!”

But he only shook his head in silence, burying his battered heart even deeper.

Was this imprisonment in the name of love a salvation, or another descent into the abyss?
