[Old-China, refined and reserved uke x German-born, gentle gentleman seme who is actually a cold-blooded madman]
Dear Mr. Ludwig,
The rose you gave me at the shop is slowly withering. I went to the church and borrowed the original manuscript you told me about from the priest. My Russian has improved a great deal. I hope God will watch over you on the battlefield.
Dear Mr. Ludwig,
I heard there have been a string of murders nearby, and the residents are all on edge. I’m frightened too. The priest says everyone bears original sin, and the Father never protects sinners who refuse to repent.
Dear Mr. Ludwig,
I was so happy when you invited me to the opera on that snowy night. If the encounter between the faun and the nymphs in Afternoon of a Faun is a dream, then I hope the snow in Saint Petersburg will fall forever.
Dear Mr. Ludwig, my love,
When the wanted notice arrived at my home, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
If you would rather slowly wither away, I’ll gladly die with you. Every night I pray, asking the gods to send you a rain of roses that will wash away your sins, in exchange for never being reborn.
In the early years of the Republic of China, a refined young scholar was tricked into traveling thousands of miles to Saint Petersburg, falling from heaven into hell and becoming the unluckiest person alive.
A strange society ravaged by blizzards.
Everyone discriminates against him, and everyone covets him.
For some reason, more and more perverts gradually gather around Tang Shi...
But at least he has his beloved Mr. Ludwig, the gentlest gentleman of all.
[Bonus Scene]
Tang Shi’s pale wrist was covered in bruises as he wiped away his tears and the lipstick at the edge of his lips. The other man’s cold leather glove brushed his chin and the curve of his ear, sending a shiver through him...
Even when he was right beside him, Mr. Ludwig was like a cold mist in winter, indistinct and hazy, forever out of reach.
Tang Shi had just been rescued from a trunk. He was like a gift offered up to a demon, disheveled, sullied, terrified, and shaken.
Fear filled his mind. Tang Shi nervously watched the gentleman undo the blood-red ribbon around him. He couldn’t deny that he had grown dependent on Ludwig, even as the other man’s oppressive presence held him in its grip.
Ludwig asked coolly, “Do you still believe they’re just friendly friends?”
With glittering tears on his lashes, Tang Shi, terrified to the limit, flung himself into Ludwig’s arms.

1. An indulgence-fueled story with lots of female gaze and male characters being doted on.
2. The uke is kissed and hugged by minor characters besides his official partner, though it’s against his will. If that’s a dealbreaker, run!
Please add my story Rose Knight (Genderbent Princess) to your reading list!
You’re lazy and have a bad case of procrastination. Every day, you like to scroll through mindless novels for a little nourishment. You’re one of the “few exceptions” according to your teachers, and one of the “minority” according to your company’s managers. You love playing Louis XVI in your rented apartment, imagining every day that the fan will fall and spin you to death.
After staying up late gaming and getting completely crushed, you accidentally open 100 Princess Games Every Girl Must Play, the game you loved as a child. To your delight, it hasn’t shut down yet.
The princesses who kept you company as a child are still suffering in the gaps between time and space.
[My dear knight or prince, the princess is trapped in a tower, waiting for you to save her.]
You’re stunned! Had your younger self really been so sweet and full of purpose?
“Only childhood games can heal the soul, sob.” After getting crushed by your teammates, you wail as you open the game.
And then, nothing.
The System voice rings out:
[My dear Rose, save the princess in the thorns, stranded in the wilderness. He is weeping after being brutalized by villains.]
[My dear Rose, in a castle deep in the mysterious forest, the sorrowful princess sings day and night. His throat bleeds and burns, yet he still won’t stop. Please free him from his plight.]
[My dear Rose, the princess who willingly became sea foam for love is trapped in a hunter’s cage, enduring the agony of a thousand cuts at every moment. You are his only salvation now.]
You take up a steel pipe as a makeshift knight’s sword and hack your way through the brambles!
You think: Were the games I played as a child really this bloody and terrifying?
At long last, after countless hardships, you push open the castle gates. The beautiful “princess” on the throne has rosy lips, white teeth, and long, thick black curls, like a delicate angel fallen to earth.
He rises elegantly, towering at six-foot-three. With ease, he crushes your silver sword, gently lifts you onto the throne, then kneels and humbly kisses the top of your rigid foot.
“Welcome home, my proudest knight.”
Useless and incompetent: that’s what you call yourself as an adult. But, dear Rose, you’re also a knight who grew up with love and hope in your heart.
Please love yourself a little more each day.
Theme: Even when struggling through the mire of the times, one must let hope bloom
The people around Xiao Tang are so childish, but I feel like being with Tang Shi is fine and he blends in perfectly. But compared to Ludwig, he is simply not on the same level, incomparable. 🍉
Do you engage in cold violence when you are discovered?!! This old road [angry]
??? Was it missed by the elevator attendant? How could such a powerful person like Gustav be hidden from the elevator attendant? Could this world be an imaginary and low-demon world? But then again, how did Ludwig know Tang Shi's location.
Teacher, you must be well-read💛💛
Don't scare our little Tang so suddenly~ It'll scare me too🤔. Ludwig was so calm. He must have noticed it as soon as he entered the room, and he could still talk to Xiao Tang so calmly. 🍉
Ludwig, stop pretending. When others go to hug your wife later, you can only remain silent on the surface but actually your heart is already exploding [Eh~]
Hey hey hey hey, our babies know how to make use of their beauty, but it's a pity that your worker is a hard-hearted and repressive monster. If the baby does something wrong, he will have to pay the price [Glasses][Glasses] Bad babies will be severely punished by the workers! 🌈🌈
Wow, this time again, did the little poor man come to the rescue after being punished for his recklessness? Ludwig, how do you feel when you see the little poor man being stained? Will you regret it someday in the future? Wow Gaga [Glasses] [Glasses]
Igor, just continue to scare your wife with this attitude of "I'm already crying and angry at myself!" !
Will Ludwig appear in the next chapter? It feels like the blow to Tang Shi has been enough. Don't let Xiao Tang have a psychological shadow if he doesn't show up to save others. Of course, it's delicious to hold on to other people's clothes because you're afraid and don't want them to leave🧋
