Synopsis
[The entire novel is finished and ready to read. Regular updates are starting, and they'll be super consistent]
New novel: "He's My Alpha" is complete and ready to read. Regular updates will resume soon.
New novel: "The Foolish Husband of the General's Family" is now open for advance reservations.
Not long after the semester began, Cheng Yi couldn't take the dorm conditions anymore and asked his counselor to move him. There were no vacancies in the dorms for his major, so they could only squeeze him into a dorm in the clinical medicine department. And so, a certain bond began.
On his very first day in the new dorm, he fell out with his roommate. Soon after, he got into another feud while standing up for a friend.
Cheng Yi: Bro, stealing someone else's partner isn't exactly moral.
He Yan: Has anyone ever told you that you have absolutely no manners?
Cheng Yi felt a thousand mud horses stampeding through his heart. He had never been so humiliated.
The two of them were now enemies, and Cheng Yi swore to himself that for the next four years, he would treat He Yan as if he were invisible. That way, he wouldn't lose his temper and show him just how bad his manners could be.
But why was everything getting so weird?
The more he looked at his roommate, the more he liked him. He Yan was proud and charming, always making Cheng Yi blush and setting his heart racing. By the time Cheng Yi realized what was happening, it was already too late.
He Yan: I like you. I don't know if you'd be willing to give me a proper place in your life.
Cheng Yi: Actually, I like you too!
Cheng Yi knew perfectly well that this relationship couldn't see the light of day. He did everything he could to protect it, but it still came to light during their junior year.
Cheng Yi was caught between a rock and a hard place. He had been born in the mud and could endure hardship without ever bowing his head, but he couldn't drag He Yan down into that mire with him.
His sun was born to shine high above.
He Yan: Even if I never come back, you still want me to leave, don't you?
Cheng Yi: Yes.
Happy ending. The two pursue each other in both directions and dote on each other.
Currently updating: "That Straight Guy Suddenly Turned Gay," a cool, handsome racing-driver top x a garage-owner bottom
Available for advance reservation: "The Hunter's Tough Husband," an ancient-style farming story! (The manuscript is complete.)
Available for advance reservation: "He's My Alpha" (The manuscript is almost complete.)
Reading Guide:
1: Both leads are each other's first and only. The first half mainly takes place during college (college is the setting, but the focus is on everyday life).
2: Many of the elements and settings are based on research. I'm not an expert, so please point out any mistakes and I'll correct them.
3: The focus is on the two being evenly matched (the bottom has a slightly more angsty side, but it isn't serious).
4: It's hard to define specific triggers, since everyone likes different things. I personally don't think there are any common trigger elements.
5: The main characters aren't perfect and have their flaws.
6: I think there's a slight groveling arc (the bottom pursues the top, but it's not serious and doesn't last long).
Theme: Life will always get better
