[Two Male Leads, 1v1 · Angst and Abuse Early On · Devoted Pampering Later · A Real Regretful Chase · Funny, Sweet, and Painful]
Gu Xiao, the regent, married Nangong Ling, the illegitimate son of the Nangong family. On their wedding night, he made Ling kneel and pour him a drink, then spilled it on the floor. “You think you’re worthy?”
Nangong Ling smiled and kowtowed. Then he slipped laxatives into Gu Xiao’s tea and ground his ink into lumpy clumps, until he turned Gu Xiao’s wolfhound into his own lovesick puppy.
Gu Xiao felt that something was increasingly wrong with him!
Why did it hurt so much that he couldn’t sleep all night after making Nangong Ling kneel in the snow?
Why did seeing Nangong Ling smile at someone else make him want to kill?
Then one day, Nangong Ling left behind a letter of divorce and vanished without a trace.
Gu Xiao went mad. He searched every inch of the land, then knelt in the snow for three days and nights. “Lingling, I was wrong... You want my heart? It’s yours. Please don’t throw me away!”
The whole court waited to laugh at the regent, but the emperor just munched on melon seeds and said, “Serves him right.”
Reader warning: The male lead is a real jerk early on, but later he’ll kneel and sing his surrender.
😂Looks sad at first glance, is it a sweet article?
