Qing Lu was a jellyfish spirit from the sea. One day, on a whim, he crawled ashore.
Qing Lu waved his tentacles gleefully. "Human society, here I come!"
A man passing by grabbed one of his tentacles.
Qing Lu: ?
The man curiously squeezed it. "Well, look at that. I found a blob of slime while beachcombing. I'm taking it home."
Qing Lu: "?"
Ji Beichi brought home a jellyfish with a wonderfully squeezable texture and a temper that was occasionally stable. He could squeeze it eight hundred times a day.
At last, Qing Lu couldn't take it anymore. The next time Ji Beichi reached for him, he angrily stung him.
Looking at Ji Beichi sprawled on the floor, Qing Lu nodded with satisfaction.
Young people have it easy. They hit the floor and fall right asleep.
As someone with severe insomnia, Ji Beichi couldn't remember the last time he'd had a good night's sleep.
Now he'd discovered that this jellyfish could help him sleep. If he squeezed it before bed each night, he'd sleep like a baby.
A month later, Ji Beichi took the jellyfish tank to the hospital for a follow-up, convinced that his insomnia had been cured.
After hearing the whole story, the doctor stared at him in disbelief.
"What the hell do you mean, it helps you sleep? You never realized you'd been stung unconscious this whole time?!"
Qing Lu slapped the water in indignation.
I'll sting him a few more times. Tonight, I'll definitely sting him a few more times!

A devoted, monogamous 1v1 romance between two pure-love warriors. The jellyfish can turn into a human.
Maybe it'll be a lighthearted slice-of-life story. (What else could it be?)

After Tan Yao is coldly ignored by the delicate, innocent-looking protagonist uke for the nth time, he can't figure out why.
Until he accidentally discovers that his original self has a grudge against the protagonist's uncle, a ruthless general who may even have hurt the protagonist!
And the protagonist is obsessed with his uncle...
Tan Yao: "..."
Tan Yao's grand plan has fallen apart halfway through, but he still has to protect the delicate flower, so he finds another way to go about it
When the delicate flower is in trouble, he's a brick. When the delicate flower is in danger, he's a shield. When the delicate flower tells him to get lost, he cries!
The delicate flower watches him cry for a while, then turns and heads back to the residence. When Tan Yao follows, the delicate flower doesn't chase him away.
Tan Yao: Heaven has eyes!!
*
As they grow closer, the delicate flower's angelic side slowly emerges. He's gentle and kind, and even cooks for Tan Yao, asking him, "Is it good?"
Tan Yao decides to move on to phase two: gently brainwash the delicate flower into believing his uncle is a villain!
On the first day, Tan Yao hints at it tactfully. The delicate flower looks at him strangely and walks away.
On the fifth day, Tan Yao explains it in detail. The delicate flower falls silent, his expression unreadable.
On the thirtieth day of his repeated brainwashing, the delicate flower grits his back teeth and smiles. "A-Yao, you're right. I'll listen to you."
Tan Yao: It worked! ovo
It's just that the delicate flower has become clingy and wants to sleep side by side with him every night. Maybe this is what beautiful brotherly love looks like!
*
Tan Yao panics when the general uncle, who should be stationed at the border, comes to the capital for a banquet, and the delicate flower disappears while Tan Yao is asleep.
The people at the residence say the delicate flower went to the general's mansion.
How could this happen!
Tan Yao rushes to the banquet in a panic. He doesn't finally relax until he scans the room and sees the other man sitting there safe and sound.
Thank goodness. He hasn't been executed on the spot.
But before Tan Yao can even finish that sigh of relief, he watches his own imperial elder brother raise a cup to the delicate flower.
"General Yun, you must be tired from your journey. Allow me to offer you a drink."
Tan Yao: ??
Tan Yao's eyes widen in shock: "...What the hell? Who are you?!"
