Mad King

[False Gentle, Humble, and Noble Mad King / World-Weary, Wealthy Heiress]

-

Many people say that Gillian's path to becoming a world-class director was paved with gold bricks by her family. Many others say she won the international Golden Man award three years in a row because of that person. And some say her success was all thanks to the little actor who was destined for her.

-

Everyone knows that Gillian made that obscure little actor a star. She chose scripts and roles tailored just for him, assembled the world's finest film crew for him, and rolled out the red carpet to the world of cinema for him.

Gillian spoils that little actor without a shred of principle, with carefree abandon.

-

In the sitting room of the apartment, a dignified figure sat on a sturdy oak sofa. He lifted his eyes to look at Gillian, at the daylight outlining her silhouette, and at the handsome little actor clinging to her side.

-

Within the faint outline, she exhaled a wanton ring of smoke through her vivid lips. Slumped against a dust-covered cushion, she said, "Pick whichever role you want. Just leave me alone."

-

Liu Huo was gentle and beautiful. He rose and drew open the heavy blackout curtains, looking at the little actor whose face so closely resembled his own. They even had the same tiny black mole at the corner of their lips.

He bent down, bringing his face close to her breath, and greeted her with a terrifying smile. "Wouldn't it be better if you kept your eyes on me?"

-

A few years ago, a girl from Fusi City, a rough woolen bag slung over her shoulder and bright white thigh-high socks on her legs, crossed two countries and seven cities to reach the estate on Liu Huo Island. She waited there for half a year.

All for that one role. She wanted only him.

-

Back then, she stood in the afternoon's halo of light, leaning against an old, battered bicycle. Her eyes shone, and her bright face was tense and apprehensive, like a little Hollywood con artist in disguise.

She said to him, "Teacher Liu, come act in my film."

-

Now, in the apartment's sitting room, he smiled silently, his eyes consuming the cold brilliance in the corners of hers as he desperately reined in the corruption, stickiness, and distortion welling up deep in his muscles.

She was a gem embedded deep within his soft body, a golden-winged butterfly caught in a hunter's net.

As always, his gentle disguise concealed the dreadful claws and scales growing beneath his flesh.

-

As tenderly as ever, he smiled at her. The cane in his hand suddenly pierced the parasite's chest.

He held out his hand and gently stroked her taut neck. "The estate gates are open. They're all waiting for you."

[Warnings:]

1. The male lead is extremely controlling and disturbingly insane, but his disguise is flawless.

2. The female lead is not lovesick at all. She is highly goal-oriented, a wealthy beauty, and starts out as a scumbag.

3. They are each other's only one. The sweetness level is unpredictable. Male-lead fans, beware.

4. Eight-year age gap, size difference, and skin-tone difference.

5. The characters are fictional. Please don't associate them with real people.
