Buried Beneath the Mud

Character types: An innocent, kindhearted, sunny earl's son VS a handsome, gentle-looking tutor who is gloomy and unhinged inside

Synopsis:

A rose blooming in rotten mud sees the filth on its leaves, bows its head and weeps, and ultimately dies in the embrace of the mire.

Love is not wrong, but the sin is plain for all to see.

P.S. A 100,000-character short story about revenge among Western European nobles, with a bad ending.

Theme: May everyone have a happy ending.
