I Offended a Madman and He Imprisoned Me

Cui Daigui has a habit of keeping a journal.

Back from the dead and still seething with resentment, she briskly wrote down her enemy's full name.

Once she finished, it struck her as bad luck. She turned the page and carefully wrote out the name of that Lu family's elegant young gentleman.

After hiring an assassin, she wrote: My enemy is about to die. How delightful.

When she was going to see Young Master Lu, she wrote: I am about to meet my beloved. How delightful.

To sum it all up: Two joys at once, joy upon joy!

One day, she stumbled upon a secret while at a Taoist temple: her enemy Gu Yan was hopelessly in love with her cruel elder half-sister!

Thinking of how Gu Yan had lost by a single move in her previous life and been brought to ruin, she was so delighted that a bold idea sprang to mind:

A turtle belongs with a tortoise, a jackal with a tiger. Those two were made to be bound together, locked together, and die together.

Their passion needed only a little more fuel, and she was ready to toss on a log!

Cui Daigui worked tirelessly, using her elder sister's name to fuss over Gu Yan and flatter him, while secretly plotting against him, all honeyed words and hidden daggers. She just had to wait for the day Gu Yan fell, and her elder sister would fall with him.

But little by little, the way that man looked at her grew more and more peculiar. He even started avoiding her gaze.

Cui Daigui: ...Shifty eyes mean he's up to no good!

So she kept an even closer watch on him, day and night, and worked herself to the bone. In the end, she decided to simply give him a dose of poison and send him to his death.

Who could have guessed that her poisoning would fail and she'd be drugged instead? As the effects took hold, she rushed to Young Master Lu's residence in the middle of the night. She lay on the bed, waiting and waiting, only for Gu Yan to kick the door open and storm in.

He glared at her, clutching her journal. Leaping onto the bed, he pinned her legs down and ground out, "I thought you loved me. You were trying to kill me?"

The candlelight flickered red, and her hairpins and ornaments clattered to the floor.

In a fit of fury, Cui Daigui bit down on his shoulder.

Then the south window suddenly shattered. The usually pure and upright, composed and dignified Young Master Lu rushed in, face frosty, and held a knife to Gu Yan's neck.

Cui Daigui, her clothes in disarray, had her arms around Gu Yan's neck as she bit him: "..."

The sky had fallen.

Gu Yan was a lonely soul wandering the mortal world.

For ten years, he had failed to repay the great kindness shown to him. His teachers and friends were gone, and whether alive or dead, he could find no peace.

All he wanted was to avenge his great wrongs and find a green mountain where he could be laid to rest.

Then a young woman broke into his heart.

She was sly, willful, impatient, and not very clever. She would smile at him one moment, then make his veins throb the next. She was nothing but trouble.

But she loved him terribly much.

Gu Yan thought, Her feelings are moving, and her behavior is understandable. I'll just put up with her.

He kept putting up with her until that night on the bed at the Lu residence.

Her flushed face and fragrant cheeks glowed in the candlelight, her eyes shifting hazily as every name she called was Young Master Lu.

The journal slipped from his hands. At last, the heart he had deceived himself about all along cracked apart, piece by piece. It turned out that the one she held dear had never been him.

But so what?

If she was the joy of his life, then even in death, they would share a grave.

#I've told you eight hundred times I don't love you, but you refuse to believe me

#He finds the green mountains so enchanting, but the green mountains must think he's a fart

My dears, let me recommend my next historical romance, After Seducing My Late Husband's Elder Brother~

Forbidden seduction | Brothers vying for love | A self-restrained, proper gentleman goes mad for love and loses all semblance of himself

1

Hua Zhaoyun had been widowed for six months when her mother fell into trouble.

Only when her shameless father-in-law sent someone to bring her to the capital did she learn that her husband had come from a marquis's household.

And her father-in-law's first words were: "Bear Pei Yu a child, and I'll ensure you and your daughter are safe and sound, living in comfort and splendor for the rest of your lives."

Hua Zhaoyun: "...Huh?"

Hua Zhaoyun: "Perhaps your customs are different, but where I come from, a woman wouldn't dare sleep with her husband's elder brother and bear his child."

2

Pei Yu, Censor-in-Chief, had followed the Buddha since childhood. He was as steadfast as a winter pine, upright and disciplined.

A man who couldn't stand the slightest transgression had recently found his gaze repeatedly caught by the sight of a pale, slender neck.

It belonged to his younger brother's newly widowed wife.

Dignified, courteous, timid, and gentle, she was most remarkable for her devotion to his younger brother.

For his brother's sake, if she ever ran into trouble, he was willing to help her fairly, now and then.

But as time went by, their involvement only deepened.

It wasn't until his hand brushed the pale lotus-colored undergarment on the bed that he suddenly came to his senses.

Beneath the covers, desire surged, fierce and impossible to suppress.

"Beast."

He raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.

Hua Zhaoyun carefully played the part of a widow as she seduced him, and at last managed to get the cold man drunk.

Just as they were about to go all the way, her dead husband came back.

"Father's talk of finding a man to father a child for you was utterly absurd."

"Fortunately, my honorable elder brother knows nothing about it. Let's pretend it never happened."

"Don't worry. I'll do what I can to resolve the matter with your mother-in-law."

After a long silence, Hua Zhaoyun put on her outer robe, half helpless and half melancholy. Her voice was soft and alluring as she said, "In this life, Pei Lang is the only one I can rely on."

At the writing desk nearby, the drunken man's eyelashes trembled as he slept. For a moment, dark clouds roiled in his black eyes.

The night before, when his poor younger sister-in-law had accidentally fallen into his arms, she had whispered those very same words in his ear.

So she had been deliberately seducing him all along.

All those nights of struggling to hold back had become a complete joke.

"Beast."

He hated that he wasn't a beast.

He was going to become one.

[Little Scene]

"Elder Brother refused all the portraits of young ladies sent from the palace. Is there someone you have your heart set on?"

Pei Yu raised his eyes from his desk and smiled faintly. "I like women whose husbands are dead."

"Which virtuous widow is it?" Pei Yan mused. "If you want her, Elder Brother, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Is that so?" Pei Yu stared at him. "But that woman's husband has come back to life."
