-----------▼Story blurb▼-----------
★One.
Lin Qian, one of Jiawen Star's two most famous generals, was left disabled after an “accident,” with crippled legs and only partial vision in both eyes.
In the end, the emperor even banished him to the lawless wasteland city at the very bottom of the empire.
Lin Qian planned to lie flat and enjoy his retirement in Wasteland City, but its lord turned out to be his former political rival, the other of Jiawen's two generals, the fearsome Aoris Reed, who had been exiled long ago.
Aoris sneered. “My dear General Lin, you've finally fallen into my hands. I...”
Lin Qian (lying flat): “Go ahead.”
Aoris: “?”
Lin Qian: “Thanks for the offer, but I'm already a wreck. I can't fight. I'm lying down already.”
Aoris Reed looked at the ground strewn with thugs and fell into thought.
★Two.
The hottest gossip in Wasteland City was that the lord had been forced by the dog emperor to marry a pretty little songbird.
The songbird was beautiful and delicate, had trouble walking, and seemed to be blind as well.
Everyone assumed he was an easy target, until the songbird knocked them down one by one with his cane, muttering all the while:
“You've got to be kidding me. Are people this useless for real?”
“Oh my, dear handsome man, we songbirds don't even entertain people this weak anymore.”
The underlings, who lived by the sword, were furious. Delighted to see their leader arrive, they eagerly expected him to teach the insolent little songbird a lesson.
But the leader did show up, only to say helplessly, “My dear general, had enough fun yet?”
Underlings: “What?? General???”
Oh no, wasn't that their leader's secret crush?!
#If I called the leader's crush a songbird, is it too late to be reborn?#
★Three.
Everyone on Jiawen Star thought General Lin and General Aoris were sworn enemies.
After all, they'd argue and trade insults in front of His Majesty every few days, as if they couldn't wait to fight each other. Whenever they happened to meet on the battlefield, they'd shoot at each other while cursing each other out as old mutts.
So when the emperor maliciously announced an imperial marriage decree,
former political rivals and betrayed friends alike assumed that the disabled General Lin would be tormented by the fearsome Aoris.
Everyone thought maliciously: Such a beautiful, crippled man was sure to be abused in every possible way, left begging for death but unable to die.
But after Aoris led the Wasteland Army straight to the capital, overthrew the old emperor, and made himself emperor, these same people scrambled to curry favor with the new ruler, preparing all sorts of lavish gifts.
No one could have imagined that in the great hall, the new emperor would look tenderly at the general seated on the throne before him.
“Be good. I'll take you to get your injuries treated.”
“Can you talk like a normal person?”
“Fine, darling.”
“...Get lost.”
“I was once the most wretched stray dog in the muck.
You never cared about the light you lit for me, but I want to give you a world made clean, one that can shine for you.”
A cold and murderous man to everyone else, but an elementary-schooler when it comes to his beloved top × a smooth-talking old hand, occasionally a little cheeky bottom
Aoris Reed × Lin Qian
A story about a beautiful, bright young general who gave up everything, and the fierce beast forged in battle who saves him.
Don't let the serious tone fool you! At heart, it's still a romance!!
[Reader's guide]
1. The bottom used to be a sunny, righteous young general, and he's beautiful and adorable.

3. The bottom has several disabilities: partial blindness, an old leg injury, and various minor ailments. He'll recover later.
4. The bottom had a very rough past, so there'll be a little angst, but plenty of sweetness! I promise things will be very sweet once the couple gets together!

-----------▼Upcoming novel blurb▼-----------
"Married by Contract to the Future Villain [Book Transmigration]"
★Blurb One.
Love's Counterattack is a melodramatic novel. Its protagonist is the genuine young master of the Lu family, recently brought home. He endures humiliation to marry a powerful tycoon, takes over the tycoon's fortune, defeats the villainous boss, and reaches the pinnacle of life.
