The Villain's Sickly Beauty Starts Practicing Self-Care

Ye Rongxu was delicate and beautiful, but sickly from birth. His entire family doted on him as if he were a fragile porcelain doll. After an accident, he became self-aware and realized he was the beautiful villain in a revenge novel. Though gorgeous, he was sickly and disabled, confined to a wheelchair for long periods. His personality was gloomy and vicious, and after offending the male lead early on, he would suffer the male lead's revenge later. The male lead, Qin Chaoyan, was his fiance's younger brother. Cold and brooding, unloved by both his father and mother, he had just accidentally bumped into Ye Rongxu's wheelchair, causing him to fall into the water and end up in the hospital. Qin Chaoyan had been sent over so Ye Rongxu could take his anger out on him. At this point in the story, Ye Rongxu was supposed to make things difficult for the male lead at every turn, cruelly humiliate him, and even force him to kneel. Later, after Qin Chaoyan rose to success, he would forcibly marry Ye Rongxu, knowing that Ye Rongxu loved his fiance. He would torment him until the already sickly Ye Rongxu died of rage. After learning the plot, Ye Rongxu looked down at the wheelchair before him, his brows and eyes tinged with illness. Qin Chaoyan was all skin and bones, his back straight as bodyguards forced him to kneel on the ground. Ye Rongxu had his foot on Qin Chaoyan's chest as he humiliated him. By the usual plotline, he should hurry to curry favor with Qin Chaoyan to avoid that fate. But... Ye Rongxu coughed softly, his throat tasting of blood. He lowered his delicate eyes slightly. "What are you standing there for? Massage my feet." With that, he tossed the male lead a diagram of foot acupoints he'd just found online. Everything else could wait. He was dying soon, so it was time to start taking care of his health. * After Qin Chaoyan seized complete power, he forcibly married Ye Rongxu, who had once humiliated him time and again. Everyone thought he was taking revenge. The sickly young master Ye would probably be tormented to death in less than a year. Ye Rongxu thought so too. Cradling his thermos, he yawned and reminded him, "I have to go to bed at ten. That's in half an hour, so hurry up." Qin Chaoyan loosened his tie, his gaze dark. "Half an hour probably won't be enough." Ye Rongxu: ? Wasn't he supposed to torment me for revenge? Later on... Qin Chaoyan: "Rongrong, can I get into bed with you tonight?" Ye Rongxu clutched his lower back. "No. I need to take care of my health." * Qin Chaoyan was born under a cloud and grew up enduring people's disdain. Only later did he learn that he had been switched at birth, and that the elder brother who had taken his place, Qin Jingxu, was the illegitimate child. He hated everything connected to the Qin family, including Qin Jingxu's fiance, Ye Rongxu. Ye Rongxu had been spoiled into an arrogant, naive young man, and looked at Qin Chaoyan with scorn... But later, Qin Chaoyan took Ye Rongxu from Qin Jingxu, kissed his weary face, worn down by illness, and begged him to stay healthy and live a long life. "Rongrong, I should have been the one you were engaged to. You were mine all along." His expression was possessive and crazed. 1. Brooding top x sickly young master bottom 2.

Please add it to your collection!] Chi Songyu came from an ordinary background and an average family. Apart from being exceptionally handsome, there was nothing special about him. Yet somehow, he was friends with Xie Lin, whose family was worth hundreds of billions. Xie Lin came from Jiangcheng's most prestigious family. Proud and aloof, he was refined and distant, treating everyone with a cool reserve. He was extremely difficult to approach. Jiangcheng's upper-class society all said Chi Songyu was just lucky. He had gone to the same high school as Xie Lin and shared a dorm with him in college. It was only thanks to his pretty face and being in the right place at the right time that he had gotten close to Xie Lin. They called themselves business partners, but surely Chi Songyu had used his good looks to seduce Xie Lin. Chi Songyu heard the rumors and gave a faint, noncommittal smile. They weren't entirely wrong. He had deliberately become friends with Xie Lin in college. Then, when Xie Lin started a business, Chi Songyu had joined at just the right moment and become his partner. After all, being friends with someone like Xie Lin meant saving ten years of hard work. Who wouldn't want a shortcut? But saying Xie Lin had been seduced by him was far too generous. Xie Lin was indifferent and cold, neither warm nor cold toward anyone. The only thing that could captivate him was work. Chi Songyu had even wondered at one point whether Xie Lin had any worldly desires or needs at all. Until one night at a cocktail party, a chaotic, absurd accident left Chi Songyu crying himself hoarse without even getting a chance to rest. The next day, he saw the face beside him: a face he knew all too well, usually cool and composed, now marked by several suspicious red traces. It belonged to his boss, business partner, and buddy, Xie Lin... Chi Songyu froze. Chi Songyu's expression shattered! * Xie Lin was naturally indifferent. Apart from work, nothing and no one could claim even a fraction of his attention. Until an accident left him spending one chaotic night with his friend. The usually calm and self-controlled Xie Lin completely lost control, and once he'd had a taste, he couldn't get enough. Afterward, Chi Songyu tried to avoid him, dodging him at every turn. That lasted until Xie Lin pinned him against the broad, cold desk in the CEO's office, leaving him nowhere to run... Chi Songyu had a headache, and his back was starting to ache too. "I really don't want to be my buddy's wife!" * The rich second-generation crowd in Jiangcheng had long been betting that Xie Lin and Chi Songyu "had a thing going on." After years of wagers, they discovered the two really were just business partners and buddies. At a gathering, someone remarked to Chi Songyu, "I always thought you and Xie Lin were a couple. I can't believe it was just a misunderstanding." Then he turned and saw Chi Songyu's handsome, fair profile beneath the hazy lights, his cheeks flushed with drink. His heart stirred, and he added, "Songyu, I heard you haven't had a partner in a while. How about considering..." Before he could finish, Xie Lin swept in, his whole presence icy. The private room fell silent at once. "Xie Lin?" someone asked in surprise. "Didn't you say you weren't coming?" Xie Lin looked at the already-drunk Chi Songyu, his cool expression softening slightly. He bent down and scooped him up, sweeping his gaze over everyone in the room and the man who had just been about to confess. He said calmly, "I'm here to pick up your sister-in-law." Everyone: ...!!? . Theme: Love life, love living.
