Dormant Gu

[Warlord, Republican Era] Looking after the sister-in-law he fell for at first sight means betraying his brother, but not looking after her means betraying himself! On a rainy night in early spring, Ye Guanxing, fleeing for his life, stumbled into the arms of warlord Zhuo Hexian. After his parents died, the people entrusted with his care forced him to become a concubine. When he fled, the governor framed him with a shameful accusation. With nowhere else to turn, he stabbed the governor and ran for his life, only to cross paths with Zhuo Hexian. Wanted posters were plastered all over the city, and Ye Guanxing lived each day in fear of being killed. Zhuo Hexian used that fear to keep him by his side. As they spent day and night together, feelings blossomed between them. But Ye Guanxing eventually learned that Zhuo Hexian had been scheming at every turn from the moment they met. His tenderness was an illusion. His shelter, a cage. Overwhelmed by disgust, Ye Guanxing resolutely fled. The arrogant warlord embarked on a long, painful journey to win him back, burning away his pride and asking only for him to turn around.
