Description
Jingzhe is a eunuch. But he’s just a fake eunuch. It’s a secret. Even more troubling is the secret that he hooked up with a palace guard. The guard is beautiful but has a violent temper. Of course, their relationship has a reason behind it. Jing Chen was unlucky to get caught up in a strange system that assigned him impossible tasks. Even worse, if the mission fails, there will be punishment! What’s even more unfortunate is that when he failed for the first time, there was an unlucky guy who was rolled up beside him! But… The unlucky guy looks pretty good. Unfortunately, he has a bad temper. Very bad! * Jingzhe didn’t know if he was dizzy or sick. Why did he cause such trouble for himself? Maybe it’s because he looks good. He is also very beautiful. When he was dragged out of the cold palace and forced to his knees, blood stained his clothes. Someone stepped in the sticky blood and pulled him up. When he raised his head to show his face — The emperor, who looked exactly like the beautiful guard, stared at him expressionlessly. A bloodstained hand stroked the side of his face. “What are you afraid of? The emperor sniffed Jing Chen’s neck, and his damp, cold breath made people shiver. “Don’t you like me?” Jingzhe regretted it. If only he had known… Friend: “If you had known, you wouldn’t have messed around, right?” Jingzhe: “…But he’s so beautiful!” Friend: “You’re hopeless.”

My Thoughts on But He’s Beautiful
"But He’s Beautiful" is definitely a novel that leaves an impression. Diving into this historical yaoi drama, I found myself drawn into a world of complex characters and a plot that isn’t afraid to shy away from the darker aspects of love and life. With a 3.7/5 rating, it's clear that this story isn't universally loved, but I can certainly see why it has a dedicated following.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise of a "clingy lover" and a "cold protagonist" set against the backdrop of ancient China. The tags like "character growth" and "family conflict" hinted at a story with depth, and I was eager to see how the author would weave these elements together. The early chapters pulled me in with their detailed world-building and the clear sense of intrigue surrounding the two main characters.
What Works Well
The character development in "But He’s Beautiful" is a major strength. The male lead, in particular, undergoes a gradual transformation that feels authentic and earned. He's not presented as a perfect character, and his flaws are a direct result of his harsh upbringing. I also appreciated the portrayal of the main character. He's written as pure and innocent, but definitely not dumb. He’s perceptive and intelligent, a refreshing change from some of the more passive MCs I've encountered. The dynamic between the leads is compelling. Their differences are acknowledged and tolerated, with one willing to voice his thoughts and the other willing to listen. This creates a healthy and engaging relationship that feels genuine.

Final Verdict
"But He’s Beautiful" is a novel that challenges conventional tropes and delves into the complexities of human nature. It’s not a light and fluffy read, but it offers a compelling story with well-developed characters and a unique premise. While it may not be for everyone, I believe it's worth a try for those who enjoy character-driven dramas with a touch of darkness.
