Hey! Seafood Isn't Allowed on Shore

A two-faced, sharp-toothed, humanlike sea monster top x a brilliant, beautiful, pain-loving dentist bottom

One-line summary: After Cheng Lechu stopped seafood from coming ashore, he got by thanks to the seafood that came ashore.

-

As widespread ocean pollution caused marine life to mutate on its own, sea creatures began choosing to come ashore.

This was an utterly absurd world:

A sunfish who prayed and meditated while raising chickens for meat

An anglerfish determined to start a clay-pot stew business

A blobfish who kept trying to make a comeback on the looks circuit

A Stygiomedusa who sat in an office all day, drinking tea and chatting

Cheng Lechu: I hate seafood.

The Land-Sea Harmony Administration was a temporary government agency established to deal with the rapid growth of marine industries.

Cheng Lechu was one of its proud members, tasked with resolving conflicts between land and sea. He hadn't volunteered.

Still, his heart might have been biased, but his talents weren't. He proved exceptionally capable at the job.

For fish with religious convictions, Cheng Lechu hiked from mountain temple to mountain temple, helping them find the true meaning of their faith.

For fish who dreamed of becoming dragons, Cheng Lechu combined science and mysticism, running all over the place to find them a path to ascension.

For fish with marital problems, Cheng Lechu... Cheng Lechu choked. After a moment's thought, he suggested, "How about fighting in bed and making up in bed?"

At his feet, a semitransparent blob of jelly with limitless combat power, classified as a Cthulhu deep-sea creature by the Sea Administration due to its unknown taxonomy, slowly tilted its head. "Hmm?"

It seemed to have learned something incredible.

On a rainy night, Cheng Lechu felt the electric thrill of the wounds on his body and let out a deep, unsteady breath.

A slick tentacle was kicked viciously to the side.

"You bastard! Just because we're married doesn't mean we can work things out!"

-

Afterword:

Since taking this job, Cheng Lechu had helped every person he met and every fish he saw. Through his own hard work, he gained powerful connections on both land and sea, earning him the nickname: the land-and-sea-connected insider.

Reader's guide: 1. The Cthulhu elements in this story are entirely fictional, as is the setting. Don't take it too seriously~

2. In the early part of the story, Cthulhu is a cute, clueless fish. In his complete form, he's a suave, mature man.

3. The bottom has a psychological disorder and is a masochist, adored by every fish. There will be some teasing, but I'll try to keep it restrained. His little head sometimes has a mind of its own.

4. If you drop the story, no need to tell me. Please be polite and friendly, and don't give unsolicited writing advice.

5. Both are each other's first and only partner. Hope you enjoy the story~

Does Rural Romance Have to Involve Ghosts?

Chen Yu had been in poor health since childhood and could sometimes see things other people couldn't.

The year he got into college, his parents died in a car accident. When his aunt heard the news, she rushed in from the countryside that very night to take him in. "Xiaoyu, come with me. I'll look after you."

Chen Yu nodded. But when he got to the village, he neither harvested grain nor caught fish. Instead, he set his sights on the man from the family by the old locust tree at the village entrance.

There was something strange about this man. Whenever it was rainy or overcast, black smoke billowed from his body.

His aunt introduced him. "This is Chen Ziji. He's older than you and used to be a college student, too. You should call him big brother."

Chen Yu admired Chen Ziji's handsome, muscular build, then looked down at himself and called out awkwardly, "Big brother."

Chen Ziji stubbed out his cigarette and asked, "Chen Yu, as in 'a beauty who can make fish sink and geese fall'?"

After that, Chen Yu found himself calling him "big brother" more and more easily.

"Big brother, how do I thresh the grain? I don't know how. Help me."

"Big brother, everyone's catching cicadas. I don't know how. Help me."

"Big brother, there's a fish in the water. I can't catch it. Help me."

"Big brother..."

Even though he hated men who were so listless and useless, Chen Ziji couldn't help getting weak in the knees every time Chen Yu called him big brother. He hid behind the wall and smoked three cigarettes, then turned around and asked, "Chen Yu, have you ever been in a relationship?"

Chen Yu shook his head.

Chen Ziji said, "It's okay. You don't know how. Your big brother will teach you."

Chen Ziji thought Chen Yu was perfect in every way. Sure, the black smoke that billowed from him on overcast days wasn't very eco-friendly, but that was a small thing. Then, on the back hill, he saw a tombstone engraved with the name Chen Ziji.

That night, Chen Yu had nightmares all night. He was about to run away the next day when Chen Ziji caught him.

A little scared, Chen Yu told him, "Big brother, the village doesn't allow two men to be together."

Chen Ziji didn't suspect anything. He only smoked two cigarettes before replying, "Your big brother will take you away."

They would leave, at least. It was just unclear whether the living were allowed to stay wherever they were headed.
