The Day of Farewell

Younger devoted puppy-like pursuer × aloof, revered god-touched beloved After a great catastrophe, the world became a wasteland ruled by the god-touched. The great ship Noah, soon to set sail from the exclusion zone, would take only a handful of the “chosen.” Yang was a stray dog who had clawed his way up from the filthiest depths. Lavien was a god-touched man who stood high above everyone in Gray Harbor. They belonged to two different worlds. But Yang insisted on forcing his way into Lavien’s. They made a pact, but Lavien always kept him at arm’s length. Until one late night, Yang found the god-touched man lying on the porch, covered in wounds. Lavien turned the tables, looming over him as he held Yang’s face and kissed him. The Axum family fell overnight. The god-touched man was hauled onto a prison cart as stones rained down on him from every side. “Fraud!” “Murderer!” “A life for a life!!!” Amid the curses, Yang forced his way to the front, then leaped up and spread his arms wide. “Lavien… are you okay? Look at me!!” At last, Lavien reacted. He turned his head and looked at the man standing before him with arms outstretched, shielding him. His lashes trembled. Love moves the sun and the other stars. “Lavien, I want you to win.” “This bouquet is for the one and only love of my life.” “Lavien, I love you.” The author’s favorite: a gentle, guiding pursuer × a noble, broken, unhinged beloved Content warnings: A fairly long character-growth arc #plot-focused #a little melodramatic #flawed protagonists My next book, “I Ran Into a Dog,” is expected to launch at the end of the year.
