The Cannon-Fodder Fiancée of a Possessive Tycoon

Blurb:

Ji Chen opened his eyes to find himself a cannon-fodder character in a wealthy-family novel, about to be sent off to marry into the Li family.

Li Xiuren, the head of the Li family, is rumored to be even-tempered and easygoing.

But everyone knows that beneath his seemingly mild exterior lies a heart that is obsessive, cold, and ruthless.

According to the plot, after they marry, Ji Chen immediately starts on the three classic paths to self-destruction: stealing the Li family's business secrets, insulting and mocking Li Xiuren for his disability, and even cheating on him in order to get a divorce. In the end, he completely enrages Li Xiuren, gets thrown out, and dies miserably by the roadside.

Ji Chen: "..."

Isn't it better to stay alive?

The elders of the clan arranged a marriage for Li Xiuren. His prospective spouse had a terrible reputation and no value whatsoever.

After hearing about it, Li Xiuren accepted with a smile.

After the wedding, he discovered that his husband was not quite like the rumors.

With a new metal cane in hand, Li Xiuren stood leaning on it and looked at Ji Chen calmly. "I have a bad leg. Please excuse it."

Ji Chen: "Definitely. It's hard not to smile when you see such a tall, handsome, and elegant husband!"

When some annoying relatives pulled rank and accused Li Xiuren of being too ruthless and disrespectful to his elders, he turned to Ji Chen to sound him out. "What do you think?"

Ji Chen: "I think the dead deserve respect. How about we let them die first?"

The elders: "..."

At a banquet, Ji Chen acts intimately with a tall, handsome rich young man.

In a dim room, the lion-headed handle of a cane slowly slides across Ji Chen's cheek, tilting his chin up.

Li Xiuren smiles. "I have a deserted island in the south. If I send A-Chen there, no one should be able to find him..."

Ji Chen: "Wonderful! I've been thinking about taking a trip. Thanks for arranging it, hubby. Mwah!"

-

At first, Ji Chen only wants to survive, so he acts recklessly and without a care. Li Xiuren is so dangerous that surely he would never fall for someone as obviously ill-intentioned as Ji Chen.

In the end, Ji Chen wakes up in bed, with a chest as broad as a mountain behind him and a strong arm locked around his waist, possessively keeping anyone else from coveting him.

He's utterly confused. How did things get to this point?

Smooth-talking, protective, and survival-minded bottom x obsessive, disabled top

Thanks to the kind forum user for gifting the cover character design. The design is not exclusive.

1. The top has some trouble with his leg. It's not too serious, but it won't get better.

2. This is not a healing story. The top is genuinely ruthless. At first, he sees the bottom as either "useful" or "useless."

Theme: Life is full of color.
