When Li Hua opened her eyes again, she discovered she had become that very same villainess. Shen Yuwei. The woman destined to lose everything. The woman who would eventually be divorced and abandoned by everyone. Faced with her tragic future, Shen Yuwei only had one wish. To live peacefully. To avoid provoking the heroine.

The family that once tolerated her begins to adore her. The entertainment industry becomes curious about her transformation.

The true villain was never the villainess. --- "I already have a husband." "So why would I chase another man's love?"

In village, tradition isn't always tradition. Sometimes, it's an excuse for cruelty. Seventeen-year-old Jeon Jungkook has spent his entire life learning one simple rule: You don't question the village. Except Jungkook used to. He spoke when something was wrong. He stood up for people who couldn't stand up for themselves. He questioned the traditions everyone else blindly accepted. Until one day, he learned what happens when you refuse to stay silent. After that, Jungkook stopped fighting. Not because he stopped caring. Because sometimes, when things hurt for too long, you simply become numb. So when his family decides that he will marry a man old enough to be his grandfather, Jungkook doesn't fight back, he couldn't. There is nothing he can do. Or at least, that's what everyone tells him. Until Kim Taehyung sees what is happening. Twenty-one, stubborn, and unwilling to accept the way Jungkook is being treated, Taehyung makes a decision that changes both their lives. But saving Jungkook from one nightmare doesn't mean everything suddenly becomes easy. Because marriage is only the beginning. As Taehyung slowly introduces Jungkook to a world beyond the life he has always known-education, friendship, freedom, and choices-Jungkook begins to discover something he had almost forgotten: He is allowed to have a life of his own. And perhaps, this time, someone will stay long enough to show him that kindness doesn't always come with a price. Note: There will be no core intimacy between taekook ,except hugs or head pecks, until kook turns 21 that too with both of theirs consent. #boy×boy(no femboy concept) (both are having male parts) #No smut #Happy ending #socialissues #awareness #charactergrowth #slowburn #nonexplicit #clean Petals, this is my first book and English is not my first language.
