After the Vicious Beauty's Plans Backfire

I was sent to live with the Lu family by my mother when I was young. The Lu family was a renowned cultivation clan. Outsiders all said I was the Lu family head's illegitimate son and would one day seize his position. Lu Qinghe was the family head's son, yet he treated me very well. His neighbor, Ye Huaixun, hated me, constantly belittling me and accusing me of having wicked intentions. Even his sworn enemy, Song Jin, looked down on me, bluntly calling me treacherous, ruthless, and despicable. Lu Qinghe was a gentleman and never listened to slander. He just never imagined that everyone was right. I really was full of vile schemes and wanted to usurp the place that wasn't mine. * In public, I acted kind and innocent. Behind closed doors, I plotted against people and did every kind of wicked deed. I drove a wedge between Ye Huaixun and others and framed him. I even drugged Song Jin. Later, those two idiots, Ye Huaixun and Song Jin, fought over me like mad dogs until they were battered and bloodied, ruining their reputations. It was utterly laughable. The cultivation clans all despised me and called me a villain, but Lu Qinghe insisted on protecting me. I didn't want to be associated with this foolishly benevolent older brother, so I went with the Demon Venerable instead. Only then did I realize that Lu Qinghe had never been the upright gentleman he seemed. He was a madman, a despicable bastard! ** The pitch-black room was lined with soft rugs, but several soul-binding chains were fixed to the walls. Unable to move, I could only watch as Lu Qinghe fed me a pregnancy pill. Pregnancy pills were made for men. Swallow one, and you could conceive a child. I hated Lu Qinghe to the core, cursing him as shameless and utterly immoral. Lu Qinghe ignored me and murmured, “Once Zhaozhao gets pregnant, he won't run away.” Reader's Guide 1. A foolish, scheming, villainous straight male bottom who is hated by all on the surface but adored by all in reality. Old-school cultivation setting, no sects. 2. Old-school confinement and abuse. All tops are sexually inexperienced. 1vn. 3. The main story is told in first person. I crave this old-school melodramatic angst, so I'm writing it for myself. ----Upcoming: The Unlucky Widower Is Always Caught in Time Stops---- Lu Zhiyu was jealous and vain. After graduating from university, he married a man for his money. His husband was a sickly man in a wheelchair. All Lu Zhiyu had to do was wait for him to die and inherit a fortune. But after his husband died, Lu Zhiyu discovered that the idiot was drowning in debt. On the day of the funeral, the creditors filled the hall. They were all men in suits, distinguished and imposing. Lu Zhiyu looked at these powerful men in despair. Thankfully, the next day he got a golden finger. [Ding! Widower System activated!] [Every Friday, a man will enter the Host's bedroom.] [During this time, the Host will fall unconscious and be unable to move, but will remain aware.] [The next day, if the Host identifies the man who entered the bedroom, he can take 50% of that man's resources.] At first, Lu Zhiyu suspected his late husband's younger brother. The little brat called him sister-in-law, yet was always trying to move into his room. Later, Lu Zhiyu suspected his late husband's former boss, who seemed cold and abstinent in public but secretly collected his clothes. Then, Lu Zhiyu suspected his late husband's classmate, who kept using the excuse of looking after his friend's wife to stay at the house indefinitely. Finally, Lu Zhiyu realized everyone around him was suspicious. It seemed they had all been in his room. Who was it? * Lots of men had secret crushes on Lu Zhiyu, but he was hot-tempered, petty, and straight. Luckily, these men all gained the ability to stop time. Every Friday, one of them could use that ability on Lu Zhiyu. But if Lu Zhiyu discovered them, they would lose their time-stopping ability, so the men tried desperately to keep up their disguises. Who would get caught first? ----Upcoming: The Husband-Waiting Sword---- As a child, Pei Tingyao always thought he and his sworn elder brother would stay by each other's side forever, never parting. But in a great battle, he killed his sworn brother with his own hands. From then on, he perfected the Path of Ruthlessness and earned the title of the Profound Yao Sword Venerable. Everyone marveled that the Profound Yao Sword Venerable had proved his Dao by killing his brother, a sword genius rarely seen in a thousand years. Pei Tingyao got what he wanted and became famous. But he never expected his sworn brother to return from the dead and imprison him in a sea of blood, humiliating him night after night. In the dim light, Pei Tingyao's clothes were in tatters, and he looked as wretched as a male courtesan in a brothel. Seeing him cry, his sworn brother no longer felt sorry for him. Instead, he asked, “On the night you killed me, were you as happy as you are tonight?” * Lu Bugui was an orphan. When he found Pei Tingyao at the age of ten, he thought he had finally found a family and was overjoyed. From then on, Pei Tingyao was his whole world. In life or death, everything he did revolved around his younger brother. Only after a sword pierced his heart and his soul scattered did he realize that Pei Tingyao had never considered him family. After coming back to life, he pretended to become Pei Tingyao's disciple, intending to repay blood with blood. But this kid turned out to be gay. What a disgrace! And on top of that...
