Never North

Blurb:

Zhong Xiaobei doesn’t like men.

Yet he gets tangled up with three of them.

Huo Shiming keeps him, Huo Yinian loves him, and Tan Xu won’t leave him alone.

Luckily, he wants none of them.

Sharp-tongued but timid beauty bottom x deranged control freak / younger man who humiliates and pursues / hypocritical, dark schemer

Coercion / class difference / melodrama / open ending / one-on-one pairings at different stages / rivalry for the bottom

Read Beforehand: Content Warnings

1. The first top is fifteen years older than the bottom. He has a wife, and while he and the bottom get involved, he and his wife are separated but not divorced. He’s an older control freak.

2. The first and second tops are biological father and son. The first and third tops are rivals.

3. The bottom is afraid of pain, has a foul mouth, and is a coward, so don’t expect him to pull himself together and beat up the scumbag tops.

4. The first and third tops are not sexually exclusive; the second top is.

5. There’s a class difference, and the bottom will suffer. He runs away later, and there will be a rivalry-filled harem showdown, but the ending is open.

6. An old-school, melodramatic flavor, very melodramatic [emphasis]. If you can’t handle it, don’t force yourself!

7. No rule-breaking or non-consensual scenes, and no LT.
