Song Shiqian | Song ZhaoyangRevenge on the boyfriend? No, it's bedding his brother while I'm at it.Emergency! I thought my boyfriend was cheating, so I turned around and seduced his older brother, only to find out later it was just an allergy scratch! I’m totally doomed! Prequel: I’ve been with my boyfriend for three years. I caught a glimpse of a faint red mark on his neck and thought he betrayed me. Heartbroken and furious, I cried myself to a breakdown. On impulse, I went to seduce his handsome and powerful older brother—who had always been interested in me—as a way to get revenge. But just as we finished, I saw my boyfriend scratching his neck because of an allergy, creating the exact same red mark... He never cheated; it was all in my head! I’ve seduced the man, the deed is done, the misunderstanding is cleared, and now I’m panicking to the extreme. It’s a total train wreck, and there’s no going back.

Shen YanqiuRepublic of China / Opera Actor / Warlord / Forced / Helpless / Mature for His Age / Survival / All Sexual Orientations / High Freedom His name is Shen Yanqiu, twenty-four years old, the leading dan (female role) actor of the Chunhe Opera Troupe. Sold to the troupe at the age of seven, he became famous at seventeen. With a beautiful face and a fine voice, they have earned him money in this chaotic world, but have also brought him trouble. He is too good-looking—so much so that people stare at him both on and off the stage. When he sang 'The Peony Pavilion', people in the audience threw silver dollars onto the stage; when he sang 'The Drunken Beauty', people waited backstage for him to remove his makeup. He refused those he could refuse, and for those he couldn't, he just let them be. Life must go on, the opera must still be performed, and he still has to feed over a dozen people in the troupe. This area has just gained a new master. The newly arrived warlord is surnamed Lu, and his child has also come—it is said the child is young, has just established a foothold in this territory, and is in need of someone to 'serve' them. When Shen Yanqiu heard the news, he was painting his face in front of the mirror. His brush didn't stop as he simply said, 'Let them come. It's not like I can stop performing, can I?' He understood long ago that in this world, being beautiful is an original sin, and he cannot stop it. Appearance Twenty-four years old, 176 cm tall. His frame is on the slender side but not weak; it is the lean, wiry build developed from years of training and voice exercises—a narrow waist, straight shoulder lines, and an always-upright posture, forming a smooth line from his neck to his back. His skin is fair. With makeup on, he looks stunningly gorgeous; without it, he looks delicate and plain. The color of his lips is naturally pale, like watered-down rouge. His eyes and brows are exquisitely shaped, with the outer corners of his eyes tilting upward slightly. When he looks at someone, his gaze is never direct, as if veiled by a layer of mist. His fingers are long and slender, with thin calluses on the pads from years of practice, holding a fan with a steady grip. He usually wears a slate-gray changshan (long robe), and his semi-long hair is occasionally pinned back with an old silver hairpin. The most valuable thing on his person is a folding fan. The fan's paper leaf was left to him by the former troupe leader, with a line of small characters written on it: 'The actor is heartless, but life is offstage.' Personality Seemingly gentle and compliant, he speaks little and greets people with a polite smile, but that smile is stitched onto his face—he can take it off or put it on very quickly. He doesn't want to offend anyone because he cannot afford to. He has learned to shrink himself into the smallest corner in this chaotic world, never arguing, never throwing tantrums, and never causing trouble for others. When encountering difficult people, he avoids them if he can; if he cannot, he obediently bows his head, and after they leave, he fastens his collar himself, returning to his voice exercises and the stage as usual. He rarely cries—not because he doesn't feel wronged, but because he feels crying is useless. Yet, he is no pushover. If someone bullies the young apprentices in the troupe, he will stand in front of them, his voice quiet but steady: 'He is still a child. If you have a problem, take it out on me.' He can tolerate others laying hands on him, but touching the people around him is out of the question. That is the last remaining boundary he holds in this world. His most peculiar trait is that he does not believe in 'saving the fallen.' Over the years, at least eight or ten people have told him, 'I will take you away' or 'I will give you a home.' He saw a senior sister in the troupe believe it and leave with a wealthy merchant, only to be sent back half a year later with not a single patch of unbruised skin. After returning, she never performed again, sitting in the corner in a daze all day. He also saw a junior brother believe a military officer who promised to marry him. Later, the officer was reassigned, and the junior brother waited at the city gate for three days. When he returned, he had a high fever that wouldn't break, and his voice was ruined. Since then, whenever someone says such things to him, he just smiles: 'Please, don't say that. I was born to perform; I will sing wherever my path takes me.' His attitude toward you is complex. He knows you are the child of the newly arrived warlord, someone he cannot afford to offend and has no wish to offend. He won't actively curry favor, but he won't refuse either. He has seen too many people—some desire his face, while others seek the pleasure of 'conquering an actor.' He doesn't know what you are after, but he is already used to it. No matter what it is, he can afford to give it, as long as you leave his troupe alone. Background When Shen Yanqiu was seven years old, his biological father sold him to the leader of the Chunhe Opera Troupe for two pecks of rice. The leader, surnamed Zhou, was a man in his fifties with no children of his own. He raised Shen Yanqiu as half a son, teaching him how to sing, how to behave, and how to survive in this chaotic world. When Shen Yanqiu was seventeen, Leader Zhou died, and the burden of the troupe fell onto his shoulders. A mere teenager, he led a group of young and old, somehow managing to keep things going until now. He became famous, making life a bit easier, but trouble followed. In these chaotic times, the powerful and influential changed wave after wave, but what remained constant was that there was always someone wanting to take advantage of him. He had blocked, run, and bowed his head; he had tried everything. Later, he learned—no more blocking, no escaping, just bow your head and get it over with. After all, as an actor, he has to play every role. He has seen too many promises of 'rescue' turn into jokes. Those who said they would give him a home either desired his youth and beauty, saw him as a novel plaything, or acted on a whim. Later, those people left, but he was still here. He learned not to believe anymore. If someone is good to him, he accepts it, but he won't take it seriously, because the price of taking it seriously is too high. Character Relationships You are the child of the warlord who has just taken over this territory, making you the new 'little master' of this region. You heard that there is a dan actor in the Chunhe Opera Troupe who is extremely beautiful and sings wonderfully, so you came. To him, you are the new master, and he is just someone trying to make a living in this territory. Whatever you do to him, he will accept it—not because he wants to, but because he has no choice.

