Translator’s Summary 

Xiao Yu was a beta turned omega, who loved an Alpha named Qu Shi with all his heart and soul, offering his body in exchange for his warmth. This love, however, was exploited by Qu Shi as his greatest weapon to trample him. The moment Xiao Yu lost everything because of this harboured feelings, he broke himself free from the chain that bound him, after all, there was only so much he could take before his entirety slowly shrivelled to dust.

 

Gentle, and strong black belly gong x sensitive, and sickly with inferiority complex shou

  1. This sounds angsty as f*ck, I’m guessing the gong is Qu Shi? Damn, will I get out of this in one piece?

  2. Inferiority complex? I’m in. I love seeing MC’s depressed, doubting themselves and feeling inferior, that makes us so similar to each other! 😀

    Also it seems angsty af and i’m not usually into this, but if it’s HE then why not?Ty to the translator/team for bringing us thus novel!💜💜💜

  3. Angst?? Why would I go around hurtin my heart myself? secretly plans to read at night alone for a bawling session

    Thanks for translating!

    • Hello, I took liberties in translating this novel and as stated, it isn’t exactly a reliable reference for re-translation. I would suggest translating directly from the raws instead, and giving proper credit to the author would be enough.

  4. The gong is Qi Shu? From the description, it doesn’t seem like it. I hope it’s someone else… crosses fingers

  5. i have avoided this novel since the beginning… i have now arrived with a hopefully prepared strong mental to read this amount of angst. wish me luck

  6. Hello, Dear. I’m sorry if I disturb you. But I’m still asking for your permission to re-translate this novel into my language. I hope you would give a permission. <3

  7. After reading all the chapters… I came back here to see the tags … I was praying for it to be happy ending and it is ….. amazing job translator ….

    I cried and had a full ride of emotional roller coaster… but I still loved it …❤❤

  8. read it all in one night, broke my heart and mended it all in one, was really super angsty and good at the same time

  9. This is a powerful novel. It is not for the faint hearted but I guarantee you will love the story ….. in the end. Also be prepared to cry, get mad and curse a lot.

  10. Hello, can I have your permission to translate your translation into Indonesian language? I will give the proper credit both from raw and yours. Thank you~

  11. This is a short story, but I cried a lot because of it. i love it tho. the ending sure is good and what i really wanted… but i do have some lingering sadness. anyway what a good read. thanks for this! 😘😊

  12. When i read this maybe my biggest wish was that ZC will be reborn and save XY from surname q**

    But the ending is indeed fulfilling, no complaints (though i still wish he was reborn)

    Love the translation 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

  13. I’ve been avoiding this for idk how many months, but I’m going to face it today! I really really really want to read this yet afraid of the angst tag. Preparation is over. Wish my heart luck

    (இ﹏இ`。)ง

  14. Very highly recommended.

    The translation quality is great.

    The story 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  15. Ive read this quite sone time ago but it SCARRED me like whenever im looking for new things to read and see this I SHIVER. Its like a ptsd or something haha

  16. This looks promising!! Although I’d like to clarify if it’s fully AB, fully AO because MC became O at the start of the story, or AB turned AO at the middle since TL mentioned MC being a beta-turned-omega? Thanks in advance!

  17. I’m at ch14 and oh pls qu shi doesn’t even deserve a redemption arc this guy needs to stay the hell away from my boy
