Pillow of Beauty

A rugged, formidable grassland warrior x a fallen beauty from the Central Plains (wolf-and-sheep pairing / size difference)

Shen Guining came from a noble family. With skin as fair as snow and a face like a flower, she was pursued by countless princes and nobles in Chang'an.

But the court was corrupt, and one day her father was framed by treacherous men. The entire family was exiled.

On the way to Liangzhou, they were attacked by bandits, and she was accidentally captured by human traffickers and taken to the borderlands.

Just as an old brothel madam took an interest in her and wanted to buy her as a courtesan, a foreign man traded a ruby for her. Shen Guining became his Central Plains slave.

She had heard that foreign men enjoyed tormenting women from the Central Plains. She looked fearfully at the tall, muscular man, even able to make out the solid muscles beneath his clothes.

Huddled in a corner, she held up a dagger that couldn't hurt him in the slightest with trembling hands. Tears streamed down her face as she begged him to let her go.

His predatory gaze fell on her stunning face. He smiled cruelly. "Dream on."

Su Mu bought a Central Plains slave from a man of the Central Plains.

At first, the slave begged him to let her go every day, but why would he let go of prey he had already caught?

But the slave was so delicate. She couldn't lift a hand or carry a burden, and even washing clothes left her fingertips raw. She also had a habit of looking at him with tearful, pitiful eyes.

The law of survival on the grasslands had always been the survival of the fittest. In Su Mu's eyes, a weak little sheep like Shen Guining wouldn't last long out there.

Yet, with every concession he made, the little sheep not only survived, but grew bolder and bolder around him, until he forgot why he had bought her in the first place.

In the king's tent on a winter night on the grasslands, the man reached out as usual and placed the young woman's icy feet in his palms, slowly warming them.

At first, he thought he had bought a slave he could order around as he pleased.

Later, he wished he could cradle her in his hands and never let her go.
