Bound by Love is a scum-gong-chases-his-wife-to-the-crematorium story.
The protagonist suffers for over a hundred chapters in the first half, while the gong gets put through the wringer for ten chapters in the second.
After the novel was finished, the scum gong chasing his wife to the bathhouse got dragged onto the trending searches.
The author spent all night overhauling the plot, deleting every detail about the gentle male supporting character.
-
In Jiang Qingye's first year of college, his family sought to climb the social ladder, so they signed a contract and handed him over to Fu Yichen.
He was Fu Yichen's kept canary.
He had to be on call whenever and wherever Fu wanted.
Jiang Qingye seemed to have grown used to this life, even though he had long been covered in scars and wounds.
That is, until his senior year, when he met someone who would never be remembered...
When Fu Yichen lost his temper and kicked him out on a rainy night, this person would appear when Jiang Qingye had nowhere to go, holding an umbrella over him and warming him with his body.
When Fu Yichen pushed him in front of a bullet to protect his beloved, this person would appear and take the shot for him, leaving Jiang Qingye's hands covered in his blood.
This person always appeared whenever misfortune befell him.
But everyone said that no one had helped him, no one had saved him, and no such person existed.
It was an illusion beyond his reach.
Jiang Qingye thought so too.
Until the day Fu Yichen let his rival drug Jiang Qingye, forcing him to flee the room in a sorry state. At the height of his despair, he grabbed a pair of hands.
He looked up and saw that person.
"When you reach out and take my hand, I'll become a monster to love you."
"I was born to exist for the sake of loving you."
Reader's Guide:
1. Beginner-level writing.
2. New-gong story / healing story / melodrama.
3. Pitiful beauty, shou × gentle monster, gong.
4. There is a change-of-gong process: first they break up and are single, then they start dating.
5. While the former relationship is still ongoing, neither the protagonist gong nor shou has any moral issues.
6. The shou has a everyone-loves-him quality. This is not a selling point, not a selling point, not a selling point. It's a warning for readers who can't accept most of the same-age characters liking the shou.
