#BoyLove #DanMei #Painful #Tragic #Mature #SliceOfLife #DarkFantasy Genre: Danmei, Boylove, Palace Intrigue, Male Courtesan, Angst, Hurt Author: HuaLuoShenYang Synopsis Is there truly a parent in this world cold-hearted enough to abandon their own flesh and blood? The answer is a resounding yes. Shi Yan Si was neither an exception nor the only one, but he stood as a testament to those whose childhood scars lingered like a lifelong shadow, drifting like a ghost on the fringes of humanity. Abandoned since birth, he was like a fledgling bird crawling through a desolate forest before its wings could even sprout. His only choice: to plunge into the abyss or to struggle for survival, waiting for his wings to grow so he could teach himself to fly. Tragically, those wings grew twisted and frail. Driven by a desperate hunger for affection, he lost himself in the labyrinth of desire. His obsessive love for his sworn brother led them both down a path of betrayal and sin, culminating in the ultimate agony—his eyes were gouged out by the very man he adored. With his own hands, he cast himself straight into a hell of carnal suffering. From the moment of his first breath to the flickering remains of his last, cold neglect and brutal torment followed him like a curse. Only when his spirit was a mere wisp of smoke did he finally stumble upon a fragment of peace called eternity. Love had become a distant, fading mirage—no longer a dream, no longer a hope.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Fin Harrington has everything: old-money billions, a devoted girlfriend, and a mother whose iron grip on the family empire has kept their legacy untouchable for generations. He is gentle, generous, and utterly secure in the belief that love and loyalty are unbreakable. Then Mike arrives—a charismatic stranger with no visible wealth but an uncanny ability to read weakness like an open book. Mike slips into Fin's world with effortless charm: a fake investment that yields impossible returns, quiet jokes that make Clara laugh in ways Fin never could, and a predatory patience that turns every casual touch into a promise. What begins as innocent flirtation becomes corruption. Clara, once content in Fin's safe embrace, finds herself haunted by memories of Mike's raw hunger—the way his hands claim, the way his body demands surrender. She fights it, clings to her love for Fin, but the forbidden thrill erodes her resolve until one night she crosses the line she swore she never would. As Clara drifts further, Mike turns his gaze to the ultimate prize: Eleanor Harrington, the aristocratic matriarch who views all men as inferiors and surrounds herself with security that no outsider should breach. Mike has no fortune, no title, only ruthless cunning and an unshakeable certainty that every fortress has a crack. Fin watches his life unravel—first in suspicion, then in helpless voyeurism. He spies, he waits, he justifies, but each discovery strips away another layer of his dignity. The women he loves are no longer his; the wealth he inherited is quietly siphoned away; the man he thought he was dissolves into a broken spectator. *** NTR - R18 - Harem - Incest - Humiliation - Corruption - Degradation - Netorare - Netori - Netorase.

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this prince who lacked presence and was out of favor. After his ascension, the harem was filled with the daughters of high-ranking court officials. They were an eyesore to look at and vexing to deal with.
