[This novel has applied to its editor to be unlocked. Please do not subscribe again.] Ji Zhiran is an honest man with a pretty face, but after nearly ten years in liquor sales, his performance is still at the bottom of the company. His manager sighs and calls him a lost cause. Then a new intern under him gets into trouble and shoves Ji Zhiran into Yue Lu Club, the biggest money pit in City A. Nervously clutching the nearly transparent white shirt of the waiter, Ji Zhiran only wants to get through the night. But the big shot at the center of the private room takes a liking to him. "You. Come here." In the dim light of the private room, Lu Minghe lowers his eyes to examine the waiter who has taken the initiative to sit on his lap. His fair face is completely unadorned. It looks fresh and delicate, though faint lines beneath his eyes betray his age. His narrow, reddened almond eyes gaze timidly at Lu Minghe. Lu Minghe only meant to call someone over to put on a show, but Ji Zhiran has delivered himself right to him. He looks so dazed and clueless, like a gray rabbit scared out of its wits. His seduction skills are truly awful. The only thing he has going for him is a face that has aged quite well. -- Ji Zhiran never imagined that, past thirty, he'd still have to make a living by selling his looks. That night, after filling in for the waiter and humoring Lu Minghe, he figured they'd never meet again. Out of habit, he left with, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me," then vanished without a trace. He never expected Lu Minghe to come looking for him. And now his company's mixed-race boss and his blond half-brother, who shares his father, have both latched onto him, too... - [The Pretend Gentleman, the Scoundrel with a Sincere Heart] Si Lian has a hunter's blood in his veins and loves the thrill of taking things from other people. At first, he doesn't mind Ji Zhiran's history with Lu Minghe. He treats Lu Minghe's former claim on Ji Zhiran as a trophy of his own. But at some point, Si Lian finds it harder and harder to tolerate anyone else paying attention to Ji Zhiran. He only wants Ji Zhiran's shy gaze to linger on him. When Ji Zhiran asks to break up, Si Lian never expects to become just like Lu Minghe, the man he once mocked: irrational and groveling. - [He Steals His Brother's Partner] To wrest power from his half-brother, Nuo En pretends to be an international student and approaches Ji Zhiran. His brother's partner is a naive, well-meaning person. He quickly believes Nuo En and even goes out of his way to help him with his everyday problems. At a home goods store, Nuo En follows Ji Zhiran at an unhurried pace, watching him talk to the owner. His gaze passes over Ji Zhiran's delicate, parted lips. He thinks that if he really were a foreign student alone in an unfamiliar country, he might actually fall for Ji Zhiran. Too bad he isn't. [Note:] 1. The relationships are one-on-one in different stages. All the tops are sexually inexperienced, and they'll all get their turn. Lu Minghe is the endgame top.

Then his mother married into a wealthy family, and he got a rich stepfather, too. But Jiang Song isn't the phoenix who rises to fame overnight. His younger brother, Jiang Che, is. Compared to his dependable, dull older brother, Jiang Song, the younger Jiang Che is sweet-tongued and quick-witted. Their mother pins all her hopes on her youngest son and spends a fortune sending him across the ocean to study in the United States. Jiang Song is sent along, too, supposedly to keep his younger brother company and take care of his daily needs. Jiang Che spends money without restraint and blows through his monthly allowance early every time. When Jiang Song calls their mother to ask for money, she blames him for being bad with finances, then transfers the money straight to Jiang Che's bank account. Jiang Song's life becomes painfully tight, and with nowhere else to turn, he has no choice but to get a job. That's when Celeste, the school's big shot and heir to a North American business empire, appears. He pulls out a wallet bulging with cash and opens it in front of Jiang Song. "How much does he give you? I'll pay double." The honest Jiang Song turns red with anger. For the first time in his life, he hits someone, raising his hand to slap Celeste. "Pervert!" "I'm not for sale!" - A new Chinese international student has arrived in the class next door. Like all those other rich wastrels, he doesn't catch Celeste's attention in the slightest. Until one day, the student's live-in companion appears outside the school dormitory, carefully carrying a thermos. Black hair, dark eyes, fair skin, and so thin Celeste could knock down ten of him with one punch. He looks utterly lost, like a lamb that's strayed from the flock. But Celeste doesn't want to knock him down. He wants to have him. After seeing how hard up Jiang Song is, Celeste confidently offers him generous terms, planning to steal him away from that rich wastrel and hire him as his own live-in companion. Instead, before he's even finished speaking, a soft slap lands on his face, carrying the fresh scent of citrus laundry detergent. - After that day, Celeste changes his mind. Since he's already been falsely accused, he might as well make the "crime" real. One night after they get together, Celeste bites the back of Jiang Song's neck. His voice is low and his gaze adoring. "Baby, you smell so good." Jiang Song still doesn't understand why his rich second-generation boyfriend likes the smell of cheap laundry detergent so much. In tears, he tries to bargain: "I'll wash your clothes with this detergent tomorrow, okay?" 🐱 My completed novels: The Cat Courtesan Is Still a Force to Be Reckoned With, After Becoming a Comfort Cat for a Cold Snake Top, and The Cat Boss Is Socially Anxious.
