After Adopting My Enemy’s Son, I Spend Every Day Making Up for It

[Revenge plot × political intrigue + historical fantasy + a little angst + pure deception]

Short story. Three male leads. Not BL. Not a wish-fulfillment story. Plot-focused.

(This isn’t romance. I didn’t tag it as romance, so I have no idea why it suddenly got labeled that way when I signed the contract. I’m exhausted.)

When Xiao Muyun was eighteen, he adopted a child: the child of his enemy. He originally planned to use the child to carry out his final revenge, but as they spent time together, he slowly began to waver.

Ji Lingchi has lived a lie ever since the moment he was adopted. He is a pawn who has been deceived and used, a person who is both insecure and resilient.

A beautiful dream woven from lies, drawing people deeper and deeper in.

When people are blinded by hatred, their minds aren’t clear.

This story is not about someone inevitably falling in love with their enemy.

Note: Every faction in the story has five ranks: Sect Leader, Young Leader, Hall Leader, Deputy Hall Leader, and Lower Officer. The Young Leader is generally the most likely successor to the Sect Leader. No further explanation is given in the story.

(Might contain things that are dealbreakers for you.)
