[Coming soon: My Ex-Husband Went Crazy After I Faked My Death as the One Everyone Hated] Expected to start April 24. Please add it to your favorites~ [Blurb] Character setup: Scheming, dark, hypocritical gong & sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, proud shou To marry Yan Qushan, the noble Second Prince Xiao Qi became a laughingstock throughout the capital. Everyone mocked him for stealing someone else's beloved and blamed him for breaking up Yan Qushan and his fourth brother, the perfect couple. But no one knew that, years ago, Yan Qushan had been his study companion. Xiao Qi had met and grown close to him before Yan Qushan ever met his fourth brother. They had relied on each other to survive in the lonely depths of the palace. Xiao Qi couldn't accept it. He kept doing everything he could to win Yan Qushan's genuine affection. They spent their days and nights entwined, whispering and caressing like the most loving ordinary married couple. And then Xiao Qi discovered he was pregnant. He thought that after all the hardship, happiness was finally within reach. But before he could enjoy it for more than a few days, he learned that his maternal grandfather and uncle, the only people who had ever truly loved him, had been accused of the grave crime of “plotting a rebellion.” And the memorial impeaching them had been submitted by the man who shared his bed, his husband, Yan Qushan. The drums pleading for justice rang out across the capital, but the Forbidden City remained deathly silent. Xiao Qi knelt at the end of Chang'an Street beneath a sky full of frost and snow. Again and again, he struck his forehead against the cold stone pavement. Blood seeped out, forming a vivid red streak on the ground. At that very moment, his husband was celebrating his fourth brother's birthday. The day was bitterly cold, and Xiao Qi had been kneeling for far too long. In the end, he lost the baby. He felt something sticky between his legs, and the vivid, warm blood melted the cold snow, pooling into a horrifying lake. But all Xiao Qi could think was The pain of losing his child was nothing compared to even a fraction of the pain in his heart. He had given up his sincere love and lost his first child. Xiao Qi could only feel how foolish and ridiculous he had been. He didn't want to, and would never again, feel anything genuine for that despicable hypocrite. But Yan Qushan sat beside his bed and listened quietly to everything he said. Then he gently caressed Xiao Qi's pale yet still breathtakingly beautiful face. His body trembled slightly, like a madman struggling to keep himself in check. “Don't say such foolish things,” Yan Qushan said in a low voice. “We will never divorce.” Before Xiao Qi could react, someone gripped his jaw and forced his mouth open. Yan Qushan brought over a wine jug, its slender spout pouring rich, fragrant liquor down Xiao Qi's tender throat. His blood seemed to catch fire. Only then did he realize what was in the wine. Xiao Qi tried to fight back, but his body was limp and powerless as cotton. All he could do was watch as Yan Qushan undid his belt. “Another child... another child...” Yan Qushan murmured, his handsome face looking demonic in the candlelight. “Then you won't want to leave me anymore, will you?” 1. A third-rate trashy novel. 2. Both leads are pure in body and heart. The gong is a lunatic, and this story is completely unhinged and melodramatic. Please don't yell at me, orz. 3. And don't yell at the shou either. No shou-bashing. 4. This is a melodramatic story, not suitable for readers with high standards for characterization. Coming soon 1: My Ex-Husband Went Crazy After I Faked My Death as the One Everyone Hated [Character setup]: Aloof (or so he claims), gifted gong & gloomy beauty shou pretending to be hated by everyone Tropes: Old-school melodrama, rival suitors competing to win back the shou Li Zhi suffered from relentless school bullying. After the wealthy young master Chu Mingzhang rescued him, he fell deeply in love with him and became his number-one fan, sidekick, and bag carrier. Being his sidekick was pretty great, but Li Zhi still harbored some unrealistic fantasies about Chu Mingzhang. Becoming Chu Mingzhang's boyfriend was Li Zhi's greatest wish. He even prayed to the Bodhisattva for it during the New Year. But the Bodhisattva was far too busy to pay him any attention. All