Lychee Eyes

Chi Yu is incapable of feeling emotions. His soul is a cold, damp, uninhabited wasteland, destined for the darkest abyss.

Everyone says he's a wolf in an elegant suit: sanctimonious, ambitious, obsessed with fame and profit, cold-hearted and mad. Even his blood runs cold.

He thinks so himself.

Until a pair of hands cautiously tug at his sleeve. "Could you take me with you?"

Her beautiful, lychee-like eyes look up at him. At last, the Tyndall effect reaches this empty wasteland, and flowers bloom where rot once reigned.

He kneels at her feet, begging for a happy ending to his life of despair. "Xiao Chiyin, be my bride. Please."

Chiyin is a swift flying beneath a storm, taking shelter beneath his eaves.

Only later does she learn that the one living beneath those eaves isn't a savior, but a desperate beast in a cage.

He tears himself apart as he comes for her, doing whatever it takes to keep her. His eyes are full of carefully concealed panic. "Xiao Chiyin, stay by my side. I'll lay the whole world at your feet."

Chiyin takes the initiative and hugs him, gently reassuring him. "Don't be afraid. I'm not leaving."

#You stir every joy and sorrow in me. You heal all my pain. Every bit of my love and devotion is yours.

There are no limits to how I love you.#

Reader's Guide:

1. Sweet romance, both leads are each other's first and only, one-on-one, happy ending. The leads are not related by blood and have no legal relationship.

2. "Lychee eyes" means eyes that are round and large like lychees. Also called doe eyes, they are pure, clear, innocent, and endearing, like a baby's eyes. Like a juicy lychee, they evoke a vibrant, youthful charm and a heart full of romance.

3. Half the depictions of mental illness in this story are based on online sources, and half on the author's personal experience. I only guarantee that they feel authentic, not that they match standard case studies, so please don't scrutinize them.

Content warning: The male lead is not a good person. All his tenderness is reserved for the female lead.

New contemporary romance coming soon: "Crazy Eyes". Please add it to your collection!

An old mansion, a world of fame and fortune.

Colorful glass reflects murals flecked with gold. Flowers are pinned to slick black branches, while bodies sway amid the hazy, decadent gloom.

She comes down the staircase, her features vividly alive, her skin icy pale. Satin clings to her skin, draping around her waist. Beneath her skirt, garters frame glimpses of full thighs marked with red.

Sensual yet pure, divided yet whole.

Like the honeyed wine in a mural, sealed for a hundred years with a small dose of poison.

One by one, the courtiers barely clinging to life amid the haze of alcohol fall.

One look from her, and I'm done for.

At last, she looks my way

But

I'm not the one she's hunting. It's my brother.
