[Too many chapters are locked, and unlocking them is not guaranteed. Buy with caution!] Gentle yet villainous top + unhinged beauty bottom [Openly seductive, with both sides knowing whether their feelings are real or fake] Jiang Yu, heir to the Jiang family, is a refined young gentleman famed for his social grace and ability to charm anyone. Yan Chen, the crown prince of Dongcheng, is cruel, capricious, and unpredictable, notorious for his scandalous behavior. Then one day, Yan Chen took a liking to Jiang Yu and used every threat and inducement at his disposal to make him his. For a time, the entire circle watched to see whether the east wind would overpower the west, or vice versa. A friend, eager to enjoy the spectacle, asked Jiang Yu, “You know what that man is like. He always gets whatever he wants. What are you going to do?” The refined, elegant man said nothing. He rubbed his fingertips together and remarked, “He really is a beauty.” His friend paused, then sincerely said, “I hope the crown prince has good luck.” Later, as rumors around their circle grew louder, Jiang Yu’s younger brother scratched his head and asked, “Brother Yu, does Yan Chen really like you?” Jiang Yu smiled, his voice as calm and deep as ever. “Only children talk about liking someone. Adults seduce each other.” * Everyone in their circle knew that Jiang Yu was calculating and Yan Chen ruthless and decisive. Their families were equally influential, and there was a sense that neither king would share the stage with the other. As the two schemed against and hurt each other, everyone watched the drama unfold, and some even placed bets on which of them would live and which would die. On the eve of a meeting, Jiang Yu arrived just in time. His clothes were still neat and elegant, but now there was a glaring bite mark on his neck. Curious, someone peeked into the lounge. The Crown Prince Yan, rumored to be locked in a fight to the death with Jiang Yu, was lounging on the sofa. He glanced up lazily. “I bit him. Got a problem with that?” Everyone: ...No, no problem. But what happened to the whole ‘kill or be killed’ thing? I know you are shrewd and ambitious; I know you are reckless and utterly wicked. I know you are calculating; I know you have ulterior motives. I know you are a hypocritical villain; I know you are ruthless and frivolous. I know better than anyone that you are no good; I know better than anyone that you are no saint; But just the same I know you love me, just as I love you. (Adapted from a passage in W. Somerset Maugham’s The Painted Veil.) A few things to know before reading [Important content warnings] The bottom has experience being the top. (If that’s a dealbreaker, don’t hesitate to run.
