Yu Qiuci transmigrated into a historical otome game.
In the game, the heroine gained influence by winning over different men, eventually becoming empress and enjoying the company of all her husbands.
But Qiuci had only just graduated high school. She was a well-behaved student who had no desire to become empress. She just wanted to finish her mission and get home as soon as possible.
Her first target was her older male cousin, who couldn't walk.
Though disabled, he was easygoing, gentle, and refined. Every time she saw his empty trouser legs, she felt like a criminal.
But this was just a game, and her cousin was just a character on a screen. She had only one reason for getting close to him: to raise his affection level, then use him to meet his friend, the monk Mingjing. Mingjing could introduce her to her next target.
Among the artificial rocks at the temple, she copied the same tactics she'd used on her cousin:
She pretended to stumble, fell into Mingjing's arms, then ran away with a shy look on her face.
But she didn't know that Lu Huaicheng, sitting on top of the rocks, had seen everything...
-
Lu Huaicheng was the eldest legitimate son of the Earl of Luyang's household. He had stood out from childhood, blessed with exceptional talent and beauty. Everyone in Luzhou City liked him.
At seventeen, he lost both his legs in a horse race, and lost everything else along with them.
He was no longer the young Master Lu everyone adored. He was just a cripple who couldn't even get out of bed.
After his devastating injury, he remained the same gentle and modest Lu Huaicheng, and yet he was no longer that Lu Huaicheng. He was merely surviving, waiting for release.
Then he met his younger cousin, who was staying at the estate. She was so warm, and yet so inexperienced. Every little gesture she carefully planned seemed clumsy.
She said she liked him, but she was young and didn't know better. He had to know better.
Such a tender little flower bud, just about to bloom. He wanted to pluck it, but he couldn't. He wasn't worthy.
Until one day, he heard her talking to something:
"Lu Huaicheng is so hard to win over. Do you know how much effort it took to make him like me?"
"I hope Mingjing isn't as hard to win over."
So she was a little flower bud with thorns.
He would break her.
1v1, scheming romance
Gentle, restrained, disabled male lead x an inexperienced, warmhearted young woman
Note: Age gap. The heroine is 17 and the hero is 28. (The hero's legs are permanently disabled.)
Lu Huaicheng (cheng)
[Upcoming story blurb]
Six months after transferring schools, Lin Dang was targeted by the class delinquent.
The delinquent was her classmate, Cheng Yan, who pretended to be her older cousin and asked to borrow money.
She had low vision, not an intellectual disability. She could tell who he was.
But she was afraid that if she exposed him, he'd bully her, so she could only give him the money.
She never expected to get the money back. She just wanted to keep the peace.
But to her surprise, Cheng Yan returned the money in five- and ten-yuan installments.
On the day he paid it all back, Lin Dang couldn't help speaking to him:
"Cheng Yan, I recognized you. You smell faintly of lemon.
Are you having some kind of trouble? I can help you, so please stop lying to people."
-
Cheng Yan thought Lin Dang wasn't visually impaired. She was just a fucking idiot.
That lemon scent? It came from the huge bag of no-name laundry detergent he'd bought for ten yuan.
What trouble? He'd just run out of money for the internet cafe.
And the idea that studying hard could change his fate? It wasn't that he couldn't get into a top university. But no matter how hard he studied, he still wouldn't be good enough for a pampered heiress like her.
He couldn't stand her pestering him anymore, so he rejected her harshly:
"Yeah, it's because of your eyesight. It'll even be hard for you to find a job in the future."
She cried, and he regretted it.
He'd never thought she was a burden. He only hated that he wasn't capable of taking care of her.
-
A little scene:
Cheng Yan had another fight with Lin Dang. He left her by the road and walked away without looking back. He walked fast and had no intention of turning around.
There were people everywhere. The noise frightened Lin Dang into tears, and she kept calling for him: "Cheng Yan, where are you? I can't feel you anymore."
He hadn't gone far. He was less than ten steps away.
The next day, he spent a whopping fifteen yuan on a pink bell and hung it on his tattered schoolbag.
It jingled and clanged. You could hear him coming from ten steps away, or even a hundred.

Brother, you are too cruel if you don't let the male and female protagonists be sweeter even after the extra episode.
