My Ex's Older Brother Has Me Hooked

Please add my upcoming novel, Loved by an Evil God After the Sacrifice, to your reading list!

Blurb:

Yuan Song had spent three years caring for his younger boyfriend, only to find out that the man had cheated on him.

That weekend, trying to forget his troubles in work, a customer with a buzz cut and a wild streak came into the shop.

No need to say more: he was just plain hot, and he danced all over Yuan Song's type. Maybe this was the start of his second spring.

Yuan Song: "A gray cigar?"

"No thanks," Zhou Shujing said. "Cigars are bad for your health."

Yuan Song laughed. "But this is a cigar shop."

Zhou Shujing nodded. "I'm looking for the owner. He's a relative of mine."

...Who comes here to cause trouble and claims to be related to the owner?

.

As Yuan Song's contact with Zhou Shujing grew more frequent, he also started going to the hospital more often.

"My tooth started bothering me this morning," Yuan Song said, pretending to be sick. "Dr. Zhou, help me out."

Zhou Shujing squeezed Yuan Song's cheek and examined his teeth with great professionalism, but the look in his eyes seemed rather strange.

"It's not convenient right now. Come to my place tonight and I'll take a look."

Later, his ex suddenly regretted the breakup and came back, begging to get back together at Yuan Song's door.

But Yuan Song had long since resolved to have nothing more to do with his ex. That went for his ex's mother, father, brothers, and sisters, too.

But when his ex saw Zhou Shujing, he said, "Brother?"

Yuan Song: Don't act like you know him!

.

Soon after that, Boss Yuan went on a business trip.

Zhou Shujing caught the earliest flight and chased him all the way to another city. After finally tracking him down, the first thing Zhou Shujing said was, "Open your mouth."

Yuan Song was still working through the complicated feeling of liking his ex's older brother when Zhou Shujing had already taken the lollipop out of his mouth.

"Don't eat too much candy. It's bad for your teeth." Zhou Shujing kissed him. "Can you stop avoiding me now, Boss Yuan?"

Yuan Song closed his eyes and thought: This is so good.

Upcoming novel blurb:

"Riding on a tiger's coattails" / frail / beautiful human uke x wickedly handsome / possessive / scheming evil god seme

Xie Tinghe was born into a wealthy family and was beautiful enough to make a fine actor. Unfortunately, an accident disfigured the right side of his face and left him deaf in both ears.

His suitors changed their minds overnight, and his stepmother made life difficult for him at every turn... From then on, Xie Tinghe's life took a sharp turn for the worse.

A fortune-teller said he was surrounded by dark energy, wouldn't live six months, and would bring his family to ruin. His father sent him to a remote wilderness, where he was sacrificed to an evil god as nourishment.

They said the evil god was bloodthirsty and tyrannical. Anyone it set its sights on would suffer endless nightmares and be eaten until not even their bones remained.

The evil god had set its sights on Xie Tinghe... but his nightmares didn't seem quite like everyone else's?

The evil god whom everyone feared immediately embraced him, acted cute by his ear, then asked him to be his wife. "I'm cold. Can I come in and warm up?"

Xie Tinghe was very innocent. "Where do you want to come in?"

Fu Yin: ^ ^

.

A year later, no one expected Xie Tinghe to return unharmed and make a comeback in show business.

Everyone knew that Xie Tinghe had been disfigured, and they were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

During a carefully staged interview variety show, Xie Tinghe's mask suddenly fell off. But the ugly scars had vanished, replaced by a flawless face.

Later, the supernatural movie Xie Tinghe starred in became a hit, and the ghosts in it became famous, too. Everyone said they looked incredibly realistic.

Xie Tinghe set the record straight: My husband wasn't acting.

Fans: 0.0

People gradually noticed that supernatural incidents happened wherever Xie Tinghe went, and everyone who had bullied him met with misfortune.

His stepmother was chronically ill and heard eerie sobbing every night around midnight;

The actor who had framed Xie Tinghe was exposed for his scandals, went mad, and disappeared without a trace;

His former suitor shamelessly begged him to reconcile, then suddenly died one day.

No one could see Fu Yin leaning over Xie Tinghe's shoulder. "Ting'er, where's my reward?"

Xie Tinghe replied with restrained indulgence, "A Yin, how about tonight?"

Wherever Fu Yin went, nightmares followed, terrifying everyone. But in Xie Tinghe's dreams, Fu Yin only ever doted on him.

He had lost count of how many times he'd sobbed in his dreams and begged for mercy.

.

During a live broadcast of a film festival, people noticed that Xie Tinghe was always talking to the air. Rumor had it that he was speaking to his lover.

Fans: They say actors shouldn't get too deep into their roles. Who takes a ghost for a husband?

Fans: He's starved for affection. I think that actor next door would be perfect for Xiao He.

But as soon as Xie Tinghe stepped onstage, all the lights suddenly went out. A handsome, elegant man with a deathly pale complexion appeared out of nowhere beside him.

Fu Yin put an arm around Xie Tinghe to claim him, and didn't forget to introduce himself. "Hello, everyone. I'm the one and only love of Ting'er."

Theme: A rotten branch goes wild in the dirt, growing free of all restraints
