The Hated Villainous Bottom Doesn't Want to Die

In the fourth year of being secretly imprisoned by the crown prince, Yuan Zhuo met Shen Zhi, who had come into the villa to take shelter from the rain.

Shen Zhi saw through his act of pretending to be insane at a glance.

And Yuan Zhuo could tell at once that Shen Zhi was no good person.

But Shen Zhi was the only person other than the crown prince whom he had seen in four years.

So he clutched Shen Zhi's trouser leg, gazed up at him with pitiful eyes, and rasped, "Save me."

-

Beneath Shen Zhi's laid-back exterior was a proud, volatile nature.

There were two kinds of things he disliked most:

Dirty things, and damaged things.

Yet, because of a pointless deal, he brought home a pitiful thing that was both dirty and wicked.

He mended it piece by piece, until it was like a dusty piece of jade, eye-catching and pleasing to behold.

But before he had a chance to cradle it in his hands and admire it,

that piece of jade turned into a poisoned blade

After stabbing him through the heart, it vanished without a trace with the one it loved.

★ Paranoid, fiercely protective mad-dog demon lord x vengeful, wicked beauty

1. The bottom is a crybaby; both leads are virgins.

2. Both are villains. The top is a complete lunatic with an intense crush, and gets even darker after he falls.

3. Mild noncon, hurt/comfort, and a confinement scene.
