[Upcoming historical danmei: "What Should I Do If the Male Lead Admires Me Too Much?" Blurb at the end]
Ruthless, brooding gong x emotionally steady, gentle shou. One-on-one healing romance.
Fu Liao transmigrated into a book, an old-fashioned melodramatic tragedy full of angst.
In the novel, he and the protagonist shou grew up together. He had secretly loved him for years and became the scum gong's rival in love. In the end, the scum gong, consumed by jealousy, cut off all four of his limbs and threw him in front of the shou.
So, on his first day after transmigrating into the book, he...
expressed concern about the scum gong's reputation.
Fu Liao: I'll help clear your name. Remember to respect the protagonist shou's dignity.
Scum gong: ...
On his second day after transmigrating into the book, he expressed concern about the scum gong's health.
Fu Liao: You need to bandage your wounds. Remember to check on the protagonist shou's injuries.
Scum gong: ...
On his third day after transmigrating into the book, he expressed concern about the scum gong's grand ambitions.
Fu Liao: I know you want to be emperor, but you need to take it slow. Remember to support the protagonist shou.
Scum gong: ...What exactly are you trying to do?
Fu Liao: Teach you how to date.
I know you like the protagonist shou, but he can't stand the way you kill anyone who gets close to him.
He had feelings for you, but in the end, he still killed you with tears in his eyes. What a waste.
If you can understand what it's like to be cared for, you'll probably learn how to treat the protagonist shou with kindness.
Besides, if I teach you properly, I won't have to die, either.
Scum gong: ...I don't need you to teach me.
Fu Liao knew scum gongs were arrogant. No matter, he'd take it slowly.
On the fourth day after transmigrating into the book, he lit calming incense for the scum gong, who had stayed up all night.
Scum gong: Stop doing unnecessary things.
On the fifth day after transmigrating into the book, he asked after the scum gong's injuries.
Scum gong: Stop asking so many questions.
On the tenth day after transmigrating into the book, Fu Liao thought he was getting too carried away with teaching.
Scum gong: Why didn't you ask about my injuries? They'll be healed soon if you don't ask.
On the eleventh day after transmigrating into the book, Fu Liao felt he was interfering too much.
Scum gong: Why didn't you ask if I caught a chill in the rain? I deliberately left my umbrella behind today.
On the twentieth day after transmigrating into the book, Fu Liao realized the shou was prejudiced against the scum gong, so they talked all night.
Scum gong: ...Do you love him that much?
On the thirtieth day after transmigrating into the book, Fu Liao decided it was time to bow out.
But the scum gong draped a cloak over his shoulders.
Put a packet of candied fruit in his hand.
And placed a folding fan in his other hand.
Fu Liao was pleased.
He'd learned how to care for someone, giving thoughtful gifts and treats based on what they liked.
...Hmm?
Aren't these the dating tips he taught the scum gong?
Why was he using them on him?

Ruthless, crafty gong who is only tender toward the shou x naturally innocent, beautiful fool shou
Lian Jingrong has an odd quirk when reading novels.
He likes to imagine that he has an all-seeing perspective, and that in a moment of crisis, he can point the protagonist in the right direction like a mysterious sage. He sees through everything but says nothing outright, leaving the protagonist enlightened.
Because it makes him seem really impressive!
Just imagining the dashing protagonist admiring him makes him incredibly happy.
And now he has the chance to make that happen.
He has transmigrated into the novel he loves most.
Unfortunately, he transmigrated into a villain.
A spoiled young master from an aristocratic family who kicked the male lead when he was down and imprisoned him in his home during a crisis.
He's a disposable character with a poor head on his shoulders, easily outsmarted by the male lead and, quite naturally, beheaded in the end.
The original owner has already starved the protagonist for three days.
No matter. This is the perfect chance to act mysterious and unfathomable.
By dropping hints, he can make the male lead realize that he's actually protecting him, and eventually win him over with his own wisdom.
What a perfect plot!
*
While the male lead is recovering from illness.
Lian Jingrong points at the minister next door, whose household has just been confiscated: "I did that!"
Li Yuce calmly slips a secret letter into his robes. "Impressive."
Lian Jingrong pouts. "You still don't believe me. I'm really impressive!"
As expected of the male lead. So proud.
"No, I especially admire Young Master Lian."
As he speaks, Li Yuce kisses Lian Jingrong.
Lian Jingrong is caught off guard. "What does that mean?"
Li Yuce smiles. "It's a custom in my hometown. It means I admire you."
Lian Jingrong looks troubled.
Isn't admiration supposed to mean gazing at someone with starry eyes?
"I have no power right now, and I'm afraid I'll only drag Young Master Lian down. This is the only way I can show how I feel." Li Yuce lowers his eyes, looking utterly pitiful. "If Young Master Lian doesn't like it, I'll stop."
Lian Jingrong panics. "No, that's not it."
Li Yuce: "Really?"
Lian Jingrong can only nod, letting Li Yuce pull him into his arms and kiss him several times.
He touches his face.
Maybe being admired too much isn't such a good thing.
Reader's Notes:
1. Entirely fictional setting. The romance is 70%, with my style of political intrigue making up the other 30%. My style of gentle shou.
2. The gong hasn't loved anyone before the shou. The protagonist of the original book is focused entirely on his career.
3. The protagonists are not perfect characters. The views of any character do not represent the author's views.
4. The writing is very plain and not classical in style. Not suitable for readers who are particular about gong or shou. If you don't like it, just click away. Thank you.
Theme: Care about other people's inner worlds. Don't force your own idea of love onto someone else
Yay! I really like reading the story of Xiao Fu and Xiao Xi, and I look forward to it every day!
In this chapter, I found that the process of mutual liking is not clear enough, and the personal pronouns are a bit confusing. They can be revised.
I wish you a speedy recovery! Is this father sick? Does he really want to ask soldiers to kill the enemy and then his head will be his? 🐶
It is too sweet! Both of them are very cute!
Wow!!! So good, so good, so good 🤩
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahn
I have been chasing this book since I was a senior in high school, and I have not finished reading the extras until today - Wuwuwu, I have a lot to say in my heart, but I still choose to say to the author: the writing is simply great, and the emotions are also very delicate! Wuwuwuwu Ah Liao and Ah Jian complement each other, shining brighter than the stars ah ah ah ah ah ah ah (passed out)
It's a pity that the ending is a bit too hasty. It feels like I swallowed everything just for the ending, but I still look forward to the extra chapters.
Urge more, urge more, urge more, urge more [cat's claw][cat's claw]
So when is the next time?
