=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

Dear readers! Without any ads, maybe you will prefer .

I belong to a good sect that has never turned its back on me for my poor potential, has never forced me to study martial arts, and even helped arrange a betrothal for me when I was young.

My fiancée is a much renowned hot-tempered young miss. She’s beautiful, strong, and deeply loves me. Upon my start down the path of the Jianghu, I entirely relied on her to provide cover for me and before long, I became renowned as the #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path.

Yet one day, I discovered that this person is apparently a man. A man in drag!

More unforgivable is that he thought I was a woman dressing as a man!

Me, as if my liver and guts are being cut to pieces: “Brother, what have you done with my fiancée?”

Him, as if a knife has been twisted in his heart: “Brother, what have *you* done with my fiancée?”

The waters of the Jianghu are indeed murky. Even if I am starving, even if I’m dying far from home, from this point on, I will not eat even a mouthful of rice prepared by him.

—So fragrant.

She wanted love, but he wanted revenge!

“Okay.., Thanks for saving me..”

(I said, and turned around to leave his room)

Mark: “It's better, If You Remove Your Undergarments”..

(A sudden shrill electrified my body when I heard those words. I turn around to look at him. He is just doing his work on his laptop very casually. I didn't respond and turn to reach the door.)

Mark: “Your wound will heal soon, so...”

Anna: “Okay...”

(What I just say?

Did I actually agree to remove my undergarments?

It's embarrassed me.

I just rush out of his room in a hurry, but when I unintentionally imagine his words, my heart starts racing.)

Anna's wish:

I wish to wake up everyday to the feel of your breath on my neck...

The warmth of your lips on my skin...

The sound of your heart beating with mine...

----------

Once, you were my salvation

My light

My peace

Now, you are my prison

My captor

My king

Your once warm eyes,

Are now, cold as ice...

You once took my heart in both hands,

Calling me the finest in all the lands...

But now your stone cold, dagger-like stare,

Makes me want to run away like a startled hare

I’m no pet to be kept,

No exotic beast to be bound...

Even with all this rage against you that I hold,

What am I to do except do as I am told...
