[Love Across a Sea of Hate] [A Scoundrel's Sincere Heart] [Love Growing Wild in the Heartless] [The Scoundrel's Desperate Pursuit]
[Bright, Innocent, Love-Struck Ray of Sunshine x Heartless, Unhinged, Dark and Gloomy Type]
Jing Fu is the daughter of Prince Jin and a court official, yet she falls helplessly in love with the Yan family's true son, who was only found again after many years.
She has taken a blade for him and tasted poison, risked her life to beg the emperor for mercy, and even willingly slept with him without being married to him to cure the Heart-Eating Powder poisoning in his body.
Every time, he gently wipes the tears from her face and tells her, "It's all right, A-Fu. I promise I'll take responsibility for you."
Jing Fu believes him completely, until she overhears Yan Heng talking with a friend and learns that he returned to the capital to avenge a blood-soaked vendetta.
She is nothing more than a dispensable pawn in his quest for revenge.
Heartbroken, Jing Fu follows her father's wishes and marries her childhood friend, her cousin.
But on their wedding day, the man who has risen to the highest ranks of the court arrives with troops to surround her husband's home.
That man, who has always remained unflappable even when a mountain crumbled before him, holds her tightly in his arms in front of her husband, eyes red and looking almost mad as he says, "A-Fu, I'm begging you. Take responsibility for me."
Yan Heng is a demon who crawled out of hell.
After returning to the capital, he treats everyone as a stepping stone to revenge, including the laughably naive young princess.
He uses her as an ingredient for his antidote, a toy to amuse himself when bored.
But when she no longer looks at him with the love she once had, he panics.
The Heart-Eating poison has been cured, yet Yan Heng tastes a heartbreak worse than ever before.
[She cherished him, and he treated her love like trash. But when she stopped loving him, he foolishly dreamed that she could love him as she once did. That was never going to happen. So even when Jing Fu heard that he had turned gray overnight, she didn't even furrow her brow. She thought, I'll never foolishly love Yan Heng again, even if he spends every day wagging his tail and begging at my feet.]
[Please Note]
1. Innocent and naive heroine vs. born villain. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, one-on-one romance. The heroine is extremely love-struck at first, but later becomes utterly resolute. The hero is a bastard who uses her for his own ends at first, but later his rotten heart grows sincere and he turns into her dog.
2. From the heroine's perspective, a devoted admirer rises to the top. From the hero's perspective, a casual fling becomes a proper relationship. The bastard completely loses it and launches into a desperate pursuit.
3. The second female lead is the crown princess and the heroine's cousin. She has a harem of many men and will eventually ascend the throne.
4. Set in an alternate Tang dynasty.
5. I can't write normal romance, so this story is just as dramatic and full of twists and turns as my others. It should be a very satisfying story about a scoundrel who finds a sincere heart.
6. This blurb was written on August 17, 2026, and a screenshot of the draft has been saved to Weibo.
Theme: When you fall for someone who doesn't love you, know when to walk away.
