The Beautiful Lady in the Haunted House

The complete story is finished. Thank you to all the dear readers who supported the official release.

Shen Qiaoyun sat in the wedding car, feeling uneasy. He was an orphan, but he was clever, and had earned a place at A University, one of Huaguo's top universities, in the country's commercial center, a place of dazzling prosperity.

The goods in the malls were luxurious and exquisite, a dazzling array glittering with every color. The vanity and desires in Shen Qiaoyun's heart gradually swelled. He loved buying beautiful, expensive jewelry and clothes. He dressed himself up beautifully, pretending to be a rich young master.

But he had no money. One overdue credit card notice after another came in, and just when he was at the end of his rope, the genuine rich heiress in his class found him. She offered him a card containing ten million, his bride price, on one condition: he had to pretend to be a bride and marry a sick man.

"You look a little like me. I'll give you the bride price my family gave me, and you'll marry him in my place." To fit the role, Shen Qiaoyun grew his hair long.

The scenery outside the wedding car gradually turned lush and green, utterly unlike the city's steel-and-concrete forest. "Rich people all live in villas halfway up the mountain, I guess," Shen Qiaoyun muttered.

Since the groom was ill, Shen Qiaoyun went through the entire ceremony with only the officiant. He did whatever the officiant told him.

Shen Qiaoyun found it strange. All the wedding guests were expressionless, and barely spoke to one another. The only sounds in the entire venue were the officiant and Shen Qiaoyun's own voice, pitched high as he recited his vows.

Just like that, he married a man. That night, as soon as he had changed into his nightgown, a pair of icy hands circled his waist and pulled him into the arms of a tall man. The man kissed his cheek and praised him. "Wifey, you're beautiful."

Shen Qiaoyun was so frightened he could hardly think. Shouldn't his sickly husband be in the hospital? Why was he here? And why hadn't he heard any footsteps?

The man's large hands began to explore lower, as if they were about to slip beneath his skirt. Shen Qiaoyun immediately turned and embraced him, his voice trembling. "Honey, I'm so tired from the wedding today. Can we do this another time?"

He was so scared that he forgot to keep his voice high. The man's hand wandered over his back as Shen Qiaoyun trembled in his arms. At last, he heard the man say, "All right."

But he couldn't avoid intimacy forever, so Shen Qiaoyun made sure to get ready beforehand and turn off the lights when they were together, making sure he wouldn't be discovered. He was extremely proactive, terrified of being found out.

Fortunately, his husband treated him well. Though he could be very overbearing at times, he was generous with money. And he was tall and handsome, so Shen Qiaoyun felt he hadn't made a bad deal.

He played the part of a virtuous wife in the villa while continuing to pretend to be a rich young master at school. Then, one day, he heard a boy in his class say they were going to explore the Jin Sen Villa District. That was when Shen Qiaoyun learned that the Jin Sen Villa District was an abandoned construction project. It had been abandoned because many people had died there, and he was living right in the Jin Sen Villa District...

One-on-one, both leads have only ever been with each other, no switching or reversing pairings.

A vain, beautiful, delicate wife on the receiving end x a domineering, ferocious, scheming top.

The receiving lead has some beloved-by-all qualities. He's a vain, beautiful man, but also a little naive.

Check whether these suit your tastes:

1. At home, the receiving lead will usually wear women's clothes and keep his hair long.

2. The receiving lead has a delicate, doted-on-wife quality. The top is happy to indulge him, and he likes it that way, especially when it comes to intimacy and the couple's preferences.

3. This story is written for the author's personal tastes. There will be lots of scenes doting on the receiving lead and treating him like a doll (I just want to dress a beautiful man up prettily =^_^=).

Here's a preview of my upcoming story, "The Beautiful Bride of the Empire's Fierce God." Have a look if you're interested.

Fuyue was a jellyfish with the ability to live forever. When he once again changed from his juvenile form to his adult form and came ashore, a group of strange people took him away, and he somehow ended up as a male escort.

He gradually realized that the world he lived in now was vastly different from the one he had known. Ten thousand years had passed.

To learn about this new world, he kept his true nature hidden. Then, as the most notorious male escort on a poor planet, he was treated as an object of humiliation and, through the machinations of the top brass of the Interstellar Alliance, married off to the Alliance's most feared human weapon, who had fallen into a coma after losing control of his mental powers.

On their first night as a married couple, Fuyue met his husband. When he saw the comatose man on the bed, he blinked. This was his child, the child he had once hatched.

As a mother, he cared for Mo Xuanpo with tenderness and attention, nourishing his consciousness with demonic power. Though he didn't know how Mo Xuanpo had come to the capital planet and become a celebrated Alliance general, he was a responsible mother, and he would heal his child.

But people kept coming to laugh at Mo Xuanpo. For his child's sake, Fuyue had no choice but to deal with these powerful figures. Yet their gazes grew stranger and stranger, lingering on Fuyue for longer and longer. Some even leaned close to him as they shook his hand goodbye and said, "Madam, your husband can't perform as a man. The nights are long, so why don't you..."

Fuyue pulled his hand away and elegantly wiped the spot they had touched over and over with a wet wipe.

Those young men of high rank thought Fuyue was merely putting on an act. Given enough time, they believed, he would be available to anyone.

That day never came. The Alliance's brutal god of war awoke. Only after Mo Xuanpo regained consciousness did he learn that he had been promised in marriage, and that his wife had once been a dissolute male lover.

When he angrily rushed into the garden, he saw an exceptionally beautiful young man. The young man wore a black gauze robe, his skin as white as snow and jade, his wine-red hair falling quietly down his back. He tucked a white camellia behind his ear, then turned to ask Mo Xuanpo, "Does it look good?"

The young man's beauty was captivating, but his eyes were unusually clear and pure, giving him an otherworldly air that did not match the rumors of his dissolute past.

Whenever Mo Xuanpo looked at his wife, he couldn't stop his heart from racing. Since they were married, he would take responsibility for him.

But his wife was far too bold and passionate, always saying that he had once been inside his reproductive cavity. Mo Xuanpo blushed scarlet. He had been unconscious the whole time, so how could that be...? Could it be that his wife had...?

His wife had suffered a lot when he was young and ignorant. Mo Xuanpo would give him the most comfortable life possible and teach him self-respect and self-love. At the very least, he couldn't go around saying such blush-inducing things to other people.

Those who coveted Fuyue all waited for Mo Xuanpo to wake up and drive him away. Then they could take Fuyue into a luxurious cage. But they waited and waited, and at one banquet, through layers of intricate flowers, they saw Mo Xuanpo kneeling before Fuyue, wrapping his arms around Fuyue's slender, soft waist and looking up to call him "Mother."

Reader's guide

1. The receiving lead is beloved by all. He is a hybrid of a Stygiomedusa jellyfish and a Turritopsis jellyfish. His jellyfish form is that of a Stygiomedusa (which can be white and red or black and red), and he has the Turritopsis's ability to return to his juvenile form and live forever. He is not intersex.

2. The receiving lead won't actually be abused. He's a jellyfish and can release toxins that cause hallucinations.

3. The story is set in the interstellar future. As always, the top is handsome and the receiving lead is beautiful.

4. The receiving lead and the top are different species and are not related by blood. The receiving lead is simply a beautiful, kind, innocent jellyfish who once hatched the top when he was still an egg.

5. One-on-one, both leads have only ever been with each other, no switching or reversing pairings.
