The younger sister who had originally been designated for the political marriage ran away, so Lian Zhi, confined in a deserted palace, had to take her place.

Lian Zhi didn't want to go. He didn't want to marry on a grassland thousands of miles away, and he didn't want to marry a sixty-year-old Chanyu.

He had someone he loved: the son of the Grand Princess Huayang, a noble and brilliant young lord with an imperial bearing and striking beauty. Not long ago, they had just confessed their feelings to each other.

When his beloved heard the news of the political marriage, he held Lian Zhi's hand, his handsome face pale. "Lian Zhi, don't be afraid. Cousin will bring you back."

In his arms, Lian Zhi's tears soaked his little face. He cried silently, his heart bleeding.

But what could he do? He was born to a disgraced consort, and his father the emperor disliked him because of his body. So Lian Zhi was sent off, unwilling and puppet-like, in the bridal sedan bound for his political marriage.

The procession set out with a lavish bridal trousseau stretching ten li, and made its way in grand fashion to the borderlands.

The day before Lian Zhi was to marry the Chanyu, the Chanyu died. But that wasn't good news either. The grasslands had a custom: a son inherits his father's wife, and a younger brother his elder brother's.

The new Chanyu inherited not only his father's throne, but also the wife who had belonged to his father.

The new Chanyu was young and handsome, with striking features and deep-set eyes. But the words that came out of his mouth were shocking.

"That strange body of yours... are you a man or a woman?"

On their wedding night, he poked at Lian Zhi's sore spot like that. Furious, Lian Zhi slapped him and turned his head away, not wanting to look at him.

The little bastard got slapped, but didn't even get angry. His mouth called it disgusting, while his body was all too willing.

And so Lian Zhi's first time was given, just like that, to this little barbarian.

Although her husband verbally despised him, he loved making love to Lian Zhi. The little barbarian had a filthy mouth and was rough, leaving barely an inch of Lian Zhi's body unbruised.

Lian Zhi didn't like him. Lian Zhi liked gentle, refined gentlemen, like the person he loved, his cousin the young lord.

Day and night, Lian Zhi gazed at the moon over the borderlands, hoping that one day his beloved would take him home. He waited and waited, and at last his cousin arrived on horseback to bring him back.

Fierce flames blazed across the grasslands. Everything in sight was blood-red, and severed limbs littered the ground. Terrified, Lian Zhi hid in his cousin's arms, both because of the carnage and because of the little barbarian in the flickering firelight.

The little barbarian glared at him. There seemed to be tears in his eyes, and yet perhaps there weren't. He cursed Lian Zhi and the man he loved with the vilest words.

The little barbarian screamed at Lian Zhi, who was curled up in another man's arms:

"Shen Lian Zhi, run! No matter where you go, I'll find you and bring you back!"

"Shen Lian Zhi, I hate you! When I find you, I'll lock you up and make you keep my cock in your mouth day and night, and give me a whole litter of cubs!!"

"Shen Lian Zhi! I married you. You're my khatun, and you'll be my khatun for the rest of your life!!!"

Lian Zhi turned back in tears. The biting wind stung his face, and his cousin's fluttering sleeve brushed away the tears at the corner of his eye. Lian Zhi shouted:

"I'll never be your wife!"

But the horse had already galloped away, and his voice was swallowed by the howling wind before the little barbarian could hear it.

Overly dramatic blurb:

Everyone in the entertainment industry knows Jiang Zui. Even people who don't know him well have heard the story of this beauty with a backbone.

After years of starring in flops, he was on the verge of wasting his good looks and spending the rest of his life as a bit player. Then, whether through sheer luck or divine intervention, a film made him an overnight star. He even had a chance of becoming the next Best Actor, but he offended a certain "big shot" and plummeted from the clouds to the depths.

Jiang Zui had no choice. One rainy night, he knocked on the door of Pei Youting's villa, setting out on a path he despised more than anything...

Four years later.

Jiang Zui had become a glamorous star to the public, but he still couldn't change the fact that he was a lowly lover. Everyone mocked him behind his back as a "concubine" who could never be promoted to a proper wife. The ridicule and scorn aimed at Jiang Zui never stopped.

People in the industry joked as they placed their bets: "Young Master Pei is getting engaged. How much longer do you think that guy can stay by his side?"

"Six months."

"Fuck, you give him too much credit. Two months, tops."

They all thought Jiang Zui was just a rag to be thrown away once used. But none of them expected that this man, seemingly as stubborn and aloof as a cold stone, would turn the entire Pei family upside down.

Unhinged blurb:

Jiang Zui: I thought I was playing at pure love with my first love in a cesspool, but who knew my longtime unrequited love would turn out to be a beast in human clothing? He not only deceived my body and heart, but he's also a fucking idiot.

Early Pei Youting, basically: What's so bad about being my lover? Don't get cocky just because I'm nice to you.

Later Pei Youting, basically: Brother Xiao Zui, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? I really will die without you.

Jiang Zui: Then don't live.

Reader's guide:

1. Neither is a virgin.

2. Scumbag top.

3. A melodramatic story. Don't bring your moral standards to it. The logic is a mess, and I wrote whatever came to mind. Extreme ship loyalists are advised not to read.

4. I'm sensitive, so please don't insult me. Muah.

5. Enjoy!

Theme: Remain steadfast in the face of love
