Does the Straight-Laced Heir Have to Be on the Bottom Too?

□□ | Dubious noncon | Ambitious cross-dressing top | Honest, unambitious, lazy heir bottom vs. ambitious, dark, vicious flower top. Both are each other's only partner.

Xie Zhaorong is a noble of the highest blood, the only son for three generations, and the sole heir to the prince's estate. Before his mother passed away, she arranged a marriage for him, promising him to a daughter of the Tan family.

He hears that the Tan family's daughter is incurably ill and keeps to herself. She probably doesn't have long to live. His friends all urge him to break off the engagement while he can, so he won't end up bringing a sick woman home.

But the young lord Xie is lazy by nature and has no ambition. Most of all, he doesn't want a formidable wife who'll keep him in line. His fiancee is sickly? He slaps his thigh and says, "I'll marry her! I have to! Right away!"

Becoming a widower is a wonderful opportunity, and Xie Zhaorong absolutely has to take it.

But his hard-won bride...

Why is she so tall?

Why does she have an Adam's apple?

Wait, why is she bigger than him down there...

Their wedding night turns into a night of terror. Xie Zhaorong tries to flee in fear, but his "wife" grabs him by the ankle and slowly drags him back. The beautiful bride, wearing a pearl hairpin and a wedding dress, ties his hands together, then kisses his earlobe unhurriedly and murmurs, "Young lord, since you were so eager to marry me, I'll satisfy you little by little, little by little, with all the rites of marriage and the pleasures of the bridal chamber."

On the surface, Xie Zhaorong is lucky to have married a beautiful, virtuous wife.

But behind closed doors, she toys with him as she pleases.

"Your Highness, they dared to send women again today. I've killed them all, and tossed their bodies into the river to feed the fish. You won't blame me, will you?"

"Your Highness, looking so unsatisfied, do you think you can satisfy them?"

Xie Zhaorong's cheeks flush red as tears well in his eyes. "Xuan Li, don't say that. I'll do whatever you say, whatever you say."

The man's dark expression vanishes in an instant. In a good mood, he kisses Xie Zhaorong's fingertips. "Your Highness is always left wanting. I'll have to treat you properly."

[Warnings: The main story is essentially about a big-hearted, straight man with a bit of a mean streak who tries to seduce someone, gets in over his head, and is thoroughly dominated. The top cross-dresses at first, but not by choice. He's not an androgynous beauty, but a dark, ambitious schemer with distinctly masculine features, a truly iron-blooded man.]
