Beautiful, Tragic, Toxic, and Hated by All

A cripple came to Zixiao Sect to demand marriage. He was a mere mortal, and a cripple at that. Aside from being pretty and good-natured, he had nothing going for him. And a man like that actually dared to covet their senior brother. It was pure wishful thinking. Everyone was waiting for the day that cripple would be thrown out. [Two-faced, malicious sub x outwardly cold, inwardly warm prodigy dom] [Reading Guide] The sub is the only confirmed protagonist of this story. A dog-blooded story where someone who's supposedly disliked by everyone is actually loved by everyone. Includes humiliation and pursuit scenes. Warning: the dom will have to suffer to win his love. The sub suffers early on; the dom suffers later. Multiple doms have one-sided feelings for the sub. The sub has a flawed personality. Readers with an uncompromising moral stance should proceed with caution. There will be setbacks and antagonists. Readers who are extremely particular about their favorite characters should proceed with caution. A bittersweet, dog-blooded story about someone who's supposedly disliked by everyone. If you have a lot of triggers, proceed with caution. All the doms will fall for the protagonist. The only differences are when it happens and whether they realize it. All the doms are chaste. Anyone who isn't chaste isn't a dom. A long novel with a clear growth arc for the protagonist. No secondary couples, focused on the sub. To reiterate, there are no romantic undertones between the doms in this novel. (This might be a bit of a spoiler, but I want to clarify: one thinks the dom described in the blurb is worthy of his status, but is more jealous than anything else, and wants to casually sever the other man's tendons during a fight. Another thinks he is in love, but plants a flower that symbolizes love in the story, and the flower would rather wither like a weed than bloom.) If that bothers you, feel free to pick another book. If you feel uncomfortable while reading, I'm sorry. Please don't force yourself. I hope you find a novel you like. There's also another book next door, "Please Don't Fall in Love at First Sight with Someone Everyone Loves", S0M1. If that's your thing, give it a try. Finally, happy reading!
