Warning: Crossing the Line Is a Foul

First, a quick plug for my new novel, the fantasy BL infinite-flow story Murdering a Sickly Beauty in Disguise, currently updating. The blurb is at the end!

The main story is complete, with bonus chapters released at random!

Mad beauty of a commander x pure-hearted wolfdog young man

This story has no fantasy elements, and is set in a fictional country.

Ling Yao: Younger wolfdog, tsundere top

Duan Chen: Older, all-powerful flirtatious bottom

Two strong leads, ten-year age gap, wolfdog turns into a puppy

Watch as the master goes through the complicated process of “training the dog,” “losing the dog,” “finding the dog,” and “luring the dog.”

Duan Chen, thirty-two, is the intelligence psychology ace and a Level One commander in the intelligence organization Shadow Abyss of the Kingdom of Bumeng.

When it comes to enemies, he excels at every dirty trick in the book.

When it comes to admirers, he is just as good at charming and seducing them.

But he lacks one thing: close-combat skills.

There's a saying at headquarters: Better to have a gun pressed to your temple than to catch Duan Chen's eye.

He's calm and sharp, yet gentle and beautiful. Roses and love letters pile up on his desk every day. He accepts them all, charms people wherever he goes, yet turns every one of them down.

Everyone says Duan Chen is a pure, untouchable cold moon, a heartless enchantress.

Those words reached Ling Yao, a rebellious young man of twenty-two, a genius on the operations team and a martial arts champion. He took an instant dislike to the “cold moon.”

But fate always loves to toy with those who refuse to believe in it.

When Ling Yao received a mission to partner with the “cold moon,” his face and heart were full of impatience. He had no desire to protect a frail, troublesome “pretty boy.”

But the “pretty boy” seemed to enjoy teasing puppies.

At the headquarters' general meeting, Duan Chen was late.

He sauntered through the door, casually twirling his car keys, and walked straight toward Ling Yao through the solemn room. Leaning in slightly, he brushed the young agent's taut ear with a warm breath scented with morning dew, then smiled as if it were nothing.

“Thanks for putting up with the trouble of protecting someone like me.”

Amid that faint, lingering fragrance, Ling Yao's carefully prepared refusal vanished into thin air for no apparent reason.

As expected of a Level One commander. The little wolfdog was easy to handle!

At first, Duan Chen thought the young man who glared at him with barely contained fury was a muscle-bound simpleton. Later, he discovered the kid was fairly clever and had an “extraordinary ability” too, making him a valuable asset.

So the Level One commander often gave the young team member extra lessons. Naturally, he didn't forget to tease the puppy in his spare time, teaching him how to deliver the most devastating words in the most professional tone:

“Just like now. I know exactly how to make you obey my orders in one second.”

Duan Chen's gaze pinned him in place like the soles of his shoes had been glued down. Ling Yao's ears turned red and his brain froze. He couldn't move an inch, but inside he was yelling furiously: Yeah, right! One second, my ass... Wait, did he just touch my hand?!

At first, Ling Yao scoffed at Duan Chen's irresistible charm. Then his jealousy began to boil over. Eventually, he secretly buried his face in the pillow Duan Chen had slept on, like a big dog marking its territory but too scared to let anyone know.

Until, in the end, the wild, untamable wolfdog suddenly had only two questions on his mind:

“Did the commander look at me today?”

“Does the commander like me?”

The next novel launches July 26: the fantasy BL infinite-flow story Murdering a Sickly Beauty in Disguise. Please take a look at the blurb and add it to your collection!

Beautiful gong, strong shou

Two strong leads

Mad, sickly beauty and calamity god gong

Clever, kind anomaly cleanser shou

In a world where the wicked “Mistsnow” has descended, people's hearts have been corrupted and evil thoughts run rampant. Many have become spiritually corrupted.

Xia Zhao is the top anomaly cleanser at the Bureau of Anomalous Phenomena. Every day, he ventures into the city's darkest corners, pulling one “corrupted” person after another back from the brink of ruin. He enters their mindscape illusions to find the fragments of humanity buried within.

Until one day, he discovers a delicate beauty in the ruins veiled by Mistsnow. The man is curled up among the rubble, his clothes disheveled and his face haggard. His pair of wet, peach-blossom eyes are heartbreakingly fragile. Xia Zhao's protective instincts instantly reach their peak. He's definitely saving this man!

But Xia Zhao can't determine the beauty's level of corruption. It's completely beyond his abilities, so all he can do is bring this “S-rank, severely corrupted person” named Yu Wang home and take meticulous care of him, doing everything he can to treat him.

What he doesn't know is that the person he brought home isn't a lamb in need of salvation. He's the very culprit behind the disaster that has befallen the world.

Yu Wang finds it laughable. This cleanser named Xia Zhao always tries those childish methods to treat him, and keeps saying, “Don't be afraid. I'll make you better.”

What a pure, foolish person, with nothing in his heart but a useless glimmer of hope... Yu Wang is certain that destroying him will be the most entertaining game of his long life.

He carefully plans one assassination after another, but Xia Zhao escapes by sheer luck every time. That's because Xia Zhao isn't afraid of him at all. He even thinks all Yu Wang's attempts to kill him are just side effects of the Mistsnow's corruption, and wants to “cure” him completely.

“How do you want to kill me today?” Xia Zhao asks, a slice of bread between his teeth.

Yu Wang hands him a jar of jam with the lid already open. “How about freezing you to death? I guarantee it'll be painless.”

Xia Zhao protests. “That won't do. I have to write a report today, and I can't type with frozen fingers. Next time you plan an assassination, please take my work schedule into account first.”

Yu Wang: “...”

Xia Zhao: “Don't forget to take your medicine after breakfast. It's a new formula, specially made to treat your illness.”

Yu Wang: You’re the one who's sick!!!

Once again, Yu Wang loses control in a mindscape illusion. Shadows become blades and coil around Xia Zhao's neck. His murder is on the verge of succeeding.

But Xia Zhao recognizes him and wraps him tightly in his arms, gently patting his back. His voice is full of concern. “Did someone bewitch you again? Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you.”

The deadly shadows freeze in midair. Amid the other man's unreserved trust, the killing intent gradually dissipates, and daylight returns to the illusion.

“Why aren't you afraid?” Yu Wang finally asks after yet another failed murder attempt.

Beside him, Xia Zhao mumbles sleepily, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. “Because every time you try to kill me, your eyes look so sad...”

After Yu Wang's Nth failed attempt at murder, Xia Zhao realizes he can't change the man's heart. Exhausted, he tosses his thick treatment plan into the trash and gives up. “Whoever wants to deal with mindscape illusions can go to hell. I don't want to deal with you anymore!”

The calamity god panics. Yu Wang puts one end of the iron chain binding him back into Xia Zhao's hand. His gaze is stubborn, yet full of longing. “...Don't give up! Say you love me again... Hurry!”
