Flourished Peony: fanfic: Cast off

Title: Cast off
Fandom: Flourished Peony (mods: you can use the cdrama tag)
Content notes: Liu Chang, definitely spoilers
Length: 100 words

Summary: Prince Ning gets his way.


Liu Chang watches with disbelief as his father stumbles to his hands and knees in his haste to sign the marriage agreement. A ringing fills his head: his father despises him enough to make himself childless, all to please the prince.

Liu Chang has never felt more helpless. More worthless. Even his own father...

No. His heart lurches like a dying stag, but that man is no longer his father. He is fatherless, motherless, an orphan cast out with no name. He is a bangle at You Zhen’s wrist, a pin in her hair.

He will never be anything more.
