The Xie Heir Humiliated Me for Three Years. After I Died, He Went Mad

[Beautiful tragedy · regretful pursuit · angsty romance between two men] On the day Gu Huaoting was shoved into the bridal sedan, he was wearing the wedding dress his younger sister had left behind. His sister had believed a rumor that the young master of the Xie family was a homosexual, so she left a note and fled on the eve of her wedding. To preserve the marriage alliance with the Xie family, the Gu family shoved him into the bridal sedan that very night and sent him to the Xie residence as a “gift.” He was the legitimate son, a man, and a laughingstock forced to marry in his sister’s place. Everyone thought Gu Huaoting wouldn’t survive three days in the Xie residence. He was a cast-off his family had sent away as a gift; his husband treated him like a spy, and he was thrown into the most desolate courtyard to fend for himself. But he insisted on living. He picked the gold thread out of his wedding dress and sold it for money, pieced together the truth from scraps of prescriptions and last words, endured every humiliation in silence, then used those calm eyes to make his tormentors answer for it all. Xie Zhaoyun thought he was taming prey. But only when Gu Huaoting stood before him and said, word by word, “I hate you,” did he realize that this man had never been prey.
