Lin Li quickly regained consciousness.
Seeing Lin Xuan sitting calmly on the sofa, his eyes widened in shock. "Lin Xuan, didn’t I drug you? How are you still sitting there unharmed?"
Lin Xuan scoffed. "Lin Li, are you joking? Even if I had been drugged, my subordinates would have come to my rescue. There’s no way you could’ve succeeded. Besides, I wasn’t drugged at all."
"How is that possible?" Lin Li’s voice trembled with disbelief. "I put the drug in your wine—I saw you drink it with my own eyes!"
"That’s because I had an antidote," Lin Xuan replied, a smirk playing on his lips. "I mixed it into the wine beforehand. Naturally, nothing happened."
"An antidote? The seller told me there was no antidote for that aphrodisiac!" Lin Li shook his head, refusing to accept the truth.
"Lin Li, don’t forget—I have exceptional medical skills. Neutralizing a simple aphrodisiac is hardly a challenge for me," Lin Xuan said leisurely.
"Lin Xuan!" Lin Li’s eyes burned with fury, veins bulging in his bloodshot gaze. "I hate this—I hate that you slipped through my fingers again!"
He had meticulously planned everything, convinced of his victory the moment Lin Xuan drank the wine.
Yet here he was—captured by Lin Xuan, while the other man remained untouched.
"Lin Xuan, when did you figure out who I was?" Lin Li ground out through clenched teeth.
He had gone to great lengths to disguise himself—adding a mole at the corner of his eye, changing his hairstyle, even wearing a mask.
He thought his disguise was flawless. But somehow, Lin Xuan and his men had seen through it.
Lin Xuan answered coolly, "I knew the moment you poured the wine."
Lin Li must have been in the private room earlier, but Lin Xuan hadn’t noticed him—until then.
"So early?!" Lin Li seethed. Then, realization dawned. "I see. You knew my identity all along and played along, letting me think my plan was working, just to lure me here, didn’t you?"
Lin Xuan nodded approvingly. "Exactly. You’re smarter than I thought, Lin Li."
Lin Li let out a bitter, mocking laugh.
"To think I still lost to you in the end."
But he refused to accept it.
Back in the Lin family, he had always won against Lin Xuan.
All he had to do was shed a few tears, act pitiful, and their parents and three sisters would immediately side with him.
At first, Lin Xuan had resisted. But eventually, he stopped fighting back, knowing he couldn’t win.
So why had everything changed after Lin Xuan left the family?
This wasn’t how things were supposed to be.
In his dreams, Lin Xuan had never met Su Hua. His wedding with Qin Ruoyao had never been canceled.
After their marriage, Qin Ruoyao had refused to let Lin Xuan touch her—instead, she became Lin Li’s secret lover.
Lin Xuan had been completely under his control.
That dream had felt so real, as if he had lived it.
But when he woke up and reached down, only to find himself castrated, he realized—it was just a dream.
Reality was the exact opposite.
How many times had he wished things would unfold like in his dream?
"Lin Li."
Lin Xuan stepped closer, intending to crouch beside him—but then recoiled at the foul stench of the sock stuffed in Lin Li’s mouth.
Disgust twisted his features.
"Cheng Er, take this damn sock away."
"Yes, sir."
Cheng Er grimaced at the sight of the sock, now soaked with Lin Li’s saliva.
He hurried to the bathroom, grabbed a towel, and used it to pick up and discard the revolting thing.
Lin Xuan finally crouched in front of Lin Li, tapping his cheek with the cold blade of a knife.
"Lin Li, you’ve fallen into my hands again."
"Why can’t you just behave? Did you really have to come begging for punishment?"
A cruel smile curled on Lin Xuan’s lips.
Since Lin Li had delivered himself willingly, he had no one to blame for what came next.
Lin Li’s heart pounded at the sight of that smile.
What was Lin Xuan planning?
Memories of past torment resurfaced, and fear coiled in his gut.
"Lin Xuan… what are you going to do to me?" he asked, swallowing hard.
"Nothing much," Lin Xuan replied, his tone deceptively light. "Just returning the favor."
"You wanted those two men to have their way with me, didn’t you? How about I let them have their way with you instead?"
"Since you’re already a eunuch, life must be pretty frustrating without that part of you. So today, I’ll open up a whole new world for you—show you another way to satisfy your urges."
Perfect. Lin Li could play the bottom.
An eye for an eye.
It must have been a long time since Lin Li had experienced any kind of pleasure.
Well, today, he’d get a thorough reminder.
Call him a living saint.
Lin Li’s eyes bulged in horror.
Another way to satisfy his urges?
Did Lin Xuan mean…?
Realization struck, and terror surged through him.
No. He couldn’t let those disgusting men touch him!
He was a man! A man!
How could he possibly… with two other men?!
"Brother!" Lin Li’s voice cracked with desperation.
Bound hand and foot, he couldn’t kneel and beg. All he could do was stare pleadingly at Lin Xuan.
"Brother, I was wrong! I’ll stay far away from you from now on—I’ll cross the street if I see you! I’ll never try to hurt you again! Please, just let me go!"
But beneath the surface, his eyes simmered with malice.
Let Lin Xuan off the hook?
Never.
They were mortal enemies. This surrender was just a temporary act.
If he ever got another chance, he’d destroy Lin Xuan without hesitation.
He loved the feeling of crushing Lin Xuan beneath his heel.
And after everything he’d suffered, how could he not seek revenge?
Lin Xuan pressed the cold knife harder against Lin Li’s cheek.
"Oh? Finally scared, Lin Li?"
"But I know you too well. You’re only pretending to submit. In your heart, you’re probably cursing me right now."
"No, I’m not!" Lin Li denied frantically. "Brother, every time I’ve tried to hurt you, I’ve failed. I know my limits now. I’ve truly learned my lesson!"
"Don’t call me brother!"
Lin Xuan’s expression turned icy.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
