The Frail Beauty Caught the Obsessive’s Eye

[★Support the author by reading the official version!★] [Coming soon: He and the Evil Spirit Fell in Love with Themselves] Blurb: Su Chen transmigrates to the end of the Jin Dynasty. Though frail and often ill, he has loving parents, and he wouldn't mind living out an uneventful life like this. That is, until someone breaks into the Chancellor's residence at night. The next day, in his carriage, Su Chen meets the gaze of a grim-faced man on horseback: Xue Fengzhou, the great general described in the history books as famously ruthless and cruel. From then on, Su Chen keeps running into Xue Fengzhou anytime, anywhere. At his birthday banquet, Xue Fengzhou enters the residence with his sword and sits beside him. While Su Chen is recuperating at White Horse Temple, Xue Fengzhou enters his room in the middle of the night. On New Year's Eve, Xue Fengzhou wakes him from his sleep. Su Chen decides to steer clear of Xue Fengzhou. But then he sees the general waiting at the gate in armor, holding a spear, his face dark and gloomy, looking as if he's about to arrest him. Xue Fengzhou hauls him onto a horse and rides through the long streets straight to the military camp. Su Chen thinks the man is going to put him through drills on the training ground and humiliate him. Sure enough, Xue Fengzhou later gives him a thorough workout, just not the kind Su Chen had imagined. Furious, Su Chen curses Xue Fengzhou with every swear word he can think of. Xue Fengzhou gazes at him with burning warmth in his eyes. “Young master, curse me a little more. I love listening to you.” This general is nothing like the man described in the history books. Su Chen suspects he has transmigrated into some kind of fanfiction. ★ In his previous life, Xue Fengzhou returned to the capital from the borderlands, only to be framed by treacherous ministers and trusted aides. Reborn, he acts with cunning and cruelty, watching coldly as those who betrayed him in his previous life meet their ruin through his schemes. Everyone respects him, hates him, fears him, and has no choice but to curry favor with him. He finds it all dull. Until he sees the young man adored by everyone in Shengjing, with a sacred cinnabar mark between his brows and alluring, flirtatious eyes. Xue Fengzhou reins in the violence in his nature around him. He feeds the feverish young man medicine, holds the drowsy boy who cries that he's cold, and indulgently kisses his ankle when the boy curses him in anger. Looking at the young man's pale, beautiful face and trembling fingertips, Xue Fengzhou's expression is tender and besotted. He says, “Surely you and I are in love with each other, young master. Aren't we?” // Mad dog of a gruff man × sickly beauty // Older seme // Reader's guide: ★ One-on-one pairing, locked in; both are virgins, no secondary couples. ★ Some supporting characters have one-sided feelings for the bottom. Shen and Lu both like him, but I won't write a secondary couple. ★ The bottom is sickly; the seme is a shameless lunatic, incredibly shameless, especially shameless, and not exactly burdened by morals. All he thinks about is getting intimate with the bottom. ★ The dynasty is fictional and not based on any verifiable history. Any professional knowledge mentioned is made up and should not be trusted. This is a fluffy, brainless romance focused entirely on the couple, with only a little plot, all of it serving the romance. If you want a story with a deep plot, this isn't for you. (Please reread this warning before clicking, okay? [I beg you on my knees.]) ★ No breaking up or reversing the pairing. No reverse-pairing fantasies, either. I also won't accept comments treating either character as a mere avatar. Please don't personally attack the protagonists. There are countless novels on Jinjiang; if you don't like this one, find another. There's always something to suit your taste. ★ Most likely a sweet, medium-length or short novel (?). Fantasy danmei: He and the Evil Spirit Yun You is the youngest child of a prominent family. Sent to live with his maternal grandmother in the countryside as a child, he grows up quiet and reserved. At eighteen, he makes a wish and summons an evil spirit: a figure with blood-red eyes and a hideous, terrifying mask. The evil spirit says, “I'm here to help you.” Just then, his family comes to take him home. The evil spirit follows at his side, telling him who is evil, who is good, and who is hiding a dagger behind a smile. Each time, Yun You turns around to see the corner of the evil spirit's lips curl beneath his shattered mask, seemingly holding endless coldness. Yun You has no secrets from the evil spirit. It knows and accepts everything about him, and always makes all the arrangements for him. They are inseparable. When a suitor confesses his love to Yun You, the evil spirit rests its chin on Yun You's shoulder, toys with his hair, and fixes the suitor with eyes so red they seem ready to drip blood. Then... it scares the suitor into fleeing. It looks at Yun You innocently. “Anyone who would abandon you in danger isn't worth trusting with your heart.” The evil spirit burns the letters from Yun You's friends in front of him. Its cold hand strokes the back of the young man's neck, whispering like a lover, “Since when have you had so-called friends behind my back?” The moment Yun You tumbles from the attic, the evil spirit scoops up the unconscious boy. As the person upstairs watches in terror, the corner of its mouth curls beneath its shattered mask, tender to the extreme. It says, “Bang, someone died. I wonder who?” Yun You has always felt that the evil spirit isn't much like an evil spirit. It's too good to him, and he can hardly bear all this kindness. But he has grown dependent on it. Until the evil spirit pins him against the wall, its cool breath brushing Yun You's ear. Smiling, it caresses Yun You's face. “You don't need anyone else. I'll love you.” The evil spirit wasn't always an evil spirit. It had a name, too: Yun You. Rejected by his family and betrayed by the friends he thought he had, he died a terrible death. After taking revenge, he crawled out of hell and returned to the past. Young Yun You sits among the flowers, butterflies kissing his fingertips. This is him as a boy, and yet not him as a boy. He is an evil spirit returned from hell, while Yun You only needs to stay just as he is now. Everything will change. Yun You will have the very best of everything, except for being loved and pursued by this evil spirit. After all, making a deal with an evil spirit always comes at a price. Masked, gloomy ghost seme × cool, gentle, long-haired bottom who's slow to understand love Reader's guide: ★ Ghost seme, human bottom; an older-self/younger-self pairing with an age gap. ★ The seme has scars on his face and never shows it. After much thought, I decided it's best if he keeps his face covered! ★ Their ages and experiences differ, so the seme is a little taller and sturdier than the bottom, and their faces aren't exactly alike. ★ The seme and bottom are not the same person in the same timeline or worldline. ★ Selfcest, but no breaking up or reversing the pairing! No reversed CP! Theme: Falling for someone based on their looks is a bad idea
