A Gentle Knife

Su Yuanjing was held captive by Shen Qi for three years. Day and night, he was drugged and forced to lose himself in a sea of lust with him, becoming Shen Qi's secret lover for all those years. The once-gentle university professor was left in a wretched state. Then, when Shen Qi grew tired of him, he kicked him out of that enormous prison. He should have been overjoyed, but that was only what should have happened. After being away for three years, he made the heartbreaking discovery that he had fallen in love with the monster who would stop at nothing. He craved Shen Qi's body, and every night the cold bed became a torment, like a deadly poison burrowing into his bones and slowly eating away at his fragile nerves. Su Yuanjing hated Shen Qi, and the more he hated him, the more he missed him. Three years later, Su Yuanjing returned to where it had all begun, carrying a heart full of hatred and love. With a dazzling beauty carefully disguised, and immense power in his hands, his first act was to bring men to the nightclub where Shen Qi was reveling night after night, kidnap him, and lock him inside the prison where Su Yuanjing had once lived, returning every humiliation in kind. Three years ago, I hated that you loved me and wanted to kill you. Three years later, I hate that you don't love me, and I'll keep you by my side even if it costs me my life. A monster belongs with a monster, and tenderness belongs with despair! Su Yuanjing is the gong, Shen Qi is the shou. No switching, no reversing. They're a perfect match, a match made in heaven! Content warning: Non-consensual love and unfaithfulness. The gong used to be straight and had a girlfriend, but he was forced to break up with her. The woman wasn't a good person either. The shou sleeps with anyone, but has always been the one on top with others. If this bothers you, proceed with caution.
