Bitter Candy Box

A collection of sweet-and-sour short stories about pure love. The bottom is stronger than the top, and the bottom dotes on the top:

Story One: The Cultivating Rabbit Demon

Xiao Bai, a rabbit demon, meets the Heavenly Master Lu Shen. He thinks he has found salvation, never realizing their first encounter was a trap and that the man's tenderness was bait.

Only after he dissolves into smoke does he learn he was nothing but a substitute.

Later, the Heavenly Master goes mad, burning a thousand years of cultivation to cross the Three Realms, all to find one rabbit.

An innocent rabbit spirit top, with a bad ending with the Heavenly Master bottom, then a happy ending with a War God bottom.

Story Two: The Aristocratic Rose

The young master of the Sheng family is a rose adored by all. He thinks the Huo family's heir is looking out for him because he is the one and only. But the other's thoughts have always been occupied by the name of his illegitimate younger brother.

With red-rimmed eyes, he throws down the gift, only to stumble into another man's arms.

Later, the Huo heir regrets it to the point of heartbreak, but can only watch helplessly as the young master grows intimate with someone else.

A delicate young master, a little rose top, with a bad ending with the heir bottom, then a happy ending with a CEO bottom.

Story Three: Flames of War in a Chaotic Era

Su Yansheng was raised in the sheltered chambers of a respectable family. Bound by a marriage contract, he married into the Jiang family, only to be met with his husband's brutality on their wedding night and his unexplained departure the next day.

The flames of war consume the Jiang residence, and he struggles to make a living with his younger brother-in-law.

The young man promises, "Brother Sheng, I'll take care of you from now on."

He never expected his former husband to return as a warlord, bringing a new lover with him, and demand that he come back to the estate.

But his younger brother-in-law clasps his hand tightly. "Jiang Xubai, you've long since lost the right to stand by his side."

A refined young gentleman from the Republican era as the top, with a bad ending with the ex-husband bottom, then a happy ending with another bottom.
