I Was Tricked into Marrying an Honest Man

A little preview of upcoming works in the same genre: After Forcing My Way Into Becoming My Husband's Childhood Friend and My Ancestor Gave Me His Throne A possessive top who is good at hiding it x a sunny, sharp-tongued, softhearted bottom The night Ruan Bei's abusive father beat him deaf in one ear, he used the money he'd saved for medical treatment to rescue Qu Shaohan from a gang of thugs. From then on, Qu Shaohan inexplicably stuck to him. His friends said Qu Shaohan was no good. There was no need to look up his record of brawling and getting mixed up with the wrong crowd. Of course Ruan Bei knew. When they met, Qu Shaohan's eyes had been as ferocious as a man-eating wolf's. Just as Ruan Bei was doing everything he could to get rid of him, his mother couldn't take it anymore and died alongside his father. And then Qu Shaohan really was the only one left by his side. With dead eyes, Ruan Bei told him, "You can leave now. I don't have anything to give you." But Qu Shaohan was disarmingly sincere. "I'll take care of you from now on." Ruan Bei thought that, as an uneducated thug, Qu Shaohan could spin a lie without even blinking. But after Qu Shaohan really took care of him for a while, Ruan Bei's tastes got spoiled and he got pampered. Once he was living a life where clothes were put in his hands and meals were served to him, he'd grown downright spoiled. Especially after Qu Shaohan made it big, he got even more outrageous. The most outsiders dared say was, "Mr. Qu, your partner is certainly... 'lively.'" No one dared call him a deaf cripple. Qu Shaohan nodded with satisfaction, proud of the ferocious little cat he'd raised. Later, he told his friends, "I think you have a prejudice against him. He's a good person. He's never once lost his temper with me. He's honest, and all those scars on his body are from people bullying him outside!" His friends looked at the threatening man behind him, whose muscles strained against his clothes, and couldn't imagine anyone using the words "bullied by people" to describe someone like that. Love makes you blind. You're deaf and blind, too. Only after they got married did Ruan Bei gradually realize something was wrong. Qu Shaohan was far too controlling. He demanded a detailed report of everyone Ruan Bei met and everything he did. Having people watch him was bad enough, but there wasn't even a single blind spot in the surveillance at home. What honest guy? He's a freak. Over the past few years, Ruan Bei had grown accustomed to being spoiled and couldn't stand the slightest grievance. When he felt he had no freedom, he loudly demanded a divorce. For the first time, Qu Shaohan couldn't stop himself from getting angry in front of him. "Don't even think about it!" He'd endured all these years to finally have Ruan Bei in his grasp. He would never let go, even if he died. -- The first time Qu Shaohan met Ruan Bei, the other boy bought his life for two hundred yuan. He was so pale and clean-cut, standing before a group of beasts who would eat you alive and leave no trace, completely unaware of how dangerously alluring he was. When he came close and tossed Qu Shaohan the money, he smelled so good. Every little movement of his was unbearably seductive. 1. The bottom is a pitiful little thing at first, but grows into a sunny, cheerful person. Their relationship is a case of one willing to fight and the other half-heartedly giving in. 2. The top has always had psychological problems. He was a little freak as a child and a full-blown freak as an adult. 3. No angst, a sweet romance. 4. He takes care of the bottom from childhood. The story runs from sometime in the 1990s to after 2020. Upcoming novel, this is what I'm writing next: After Forcing My Way Into Becoming My Husband's Childhood Friend Older, fatherly, possessive top x clingy puppy, hopelessly romantic bottom In his previous life, Song Xingyan was a model student: handsome, from a good family, and with a great personality. His only flaw was being a bit of an airhead. He boldly came out publicly as the boyfriend of Zhou Chong, a delinquent who hung around outside school. Everyone said he was finished, that his life had gone down the wrong path and he'd be stuck living in filth and squalor. Half a year later, Song Xingyan showed up dripping in jewelry, proving his critics wrong with his own success. Where was the filth? He had five or six maids waiting on him every day. Where was the squalor? Zhou Chong had never even held anyone else's hand growing up. Song Xingyan was his first in everything. If anyone dared say he was living badly, he'd use the huge diamond ring on his hand to scratch up every window in their house. His detractors said he was being kept, and that there was nothing special about being someone's gigolo. Song Xingyan was so furious that he dragged his boyfriend off to get married right away. The moment he got his little red marriage certificate, he was reborn as a child, back before everything had changed. Song Xingyan, whose brains had finally developed a little, immediately realized this was a great chance to meet his boyfriend earlier. The moment he mentioned Zhou Chong's name, his parents sighed. It turned out his boyfriend had had a miserable childhood. His father was dead, his mother had run off, and he lived under his aunt's roof, treated like a servant and bullied all the time. Song Xingyan immediately made up his mind: I'm going to adopt him! When he found Zhou Chong with his piggy bank, Zhou Chong was fighting in an alley because someone had broken one of his lollipops. Looking at the people sprawled all over the ground, Song Xingyan spat. Serves them right! Who told them to bully my boyfriend? But... his husband, who he'd always remembered as a gentle homemaker, had this side to him? How exciting! In the dim corridor, Zhou Chong used his bloody hands to slowly piece together his "treasure." Sensing someone behind him, he turned and glared. But then he saw the clean, beloved face he'd been longing for, and the boy reached out to tell him to come with him. As if possessed, Zhou Chong took his hand, then suddenly flew into a rage and flung it away. "Get lost!" He was too dirty now. He wasn't worthy of Song Xingyan at all. After his roar, a sob suddenly sounded in the cramped space. He looked up guiltily to see that Song Xingyan's eyes were already red, his mouth trembling as tears fell. "Waaah... You yelled at me!" Zhou Chong panicked at once. He found a clean spot on his clothes to wipe away Song Xingyan's tears, and the boy who'd been so fierce a moment ago melted completely. "Don't cry... