The Scum Gong Regrets It Too Late [Interstellar]

[This is a BE. I got the urge and wanted to indulge, so I wrote it.

Oh, and of course, the scum gong doesn't deserve forgiveness.]

[The main story ends in a BE; the bonus chapters are a double-rebirth HE. (I just couldn't bring myself to be that cruel, sigh.)]

-

Warlord of a Chaotic Era (shou) X Royal Family's Lackey (gong)

Han Xueqing X Yan Mo

-

Yan Mo was once an utterly loyal lackey of the royal family. Later, he betrayed them.

But by the time he finally did, he and the person he loved could never be together again.

Some people, once lost, are lost for a lifetime.

-

When Han Xueqing was young, he saved the gravely wounded Yan Mo, and the two fell in love soon after. Once Yan Mo recovered, he broke up with Han Xueqing and left.

The second time they met, Han Xueqing had become a local ruler, while Yan Mo wore revealing clothes and was willing to sell his body just to persuade Han Xueqing to surrender.

The third time they met, Yan Mo used the token of their love to blackmail Han Xueqing into taking him and a pregnant woman in.

The fourth time they met, thirty-seven years after Han Xueqing first encountered him, Yan Mo returned from the brink of death to confess his love.

Han Xueqing only smiled politely and distantly. "Yan Mo, I don't love you."
