The Disabled Beauty and the Wild Dog He Took In

Coming Soon: Transmigrating Back to Ancient Times to Become a Litigator. Transmigration + ancient-era lawyer story + secret identities + a touch of mystery-solving. See the blurb below. Please add it to your collection~ A ruthless, even more ruthless to himself, scheming beauty of a powerful minister who is the bottom x a loyal puppy who gets everything in the end, a wolf pup from a foreign tribe who is the top. Strong x strong, younger top, beauty tames the dog. The top may be devoted, but he is no pushover. Angsty, clichéd melodrama, very clichéd melodrama. Whenever the officials of the capital spoke of Xie Yunzhou, the powerful Left Chancellor who held sway over the court, they would all say in unison, "A viperous beauty." He was indeed ruthless, and truly beautiful, but unfortunately, he had damaged tendons in his legs when he was young and was crippled. In the autumn of Yongcheng Year Eight, Xie Yunzhou traveled beyond the frontier and was ambushed by Beili cavalry. Amid the chaos, the slaves they had captured took the opportunity to rebel. Their leader was a fourteen-year-old boy, covered in wounds, with a pair of blue eyes fixed on his prey like a savage wild dog. Xie Yunzhou was drawn to the boy's ferocity. It was so much like his own that he couldn't help smiling from his wheelchair. He lifted the boy's chin. "It seems fate has brought us together. From now on, be my blade." The boy was taken in by Xie Yunzhou and given the name Xue Ren. From then on, he became Xie Yunzhou's sharpest blade in the capital, snapping at everyone and showing no regard for even his own family, yet recognizing only Xie Yunzhou. As soon as Xie Yunzhou beckoned, Xue Ren would obediently sheathe his sword, kneel before him on one knee, and gaze quietly up at Xie Yunzhou's exquisite face. Everyone understood: this untamed wild dog was a docile house dog only in front of Xie Yunzhou. * Xie Yunzhou lived only for revenge. He was already gravely ill, and would likely die young. All he wanted was to dismember his enemies before he died. Amid the treacherous currents of the capital, only the blade he had forged with his own hands could share the same starry sky with him in the still of night. But when he realized that this blade harbored feelings for him that crossed the line, he mercilessly extinguished those thoughts with his own hands, as ruthlessly as ever. He had thought his tamed house dog would obey him, never imagining that Xue Ren was still a vicious wild dog at heart. When Xie Yunzhou was framed and left without help, Xue Ren actually fled his side and vanished without a trace. A month later, Xie Yunzhou was forced to go on a diplomatic mission beyond the frontier, where he met this faithless servant once again. Dressed in splendid robes, Xue Ren held him captive in his wheelchair and looked down at him. His hot breath lingered by Xie Yunzhou's ear as he curled his lips into a smile and murmured, "My lord, you have nowhere to go and no other choice. Stay by my side, like a good boy." Xie Yunzhou seethed with hatred, but the situation forced him to bow his head and work with Xue Ren. He also had to endure the man's relentless advances, as Xue Ren demanded that he bare his heart, surrender, and... lose control of his feelings. P.S. 1. The top was merely down on his luck for a time when the bottom took him in. Naturally, his true identity is that of a big shot. He had many reasons for leaving the bottom's side, and never betrayed him. 2. The top is devoted to the bottom in a "you are the electricity, you are the light, you are the only legend" kind of way, but he is genuinely no pushover. Our wolf pup goes after what he wants. At heart, this is a story about a wolf pup winning over an aloof beauty: he runs, she chases, and he can't escape. 3. The bottom's legs will eventually be healed. Let's just call it a once-in-a-novel medical miracle. The bottom fell for the top early on; the blurb already explains why he initially refused to accept him. 4. The plot isn't clever. It's clichéd, with nothing but melodrama. The top and bottom's positions never change, and the bottom will return to the capital to continue being a big shot. 5. For the sake of advancing the plot, the early chapters have quite a few scenes from the top's point of view. Later, once the bottom's secrets are revealed, the story focuses mainly on his point of view. To avoid misunderstandings, I've changed the point-of-view tag from primarily bottom's perspective to unspecified. If