[Read with Caution]
This book is immature and rushed, but it was where I started, so I'm leaving it here.
I wrote it in 2018. Later, I wasn't happy with the ending, so I revised it over and over. This time, I made major changes to the first half. Partway through, I suddenly realized that instead of revising it again and again, I should look ahead, so I stopped. The second half remains as it was in the original draft.
As a result, there are inevitably some logical inconsistencies and mistakes with names and plot details. I really don't recommend reading it, especially the second half. I'm uploading it for archival purposes.
[Blurb]
In the years of Die Lan, a foolish emperor rules, wars rage across the land, and demons run rampant.
A forbidden child born of a human and a flower spirit loses his family over a baseless fortune-telling prophecy.
Taken in by the demon clan, he fights against the current, focused solely on revenge.
He seems like a refined young gentleman, gentle as jade, but in truth he carries a dark and sordid past.
Used and betrayed, fighting alone, beneath the mask lies a heart that is gentle and long-suffering.