What kind of person is the male protagonist: The heroine mainly goes to play with the male protagonist, but the male protagonist says that people are afraid of people and no one will really understand you. The heroine mainly drives away naughty children, but the male protagonist says that there is no use in driving them away. He is a man full of disappointment in human nature. His mother wanted to force people into his yard, but he would have given in if Qiu Ci wasn't there. He is a person who has an indifferent attitude towards life. He doesn't care about other people's opinions, doesn't care about his mother, doesn't care about all the abuse and humiliation, not because of his noble character, but because he is disappointed. Since he doesn't care about his life, why do he care about all this? He looks so gentle and calm every day, but is he really gentle and calm? Hongyan said that when he first broke his leg, he couldn't sleep every day. A 17-year-old boy lost his legs. He did not go crazy or cry. All the pain was suppressed. This was destined to become a time bomb. And he himself knows it, he says he is a pool of stagnant water. Is it because he doesn't dare to accept the heroine's love just because of his inferiority complex? He thinks Qiu Ci won't like him after seeing his legs, right? He is afraid, afraid that this kind of love is only superficial. Behind this extreme fear is an extreme desire: he wants deep, comprehensive love. He would rather the heroine never loved him, and he could convince himself that this was the case with human nature. But he felt the love of the heroine, and he couldn't find an excuse to convince himself to suppress the time bomb that was about to explode in his heart. He thinks it's because of his legs. It turns out that the crux of all problems is the one he has been unwilling to face. His explosion was not only an explosion at the age of 29, but also an explosion at the age of 17 that was many years late. He has never come out of that pain, and he has never been able to face himself calmly after the age of 17. He could no longer hide all his pain in the calm surface. He just resented the world, everyone, and himself. So this time, he would rather set himself on fire.
It's actually good that the child is gone. Huaizheng can build a sense of security without the child! Having this child has greatly affected the heroine
"Finally, the twenty-eight-year-old Lu Huaicheng dared to admit that he likes Yu Qiuci." I want to cry because of the beauty... Wuwu Lu Huaicheng finally has his own destination.
It has been completed, but because it is on the list, the completion tag cannot be changed. In fact, the extras can be considered the main text, and the extras are the real extras, which are relatively scattered. After I finished writing the extra chapter, I felt that there were still a lot of regrets that I had not filled in, so I wrote the extra chapter of the extra chapter, and then the regrets disappeared and there were a lot more weird things emmmmm...
I have tried it n times, and every time I try it I will have a different experience. The images of Lu and Yu are both very well portrayed and very full. Before he was seventeen years old, Lu was the proud son of God, but God made him disabled as a young man in his prime. He might cry quietly for countless nights, or he might lower his eyes when his mother looked at him with disappointment. It took him eleven years to forgive his disability, but the scars cannot be forgotten. When he knew that Yu had impure motives for approaching him, he recalled his eleven years, the eleven years when no one loved or asked about him. He finally came close to happiness, but God cruelly took his wife away again. How could he be willing to do so? Heaven has never given him anything, but now he wants to take away his cousin! Just burn yourself before Yu no longer belongs to him. At least in his memory, the woman he loves is still his. Yu's portrayal is even more full. A nineteen-year-old girl traveled into an otome game and was forced to follow the plot but fell in love with an NPC. It wasn't that she didn't love Lu, but she still had family, friends, and a life. She couldn't stay with Lu all her life. But she didn't run away when Lu exposed his stumps. In the extra story, she taught Lu how to interact with her on an equal footing. She turned Lu from a walking corpse into a living person. It really hurt when I read it, obviously both of them were right... I haven't read a romance novel in a long time, but this one will always be my top one!
I really feel like the male protagonist is so miserable. I feel so insecure if I assume the role.
It's a simple summary, good-looking, and the characters have distinct personalities and stand up. If you put it into perspective, you feel that everything the male and female protagonists do is in line with the characters. Compared to expressing a certain quality for the sake of expressing a certain quality. This article presents the character's personality more logically. I liked it very much, but after reading it, my heart felt heavy because the male protagonist was imprisoned and depressed, both in ancient and modern times, and felt uncomfortable.
I never thought I could see such a realistic scene in a novel
I really like reading the psychological description of the male protagonist.
