He Keeps Coaxing Me Not to Cry

A sinister, snake-like, perverted top x a hot, handsome bottom. Lin Cheng is certain that the man he's been in a relationship with for ten years, his husband, has cheated on him. The other man is the entertainment industry's newly crowned prince: a tall, handsome young man from a wealthy family. He has to admit, the affair is a reasonable match. His husband hasn't lowered his standards. But someone has to answer for the horns on his head, so Lin Cheng storms into the celebration banquet and confronts them in person. To his surprise, the other man calls him by name. Only then does Lin Cheng remember that the dirty, loathsome little schoolmate who used to hide in the corner and spy on him back in school has the same tear mole and gloomy eyes as the man in front of him. In front of everyone there, he can't help laughing. "Is it working down there now? You still dare to seduce someone else's husband?" Qiao Yuhe doesn't get angry. He just smiles, his narrow eyes curving. "It can't be fixed." "So, Lin Cheng, you're going to take responsibility for that." Lin Cheng made Qiao Yuhe "infertile," and Qiao Yuhe made Lin Cheng "lose his family." That's fair. But Qiao Yuhe insists Lin Cheng pay him back for the thirteen-year gap between them. After that great fire, Qiao Yuhe developed a strange illness. He can't touch body heat or eat hot food, has to shower with cold water, and wherever he goes must have the air conditioning running at full blast around the clock. Until he sees Lin Cheng again and discovers that the illness doesn't affect him around this enemy. Perfect. Put a collar on him and keep him as a puppy. His enemy is beautiful and fierce, and feels amazing to touch. But later, Qiao Yuhe never imagined Lin Cheng would cry for him. He never imagined that seeing it would turn him on, either. After that, there was no stopping them. * Primarily told from the bottom's perspective. Content warnings: 1. The top is impotent at first, but he's very good at being a shameless flirt. The bottom used to be a top but is forced to become a bottom. The bottom is not sexually pure; the top is. 2. The top seeks revenge at the beginning, and the bottom leaves his marriage right away. Neither lead cheats on a spouse or breaks up someone else's relationship. The author can make the premise work, so please don't get hung up on the setup. Happy ending. 3. Lots of angst and crude language. The characters aren't perfect. Not recommended for readers who are possessive about their favorite character. 4. The entertainment industry is just the backdrop, with almost no scenes in it. Includes wealthy-family infighting and domestic drama. ***Coming next: The Flawed One Comforted by the Top Alpha*** When Lu Zai first took office as Chief Executive, two questions were on everyone's lips: First, how could a third-tier Esper become Chief Executive? And a defective one at that? Second, how could anyone have a face that beautiful? The reality was that in less than two years, of the 90,000 Espers in the capital district, half served under him and followed his every order. The other half were in prison, serving life sentences. The Espers respected and feared him. They also hated him for betraying his own kind, but in the end, they all had to submit to him. In 2032, a massive geomagnetic storm exceeding G5 swept across the globe. The "Key of God" went out of control, and the world teetered on the brink of ruin. Chief Executive Lu Zai was given an urgent mission: escort an S-class secret to headquarters. S-class secret, Yan Chenqi: I can't believe it! My wife came to pick me up in person?! Mutants, cores, special forces, the abyss, the Pangu Project... Retired soldier Yan Chenqi thought all that was behind him. These days, all he did besides breathe was follow idols, and his sole hobby was the virtual idol Zed. But everyone knew Zed's face had been modeled after the fearsome Chief Executive Lu. They didn't dare make it too accurate, of course. Even a thirty-percent resemblance was enough to set the world alight. Then the door was smashed open, and the good times came to an end. Not only was Yan Chenqi's room, packed with his wife's merchandise, burned down by the wife herself, he also received a kick from the Chief Executive right to the face. Yan Chenqi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and grinned cheekily. "Your foot must hurt after kicking me, Chief Executive. I'll massage it for you tonight. No need to thank me." Everyone there: Did we hear that right?! Is this guy trying to get himself killed?!! Yan Chenqi refused to give up. "I'm the only one who can soothe your genetic sequence." As everyone stared in disbelief, Lu Zai raised his chin slightly. "Fine, as long as you aren't too weak-legged to do your job tomorrow." A cocky, handsome top who hears all the bad things about his wife but brainwashes himself into falling completely in love with him x a powerful bottom who's high-ranking but has low defenses, a porcelain beauty who falls apart and gets injured in a flash. Theme: Time and love can always heal wounds.