that's not for you, please don't read. Please heed the warnings. The author isn't a top fan or a bottom fan, just someone who likes the bittersweet thrill of melodrama and enjoys writing what I like. If you enjoy it too, then we're besties. Friendly discussion is welcome, but please don't give unsolicited writing advice. If it's not for you, feel free to leave. There are plenty of great stories out there. A deep bow. Coming Soon: Transmigrating Back to Ancient Times to Become a Litigator Strong x strong. The bottom is a food-loving transmigrator who lives to make money and refuses to work 996. The top has two secret identities he switches between, but can't escape the law of "eventually falling for him." Lin Han, a young lawyer, dies suddenly from working overtime in the middle of the night and unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a poor, unsuccessful scholar from ancient times who shares his name. Faced with a bare house and no food in the pot, Lin Han decisively sells his Four Books and Five Classics, which he couldn't understand anyway, and returns to his old profession as a litigator. But everyone in this place, from the officials to the common people, has the word "poor" stamped on their foreheads. Even the princely residence there is so poor it rattles. The hard life of eyeing the fragrant pastries on the road without being able to eat them is just too much. As Lin Han, the food-loving one, frets about making ends meet, he discovers that a guard at the princely residence named Ye Pinglan is a one-in-a-million rich man. Lin Han's eyes light up. Every day, he dreams of clinging to the big shot's coattails. "Brother, need a lawyer? Ten percent off for one case, twenty percent off for two. A monthly package is an even better deal!" Ye Pinglan turns away coldly. "Are you sick?" * After failing to win a patron, Lin Han can only fight his way forward with his professional skills: competing with other litigators for clients, traveling to other places to take cases on contingency, and matching wits with the authorities. Two years later, he achieves his ultimate dream from his modern life: opening a law firm. He names it "One Lawsuit, A Thousand Worries Gone" and opens branches outside the province. He decides how long to work each day and never has to suffer under the 996 schedule again. Recently, Lin Han accidentally gets on the wrong side of Jin Ge, a local big shot who controls the underground trade in salt, iron, weapons, and provisions. He commands both the underworld and the legitimate world, has ruthless methods, and can make the whole city tremble with a single roar. Even the authorities don't dare provoke him. To stay alive, Lin Han knows when to bend. He treats Jin Ge with the utmost respect and never goes against the big shot's wishes. In court, he can debate the crowd into silence; in front of the big shot, he obediently plays the junior. Jin Ge: A friend of mine has run into some trouble. Help him with his case, and I'll pay. Lin Han: Your friend is my friend. No problem! Jin Ge: A friend of mine wants to join your law firm. I'll pay. Lin Han: Your friend is my friend. Let's all make money together! Jin Ge: A friend of mine is in his twenties and still doesn't have a wife. What do you think... Lin Han: Your friend is my... Wait, no! This is a law firm, not a matchmaking agency! * Later, Lin Han finally discovers the face behind Jin Ge's mask. Remembering how utterly spineless he'd been in front of the big shot, he wants to close his eyes and die on the spot. Putting on an affected air, Lin Han tells Ye Pinglan, with whom he has just started a relationship, "I heard that Jin Ge is a terrifying brute who makes chairs out of human skulls, likes to drain people of their blood slowly when he kills them, and even cuts out their hearts to eat. He's utterly deranged!" Ye Pinglan: "...Don't believe rumors or spread them." Lin Han lets out a cold laugh. "And how do you know they're just rumors?" Ye Pinglan: "..." (Tightens his grip on my little secret identity.) Lin Han: "Stop hiding it! I've already torn off your disguise!" "Perhaps this world truly is a long, dark night. No matter how many people strive for the light, even sacrificing themselves, they cannot keep the world bright forever. But I can make it so that wherever I walk, sunlight breaks through the clouds and the long night finally ends. That is the integrity of us legal professionals, spanning the past and present." Theme: Mutual understanding and tolerance, building a harmonious society.
