Next up: "After a Straightforward Man Gets Involved with a Miao Youth"

Yun Ze was a spirited young man from the 21st century, and one day he suddenly transmigrated!

He'd just gone to sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he was in a completely new world. He had become the rich young master Yun Ze from an "alternate world," who had the same name and looked remarkably like him.

How could a suit and tie compare to a tight shirt and bean-toe shoes for comfort? And how could neat hair beat a flamboyant nonconformist hairstyle?

Even in another world, he was going to stick to his spirited-young-guy lifestyle and become the face of the movement!

As the domineering CEO of the new world, Su Cai naturally had no interest in the vulgar beauties of the past.

Shy puppy boys and tsundere kitten boys? They didn't seem very interesting.

Then one day, an empty can Yun Ze had tossed away after pouring it over his head hit him.

The man standing before him wore a red-and-black tight shirt and hole-ridden bean-toe shoes. He was nothing like anyone Su Cai had met before. And what made him even more irresistible was that he was the only one who dared to hit him with a beer bottle.

Oh, this man was just ridiculously charming.

He walked up, lifted the man's chin, and gave him a half-smile. Only then did he see the disdain in the man's eyes.

Hmph, man, you're playing with fire.

The reply he got was:

In this dazzling world, don't get cocky if you don't have the skills.

Young Guy: "That's all? On the street running north, south, east, and west, ask around and find out who's your daddy."

CEO: "Man, the way you talk is really interesting." (Three parts mockery, seven parts cold indifference.)

The spirited guy makes his debut through a talent show, starting a brand-new trend that sweeps the nation.

"Spread your wings and fly, be a stylish hoodlum. No need to hurry, we've got all the time in the world."

The CEO suffers a barrage of earthy pickup lines from the spirited guy and gets more and more embarrassingly cheesy.

"Your captivating features are the beginning of my crimes."

A new down-to-earth trend sweeps the nation.

The love story between a spirited young guy and a domineering CEO.

A spirited guy focused on his career, making his debut and promoting cheesy slang.

A CEO determined to win the spirited guy's heart.

A love diary of two lovable idiots.

All this and more, in this book.

Content warnings:

1. Same-sex marriage is legal; the setting is fictional.

2. The viewpoint changes.

3. The domineering CEO takes inspiration from old-school Mary Sue romances, while the spirited young guy draws on internet videos. Any similarities are my responsibility.

4. There is a successful reversal of the usual top and bottom roles (the CEO can't stand being the bottom forever, and the couple take turns pampering each other; there are plenty of scenes setting this up, and it's just the couple's play).

Don't tell me I was young and reckless. I only know that the winner is king.

The blade isn't sharp and the horse is too thin; you're not even qualified to fight me.

Here's my card, swipe it as much as you like.

Man, you'll never escape my grasp as long as you live.

This is the story of two lovable idiots finding their way back to normal.

[I've seriously prepared 70,000 words. Please add this to your favorites ੭ ˙ᗜ˙ ੭ The story next door, "Not a Stepmom, but a Wife," also wants your support ^_^]

Fang Mo is a straight man who has always been a pushover. Now he's terminally ill, unable to live and unable to die.

With nowhere else to turn, he goes to Miao territory to find a chance at survival. But he's terribly unlucky: a scammer takes his travel money, his phone gets stolen, and he nearly dies in the miasma-filled forest near a Gu village.

Fortunately, Heaven doesn't want him dead. A gentle young man with smiling eyes rescues him.

The youth is called Yan Nanchun, like a warm ray of sunlight that suddenly shines through the miasma-filled forest. He finds doctors and medicine for Fang Mo and looks after him attentively. He's utterly flawless.

Fang Mo can't help thinking, What a good person. Though there's something odd about the way he looks at me.

Once his illness starts improving, Fang Mo wants to return home for treatment. That's when the darkness and obsession hidden beneath the young man's warmth are fully revealed.

Deep in the night, rain falls and miasma swirls.

The youth coils around him like a snake, tightly locking his wrist and caressing the small cinnabar mark that has quietly appeared on his waist before kissing it softly.

Looking wronged and pitiful, he murmurs tenderly:

"Why are you running away? Did I do something wrong?"

"Brother A-Mo..."

Among the Miao, there is a love Gu called Shared Heart, Shared Fate.

It is born from obsession, binds two hearts together, links their pain, can cure stubborn illnesses, and can neutralize all poisons.

Once implanted, it binds their lives and deaths and lets them share each other's thoughts.

From then on, they cannot flee even if they go their separate ways, nor avoid each other even if mountains and seas lie between them.

Bound together in a desperate tangle, tied together for life.

Yan Nanchun's life has never known spring.

He was born in the depths of winter, when a rare heavy snowfall fell over his village. His mother became pregnant before marriage and died soon after giving birth to him. From childhood, his people regarded him as a bringer of disaster and a monster, shunning him in fear.

They despised him and named him "Hardly Spring." Yet because of his unusual fate, they had no choice but to raise him and train him to guard the village.

He held a high position, yet stood alone.

His heart was lonely, and every year was cold.

Until Fang Mo barged into his endless winter.

He planted the Shared Heart, Shared Fate Gu, and pursued his obsession alone. In the end, they shared one heart, and the two of them stayed together for life.

Later, they left the isolated village and returned to a small city in the south.

That night, beneath the lovely moonlight, Fang Mo gently brushed his fingers over Yan Nanchun's brows and eyes.

He said, "Hardly Spring is such a bitter name. How about changing it to Nanchun?"

Yan Nanchun paused, then nodded and said yes.

From then on, the south was always warm, and every year brought spring.

At last, his long life ahead had its own one-of-a-kind spring.

Yan Nanchun keeps his spirit snake Niannian wrapped around his wrist and carries a box of candy, sticking close to Fang Mo.

Fang Mo can't help sighing. "What do you want, exactly?"

The youth bites down on a piece of candy and lowers his head to kiss him. "I want to share one heart with Brother A-Mo, never part, and never betray each other."

1. Not your typical forceful romance, more love than coercion, maybe pseudo-coercion?

2. The puppy top is still a top, and the mad-dog top is also a top. The honest straight man gets thoroughly eaten up.

3. Mutual devotion and salvation, happy ending, with a little star-crossed love.

4. Semi-fictional setting, with a little research. This is entirely my own take on a Miao village, and might mix in traits from other ethnic minorities. Think of it as a Gu village where different peoples live together.

5. The recipient has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The Gu cured him, though there are a few scenes of him being weak in the later chapters.
