After Being Betrayed by the Loyal Dog I Took In

A crazy, cold-hearted, bewitchingly beautiful heroine x a restrained, devoted, exceptional hero

[The heroine is six years older than the hero]

[Cold and proud toward others, the hero is humble and obedient before the heroine]

Lu Xiyue was breathtakingly beautiful. Since childhood, she had disguised herself as a boy and gone by the name Lu Xiao.

She was betrayed when she was young, and from then on, she never trusted anyone again.

Later, she brought eight-year-old Su Bai to the Carefree Manor and watched as his martial arts improved and his reputation grew.

Until the year she turned twenty-three, when she lost all her inner strength and became a cripple.

And the culprit was none other than the boy who had always obeyed her in everything!

She lashed him again and again until he was covered in wounds, subjecting him to every kind of humiliation and torment.

Yet the young man never once begged for mercy.

His refined features remained docile, and he even willingly took a poison that caused unbearable agony, just to stay by her side.

Su Bai, what other schemes are you hiding?

Su Bai wore a blue robe and a jade hairpin, his bearing as polished as jade.

Everyone in the martial world looked up to him and feared him.

But only he knew that he was a despicable man who had fallen in love with his senior brother.

Until he discovered that she was a woman. A woman!

He knew she was cold and suspicious, and never trusted anyone.

He was willing to use himself as bait and lower himself into the dust, all to warm her heart of stone.

[Short scene]

Night had fallen.

The man who struck fear into the martial world wore only a moon-white robe as he knelt before Lu Xiyue's bed. His usually cool eyes were faintly red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Senior Brother, please look at me..."

Hero reborn / groveling redemption arc / hero gets tormented

Chu Qingruan is the least favored concubine-born daughter in her family, and her circumstances are difficult.

Fortunately, she has a childhood sweetheart.

Once they marry, she'll be able to escape the Chu family!

But an unknown scheme shattered her dreams overnight. She was forced to marry Prince Rui, Duan Xiao, and became one of his ordinary concubines.

Prince Rui, Duan Xiao, is the reigning emperor's most beloved younger brother. Though born to the imperial family, he's cold and heartless. Everyone in the capital knows he's moody, sinister, and cruel.

The day before she was to marry, her legitimate elder sister smiled and said, "Fifth Sister, I hope you'll still be alive to attend Grandmother's birthday banquet six months from now."

Duan Xiao was aloof and arrogant, yet he was outmaneuvered by a young woman.

He whipped her and made her kneel.

When she begged to leave the manor to visit her seriously ill aunt, he never even looked her in the eye.

Until one day, he realized that his heart and mind were full of the delicate woman, and her tearful eyes.

But she stabbed herself in the chest right in front of him.

Blood spurted everywhere, soaking him.

Now that he has been reborn, he will protect her as if she were his most precious treasure.

He will repay every wrong he did in his previous life.

A seemingly frail but actually strong and commanding young lady x a tyrannical wolf-dog prince who is obedient only to the heroine

In their previous life, Duan Xiao swung his whip and said coldly, "Even if you cry yourself to death, it won't affect me in the slightest."

In this life, Chu Qingruan accidentally got dust in her eye and it turned red. Duan Xiao looked stricken with guilt and stammered, "What did I do wrong to make Ruanruan sad?"

[Short scene]

Everyone in the capital was saying that the usually cruel Prince Rui seemed to have changed.

Then her legitimate elder sister used the excuse of visiting her to get close to Duan Xiao.

That night,

Chu Qingruan took a heavy sandalwood box from Duan Xiao's hands. She opened it with trembling fingers, only to find a long whip wound with gold thread inside!

Then the imposing man slowly knelt before her.

He looked up at her and said in a hoarse voice, "I shouldn't have let another woman come near me. Ruanruan, punish me."
