The Hated Beta Is a Gloomy Beauty

Wallflower | mpreg | pursuit-and-regret | daddy | running away while pregnant To survive at this aristocratic academy, where people live in decadence and power rules, you have to make yourself useful to the right people. Lin Shujin, despised by everyone, understands this. So he uses his beauty to maneuver among several wolves in human form. The alphas take what they want from him, while he uses their power to satisfy his ambition and vanity. Fortunately, Lin Shujin is naturally slow to form emotional attachments, so he can quickly accept the alphas' various twisted tastes as they come: In the empty art studio, someone dots his skin with paintbrushes like fleeting flowers. In a dim bedroom, silver chains ring out one after another. Figures move beneath the water in a private outdoor pool. Behind the curtain of a fitting room, fabric rustles against fabric. Lin Shujin thought he could keep things as they were with the alphas. But one day, he discovered that they wanted more than his body. They wanted his heart, too. "Lin Shujin, do I have to dig out your heart before you'll give me even a little love?" 1. Angst warning: the bottom's heart is truly dark. He's an evil man who gets his comeuppance from other evil men. 2. Not a pick-your-favorite story. Extreme bottom worship. 3. All of this is the author's vulgar personal taste. Read at your own risk. 4. Includes a side couple. Theme: New life comes to withered wood.
