A charismatic, beautiful, and tragic band-frontman gong who attracts everyone x various semes.
The author tried to write a cool, handsome uke, but somehow he kept turning into a beautiful, gorgeous one. Sorry about that... There will be lots of descriptions of him as beautiful.
Qiu Yuliu once spent a happy time in Japan.
After graduating from high school, he moved to Tokyo and became a resident singer at a bar, working to pay for his parents' medical expenses and his younger brother's tuition. During that time, Qiu Yuliu met three people who loved music as much as he did, or so he thought. The four of them formed a punk rock band, often putting on small shows and building a modest following.
Those days were truly wonderful. Even after what happened later, the thing that nearly destroyed Qiu Yuliu, he couldn't help but miss the time he spent forming a band in Japan.
As the days went by, his parents' health improved, and his younger brother started working. He also missed his boyfriend back home and decided to return to visit. When Qiu Yuliu politely said he would go home after the next day's performance, his bandmates imprisoned him. The faces of those usually gentle bandmates turned into the faces of demons, demanding to know why he had a partner and had still seduced them. Every day, Qiu Yuliu had to endure their lust, though they never denied him material comforts.
He once broke down in tears and asked the demons, “Why are you doing this to me... Didn't you form a band with me because you loved music?” All he got in return was even rougher treatment. The people he had thought shared his passion had only wanted to sleep with him.
With the help of his fans, those dark days finally came to an end. After returning home, Qiu Yuliu thought he would never touch music again. He also broke up with his boyfriend, even though neither of them had done anything wrong.
He worked as a bartender, and countless people came to the bar just to catch a glimpse of his beauty. Qiu Yuliu simply smiled and handled them with ease.
It wasn't until he heard someone else perform that day that he realized his love for music had never faded.
If the pain of the past can't disappear or be forgotten, then he would face it.
He thought, I probably won't ever be able to separate myself from music, not in this lifetime.
“Give it a try,” Qiu Yuliu told himself, “for the sake of the dream I once had.”
“Give it a try,” Qiu Yuliu told himself, “to save the person I used to be, trapped in a nightmare.”
Content warnings:
1. The semes are sexually inexperienced; the uke is not. All the semes are wholesome, with no promiscuous gong.
2. It might get a little dark?
3. The uke is a handsome, universally adored guy. (The author meant to write him that way, but somehow he seems to come across as more beautiful than handsome. Yep.)
4. The author only likes listening to music and has never been in a band. I'll do my best to avoid professional errors while writing, but please point out anything I've missed.
5. No fans of semes being the submissive ones, and no trying to give every character equal attention.
