Two years ago, the young master of the Shen family lost his memory. Since then, he's thrown himself into painting, even going abroad for it, seemingly determined to devote his life to art.

His family finally loses patience and brings him back as soon as he graduates to inherit the family business. They force him to attend a banquet and network, but when one wave after another of people approach him, he slips away to find some peace and quiet.

Instead, he runs headlong into a movie star who's reportedly at the peak of his career. The moment Shen Zhou sees him, his heart starts pounding.

Shen Zhou: Oh my god, is this what a crush feels like?

But the movie star really isn't good with words. As soon as he opens his mouth, Shen Zhou's heart pounds even harder.

Shen Zhou takes the opportunity to tease him.

“Not good at picking up guys, little brother? I'll teach you.”

“As payment, how about you pose for me? Without any clothes on.”

Shen Zhou only meant to enjoy the sound of his own teasing, but he never expected the movie star to show up at his door of his own accord.

Just as the two of them are getting along quite nicely, Shen Zhou makes a major discovery:

The movie star has a beloved first love!!!

Shen Zhou: I'm not putting up with this nonsense. Bye!

But gradually, Shen Zhou starts to feel like this first love seems awfully familiar... almost as if he himself is the one the movie star loved.

And apparently, they even dated once, before he lost his memory.

-

Pei Xu worked his way from supporting roles in commercial films to become a leading actor. He's always been very careful in his relationships and has complete control over his life, except for one thing: he once lost his memory.

So when rumors spread that he's into men and has a long-term lover he once loved passionately, Pei Xu dismisses them.

There's no way he could be into men.

He's straight.

Until the day he meets Shen Zhou. He's strikingly beautiful, languid and refined, more of a center of attention than the celebrities themselves.

At first sight, Pei Xu's heart races.

Pei Xu suddenly realizes he might not be so straight after all.

Pei Xu can't help getting closer, launching an all-out pursuit.

When a film Shen Zhou invested in runs into trouble, Pei Xu cancels all his work to help.

When Shen Zhou spitefully claims he's dating someone else, Pei Xu says it's fine. He doesn't need a label.

When Shen Zhou is the target of rumors, Pei Xu stands up for him, risking a ban to prove his innocence.

Everything goes smoothly, until...

His memories return, and he remembers everything that happened in the past.

That day, Shen Zhou pins him down by the chest, his gaze cold. His words land on Pei Xu's heart, one by one.

“Who are you looking at through me?”

“I don't have time to play your first-love games.”

“You said you wouldn't lie to me again.”

Pei Xu has no answer. He thinks he should say “I'm sorry” and then leave Shen Zhou's life.

But reason and action never seem to line up.

Later, Pei Xu brings Shen Zhou's favorite flowers and crouches outside his door, looking like a pitiful little dog that's been abandoned.

When he catches a fleeting glimpse of Shen Zhou's softening expression, Pei Xu hugs him tight.

Pei Xu says:

“There is no one else.”

“Don't leave me.”

Shen Zhou closes his eyes. He'll have to cure himself of this weakness for softening.

Next up:

Master, the Snake Wants to Coil Around You, a dom professor × an adorable little snake

After Zhaozhao takes human form, he starts working hard to get a residence permit for the human settlement.

First, he needs a legal owner willing to keep him as a pet.

Filled with enthusiasm, he sets off on his journey to find an owner

It doesn't go well, but luckily, a man saves him.

Although the man seems distant to the core, as if no one can get close to him,

he's exactly Zhaozhao's type. He's a university teacher with a secure job, and he's a good person. Perfect!

For the first time in his life, this cold-blooded animal feels his heart pounding.

Zhaozhao likes him. He really wants to claim that man as his owner.

-

Mu Xuan has been able to understand animal speech since birth.

He's always been cold and indifferent, never stirred by any animal.

He hears the little white snake, destined to be devoured by human society, call him “handsome.” He also hears it cry “Help!” and “It hurts!”

Even though it can barely take care of itself, it still goes to save another cat.

Foolish. Mu Xuan turns away without a second thought

Then turns back.

Mu Xuan's life makes an exception.

Before Mu Xuan can change his mind, the little white snake has already stumbled into his life.

One morning, a stunning young man stands outside his door, gazing at him with beautiful, innocent eyes.

The young man's voice is clear and sweet. “Hello. Would you be willing to be my owner?”

Mu Xuan asks, “Do you know what ‘owner’ means?”

The young man nods, looking puzzled. Clearly, he doesn't.

He also doesn't know that his captivating eyes subtly change with the light, just like a snake's.

That's a secret Mu Xuan has always known.

-

Zhaozhao thinks Mu Xuan is the best person in the world, but only Mu Xuan knows the darkness, coldness, and possessiveness hidden inside himself.

Whether he's frightened, happy, or in the throes of passion, Zhaozhao likes to coil around Mu Xuan.

Until the moment Mu Xuan finally reveals his true self.

Mu Xuan holds the flushed, dazed Zhaozhao from behind and kisses the little red mole on his back.

He repeats in Zhaozhao's ear, “Remember, you're the one who coiled around me first.”

“Don't even think about leaving.”
