The Miaojiang Boy Has Returned for Revenge

Envoys from the Miao frontier came to Great Zhou to seek a bride, and Su Anning was chosen for the marriage. She had heard that the young lord of the Miao was hideous, with a blue face and fangs, and so violent that he killed people every day to refine gu. Su Anning was anxious throughout the journey and had even written herself a farewell letter. But before she ever met the young lord, she was attacked on the way to her wedding. She fled into the dense forests of the Miao frontier and accidentally became infected with gu. Luckily, she met a handsome young man from the Miao, and they struck a deal. He would cure her, and in return... she would belong to him. - Deep in the forest, insects rustled all around. A young woman suddenly appeared before Lu Chi and asked him to help remove her gu. Lu Chi thought her body would be ideal for raising gu, and he happened to be looking for someone to use as a human medicine vessel. Lu Chi never forced anyone. He preferred to make deals. The girl agreed. If he cured her, she would stay by his side forever and be his medicine vessel. - Su Anning learned the young man’s true identity. Terrified, she ran away. The marks of a woman’s kisses still lingered on Lu Chi’s body. He lifted his fingertips and brushed the stinging skin, remembering all the ways she had deceived him. His gaze darkened. - Su Anning was dreaming again. It had been three years since she left Lu Chi. Rain began to fall outside, pattering softly. She slowly opened her eyes and suddenly met a pair of gloomy eyes in the darkness. They were exactly like the eyes in her dream, only deeper and darker, shadowed by the passing years. The man sat inside, drenched from head to toe. His pale fingers stirred the teacup on the table, and his profile was strikingly beautiful, with a sinister edge. Su Anning sprang up and bolted through the door. Behind her, the man spoke in a low, eerie voice. “You took my gu.” “You can’t escape.” A damp, murderous young lord of the Miao × a delicate little princess sent away in marriage Romance-focused, all about falling in love. The heroine is not strong; she is weak. A slice-of-life story with plenty of random original worldbuilding. Theme: Stay alive
