First Encounter on the Desert: Taken Home by the Western Regions Tyrant

[Slightly Coquettish Beauty (Bottom) × Brooding, Taciturn Top (Top)] – A slow-burn, gentle romance.

Xi Yu had lived eighteen years in the cold palace. At last, he set it ablaze—burning that shadow of a life to the ground—and walked west without looking back.

From that day on, the little prince ceased to exist. Only Jiangnan scholar Xi Yu remained.

In a remote border town, Xi Yu was held up by a camel. Next door lived a burly Western Regions blacksmith—tall, silent, covered in old scars. After dousing himself with cold water, he sat down beside Xi Yu and asked: “What are you waiting for here?”

Xi Yu said: “Waiting for a camel.”

The man said: “I’m heading west too. Let’s go together.”

Xi Yu agreed with a curve of his eyes, thinking to himself: This man is suspicious—perfect chance to probe him on the road.

What Xi Yu didn’t know was that the other man’s thoughts were even simpler—This person is special (heart racing)… I want him.

What Xi Yu also didn’t know: beyond this small town, heading west, every oasis and every city was already in the palm of this man’s hand.

He had longed for freedom for eighteen years—yet rode his camel straight into someone else’s territory, straight into someone else’s web. And there, he found both freedom and warmth.

Que Zhi: “My wife is beautiful, gentle, courageous, dignified, and clear-hearted… There is no one who wouldn’t like you. I am grateful that I became the one you hold in special regard.”

Xi Yu: “You—don’t praise me like that. I’m not nearly as wonderful as you say…”  ??????
