A Guide to Pampering the Frail Sweet Pea

When Yu Luotang woke up, he discovered that the world he lived in was nothing more than a book, and he was the cannon-fodder foil to the protagonist shou.

A beautiful, pampered, frail invalid, a dodder flower who could only cling to others and beg for their pity to survive.

The protagonist shou was his younger brother, Yu Luobai. He had been sunny and cheerful since childhood, but was also calculating and capable. He debuted at eighteen and made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

All the so-called painstaking effort his family had put into raising him was just to sell him for a good price and pave the way for Yu Luobai.

Luckily, the night before he was supposed to discuss his engagement with the protagonist gong, he awakened to his memories.

The protagonist gong had long been secretly involved with his younger brother. Not long after their marriage alliance, the two of them schemed to kill him and take all the assets in his name. His family shed a few crocodile tears, then promptly forgot all about him.

Yu Luotang rejected the hypocritical protagonist gong and chose Xie Wangqi, the great villain in the book.

They said Xie Wangqi suffered from severe insomnia, had a violent and unrestrained temperament, and was so perverse in his ways that everyone in the imperial capital trembled at the mention of his name.

Yu Luotang didn't care. He just wanted to leave the Yu family. He just wanted to stay alive.

Besides, Xie Wangqi wasn't as cold and heartless as he'd imagined. Instead, he was gentle and considerate, spoiled him rotten, and indulged his every request.

Except that he was a little... clingy.

He needed to hold Yu Luotang every night to fall asleep, loved nibbling the red mole on his collarbone, and would lift his chin for long, lingering kisses. His appetite for him also seemed especially...

Xie Wangqi suddenly found himself with a delicate, fragile partner in a marriage alliance. The other man was impossibly beautiful, and after just one glance, Xie Wangqi couldn't look away.

When they were together, his worsening headaches gradually eased. When they cuddled and stayed close, his violent moods slowly calmed. Sharing a bed, he could sleep peacefully through the night.

Xie Wangqi wished he could pluck the stars from the sky and give everything to his little dodder flower.

"Xie Wangqi, I'm scared to be alone. Stay with me."

"All right."

"Gege, I want the Yu family ruined, and Yu Luobai disgraced."

"All right."

"Hubby, you have to love me more than you did yesterday."

"All right."

"Puppy, you're too insatiable. We need to sleep in separate rooms."

"No."

Xie Wangqi fixed his bloodshot gaze on Yu Luotang and drew him into a deep kiss, holding his chin. He could fulfill any of Yu Luotang's requests except that one.

A Guide to Pampering Your Dodder Flower

1. Your little dodder flower is afraid of the dark and thunderstorms. Hold him in your arms and soothe him to sleep.

2. Your little dodder flower is delicate and frail. Have his medication ready, and when the time comes, be utterly restrained and utterly gentle.

3. Your little dodder flower needs lots of money, and even more love. Love him with all your heart.

4. Support your little dodder flower unconditionally. Whatever he wants, whatever he needs, be the vine that helps him climb, not a thorny cage that traps him.

P.S. The shou will have his own career.
