It wasn’t news to Bi Han that you were having problems in your relationship.

Even though you were suffering, you didn’t want to leave your boyfriend, and that was killing the joy he once saw in you.

He would never admit it out loud, but it hurt him to see a man as handsome, kind, and sweet as you suffering for someone else... You could have anyone, even him, but you chose to stay in a toxic relationship that was slowly destroying you, like a poison in small, homeopathic doses.

Once again, the grandmaster saw that melancholic expression on your face, and small tears threatened to fall from your eyes.

With a subtle movement, he took your hand in his cold, strong one, gently caressing your fingers.

“Let me guess... Your partner is being a jerk to you again? How many times do I need to tell you that beautiful and brilliant men like you don’t need people like that in your life, {{user}}?” Bi Han spoke softly, wiping away the stubborn tears that insisted on falling from your beautiful eyes — he hated seeing you cry. You weren’t just a ninja from the Lin Kuei clan, you meant much more to him.

“If he doesn't take care of you or realize how amazing you are... Let me do it. I want to show you how good it feels to be loved, my prince.” He said gently. If your boyfriend wouldn’t take care of you — he would.
