My Love, You've Misled Me

Please bookmark my next preorder, "The Lame Young Master and His Blind Maid."

A Luo is an unlucky transmigrator. A piece of jade on the young master of the Cui family can send her home.

Outside the Cui residence, no one knows what kind of venomous thoughts hide beneath the young master's beautiful, bodhisattva-like face: insecurity, sensitivity, twistedness, and cruelty.

Because he is lame.

She enters the residence as his maid. First, he torments her until not a patch of skin is left uninjured. Then, little by little, she learns how to keep the young master in check.

Outsiders think she is beaten and scolded at will. But who has seen him gasping and trembling, weeping beneath her hands at night?

When he gradually learns to walk normally and becomes a noble young master everyone admires, A Luo finally manages to get the jade from him. She breathes a sigh of relief, fakes her death, and leaves.

Cui Rong, a young master of a distinguished family, comes from a prominent background. He knows the classics and poetry, excels in the six arts, and is every inch a refined gentleman, with a reputation as the most handsome man in the world.

He's perfect in every way, except that he used to be lame.

But he got better.

Though he is also a little crazy.

They say that after a wicked maid in his household died, he dug up her grave and whipped her corpse in the pouring rain. He laughed and cried like a madman, then took her body and rode out of the city. No one heard from him again.

A Luo shuddered when she learned what he had done.

A lunatic is a lunatic!

Anyone who still calls him a gentleman must be blind!

She hid in some remote place, holding the jade and quietly waiting for the celestial sign that would send her back.

"Knock, knock."

A Luo shivered for no reason. Who could have found her here?

P.S. The heroine isn't blind. She's nearsighted and pretends to be blind.

Synopsis:

(One couple, both virgins, marriage before love, a long-standing secret crush, and a forced relationship. The heroine initially has feelings for her childhood friend. Neither lead has ever been with anyone but each other, physically or emotionally.)

When Gu Jingzhen traveled to the capital to take up a post, he brought his fiancee with him. They stopped in a village along the way, and she suddenly disappeared for half a day.

The next morning, his fiancee finally returned, but Gu Jingzhen felt that something about her was strange.

But the person who had reappeared looked exactly the same, right down to every strand of hair. How could she not be the same person?

There have been countless wrongful cases like the Lu family's throughout history. How many have been buried without a trace?

At the time, only Miss Lu was spared exile because she was engaged and had just married into the Gu family, and was pregnant. The rest of her clan were either dead or crippled. Even having their case overturned was a rare stroke of luck.

Everyone said that it was because Young Master Gu and Miss Lu were a devoted couple, so deeply in love that he was willing to go to such lengths to clear the Lu family's name.

Their grievances had been redressed, and it should have been a happy day. Yet the Gu residence was dead silent, with only a woman's hoarse, muffled sobs coming from the bedroom.

The red candles burned through the night.

Tears glistened in the corners of Lu Yuyin's eyes. Her cherry-red lips were bitten bloody, and the pain in her wrists made her cry out again.

She couldn't help confessing and begging for mercy. "Brother-in-law..."

The man suddenly flew into a rage. His usually cool, noble eyes were bloodshot as he snarled, "Shut up! Who gave you permission to call me that?"

All that tenderness and affection, all those vows of everlasting love, had been lies she used to deceive and manipulate him.

He tugged at her clothes, exposing the slight swell of the belly she had been desperately guarding.

"I deserve to die. Please spare my sister and the others, Brother-in-law..."

The eldest Lu daughter had fled when the trouble began. The one who had taken her place as the bride was the less favored second daughter. Now that the Lu family's name had been cleared and her elder sister had returned, she should have stepped aside. But she discovered she could no longer escape.

Now, all she wanted was to die and put an end to his fury. She closed her misty eyes, but he grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.

Gu Jingzhen laughed in fury, his voice icy and tinged with scorn.

"You want to die? Hah... Go ahead and die, then. I don't care about you. But I'm keeping the baby."

Reader's note: The elder sister and the male lead were only engaged. They barely knew each other and had no feelings for one another.