Li Zhi could do was sheepishly tuck his feelings away and keep telling himself that being a sidekick was a pretty sweet deal. Until one day, Li Zhi watched helplessly as Chu Mingzhang fell from the clouds. He suddenly realized this might be the only chance in his entire life to make his wish come true... So the timid Li Zhi did something incredibly bold: he asked his dream man out to “negotiate.” Li Zhi sat across from him, trembling as he laid a contract in front of Chu Mingzhang. “I... I can sell the shares Dad gave me. The money can go to... help you deal with your cash flow problem...” Chu Mingzhang asked, “And what do you want in return?” Li Zhi said, “Marry me.” Chu Mingzhang's expression shifted through anger, humiliation, and shame. But in the end, he picked up the pen and signed the contract. Before the wedding, Li Zhi had high hopes for his marriage to Chu Mingzhang. Afterward, reality crushed those hopes with its own hands. Forced relationships never end well. Chu Mingzhang was annoyed by him, truly annoyed. In their marriage, they barely spoke except for having sex once a month. And even then, Chu Mingzhang had to take pills to fulfill his marital duties. Chu Mingzhang hated him far more than Li Zhi had ever imagined. Throughout their three-year marriage, Li Zhi repeatedly tried to get close, only to be met with coldness and sarcasm. Even a masochist has limits. At last, Li Zhi couldn't take this miserable marriage anymore and asked Chu Mingzhang for a divorce. But this time, the man who was always so arrogant changed his tune. Chu Mingzhang refused to grant his request. He even used his status as Li Zhi's “husband” to have him locked up in a psychiatric hospital. On the twelfth occasion Li Zhi refused the soup Chu Mingzhang offered and tiredly turned his head away, Chu Mingzhang finally couldn't take it anymore. He looked like he wanted to lose his temper, but managed to hold back. There was a deep scar on Chu Mingzhang's head, left by the vase Li Zhi had smashed over it during one of their arguments. He pointed at his head and softened his voice. “I'll forgive you, and you forgive me. As long as you don't divorce me, I'll sign the papers and take you home. All right?” Li Zhi shook his head and said flatly, “I want a divorce.” Chu Mingzhang's expression turned cold. “Anything but that.” He was adamant. Li Zhi could tell he wanted to salvage something, but he truly didn't have the strength to keep living with him. Maybe even Heaven couldn't stand it anymore. In the third month of Li Zhi's confinement, a fire inexplicably broke out in the hospital. By the time Chu Mingzhang rushed back from a business trip, Li Zhi's room had been burned black. And that person... Li Zhi had no way to escape... Chu Mingzhang dropped to his knees and held the charred, unrecognizable body. He kissed its blackened face, laughing and crying like a madman. Again and again, he said he was sorry and that he loved Li Zhi. But it was no use. A corpse couldn't hear him. On the seventh day after Li Zhi's “death,” an eight o'clock train sped out of the city, bound for a faraway place no one knew... The shou pretends to be hated by everyone but is actually adored by everyone. Both leads are pure in body and heart, and belong only to each other. An absolutely brutal groveling arc. Later on, the beauty will train his dog while in tears. The shou really does have mental health issues, and the gong is mentally ill too. Two lunatics fall in love. Coming soon 2: After the Beloved Beauty O Gives Up Character setup: Deeply devoted, taciturn, self-made, fatherly gong x formerly well-behaved, later a lunatic who cuts off all ties shou Tropes: Gong change, winning back the shou, amnesia [My husband tormented me until I was ready to jump off a rooftop and kill myself. When I turned around, I saw my ex-boyfriend was there too.] [Blurb] Before the age of twenty-two, Sheng Mian had everything. Looks, family background, status: he lacked none of the three. And on top of that, he had a top-tier Alpha boyfriend who had been his childhood friend. Sheng Mian never doubted their love, because Gu Yanze loved him so much. When they were dating, the thing Gu Yanze said most often was, “Baby, I want to give you an even better life than the one you have now.” Gu Yanze would kneel to kiss the back of his hand, his deep eyes reflecting only Sheng Mian. “Mianmian, I love you.” Gu Yanze truly delivered. He was the most outstanding Alpha of their generation. Sheng Mian was always certain that he and Gu Yanze would go from campus sweethearts to married partners Until his family told him to marry another powerful Alpha. Sheng Mian had always been a good son, but for the first time, he rebelled against his family's wishes. