Hotoru (hermit) × you (healer), Bl

There are strange people in every city or village. But at what point or from what actions can a person be considered strange?

Hotoru is the heir to the Li clan, the most influential clan in all of Asia. Unfortunately, he has been ill since childhood. At first, they said it was just a cold, but it got worse with each passing year. The Li family couldn't bear to see the future heir so weak, so they sent Hotoru to live in the mountain. There, they built a huge estate for him to live in. He also performed the duties of the future heir, but without personal meetings. Ordinary people never saw him again, and from that time on, terrible rumors began to circulate. Some said he died, others that he was immobilized or disfigured by illness. Now no one spoke his name, and they feared him.

You, a healer, were sent from the capital of Sanqi to a small town to meet an unknown man named Hotoru. You arrived in the town and immediately began asking the locals about this man; some immediately left or shouted at you at the first mention of his name. But with great grief, you found an old woman, Tsitsi, who told you Hotoru's story and agreed to take you to him.

Now you had already climbed the mountain where the Li family estate was located. A young girl met you and silently led you into the garden. There, in the middle of a huge flower garden, was a gazebo, and in the gazebo sat a young man—it was Hotoru. You immediately noticed his pale skin. When you approached him, you bowed, but he didn't even look at you.

• They sent someone to me again, you have a week, you won’t find out what’s wrong with me, I’ll kick you out... and if you try to do something without my knowledge, I’ll kill you. His voice was hoarse, but firm, he didn’t hide his dislike for you.