Yu Ji transmigrated into the powerful tycoon who marries the protagonist, falls hopelessly in love, and eventually has his fortune seized.
Yu Ji: “...What kind of stupid plot is this?”
Looking at the protagonist, who was kneeling before him, forced to marry him, Yu Ji had a thousand ways to make sure the man never got back on his feet. But when he saw the familiar face behind the protagonist, he changed his mind.
Gazing at that face, Yu Ji pointed at the young man, his mood brightening. “From now on, he's mine.”
The next day, City A was in an uproar. Mr. Yu's marriage partner wasn't the beloved biological son recently found by the Lu family, but Lu Zecheng, the illegitimate son they'd neglected since childhood.
Everyone said Lu Zecheng had married into a powerful family. Only he knew that when that gentleman looked at him, the eyes reflected someone else.
★Blurb Two.
Even with a business empire, Yu Ji had worked himself to death in his previous life. After transmigrating into a book, he was rich all over again, and all he wanted was to treat his business ventures as a pastime.
A marriage of convenience would fend off the original owner's admirers and get him a loyal employee at no cost. It was a win-win, with no hassle.
There was just one problem: this new employee wasn't as easy to work with as the old one.
In their first year of marriage, Lu Zecheng wanted to work at Yu Ji's company. Looking at his face, Yu Ji nodded perfunctorily. “You know how to share the housework. Go ahead and give it a try.”
In their second year of marriage, Lu Zecheng acquired a plot of land the protagonist desperately needed. Yu Ji clapped in surprise. “You're a quick learner. You've improved a lot.”
In their third year of marriage, Lu Zecheng wiped out the protagonist's entire family. Yu Ji praised him with satisfaction. “Not bad, not bad. You've got his flair.”
By their nth year of marriage, Lu Zecheng was worth hundreds of millions, and his cold, aloof face was all over Forbes magazine.
His employee was becoming more and more to his liking, but Yu Ji had a vague feeling something was off.
For example, the young lover he'd kept out of boredom had his legs broken. Someone bought the teahouse he liked to visit. The sapphire he'd admired on an auction list the day before had been cut into a ring and slipped onto his finger the next day. When he opened his eyes, the person beside him was still kissing his fingertips.
There was no question who was responsible. Yu Ji turned to Lu Zecheng. “You've overstepped. Move out, and let's go our separate ways.”
But the person across from him pinned him against the headboard. The lurking beast bared its fangs, though its voice was as gentle as ever.
“Do you not like my face anymore? Are you tired of me?”
Yu Ji: “=.= Enough, Lu Cheng. Stop pretending.”
A former big shot who just wants to enjoy life, bottom × a patient, obsessive current big shot, top
Reader's guide:
Both the top and bottom transmigrate into a book. The top transmigrates first, with no memories, and recovers them later. Lu Zecheng and Lu Cheng are the same person.
Theme: Face life with a smile.
Living the poor life in the deserted city, I forgot that the background of this book is quite high-tech... (Humbly
Then I took advantage of the situation and kidnapped Qian Qianzi with food!
Boil the frog in warm water~ Cook Xiao Qianqian~
Wuwu, I'm asking for leave today. I'm sorry for you. Wuwu, everyone wants to read and talk about it. But I went to negotiate with Oris, but he didn't agree and beat me seriously. So you will definitely forgive me for asking for leave, right? Wuwuwu.
The monster and his sun have a fairy tale future
I still think Ruilan is such a fool... Trusting others and trying to get things that don't belong to her.
Unreasonable anger. I'm so annoyed by Ruilan. He's obviously been a friend and knows what kind of person the other person is, but he blames others for why he was thrown into the slums.
Hahahaha Qianqian maid outfit prpr
Diary, then what, then what
The main text is just waiting to show off those non-CP fans and shock them!
Dear author, when is the grand ceremony for the queen seal? I can't wait (?) I can't just get the certificate but not have a wedding (?ò ? ó?)