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you... Tell me what you want. I'll do anything." Everyone thought Zhou Chong would drop out soon. He was always fighting, and he couldn't even afford tuition. But after a little tagalong appeared at his side, that cold face started to smile, though only for one person. He stopped fighting, his mood stabilized, and he could afford his tuition. He devoted all his time to taking care of Song Xingyan and improving himself. A friend asked Song Xingyan, "You really want to be friends with someone like him?" Song Xingyan said, "Who said I want to be friends with him? I'm going to woo him and make him my boyfriend." Zhou Chong overheard and blushed silently. In his previous life, Zhou Chong had hidden many secrets from Song Xingyan. The most important one was that he'd already been in love with him for years before their first meeting, as Song Xingyan remembered it. He wanted to possess him, to mark everything that belonged to him, just as a puppy wore a dog tag. He wanted to put a mark on Song Xingyan, too, right on his heart. My Ancestor Gave Me His Throne: Love-at-first-sight, fatherly top x a scheming, playful bottom who acts like a fool As a puppet emperor, Xie Jin was destined to take the blame for his country's fall. The regent's tyranny sparked a rebellion, but Xie Jin was the one who took responsibility, ending up hanged from the city gate as people cursed and condemned him. Just when he thought his absurd life was finally over, he blinked and became a free young man in the twenty-first century. At last, he no longer had to watch people get beheaded left and right. Thrilled, Xie Jin set out to make money and live a peaceful life. He got by in the entertainment industry on his looks, neither a big success nor a total failure, and had money and freedom. Just as he was about to embrace his new life, a video surfaced online of him drunk, "rewriting history" and calling the descendants of the founding emperor of the Sheng Dynasty a bunch of idiots, while pitying the loser who'd lost the country. The flood of abuse overlapped with his past, and Xie Jin took it in stride, saying, "Now this feels familiar." Just as he was preparing to keep his head down, the Gu family, the most powerful financial dynasty in the capital, came after him for his insults. He never imagined that such a small matter would get him dragged before Gu Jinxiao, head of the Gu family. Xie Jin was about to beg for mercy and admit he'd run his mouth when he looked up. !! Why did this man look so much like the founding emperor, his ancestor, in the portrait? Xie Jin stood before him, shaking like a leaf. He couldn't afford to offend this man in the first place, and now he looked like his ancestor, too. Even more frightened, he said, "Mr. Gu, I wasn't insulting you." Gu Jinxiao looked down at him, radiating imperial authority. "Is that so? Then tell me, in what way are my descendants a bunch of idiots?" At those words, Xie Jin felt the sky come crashing down. What do you do when your insults reach the person you were insulting? And he's really your ancestor, too. Xie Jin clung to his leg and begged in the manner of a low-class entertainer. "...Great-grandpa, please spare me." As the man in charge of the capital's business empire, Gu Jinxiao was known for his composure. Nothing and no one could stir a ripple in his heart. That is, until he happened to see the young actor named Xie Jin. In the video, his tipsy gaze and flushed cheeks both stirred Gu Jinxiao's intense interest. When he learned what Xie Jin had said, he immediately had an excuse to send someone to bring him in. Watching the young man timidly call him "Great-grandpa," he felt reluctant to let their relationship become tainted, but this was the only way to get closer. They were more than ten years apart in age. What kind of thing was it to have Xie Jin call him "Great-grandpa" in front of the servants every day? Everyone else: "Mr. Gu, you clearly love it..." Rumors spread that Mr. Gu had taken in a young male celebrity, giving him a ridiculous name at home and letting him get away with anything. People scoffed. He was just a toy Mr. Gu had picked up on a whim. Before long, Gu Jinxiao would get bored and toss him out. But they waited and waited, only to see Gu Jinxiao throw Xie Jin an extravagant birthday party. The young man showed no fear at all. Instead, he glared at Gu Jinxiao. The Mr. Gu they knew had really lowered himself to apologize to a pretty face like that! Two years later, something big was about to happen in the Gu family, and everyone rubbed their hands together, eager to see Xie Jin make a fool of himself. Instead, they heard that Xie Jin had taken the head of the family position. The entire business empire had changed hands just like that? Xie Jin was just as shocked. Wrapped in a blanket and leaning against Gu Jinxiao, he asked, "You're really giving it to me?" "You can't sit on the emperor's throne, but I can give you the head of the family position!"
