The Slave I Raised Became a Mad Prince

My new novel is out, The Heroine I’m Clinging to Is Actually a Man?! Come check it out, meow!

Xie Lin transmigrates into the body of a frail young master in an ancient prime minister’s household, coughing every few steps and gasping for breath every few more.

At this very moment, the original owner has just ordered the male lead before him to be beaten up badly.

Xie Lin: It’s just a beating, right? I’ll do an even better job of beating him up.

He isn’t intimidated at all by the man’s status as the male lead. Every day, he either humiliates him or beats and berates him, but afterward he always offers him a sweet treat to make up for it.

The naive young master has no idea that those “sweet treats” are what give this lowly servant the audacity to reach above his station. He wants to drag the noble young master of the Prime Minister’s residence, the bright moon in the sky, down into the mud and pull him into his arms.

Later, the servant disappears, only to return as the lofty Crown Prince, asking for an engagement decree so he can take Xie Lin as his Crown Princess Consort.

Only then does Xie Lin belatedly realize that he seems to be the cannon-fodder male spouse of the male lead in a novel.

Xie Lin: I’m doomed.

But! Is this clingy person who wants to stay by his side every second, fusses over him all day, and sticks to him like a plaster really the lofty Crown Prince? He used to torment and humiliate him every day. How could the man not mind, get angry, or want to kill him?

Crown Prince: Beating is affection, scolding is love. Linlin beats and scolds me because he likes me. Did that slap just hurt your hand, Linlin? Want me to blow on it? And you over there, if you keep staring at my wife, I’ll gouge your eyes out!
