He Doesn't Love Me Anymore. He's Faking It

My new novel, Marked by My Archenemy After a Second Gender Differentiation, is now live!

My upcoming novel, My Target Turned the Tables and Won Me Over, please add it to your list!

Blurb:

Movie star Yu Duo and little-known actor Fu Zihui broke up.

Nobody knew.

Movie star Yu Duo and little-known actor Fu Zihui switched bodies.

Nobody knew that, either.

Yu Duo: They'd have to be psychic to know.

After being single for years, Yu Duo finally found someone he liked and promptly snatched him up.

He'd wanted to settle down with him, but before long, Fu Zihui said coldly, "Let's break up."

Yu Duo: Weren't we in the honeymoon phase?

He still had feelings for him, but Yu Duo was a movie star, after all. He didn't try to stop Fu Zihui, letting him go off on his own.

Before the breakup, Fu Zihui was a nobody and had never sought fame or fortune while dating him.

After the breakup, Fu Zihui still didn't make a splash.

On his first day in Fu Zihui's body, Yu Duo was shoved in front of a camera without any preparation.

Director: His acting has improved by leaps and bounds.

Agent: Wow!

Archenemy: How did he do that?

Yu Duo, smugly: You should know who I am.

No matter how much he liked the other person, his own body was still the best. After getting Fu Zihui's phone, Yu Duo unlocked it with his own birthday and saw what was on it.

Yu Duo: This situation might not be as simple as I thought.

They'd only meant to switch bodies, but after one variety show, a photo of them playing in the water sent their once ice-cold CP soaring in popularity.

The rapidly growing CP fans: Aaaah, they're secretly in love with each other!

Yu Duo: Correction: they're openly in love with each other.

* No real people are the basis for these characters. Please don't associate them with real celebrities.

* I really am terrible at writing blurbs.

* I think these three stories look better listed together, and I hope you'll enjoy the "Rich Couple" too. (Waving flags and shouting!)

The Cold-Faced Hunk Who Redeems a Strawberry Charm at the Convenience Store

Xu Weiran has recently acquired three secrets.

The first is that his family rented a storefront and opened a convenience store. Other families opened supermarkets or hotels, but looking at his own tiny shop, just a few dozen square meters, Xu Weiran realized he had his first secret.

The second secret came one night while he was minding the store. He saw He Jing'an, the school's famous cold-faced hunk, pull out the coupons he'd saved up by buying milk there over the past few weeks and redeem them for the biggest strawberry pendant in the store.

Xu Weiran: "So much for the cold-faced hunk! Oh, so the school's icy heartthrob is secretly a flirt!"

"Don't worry," Xu Weiran said, giving He Jing'an a comradely pat on the shoulder. "I'll keep it a secret."

And just like that, Xu Weiran had his second secret.

As for his third secret, even Xu Weiran couldn't believe it: he could see the ghosts of the dead.

That ghost thought Xu Weiran couldn't see him and came into the store to steal again. When Xu Weiran ran outside and shouted for someone to catch the thief, everyone looked around, then stared at him like he was crazy.

Thinking he'd fail to catch the thief again, Xu Weiran was saved at the crucial moment when the sultry hunk He Jing'an appeared at the street corner. He stuck out one long leg, and the thief went sprawling with a thud, grimacing in pain.

That day, Xu Weiran acquired a fourth secret: He Jing'an could see ghosts too!

Later, Xu Weiran acquired a fifth secret.

Biting his lower lip, Xu Weiran finally blurted out, after a long while, "He, you flirt, I like you."

He Jing'an smiled at him and slowly drew closer. "How did you find out my secret?"

P.S. This should be a heartwarming story, something like an anthology (probably. I haven't written it yet, so everything is subject to change).

Marked by My Archenemy After a Second Gender Differentiation

Seeing the marks all over his body and the pheromones filling the room, Liang Que kicked Shang Songjin, who was asleep beside him, off the bed.

Liang Que: "I'm a beta, and you still slept with me?"

Shang Songjin: "You didn't say that last night."

Remembering what happened the night before, Liang Que grabbed the bedside lamp and hurled it at Shang Songjin.

Shang Songjin: "That lamp cost 5,500 yuan."

Liang Que, about to throw something else: ...

Shang Songjin: "But the hotel belongs to my family, so I can give you a discount. Two hundred and fifty."

In the end, Shang Songjin gave Liang Que a 100% discount, and Liang Que broke one of Shang Songjin's bones.

Liang Que and Shang Songjin had been famous archenemies since elementary school.

They competed over everything, from height to grades.

Now they'd ended up competing in bed, and Liang Que desperately tried to convince himself to quit.

But when he got the test results from the hospital, he saw that the box that should have said beta clearly said omega.

"Your case is quite unusual. I'm sure your middle school biology teacher explained it to you: it's called a second gender differentiation. When you're exposed to too much pheromone, your true classification emerges."

"Your test results show you've already been marked, which is why you're experiencing these symptoms."

Once someone undergoes a second gender differentiation and is marked, the only way to end the bond is to remove the gland. There is no normal way to separate them.

Hot-tempered Liang Que: "I'll have it removed."

Shang Songjin tried to talk him out of it. "Even if you became an omega through a second gender differentiation, you should know how much damage removing the gland would do to your body, right?"

"Why not stay with me instead? You even said I was great last time."

Liang Que: ...

After agreeing to stay with Shang Songjin, Liang Que, burning up with frequent heat cycles, mumbled in a daze, "So you weren't lying. Your rut back then was real."

Shang Songjin guiltily recalled how, as a boy, he used to go for intense runs to raise his body temperature and pretend to be in rut, all so Liang Que would hug him.

Who could have guessed that heat cycles really could happen once a week?

A seemingly irritable but soft-hearted recipient who only explodes at the top × an aloof-to-everyone-else top who turns on the charm for him

1. Lots of creative liberties.

2. There was no coercion that night. They both wanted it.

3. Writing this because it seemed fun. More to come~
