After the Obsessive Beauty Came Looking for Me

[Quiet, possessive beauty of a bottom x sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, devoted top]

1.

Li Lan is the Heavenly Emperor's grandson and the only son of the Seventh Princess, a little immortal raised with the utmost care by his parents.

One day, he accepts his fate and undergoes a trial, falling into the mortal realm. Stripped of his magic, he becomes a young doctor and saves a general who was ambushed, poisoned, and left on the brink of death.

Chen Li, a young general with countless military victories, has a noble, refined bearing even when injured. But poisoned and unconscious, he can't even take medicine.

Li Lan is innocent and unguarded when it comes to mortal feelings. He cares for Chen Li closely, feeding him medicine mouth to mouth, and before he knows it, his heart belongs to the man. But after Chen Li recovers, he keeps Li Lan at a painful distance, restraining the urge to grow close to him.

Undeterred, Li Lan follows Chen Li to a border city to serve as an army doctor. The little immortal, once protected by heaven and earth, ends up covered in scars and hideously disfigured...

He lies on the sickbed like a wounded beast, finally too exhausted to keep pursuing Chen Li. And Chen Li, cold and heartless as he is, suddenly feels an emptiness in his heart.

2.

When Chen Li was on the brink of death, he was saved by a beautiful physician with striking looks and an innocent nature.

He thought Li Lan was simply lonely, too naive to understand love. As for himself, he had crawled out of mountains of corpses, his life always hanging by a thread. He had never needed love...

He came up with all sorts of reasons to suppress his feelings and reject Li Lan.

But when he saw Li Lan lying on the bed, disfigured and covered in blood, it felt as if his heart had been carved out!

When he finally tried to turn back, Li Lan, battered in both body and spirit by his trials, had become like a frightened fledgling. He could never return to the carefree person he'd once been...

From now on, Chen Li would protect Li Lan with his life.

Bonus scene 1:

Chen Li watched the Xuanning Iron Cavalry he'd personally trained on the parade ground. Seeing how strong and robust they were, he frowned slightly.

The soldiers thought: The general isn't satisfied. Let's work harder and train ourselves to death!

Chen Li was thinking about Li Lan's skinny arms and legs. How could Li Lan be so thin when they were both men?

From then on, the meals at the general's residence went from three a day to five, and whenever Chen Li had a moment, he watched Li Lan eat.

Li Lan, an immortal who could hardly put on weight: O.o! He lowered his head and tried his best to chew and chew and chew.

Bonus scene 2:

A friend once asked Chen Li, "Don't you think that if any respectable young man were pestered the way you are by Doctor Li, he'd have reported it to the authorities by now?"

Chen Li: "Li Lan hasn't done anything wrong. Also, how am I not a respectable young man?"

His friend said aloud: "Yes, yes, of course." But thought: They're both crazy, and not just a little!

P.S.

1. One-on-one romance, both are each other's only partners in body and heart. There are angst-filled parts, but it has a happy ending.

2. The bottom has separation anxiety and is working through it. His disfigurement will heal.

Coercion | Sickly | Faux-incest | Bittersweet

*The blurb is told from the cousin's perspective. The cousin is not the protagonist. The main story is told in third person.

One-line blurb:

A melodramatic tale of a younger brother forcing his older brother to marry him by holding his brother's wife hostage.

Full blurb:

1.

My name is Yun Tian, the Crown Prince of Yan. My mother died when I was born, and my father is obsessed with cultivating the Dao and rarely shows his face.

When I was three, I entered Yanshu Academy to learn how to channel the vital energy within me. That's where I first met my cousin, Prince Yun Yi of Yong.

My older cousin was handsome and elegant, full of grace, like a noble phoenix. Just looking at him made me feel dizzy.

Yanshu Academy gave us one day off each month, and I always went to my brother's home. When I was with him, I'd cry if I fell, because then he'd help me up and wipe away my tears. His hands were big and warm, and he smelled wonderful, too.

That was the happiest day of my month.

But little by little, people started speaking ill of my brother, calling him arrogant, domineering, and ruthless. They also said my birth had stolen his rightful place as Crown Prince.

I was furious. I used my vital energy to kill them all without letting my brother find out.

2.

My brother turned twenty-eight and was about to take a princess consort.

After considering one candidate after another, he settled on a man named Ming Qu. He was a convict-slave, but I'd heard people say his beauty was the talk of the capital.

One day, I met Ming Qu. He was only twenty, tall and slender, with eyes like cold stars and skin like ice and snow. He really was beautiful.

But he didn't know what was good for him. Before the wedding, he tried to kill himself in a brutally gruesome way, splattering blood everywhere. It took a lot of my vital energy to save him. At least the wedding wasn't delayed.

3.

Ming Qu was the first male consort in Yan's history, and would probably be the only one ever to receive a noble title and a fief.

The servants at the prince's residence said that serving Marquis Ming'an was the easiest job, because the prince did everything for him, from feeding him medicine and meals to bathing and dressing him...

I once saw my usually fastidious brother catch the grapes Ming Qu spat out and say, "Be good. You can have more once you're better." His eyes were full of guilt and concern because he still hadn't found a way to cure Ming Qu.

And how did Ming Qu, Marquis Ming'an, repay my brother?

He used him to murder my father, all to avenge his dead second brother. My foolish brother saved him and was saddled with an eternal reputation as a regicide.

4.

I was summoned to the prince's residence again to treat an illness. After passing through layer upon layer of guards, I saw Ming Qu.

He lay pale on the bed, his eyes vacant, red marks covering his neck and wrists. The scene made me think of flowers scattering across the sky.

He'd been abused. It was clear my brother didn't love him anymore.

I thought I should avenge my father, too, and kill Ming Qu before becoming my brother's princess consort. Oh, no. I'm the emperor now, so I should make my brother empress.

P.S.

1. Both the top and the bottom have faux-incest storylines, with one-sided feelings for each other.

2. This is a rough version of the blurb. The premise will be polished further.

Theme: Protect our homeland and live without regrets