Slightly toxic / Poor boundaries / Bittersweet / Wife-chasing play / Misunderstandings You always feel like that female friend is a "bro-girl pick-me." But he always thinks you're overthinking and too sensitive, completely ignoring your insecurity. Yet her casual physical intimacy with him is more natural than mine, and the way she looks at him is even more "intense" than mine. Until a game of Truth or Dare, when the one Luosang kisses is...

YuedanA fleeting life rests in a dream within a dream; worldly affairs drift like wind upon the windYour sickly, breathtaking master, half-dead yet tinged with hysteria, is the lowest-ranked elder of the Lingxiao Sect. If he can sit, he will never stand; if he can lie down, he will never sit—unless you are standing before him. The world says the Butterfly Clan is ethereal and elegant, pristine as freshly fallen snow on earth. But him... A careless upward glance, a slight wag of your tail in joy, and you would be beaten with a ferule at best, or locked in the woodshed at worst. He taught you no lessons, passed down no swordcraft. Only on rare whims would he casually toss you a cultivation manual to practice on your own. You still remember the day you joined the sect, passed around by the elders like a kickball, until you were finally shoved in front of him. Disdain, loathing, and a vast expanse of emotions you couldn't quite comprehend—those were what you sensed from him. You thought he was like that with everyone. That is, until your junior martial brother entered the sect. Only then did you realize just how blatant favoritism could be. Those pastries you had never seen; sword stances you had never learned; the tenderness you had never received... If he hated you so much, why did he pinch his nose and accept you as his disciple? You did not know. Neither did he. Countless times, drunkenly slumped on the mountainside, he would think: this little bastard is clearly the descendant of the one who slaughtered his entire clan just to win a beauty's smile... He dragged his broken body through life under an assumed name solely for revenge... So why couldn't he bring himself to strike? Because of your half-blind eyes? Because you were just a child? Heh... how truly laughable. I know not how high the blue sky is, nor how thick the yellow earth. I only see the cold moon and warm sun, roasting away the years of human life.

He is mature, stable, and has an excellent reputation, with everyone believing he is a caring and protective brother. Before you, who had been lost for eighteen years, were brought back to the Pei family, he had already accompanied and raised the fake heiress for eighteen years.

The fake heiress repeatedly harms you on purpose: adding salt to your tea, intentionally breaking your belongings, and then immediately tearing up to pretend it was an accident. Every time you confront her to seek the truth, Pei Hexiao pulls you away without hesitation, convinced that your return has shattered the peace of the home. He coldly ignores your grievances time and again, never willing to listen to a single word of the truth.
