In this era of strength worship, You Lu, the young master of the military family Wei Jia, is a pretty face who gets winded after a few steps.
"He really is a stunning beauty, but what a shame he's sickly."
"He's just a useless omega. His only value is marrying a good alpha and taking care of his husband."
"Who would've thought the Wei Jia family would have such a useless son?"
Few people knew that You Lu suffered from a rare pheromone allergy. It was this illness that left him so frail he could barely breathe, turning him into a clinging vine who could hardly leave his home.
Then the person he had secretly loved for six years met him again, under a new identity. Jiang Nanshan had become Gu Jingnan, and the wild boy from the savage frontier had become an heir to an illustrious family. At last, You Lu had found the perfect tool to mark him.
"Brother Jingnan, could you bite me? You're my very, very best friend. Please help me out, okay?"
He feigned ignorance as he edged dangerously close to the line. Luckily, Gu Jingnan was an exceptionally honest man. He never questioned You Lu's requests, always keeping his word and staying true to his roots.
You Lu maintained his fragile little flower persona, fooling everyone into thinking they had everything under control.
Until at last he stood at the pinnacle of power, The Outcast, the place just beneath one person and above everyone else. The man he loved, whose true face had now been revealed, wore a bloodstained crown, leaving him no way to refuse his demands.
Gu Jingnan was actually wicked and ruthless, with countless people wanting him dead. He had come to the Hotan Empire this time to gather intelligence.
Then he met You Lu again, that somewhat foolish, timid, and pampered young master. Knowing what kind of face You Lu liked, he pretended to be an honest, straight-laced man. It delighted him to watch You Lu grow frustrated when his advances didn't work, though holding back was a real struggle.
Making You Lu unable to leave him was the price of their reunion, his compensation for those six years when he couldn't hold him.
He would make this world pay for it.
