After the Madam Was Taken by Her Bodyguard

★Next up: *Is Cute Not Enough?*, a silly, sweet little story. Scroll down to see the blurb~ (A gentle request to add it to your collection)★ [Blurb] An intensely possessive, secretly powerful bodyguard gong X a gentle yet venomous, strong-but-tragic shou Meng Xuchu is the youngest son in his family and has never received an ounce of his parents’ affection. Even though he outshines his older siblings, when the family’s survival is at stake, he is still the one they abandon. They send him to marry into the illustrious Mu family, hoping he will bring good luck to their gravely ill eldest son. Miracles don’t happen. The Mu family’s eldest son dies all the same. Years of repression have shattered his spirit and worn down his body. In the bathroom, Meng Xuchu silently wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth, endures the violent spasms of pain in his stomach, puts on his usual icy expression, and calmly takes charge of the funeral. Then he collapses in full view of everyone. Just before he loses consciousness, a pair of warm, strong arms catches him securely. The gloomy funeral erupts in an uproar. · Meng Xuchu has a personal bodyguard whose origins and past are unknown. He stands silently behind him, his dark gaze always resting on the snow-white nape beneath Meng Xuchu’s collar. Meng Xuchu knows this man is the Mu family’s eldest son’s eyes, assigned to keep him under surveillance. Even when he falls into the bodyguard’s arms, he forces himself to stay alert. But his bodyguard steals him away from the funeral. In front of everyone. Through the haze, the familiar, heated voice of the young bodyguard slips into his ear, threaded with pained sobs: “Why won’t you ever ask me for help, Madam?” · Later, everyone who looked down on him or ignored him is left with nothing but the mud beneath their feet as they gaze up at him in the clouds. [Read before you start] 1. The shou has no affection for his late husband’s older brother, and nothing ever happened between them. When the marriage took place, the late husband’s older brother was already bedridden and unable to get up. 2. Before the late husband dies, the shou has no romantic feelings for anyone, though other people have feelings for him. It’s only natural that a great beauty is coveted, loved, and resented, right? ^O^ After the late husband dies, the shou gradually falls for the gong. The gong has always had feelings for the shou (saying more would spoil things). One-on-one, both are inexperienced in body and heart. 3. The gong is two years younger. Both gong and shou are ruthless. The gong comes from a very powerful background. The shou is a powerful figure with real authority, so aside from his poor health and many injuries, they’re evenly matched. 4. The era, setting, and main locations are all fictional. This is an old-school, melodramatic story about a wealthy family. The characters’ values do not represent mine. 5. This is an indulgent, anything-goes story. If necessary, I may abandon logic to entertain myself. . ★Here’s the blurb for my upcoming story~★ The cutest little cutie shou X the most reserved, secretly seductive gong Qiu Tian comes from the Cute Planet. One day, he inexplicably drops onto Earth. He’s walking down the street when he gets hungry and wants a fried starch sausage, but the vendor asks him to pay. He gives the vendor a cute wink. Vendor: “...The payment QR code is over there.” Qiu Tian has never heard of a payment QR code. On the Cute Planet, cuteness is the highest law and the accepted currency. Qiu Tian is the cutest person on his planet, with absolute immunity. In other words, he can do whatever he wants. He tilts his head in confusion. “Isn’t being cute enough?” Then he gets sent to the hospital. (He didn’t even get his grilled sausage!) · The doctor sits behind his computer, typing away, and asks him to describe his symptoms. Qiu Tian tells him everything, from start to finish (with a few embellishments). He asks the doctor pitifully, “Do I need a payment QR code to see a doctor, too?” The doctor looks up. He’s very handsome, but not gentle at all. “You do.” “Can’t I pay with cuteness?” “No.” Qiu Tian gets a little mad, cups his face, and unleashes his ultimate weapon. “Is all this still not enough?” “…” The doctor covers his nearly bleeding nose, swiftly orders a brain CT, and calls in a psychiatric consultation. No one believes Qiu Tian comes from the Cute Planet. Until he gets hurt in an accident, and his azure-blue blood scatters in the wind. In the handsome doctor’s eyes, he sees the soul-deep shock of a human encountering an extraterrestrial. In the end, to keep Qiu Tian from being taken away for experiments, the handsome doctor brings him home and forbids him from radiating cuteness in front of other people. Qiu Tian: “But then I won’t have food to eat or clothes to wear.” “...” The kind and wealthy Doctor Zhou patiently repeats, “Being cute alone doesn’t work on Earth!” as he clears out an entire shopping mall, including the grilled-sausage stall outside. “Is that enough?” Qiu Tian stares blankly, then nods like a pecking chick. Who says cuteness isn’t enough? . Theme: Stand firm in what you want.
