[Blurb for The Defective Shadow Guard Who Was Kept All to Himself]
Shadow guards are silent, ruthless, clever, and capable.
Ying San has nothing whatsoever to do with any of those eight characters.
He's a defective model who fails every test.
No one even wants him when he's offered for sale in a bundle.
Just as he's about to be destroyed, Lu Zhanqing arrives to buy a shadow guard.
Drawn by the smell, Ying San ignores the attempts to stop him, rushes over, and grabs hold of...
the bun in Lu Zhanqing's hand.
Ying San, who can't do anything right, asks the most fluent question of his life: "Can I have a bite?"
*
Lu Zhanqing, the young master of Qianqiao Pavilion, is renowned for his noble character and talent, having made a name for himself at a young age.
His harsh, merciless interrogation techniques are enough to make anyone in the martial world tremble.
But only he knows that beneath his calm, composed exterior, madness and gloom churn.
Lu Zhanqing looks at the defective model kneeling before him, despised by everyone.
How pitiful.
Even more pitiful than that filthy little dog by the roadside.
How beautiful.
Beautiful things should only bloom in my hands.
He looks at a row of shadow guards nearby, disciplined and unsmiling.
He's not interested.
He deliberately raises the bun in his hand, keeping it out of the other's reach. His smile is gentle, his gaze tender.
"Will you come with me?"

[Important Notice] [Reader Advisory]
1. In ancient times, shadow guards were dehumanized and enslaved. Their owners had absolute power over them, including the power of life and death. Likewise, the shou in this story is a shadow guard who has been thoroughly brainwashed and dehumanized. Please consider whether this story is for you with these points in mind. If you find them uncomfortable, please leave.
2. [Sweet and sour tone. Angst at the start, angst at the start, angst at the start! Once they understand each other's feelings, the spoiling begins.] The two protagonists' relationship doesn't go smoothly or happen overnight. As mentioned, if it isn't for you, please stop reading in time. It'll be better for both of us.
3. This is not a power fantasy or a mindless face-slapping story. There are lots of original setting details, and important content warnings will be posted at the ends of chapters. The author simply couldn't find anything to read and decided to write their own story. If it doesn't meet your expectations, please be kind and don't attack each other.
4. I've received too much criticism, so here's an explanation: The story is told mainly from the shou's perspective because I write more from his point of view, especially later, when he has his own growth arc. But at the beginning, he's only a shadow guard with no voice or authority, so the gong appears a little more often. If you can't accept that, please leave.
5. The author is a fifty-year-old, lives alone in a nursing home, has 2G internet, knows nothing about online fandom, and is a hopeless illiterate. I just write what I like. If you like it, read it. If you don't, close the page. There's no need for personal attacks.
Blurb for After My Archrival Became a Caged Bird
[Devoted practitioner of patriarchal, indulgent pampering x patient, resolute, teasing beauty]
Everyone knows that Gu Xuanlin and Xiao Lan are like an evil dog and a mad dog.
In court, they trade barbs, wishing they could devour each other whole.
But after the court session, the evil dog always manages to block the mad dog's carriage, acting as if they're closer than anyone.
Gu Xuanlin lifts the carriage curtain, brushes his fingertip over the inside of Xiao Lan's wrist, and asks with a low laugh, "Imperial Tutor, it's freezing out. Why not come warm yourself at my manor?"
Xiao Lan pulls the fingertips from his grasp and wipes them against Gu Xuanlin's waist, expressionless. "The wine at Your Highness's manor lasts all night. This official is in poor health, so I must decline."
It doesn't matter.
There's no point in gobbling up the meat that's already within reach all at once.
Gu Xuanlin's hunt proceeds one careful step at a time.
Then, at a filthy banquet one night, he discovers that his prey is covered in bruises.
Gu Xuanlin finally loses patience.
As all around them look on with ill intent, Gu Xuanlin leans forward and embraces him.
"The game is over, Xiao Lan."
"Come back to my cage."
"I've prepared your favorite sweet soup. If you don't like it, I can make something else."
Theme: Follow the light.
In fact, the writing is very good, so don't pay too much attention to what those people say. Although I thought it was a bit abusive at first, as I continued to pursue it, I realized that it wasn't Xiao Lu who really wanted to abuse San San, but that he didn't control his emotions at that time, and he couldn't let his adoptive father find out that he liked San San. He was afraid that his adoptive father would catch him, and he was even more afraid that San San would be hurt more seriously. Xiao Lu's life environment was really not good since he was a child. His parents were too partial to his younger brother since he was a child, and his adoptive father was such a hypocrite. It's great that he can grow up like this, and he also slowly made changes for San San later on. This is a really good change. Moreover, in the story, Xiao Lu is the master at the beginning and Sansan is just the shadow guard. Take the emperor and the slave in ancient times as an example. Will the emperor care about the life and death of the slave? Obviously not, so you don't need to care about their thoughts so much. They probably only read the free chapter, just rubbish, and then say it's not good-looking. Obviously many people rush to make conclusions without insisting on pursuing it, which is misleading. This kind of person is really annoying. In fact, I rarely follow a book all the time. I always wait for it to finish before reading it. But I really read and update this book every day. I like this book very much and think it is very well written. I also hope that the story of Ding You and Jing Ping can be written in the extra story, and I want to see them together (please put your hands together~). There is also a side story of Ji Lianque, a funny man, and the great beauty Ling Huan, and their happy life together after they reunited. The last one is the sweet couple episode between Xiao Lu and San San (just do your best, follow your arrangements, I just express my opinions) (I also hope that many people will read the article before expressing their opinions. They just say this and that before reading the article, and talk nonsense. I really don't understand the people who express their opinions randomly before reading the article)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I really want to give Dingyou and Jingping some medicine (you all know what the medicine is, raise your eyebrows jpq.) And then lock them in a room ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (rubbing hands jpq.)
Although birds can bathe themselves, there is no need to wash them manually (bird keepers are not allowed to bathe birds blindly, because they can easily die from stress)
Ahhhhhhhhh, sir, please don't drive me crazy, (crazy) (crazy hammering on the front door) (squeezing in hard to reach the computer) Wuwu, today's big knife, ahhhhh, I hope to do something in the end, even if the logic is dead, come to life for me, how can Huanhuan not be protected by Ji Lianque, he is so beautiful, he will be coveted if he can recruit people.
Woo hoo, Ji Lianque was the perfect casualty bearer in this game, battle damage.
I cried and came back to take a look... I will go to school tomorrow and I am not allowed to bring electronic devices. I don't know how often I will go back... It's a pity that I can't see the ending... Goodbye, teacher... I wish the little couple well.
So sweet, so sweet 😆 Goddess, I have read another book
I like this article so much 🥺 🥺 I have been looking for a long time before I found an article about a loyal dog who is the main support. It is really hard to find. Wuwu 😭 😭 I didn't expect it to give me a surprise. I like everyone in it. (Wuwu has to start looking for a new master, the loyal dog shouwen)
It scared me to death, and I almost had to sharpen my knife to the author 🌈🌈
Didn't Ying Erwu melt the blood of the four families, and the wound will heal automatically? Moreover, it is said that the four families need to actively donate blood to fuse. At first, I thought that the master Ying Erwu was loyal to was from the four families. So how did Ying Erwu succeed? And it was also mentioned that after the blood is melted, you still need to drink the blood of the four families regularly. Is this wrong?
