the delicious torture

[ON HIATUS] —For those that enjoyed this book, I am very sorry. I simply do not have the ability to write two books simultaneously. I have been suffering from the lack of sleep and it honestly impacted my personal life. After all, I work in the farm in the morning, and I can only write during evening. Because of that, I'm always feeling weak and tired. So for now, I'm putting this book on hold. Thank you for understanding. -------- [Highschool Love: The Pain of Romance] A game so cursed no players have completed it.

Although it was the same life she had previously lived, she now possessed a strong sense of vengeance. *** On a dark and windy night, Lu Xiang rescued the badly injured Chu Jinyan from his would-be assassinators. Lu Xiang's eyes glistened. "Well, well. You're someone from the royal family!" She dragged him to her house and hid him without saying another word. "There's a saying that one ought to offer their body to another after being rescued... Wait a second, I got it wrong. I think you're supposed to return the favor. Since I rescued you today, you have to agree to three of my requests in the future," Lu Xiang said. "Huh?" Chu Jinyan was confused. He hadn’t exactly wanted to be rescued... Later, Chu Jinyan patted his thigh and wagged his finger. "Come here, my beloved consort. You can hug my thighs." *** She's insidious and deceitful, while he's vile and shameless! Stranger A: Does that mean they're a match made in heaven? Stranger B: Yuck! That makes them a despicable couple!
