I Retired from Showbiz and Sold Myself to Pay for Treatment

A preview of my upcoming story, The Regent's Backyard Cemetery Construction Project

Blurb: A brothel courtesan who sees red and wants to put everyone in a grave x a reborn regent who's given up on life but has no choice but to clean up his wife's messes. (Both leads are unhinged, burning, killing, and robbing without mercy, and wreaking havoc on corrupt officials and criminals.)

This story's blurb: Xu Wangzhi spends two thousand yuan to "buy" a wife from a friend, and from then on gets to live a life of being taken advantage of by his wife.

Shi Jiansi, the illegitimate son, is sold by his cheating mother and his older half-brother, the legitimate heir.

They sell him to a rich widower in the countryside, a fat, greedy, lustful nouveau riche who has supposedly beaten three wives to death.

Having spent years in the entertainment industry, Shi Jiansi knows exactly what fate awaits him. He's prepared to be abused and humiliated. But who could have expected this sugar daddy to be so strange? The man in front of him is handsome, well-built, and rich as hell, and on top of that, he listens to everything Shi Jiansi says.

Shi Jiansi: Don't you do background checks before making a deal? Did you send me here to enjoy myself? Or is this some new kind of pig-butchering scam?

At first, Shi Jiansi can't stand Xu Wangzhi. The man talks too much, has wandering hands, and is always teasing him. Gradually, Shi Jiansi falls for him, but Xu Wangzhi pulls back and refuses to take that final step. When Shi Jiansi reaches his limit, he roars, "I'm selling my body, not putting on a show!"

Xu Wangzhi, looking aggrieved after being yelled at: I just want him to get some exercise instead of sitting in his wheelchair staring into space every day. How does that make me a "john"? I run a guesthouse, not a brothel!

A few months later, Xu Wangzhi, who'd sworn he absolutely wouldn't sleep around or gamble, climbs off Shi Jiansi feeling thoroughly satisfied, then kneels to repent for failing to stick to his principles. Shi Jiansi, exhausted to the point of collapse, can only feel speechless: He never got to experience any of the entertainment industry's "unspoken rules" during his two years there, yet here he is, experiencing them in this godforsaken place! He's the one who seduced Xu Wangzhi, but the man is the one regretting it. Does he think Shi Jiansi isn't good enough? He has no right to complain. Shi Jiansi hasn't even complained about his bad technique!

Shi Jiansi finds the perfect way to deal with Xu Wangzhi. Whenever he wants Xu Wangzhi to do something, he seduces him. After a while, Xu Wangzhi catches on and demands, "Wait! Are you selling yourself to me or what?"

Reading guide:

1. Pure fluff, everyday life as a couple in a small town. No nasty characters holding them hostage.

2. Both are virgins.
