The next book I'll write is What Use Is This Beauty to Me? Add it to your collection!
Qin Zhi has recently been having the same dream over and over.
In the dream, a man kills him the same way again and again. No matter how he struggles, he can't escape his eventual death.
Tormented by nightmares, he's become a nervous wreck and can't sleep at night. With no other option, he goes to see a psychiatrist.
Dr. Shen Muyang, deputy head of the psychiatry department at X Hospital, is young and accomplished, courteous and modest, and incredibly handsome. He's known as the angel and campus heartthrob of X Hospital.
So many people come to see him that the queue could stretch from X Hospital to the commercial district on the next street. Qin Zhi has to pull several strings before he finally gets an appointment.
But on the day of the appointment, Qin Zhi takes one look at the courteous, handsome Dr. Shen and runs away in a panic as if he's seen a ghost.
Shen Muyang: ...
Dr. Shen really is handsome, the kind of handsome that makes your heart skip a beat. But that handsome face fills Qin Zhi with dread:
It's the face that has killed him countless times in his dreams.
Shen is the gong and Qin is the shou. The author likes dual perspectives, but the story is mainly told from the shou's perspective.
The professional details in this story are not based on research.

What Use Is This Beauty to Me?
Cheng Yi is a man whose one great ambition is to become a domineering CEO. Unexpectedly, he ends up becoming a domineering CEO's man.
Cheng Yi's greatest dream in life is to become an entrepreneur as successful as Jack Ma. Unfortunately, although he's full of drive and ambition, his career luck is always terrible. The richer Jack Ma gets, the poorer Cheng Yi becomes.
Ask him why he's doing so badly, and Cheng Yi says with a sorrowful face, “They all say I'm too good-looking, so I must be a scammer!”
Life is hard. Being ugly won't do, but apparently being beautiful won't do either.
His looks keep him from holding down a job for long. At last, a company is willing to offer him a long-term contract, but the CEO is his childhood friend, who personally calls him in for a meeting.
Shu Meng crosses his legs. “Come be my personal assistant.”
Cheng Yi says righteously, “Let's start by refusing workplace quid pro quo.”
The other man scoffs. “What a joke. I'm just trying to give you a hand because you're doing so badly. I'm not remotely interested in your face. You've got two choices now: be my personal assistant, and the company will cover your food, clothes, and accommodation, or go sleep under a bridge tonight.”
Faced with his childhood friend's stern, merciless expression, Cheng Yi happily chooses to bow for a handful of rice.
Not long afterward.
Cheng Yi is pinned down by the CEO and turned over and over, and finally realizes he's been had.
Cheng Yi: “Liar! Didn't you say you weren't interested in my looks?”
Shu Meng smiles slightly. “I'm not interested in your looks. But I've always been very interested in you.”
“Liar!”
Theme: No matter what, always believe the world is a beautiful place.
