Coming next: The Emperor Ascends the Throne in a Psychiatric Hospital. It's another unconventional harem story, so come on in!
--
Hu Li is the illegitimate son of an Asian tycoon, a family embarrassment who nevertheless has a face so devastatingly beautiful it can cloud people's judgment.
Rumor has it that he leads a promiscuous life, spending his days with one man after another.
Only he knows the truth: there's no womanizing involved. He's just an unlucky fox whose yang energy is nearly depleted and who is about to reveal his true form.
The founding matriarch of Qingqiu said, "We foxes are born to seduce scholars!"
Scholars?
Hu Li plunged into campus, eyes shining. "Time to eat!"
Others studied abroad for a degree. Hu Li studied abroad to stay alive. One breath of yang energy was worth ten years of study!

Cassian, student council president, always buttons his shirt to the very top. He's the school's famous cold and chaste heartthrob.
Hu Li let one shoulder slip from his shirt and tumbled into his arms, greedily inhaling his yang energy. "I'm dizzy. Can I lean on your shoulder?"
Mmm! Mmm! So good!
His fox tail went wild beneath his clothes.
Cassian stiffened like a post. He caught sight of a certain bulge twitching behind Hu Li, and the tips of his ears instantly turned red. "If you're going to lie, at least remember to turn off your toy..."
Hu Li's eyes flew open. (That's a real tail! It's not a toy!!)

Darrens, a famous boxer and a walking bundle of hormones, is a shining star on campus.
Hu Li deliberately mussed his hair and let his eyes glisten. "Hey, the AC is so strong here. Can I warm up in your arms?"
A hot, solid chest. He sucked in huge gulps of yang energy! So good!
He didn't notice the warm little thing in his hair, rubbing against Darrens' chest muscles through his thin undershirt.
With a bang, the barbell hit the floor.
The other man's Adam's apple bobbed. "What are you doing? Don't touch me like that..."
Hu Li jolted awake again. (I'm innocent! Those fox ears just won't behave!)

Roman, a school shareholder, carries himself like a man in power. He's the school's most mysterious mixed-race big shot.
Unable to get enough, Hu Li was starving and half-asleep. He spotted a familiar blond head from behind and, out of habit, flopped right into his arms. After taking a big gulp of yang energy, he complained, "Yesterday... you hurt me."
The air froze. The students around them sucked in a collective breath.
Roman stroked the watch on his wrist and suddenly smiled. "Sorry, you've got the wrong person."
He hooked an arm around the back of Hu Li's neck. "But... I'd be happy to help you, too."
Hu Li: What? Who have I been flirting with these past few days?
Hu Li thought he was a faithful playboy, until he discovered...
He hadn't been flirting with the same man over and over? Was it really that hard to tell white men apart?
[Reading Guide]
1. The bottom is a virgin, and so is the top.
2. The bottom isn't actually a playboy. He just can't tell faces apart and flirts with the wrong person.
3. The tops dote on the bottom and fall in love with only him in this lifetime.
Babies, don't pick a favorite. There are separate endings. I want to give everyone a home!!

Coming next: The Emperor Ascends the Throne in a Psychiatric Hospital. Come on in!
Blurb:
On a bright Monday, the stock market hadn't crashed yet, but Yu Chen's love life, career, and health had all gone down in flames.
His boyfriend cheated on him with a rich girl and broke up with him.
Then his boss screamed at him hysterically over the phone.
Yu Chen gripped the diagnosis confirming he had schizophrenia and tore it to pieces.
I can't go on living like this!
1
Ever since Yu Chen developed schizophrenia, his life had felt like a movie.
He came home exhausted after work, opened the door, and found a hall full of servants kneeling and calling him "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
The boss who had just berated him that day knelt before him with a basin of foot-washing water on a tray, his face full of restrained resentment. At last, all he managed to say was, "This servant is here to wash Your Highness's feet."
Yu Chen deliberately splashed water all over his boss's face.
In the theater inside his mind, the ex who had dumped him was just a down-and-out young nobleman, devotedly acting as his lovesick lackey.
During the day, Yu Chen saw his ex buy jewelry for his new lover. That night, the lackey brought him an identical piece of jewelry in both hands. "This jewel is a perfect match for Your Highness."
Yu Chen accepted the jewelry "reluctantly," then turned around and fitted his criminal-slave boss with a dog collar.
Yu Chen's childhood crush, now a dazzling new star in the entertainment industry, was merely an aloof tutor.
The tutor's exquisite fingers played the qin through the night for him alone.
You are all nothing but my playthings.
This mental illness is a blast!
2
From then on, Yu Chen saw things in a whole new light.
During the day, his boss woke him from his lunch break to revise a proposal. "You're so young. Why are you taking a nap?"
In the middle of the night, he had someone drag his criminal slave out of bed. "You're so young. Why are you sleeping?"
--
During the day, his ex put an arm around his new lover and sneered at him. "We were just fooling around. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"
That night, Yu Chen rejected his lovesick lackey's request to sell himself to save his father. "I only went along with you for fun. Why are you taking it seriously?"
--
During the day, his childhood crush stood him up. That night, the tutor knelt before his hall, begging him to come to class.

He thought this was the ultimate fantasy for an overworked office drone, until...
Why were the marks on the criminal slave he'd punished the other day now showing up on his CEO?
Why had his ex also been swindled out of all his money by a fake heiress, just like the lackey he'd bled dry?
Why had his childhood crush been exposed in a scandal, just as the tutor whose reputation he'd ruined in a prank?
Yu Chen: ...Wait a second. My mental illness seems kind of off.
Even stranger, why were these people all acting weird? They were supposed to hate him to the bone, so why were their eyes practically glowing as they fought to be his "one and only"?
[Bonus Scene]
Yu Chen's schizophrenia grew worse and worse.
He was sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, but when he opened the door to his room,
he smelled not disinfectant, but the rich scent of dragon's-blood incense filling a palace hall.
He saw not patients in hospital gowns, but a court full of officials dressed in uniform dark blue-black robes.
They suddenly dropped to their knees as one and cried, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
