To cure the Gu poison, Cheng Lingxue disguises herself as a man and becomes the personal guard of a frail young nobleman.
The young master is distant and barely speaks to her at first. Later, he occasionally teases her. At some point, the way he looks at her begins to change. He seems thoughtful, as if confused and conflicted.
Cheng Lingxue assumes he envies her freedom because his frail health has left him confined to a wheelchair. Feeling sorry for him, she treats him with even greater sincerity. At last, under her meticulous protection...
The young master seems even more miserable!
He starts keeping his distance from her!
She redoubles her efforts, but the young master suddenly says he has accepted it.
One time, Cheng Lingxue changes back into women's clothes to investigate something, and he catches her. To make matters worse, she is struck by a strange poison. Fortunately, the young master has the antidote. Knowing that he hates being deceived, Cheng Lingxue claims the female assassin is her cousin and asks him for medicine on her cousin's behalf.
The young master lowers his lashes and says nothing for a long while. Then the corner of his mouth lifts slightly. "Have your cousin come over tonight."
-
After pretending to be her "cousin" for several days, Cheng Lingxue still doesn't think the young master has realized she's a woman. Afraid of what he'll do when he learns how many times she's deceived him, she flees in the middle of the night as soon as the Gu poison is cured.
When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself surrounded by mirrors, in a bizarre and disorienting place. Her night clothes have been replaced with a red dress. Behind her, the young master, with a face like Guanyin's, carefully ties the sash around her waist. His smile is impossible to read. "From the very first night, I wanted to put you in this red dress."
Cheng Lingxue's eyes widen. "?!"
He bends down to silence her and fastens a delicate chain around her wrist. "You little liar, you're not getting away."

Female lead: She has a cool, aloof aura, but is full of inner monologue; a pretty-face enthusiast, socially anxious, adorably clueless, and emotionally like a hedgehog. Male lead: Sweet on the outside, dark underneath, then dark in a different way; he seems quiet, but there's definitely something wrong with him.
Also known as: "Why Hasn't the Young Master Been Assassinated Yet?", "The Young Master Seems to Be Struggling Again", "After Her Disguise Is Exposed, the Cross-Dressing Heroine Is Captured by the Sickly Young Master"
★ She is 17, having come of age; he is 19. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending.
★ No BL content. The male lead falls for the heroine's feminine qualities and soul, which shine through even when she's dressed as a man. He isn't attracted to her male disguise. "I've accepted it" is just him convincing himself, not a genuine change in orientation. The synopsis is based on his suspicion that the "cousin" is the heroine in disguise, and he is setting a trap.
★ The heroine is an innocent, lusty type; the male lead is obsessive and unwell. After discovering that she's repeatedly deceived him, he takes her by force (his behavior is driven by his personality and psychological changes; it's dark, so please proceed with caution). His frailty is Schrodinger's: he won't be weak when it matters. His poor health is due to poisoning, and he will recover completely later.
★ An imaginary setting; all place names and customs are made up. The story focuses on everyday romance, and the plot doesn't hold up to close scrutiny. 70% of the story is behind a paywall; thanks for understanding. This is the final version of the synopsis, dated 2024/02/22, and has been screenshotted.
★ The authorized version is available only on Jinjiang Literature City. The story has been revised; pirated versions are the oldest edition, and neither the author nor Jinjiang is responsible for them.

Theme: Control can only keep someone captive; trust must be earned with sincerity
How could the author not write about yandere! The writing is obviously super good, and the emotional descriptions are also very delicate. In the past, the male protagonist of the sick and charming novels was always programmed to start going crazy whenever the female protagonist did something. But Ji Yueheng is more realistic. As written in the article, he will think of their relationship after having dark thoughts and then convince himself to understand it in a way that ordinary people understand. These are things I have never seen before. In other words, this is really a sweet ancient novel, which brings together my xp
Overall, the plot is average. It is a type of story where the plot is all about falling in love. It is considered a pretty good novel. The heroine is not a silk flower, but sometimes the description is a bit too delicate and too young, and the metaphor of "raccoon slave" is used too often, so that the heroine can be lonely and naive at times, and the character is a bit fragmented. I can probably understand that the author wants to create a contrast between the heroine's fear of strangers on the outside and her softness on the inside. Maybe it's just that I personally don't like descriptions that are too delicate and younger. In addition, the changes in the characters' thoughts in some places in the early stage were a bit abrupt, but in the later stage, it was a little smoother. I have to say that the author's driving skills are top-notch, which is particularly impressive. But it feels like all the interactions between the young couple in the back are just for the car, and some daily interactions and exchanges are missing, and some soul collisions are missing.
Good looking! ! ! Congratulations on the completion! ! ! See you in the next book~[][][]
No, I can't hold it in any longer, I'm going to eat and eat [rice], it's going to kill me woo woo woo (although in reality, if you encounter a yandere, you will call the police...) [Purple Sugar] kswl
I am very satisfied with the author's driving skills and look forward to the next book (*??`)~?
Waiting for the next one (? ??_??)? Come on (preferably the one about the princess ( ﹡? O?﹡ ))
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why haven't you unlocked it yet? Urgent, urgent, urgent.
Juejuezi, this is the first time I've seen this way of describing six love, it's so awesome haha, I love it so much [bad laugh] [bad laugh]
Looks good, yandere is super sexy
It's beautiful. I feel like I still have more to say. I even want to see what happens after they have children. It's really beautiful [Star Eyes]
