The Sickly Beauty Master Took a Tumble

1. One day, the renowned Sage Lord of Danxiao, Shen Xi, discovered that he was the master of the protagonist in a novel: a frail, beautiful man. He was beautiful, true, but rotten to the core. In public, he was the refined and noble Sage Lord of Danxiao. In private, he was a petty schemer whom everyone who knew him avoided. He took advantage of the protagonist’s gratitude toward him, using him in every way and coveting his furnace physique. Eventually, he would use up the protagonist’s gratitude, exhaust his sect’s affection for him, and ruin his reputation among the righteous. In the end, the protagonist would shatter his bones and toss him into an abyss, where demons would gnaw at him day after day until he wished he were dead. Shen Xi didn’t care about the novel’s ending. He had only one great ambition, and nothing else mattered. So he continued to do as he pleased. But while he remained unchanged, he realized that everyone else had changed. 2. One day, Shen Xi attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The garden’s most magnificent bloom stood out among the flowers, earning everyone’s praise. Dressed in vivid red, Shen Xi’s eyes and brows were full of arrogance. “It’s nothing special.” The master of the Hundred Flowers Garden arrived after hearing of this. Rather than getting angry, he laughed. “You’re right. People are more beautiful than flowers.” Shen Xi: ? One day, the protagonist went about his usual routine of massaging his master to ease his sore muscles. Shen Xi stuck out his foot and lazily kicked him. “Do you even know how to serve someone? You can’t even give a decent back massage.” The protagonist stroked that pale ankle. “This disciple failed to do a proper job. I’ll certainly try harder next time.” Shen Xi: ?? Later, Shen Xi brought out his ultimate move. He reached out and pinched his disciple’s chin, his beautiful eyes and brows utterly nonchalant. “You’ve grown up. It’s time to repay me.” The protagonist took hold of his wrist and lifted him into his arms. “This disciple has been waiting for this day.” Shen Xi: ??? 3. Qin Yue was an unwanted beggar, a mad dog, and ugly. Yet someone frail and breathtakingly beautiful picked him up and took him home. The man tormented him, and tormented his heart even more. Read at your own risk: 1. A seemingly refined gentleman who’s actually a scheming mad dog gong vs. a sickly beauty shou who cares for the world and stops at nothing. Qin Yue gong vs. Shen Xi shou. 2. 1v1. The shou is doted on by everyone and has a bit of a heartthrob vibe. There’s a System, but it’s not very useful. It’s there for the atmosphere and to act cute, and gradually fades into the background. 3. A fluffy, cheesy, trope-filled story with no regard for logic. The author is letting loose. 4. No personal attacks. Pirated readers, behave yourselves. My upcoming story: "My Host Is Terrible at Acting [Quick Transmigration]" Please add it to your favorites!

I really didn’t mean to. Do you hate me now?” Ye Shu: “I’m doomed. I’m going to ruin the performance!” But the scum gong put an arm around his shoulders and said miserably, “I understand. I believe you!” Ye Shu: ??? Later, The cheap shou in the script is supposed to decisively break up with the scum gong, leaving him heartbroken and in disbelief. Ye Shu (tearful, heart turned to ashes): “Go! Get out! Get out of my sight! From now on, we’ll never see each other again!” But the scum gong still threw his arms around him and said miserably, “I don’t believe you! You’re lying to me!” Ye Shu: ??? Why does nobody believe him now that his acting has improved?!
