Little Pearl, Little Pearl

Ji Zhu’s family was poor, but his older brother spoiled him rotten. So Ji Zhu never thought of himself as poor. He saw himself as a precious pearl, and strutted around with his nose in the air, practically holding his head up to the sky. Because he was so showy, Ji Zhu was kidnapped. After escaping, he got lost and survived by selling himself. Those people were awful. Bullying him wasn’t enough; they also mocked him for his name and called him a pig. Ji Zhu couldn’t tell whether he was a precious pearl cherished in someone’s palm, or a little pig fattening up in the palm of someone who had their eye on him. He hated his childhood nickname. - Content warnings: The bottom is intersex. The story contains lots of feminization of the bottom and cross-dressing. It’s fairly melodramatic, not a fluffy romance. The top has a clean past, and so do the incidental characters and cannon fodder. Theme: Everyone deserves to be loved.
