The Frail, Mute Beauty Faked Her Death

The full novel is complete. Thank you for reading the original version. The blurb for my next upcoming novel, "The Beautiful Beta Everyone Covets," is at the very bottom ↓ A cold, sickly, breathtakingly beautiful shou × a hypocritical, smiling tiger of a gong, a sinister and unhinged crown prince Jin Yu's codename was Jin Qi. He was the most skilled fighter among the younger generation of assassins in the Black Eagle Pavilion. But one day, the crown prince wiped out the entire organization, and Jin Yu became His Highness's personal attendant. At their first meeting, the man was utterly malicious. He lifted Jin Yu's chin and examined the ugly scar on his face, then sneered, "What an ugly person." Jin Yu was mute, cold and indifferent, and utterly without a conscience. Forced to serve Xiao Zheyuan, he planned to use him to kill his enemies and seize an opportunity to take revenge. But Xiao Zheyuan was a paranoid, suspicious mad dog who could even bring himself to make a move on an ugly monster... Xiao Zheyuan was the powerful crown prince of the Great Yong Dynasty. To everyone, he was a dissolute playboy who spent his days carousing and never applied himself. In truth, he was a calculating, scheming wolf in sheep's clothing. Hypocritical and sinister, he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, and that included Jin Yu. Jin Yu wanted to escape, so Xiao Zheyuan used every threat and temptation to force him to stay by his side. Jin Yu wanted to bite through his throat, but Xiao Zheyuan didn't care about the boundless hatred. Love or hate, as long as Jin Yu belonged to him, none of it mattered. Xiao Zheyuan kept Jin Yu imprisoned by his side, day after day, until one day, Jin Yu died. He succumbed to poison on a snowy night... Xiao Zheyuan refused to believe Jin Yu was dead. He would see a body if Jin Yu was dead, and see him alive if he wasn't. He searched every inch of Chang'an, even turning the mass grave upside down, but he couldn't find him anywhere. Then, one day, while hunting, he wandered into a bamboo grove deep in the mountains. He turned around, and the person he had longed for was right before his eyes... The people of Great Yong who were fortunate enough to see their empress praised him, saying, "The empress is compassionate and divine, the most beautiful person under heaven." The palace attendants who served the empress thought so too. But what shocked them even more was that their emperor, a ruthless man whose fury could leave a million corpses in its wake, was now humbling himself and coaxing his beloved in the gentlest voice. "The imperial physician says you're frail and need to take good care of yourself. You find me annoying, so I won't bother you. Please eat a little more, all right?" Jin Yu pulled his hand from the emperor's grasp and silently pointed at the door: Get out. The palace attendants trembled, afraid that the emperor, who always commanded awe without needing to show anger, would have someone slaughtered on the spot. But Xiao Zheyuan only managed a strained smile and quietly left. Reader's Guide: 1. One-on-one pairing, both are virgins. An old-school, melodramatic, coercive and abusive romance, sweet in the later half, with a big HE! 2. There isn't much political intrigue. The author's logic is weak and the writing is amateurish; everything serves the romance. * Content warning: the extras include childbirth. (P.S. If you can't handle melodrama, proceed with caution!) Upcoming novel: an ABO coercive romance, "The Beautiful Beta Everyone Covets"! Please add it to your collection! A resilient and beautiful beta, frail yet tenacious, shou × an outwardly gentle but inwardly twisted, vicious, and perverse Alpha gong Jiang Shiyou was a beautiful, delicate-looking beta. In his sophomore year, he accepted Gu Zhiyu's year-long pursuit, and through him met his roommate. But his boyfriend's roommate began looking at him in an increasingly unsettling way... Xie Jingchen was the heartthrob of Jing University, an S-rank Alpha and the only son of the wealthy Xie family, adored by everyone. Yet he kept appearing beside Jiang Shiyou for no apparent reason. Jiang Shiyou found it baffling, but couldn't see through him. Xie Jingchen's gaze carried the madness of a long-dormant heart suddenly stirred into a frenzy. Across a sea of people, it seemed to pin Jiang Shiyou firmly in place, and only belatedly did he begin to feel afraid... Every touch left him trembling with fear. All he wanted was to get as far away as possible. Just when he thought he had managed to avoid him, one day the man suddenly shoved him against the door, lifted his chin, and stared at him with deep, shadowy eyes. "Break up with him." Xie Jingchen seemed gentle and refined, with a kind smile always playing on his lips. But his sharp eyes belonged to a pervert who coveted his roommate's boyfriend. He had met Jiang Shiyou first. So why had Jiang Shiyou ended up as someone else's boyfriend? Why had he forgotten him and started avoiding him? Whenever Xie Jingchen saw Gu Zhiyu with Jiang Shiyou, his twisted, perverse, and dark thoughts grew unchecked, until one day he finally imprisoned Jiang Shiyou by his side... A villa halfway up a mountain, a castle by the sea: Xie Jingchen built a lavish cage for Jiang Shiyou, wanting nothing more than to keep his beautiful, delicate treasure locked away. Yet this beta, who seemed as fragile as a climbing vine, had never loved him, not from the very beginning. "Jiang Shiyou, can you really not love me? Even just a little?" His keen eyes fixed on the person propped against the headboard, his voice humble and pleading. The beautiful beta's eyes brimmed with tears, endless sorrow in his gaze. In a pitiful voice, he pleaded just as earnestly: "Let me go..." Theme: Overcome adversity, stand up for what's right, and choose kindness.
