[Pretty Little Trouble × Cold, Obsessive Madman]

Su You'an was reborn.

He had returned to the rainy night when he discovered that he was the fake young master.

In his previous life, after stumbling upon the secret that "Su You'an is dead," he went from a pampered young master to a prisoner, and ultimately his father shot him dead.

This time, he turned around before reaching the cemetery, but lost control and crashed his car on a stormy night.

When he woke, Le Qing, the empire's most dangerous general, was pressing a gun to his temple.

"Who sent you?"

Su You'an promptly flopped onto the floor. "My head's spinning..."

He managed to fool everyone except Le Qing.

They met again at the military academy's shooting range. Su You'an fired blind with his eyes closed and hit a perfect ten every time. Le Qing seized his wrist and dragged him away in front of everyone.

At his private residence, Le Qing looked down at him. "Who are you, really?"

"Oh, my hand hurts, my leg hurts, and my head hurts even more..." Su You'an fell to the ground and closed his eyes, pretending to be dead. "...I can't talk anymore."

And then he really did lie there on the floor without saying another word.

Le Qing was so exasperated he almost laughed, and was just about to press him for answers.

His older brother kicked the door open and stood in front of Su You'an. "A dignified general personally tests a new cadet? How extraordinary."

When a military jeep forced the kidnappers to stop, Su You'an was slumped across the back seat, barely conscious, with blood still seeping from the wound on his neck.

After this ordeal, Le Qing used protecting a witness as an excuse to keep him at home while he recovered.

Su You'an's older brother came to get him.

Le Qing showed no mercy. "Your younger brother is perfectly safe here. When Master Su truly learns how to be a proper guardian, I'll personally take him home."

After his brother left, Le Qing bluntly told Su You'an that his father had already tried to kill him, then asked what he planned to do next.

Su You'an put on an unconcerned smile. "Who in the entire empire would dare oppose the Su family?"

Le Qing looked at him and answered with utter certainty, "I would."

Before long, news of their political marriage rocked the imperial capital.

Their wedding was lavish, with roses stretching for miles and military cars there to greet them.

Everyone said Le Qing had gone mad. After five years of war, the first time he'd asked the queen for a reward, it was to marry the Su family's illegitimate son, the one no one thought much of.

Su You'an himself thought the marriage would never last.

It was only a marriage of convenience. They each got what they wanted. He needed Le Qing's protection against his father's assassins. As for why Le Qing was willing to get involved in this mess...

He never gave it much thought.

But after they married, he gradually realized that Le Qing treated him far too well.

Before signing the agreement, Le Qing had promised him three things: no interference, no obstruction, and no coercion. After the wedding, Le Qing honored every one of them.

Without a word, Le Qing removed all the spies his father had planted around him. The celebrated general personally cooked for him, and the usually stern face softened with affection whenever he looked at Su You'an.

Everyone could see that the general had fallen for him.

Le Qing's perspective:

My boyfriend shot me through the heart, then vanished without a trace. Everyone called him a traitor, but I didn't believe them. For five years, I searched wherever the fighting took me.

On the day the war ended, I happened upon a young man.

He didn't remember who I was, and I was furious.

I desperately wanted to make sure, and forced myself to stay calm.

Watching him force a smile, I felt my nose sting...

He hadn't been doing well all these years.

Su You'an's perspective:

I got seriously ill, woke up, and couldn't remember anyone. Dad keeps trying to kill me, too 😅. It's not like I've done anything terrible. If I can't beat him, can't I just run away?

Hey, why does this handsome, weird-tempered general keep giving me a hard time? 😡 I'm a law-abiding citizen, okay!

Wait, hold on... What! You're saying you want to marry me?

Inner thoughts: With the general protecting me, let's see what that old bastard can do to me now 😈

An outwardly domineering, abstinent general who is actually an obsessive, devoted madman VS an outwardly obedient, pitiful young master who is actually passionate and flamboyant

[Reader's Note]

1. An alternate modern-era setting, not a futuristic world, and no insect people or interstellar setting.

2. Le Qing is 189 cm tall, Su You'an is 176 cm. Both are sexually inexperienced, with the top older by two years. Happy ending.

3. They are each other's only partners in body and heart. The older brother's love is unrequited throughout.

4. Su You'an was artificially altered, lost all his memories, and looks different.

Theme: Love is a spark that never dies, even in the depths of despair.