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he wouldn't give in. He thought that if he stood firm, the matter would eventually blow over. But then Gu Yanze broke up with him. Just as Sheng Mian was exhausted from fighting his family, the man he loved ended their relationship. Sheng Mian was in so much pain that he wanted to die. Their sudden breakup gave rise to an absurd and utterly foolish idea: he wanted to hold on to Gu Yanze by having his child. He used the excuse of meeting one last time before the breakup to get Gu Yanze to come out. Then, when Gu Yanze wasn't paying attention, he slipped drugs into his drink. Before Sheng Mian could process what was happening, they were tangled together. The drug wasn't actually that potent, but Sheng Mian couldn't understand why Gu Yanze had been so intense that night. As they clung to each other, something warm and wet seemed to fall into the hollow of Sheng Mian's shoulder. Sure enough, Sheng Mian became pregnant. He happily took his prenatal checkup results to find Gu Yanze, only to learn that Gu Yanze had enlisted. Sheng Mian's Omega father stepped forward and looked at him coolly, his words as cold as he was. “He left. Don't you understand why?” “He doesn't want this child. Sheng Mian, get rid of it.” Sheng Mian felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. Later, he married another Alpha, just as his family had hoped. Like any other Omega spouse, Sheng Mian maintained the appearance of a happy marriage, but his life was even more miserable. His husband hated him, and Sheng Mian could no longer have children. During their four years of marriage, Li Zhuo tormented him for three and a half of them. The ironic thing was that Li Zhuo had personally come to the Sheng family to ask for his hand in marriage. Back then, he had seemed to like Sheng Mian very much. But there was no point dwelling on that now. Sitting at the head of the bed, Sheng Mian was practiced at applying ointment to the bruises and bite marks on his body. He thought his life would always be this way, a worthless Omega who served no purpose, until he saw Gu Yanze again. Gu Yanze, who had become a general of the Alliance at just twenty-eight. Sheng Mian was covered in wounds, while Gu Yanze was decorated with military honors. He never expected to have anything to do with him again... but he couldn't understand why Gu Yanze had started forcing his way into his chaotic life. Gu Yanze wept as he kissed the scars on Sheng Mian's body, apologizing over and over. “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby...” “I thought you'd have a better life if you married him. I was wrong.” Sheng Mian blinked mechanically. Gu Yanze probably wanted to salvage something too, but it was too late. On a quiet, rainy night, Sheng Mian raised the gun he had spent so long preparing and pointed it at his husband. Six shots, and not one missed. By the time Gu Yanze rushed over after hearing the news, Li Zhuo was lying unconscious in a pool of blood. Sheng Mian sat on the bed beside him with his arms around his knees, staring at her husband, who might or might not be alive. No one knew what he was thinking. Gu Yanze's voice trembled as he approached Sheng Mian through the blood. “Mianmian, put down the gun...” Hearing his voice, Sheng Mian's eyelashes fluttered stiffly. He looked at Gu Yanze as though confused, staring blankly for a long time before suddenly smiling and asking “Who are you?” His smile was beautiful. Two little dimples nestled in his cheeks, and the gentle light fell across his fair, delicate face, making him look like a magnolia flower swaying in the breeze. But in that instant, Gu Yanze felt his heart and soul shatter. Sheng Mian had forgotten everything. He had gone completely mad. Both couples are pure in body and heart. ABO pairing, one-on-one ending. Both gongs get a groveling arc, but one is reduced to ashes. The main couple get back together after the shou's divorce. Theme: Turn away from evil and strive to improve yourself.
