The Arrogant Blade Bows to Me

CP: A naturally rebellious, fiercely vengeful, ruthless and decisive, devoted but untamed, ice-skinned puppy seme x a sickly beauty who's a good-for-nothing wastrel [The one on the left is the seme!] “That New Year's Day, snow blanketed the northern outskirts of the capital, where the camp stood. It became a nightmare I could never escape. The cavalry's icy blades pointed down at me. A blood-stinking, ice-cold weapon, sharp enough to make my hair stand on end, rested against my neck. The moment I swallowed the poisoned wine, His Majesty bestowed on me the title of Marquis of Changning. Blood ran down the banners, leaving no room for another word. The vast realm could never be filled with the bones of its soldiers. The court gave me only one choice: either sacrifice the realm for me, or send me alone to face it.” In short, it's the story of “a calculating, seemingly frivolous and fragile beauty who spends years plotting to settle accounts with everyone, only to miscalculate one day, fail to use a penniless, unconventional chuunibyou who especially hates the court's lackeys and the Marquis of Changning, and end up getting bitten instead, with the guy clinging to him.” *The recipient is heartless, and the seme is a genuine bastard too.

If you drop the novel, do it with grace, and there's no need to tell me afterward. You might only get angrier as you type, and if I see it, I'll end up crying to my friends. Let's save each other some time. Rounded up, we'll both live two hours longer. Don't you agree, friend? ^_^ Next novel: Love Expires The favored can afford to be fearless; the unspoken love remains faithful to the end. It took Wen Zui just one moment, after knowing Fu Quchun for three years, to fall in love with him. But he spent nearly ten years loving Fu Quchun without expecting anything in return. The trouble was, this relationship, which was a bad deal by every measure, was one Wen Zui had begged for himself. He never gave up, and he got what he wished for, until in the end there was no way out. But after thinking he would spend his whole life loving Fu Quchun while hating himself, his long-lost self-respect finally arrived, late but not too late. At his age, it was time to treat himself like a person. He thought it over carefully, glanced at the calendar, and decided: Today. I'm done loving him. Spring is in the air. Love doesn't wait past its expiration date. The seme, who only realized several days later that his wife had really left: ? #Where's my wife?##Why did my wife skip slapping me and go straight to leaving?# #Wife, say something.

Stay away from my wife! Shameless!# ∑(O_O;) CP: A shameless, sweet-talking, thoughtful, naturally unfaithful man x a gentle, resilient recipient who's cultured and steadfast, never crosses the line, then crosses it once and gives his whole self away Theme: Understanding the world and changing it are two fundamental human activities.
