The Tycoon's Darling Rose

Blurb: Shen Jiao is a useless man with paralyzed legs. He has a woman's name and long hair, and even his face is so beautiful that it's hard to tell whether he's male or female. He's like a rose in full bloom, its long flowering season matched only by the growing air of death around it. At last, his younger sister can no longer hide her disgust and tells him to get out of her home. His mother says, "Shen Jiao, you're twenty-one. The Shen family has supported you for long enough. It's time you learned to live on your own." So he is thrown out onto the street, wheelchair and all. * Lu Ting crawled out of a mountain of corpses and became the head of the Lu family at a young age. In outsiders' eyes, he is an out-and-out lunatic. On his first day back in the country, he attends his maternal grandmother's birthday banquet. The kind old woman everyone knows turns grim and drives him out, throwing his expensive gift in the trash. In the pouring rain, he meets Shen Jiao. The young man sits in his wheelchair, soaked through. Only his face is beautiful, like a demon of bewitching allure risen from the depths below. The tall man holds an umbrella and bends down slightly in front of him. "Will you come with me?" Shen Jiao looks up and meets a pair of gray-blue eyes. The rain pours down, and his world vanishes beneath it. Only the unfamiliar man reaches out a hand to him. So he gives in and places his hand in the man's palm. * The Shen family's business goes into a steep decline, and Shen Qiuhe pulls strings until she manages to get an audience with Lu Ting. The aloof head of the Lu family now willingly bends down, kneeling on one knee. His expensive suit trousers are stained with dirt, and his usually stern face wears a tenderness she has never seen before. "There's soup simmering in the kitchen, Jiao. How about drinking a little more?" In a daze, she sees the son she drove out of the house lift his head from Lu Ting's arms. Reader's Guide: 1. There's a reason the bottom has a feminine name. 2. The bottom is paralyzed from the waist down, and it won't get better. He has long hair and wears women's clothes. Read with caution if that's not your thing. 3. Neither the top nor the bottom has good values, and both are crazy. The top is openly crazy, while the bottom is crazy in private. 4. A sweet story of mutual redemption (probably). 6. (Added later) I'm just a hack who writes novels. Whether the characters are good or bad is only for the sake of the story, and gender is only for the sake of the plot. The mother and sister are singled out in the blurb because the protagonist, the bottom, is affected by a family environment that favors girls over boys, since women inherit the family business. This only applies to the protagonist's family, not the worldview of the novel. These two characters are important turning points in the story. Not all women are bad; the men in the story are worse than the women, and there are plenty of good women too. Please, please stop getting hung up on this! Up next: "Matched with an Honest Man" Blurb: Song Shiming is blind. Encouraged by a friend, he finally takes the first step toward a new life: He decides to go on a blind date. The matchmaker asks what he wants in a partner. Considering his circumstances, Song Shiming politely explains what he's looking for: Not too tall, honest and gentle, with an ordinary salary. Most importantly, he shouldn't mind that Song Shiming is blind. A week later, the matchmaker finds someone for him, her voice full of excitement. "I found someone who matches your requirements. He's 1.7 meters tall and works at a supermarket. He's honest, and all his friends say he's gentle. He definitely won't mind that you're blind." So Song Shiming goes to a cafe to meet the man. Across from him, the man's long, narrow eyes are slightly lowered. His gaze sweeps over Song Shiming's face, and dark, inscrutable currents roil in his eyes. He reaches out to put a sugar cube in his coffee. The blue gemstone cuff link on his suit sleeve gleams under the lights. He's tall and straight-backed, with an air of nobility in every move. "Li Chao. That's my name. I think I fit what you're looking for." The man's voice is low. When he doesn't smile, his brows seem dusted with winter snow, so cold it cuts to the bone. Song Shiming thinks he's found the honest man of legend. And so he marries Li Chao. Their married life is fairly harmonious. It's just that Song Shiming, at 1.75 meters tall, can only rest his head on his 1.7-meter husband's shoulder when standing straight. It's just that his honest, simple-minded husband is distinctly not honest in certain situations, and often makes Song Shiming miss breakfast the next day. He thinks life will go on in this ordinary, peaceful way. Until his husband develops a split personality when Song Shiming isn't looking. Theme: Have love and courage
