Blurb

Cunning, refined businessman gong x sweet, puppy-like genius shou

Wen Liangcheng is a computer genius with looks and intelligence off the charts, yet he has the emotional intelligence of a rock and social anxiety.

During university military training, someone started shipping him with the refined, scholarly-looking instructor. And honestly, something did seem off. The instructor clearly favored him way too much. He shielded him from the sun, and when Wen Liangcheng quietly said he was tired, the instructor called a break for the whole group. Whenever Wen turned around, there would be a water bottle with its cap already unscrewed, waiting for him.

Wen Liangcheng was dumbfounded. Were all university instructors this gentle? But when someone else so much as moved, the refined instructor would make them run twenty laps. That's when Wen Liangcheng realized the instructor was only gentle with him.

With his nonexistent emotional intelligence, he naturally couldn't make heads or tails of it. Then one day, he and the instructor ran into each other in the bathroom. The instructor stared at him in shock and slowly managed to say, "Y-you're a guy!"

Wen Liangcheng hitched up his pants and looked down. Wasn't that obvious?

But his mild social anxiety left him unable to get a single word out. He simply ran away. Still, he understood why the instructor had favored him so much: Wen was socially anxious and barely spoke, and he looked delicate, so people mistook him for a girl. It wasn't the first time. He thought that would be the end of it, but the instructor's favoritism only grew.

One day, after military training had completely ended, the refined instructor appeared in front of him in a suit and tie. In a low voice, he coaxed Wen into taking off his glasses for him.

Wen Liangcheng thought it was no trouble at all, but somehow, something felt off...

A bombshell of a story has recently rocked the capital's inner circle: the ruthless and shrewd Third Master Qiao, who can pull every string in the capital, has been swindled out of millions by a little hacker, more than once.

But in the end, someone in the know said, "You people don't know a thing. Third Master Qiao is just spoiling his wife." So when people saw Third Master Qiao in a T-shirt, shorts, and slippers, pushing a little shopping cart through the market, with an absurdly handsome puppy-like boy trotting along behind him, they were so shocked that they ran faster than rabbits. They felt like they had seen something they weren't supposed to. Would they be silenced...?

Little scene:

An interview about the love story of top programmer Wen Liangcheng and Third Master Qiao, a powerful figure from a wealthy Beijing family.

Qiao Huan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with an elegant air. "Reporter, watch your words. There's no hatred, only love."

The reporter wiped away a bead of cold sweat. "Y-yes, Third Master Qiao. May I ask..."

Before he could finish, the young man in Qiao's arms spoke up. "Huan-ge, I'm hungry."

Qiao Huan ruffled his young boyfriend's hair. "Then we'll stop the interview. I'll go home and cook for you."

Reporter: "..."

Daily updates, before eleven every night! A sweet romance, with plenty of sugar and flowers!

Reading guide: ① The gong falls for the shou at first sight.

② The gong is eight years older than the shou.

③ The shou is scatterbrained and naturally goofy, always a little dazed (and has the potential to be a bit of a crybaby).

④ The shou is everyone's darling, a puppy-like boyfriend.

⑤ The whole story is a sweet treat. The computer-related content, competitions, and teams are mixed with the author's own imagination, so don't overthink it! The instructors in the story are not soldiers and have nothing to do with the military!

Someone Up There Has My Back: Blurb

Upcoming danmei novel, Someone Up There Has My Back (Entertainment Industry)!

Younger man + semi-raising-him setup

Lu Yi had been studying fortune-telling and divination since childhood. And, surprisingly, he was sometimes spot-on. Everyone in the village, whether they were breaking ground or getting married, relied on Lu Yi's fingers and his silver tongue that could talk a dead man back to life.

But though he was a bona fide charlatan, he also had a dream of becoming a star. After fiddling with his fingers and shaking his little turtle-shell divination tool, he figured out that this year he'd meet a benefactor who would make his career shine. So he packed up and headed for the capital, bound for the Beijing Film Academy, and proudly became... an extra.

The little drifter in Beijing was already struggling to find his next meal. Then, just when things couldn't get worse, he found another mouth to feed in a garbage heap.

Looking at the filthy little kid huddled and trembling inside a huge sack, Lu Yi said mysteriously, "I can see that fate has brought us together. Come with me from now on."

Outside a welfare home

Lu Yi: "Ma'am, I found a kid. If I give him to you, do I get a reward?"

The woman: "Where'd this moron come from...?"

Lu Yi shook his head as he looked at the filthy kid. "Looks like fate has tied us together for good. From now on, you'll take my surname. I'll call you Lu Xiaogou."

The filthy kid: "..."

After ten years of scraping by, Lu Yi finally got a chance, through a twist of fate, to attend a star-studded awards ceremony as an obscure supporting actor. When the host announced the event's heavyweight presenter, the head of Xingyao Media...

Even though he was standing with the security guards, Lu Yi recognized the man onstage at a glance, surrounded by spotlights and a sea of people. He was wearing a suit and tie, a promising young man, and handsome enough to blind Lu Yi.

"What the hell! Lu Xiaogou!"

"Holy crap, that's my son!!!"

The security guard beside him quietly spoke into his radio. "Send over a few people. Some idiot's gotten into the venue."

Irreverent, smooth-talking, streetwise fortune-teller shou x serious, cold, foolishly stubborn gong who says one thing and means another

Little scene:

Lu Yi, looking like a proper gentleman, grinned at the man across from him, who sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed and a wineglass in hand. "Be a good boy, son. You have to hear me out. I didn't abandon you on purpose back then. There was a real reason."

"Who signed Lu Yi?" The man across from him made a call without another word.

"I knew you'd remember how I raised you. No need to call and ask, I'll tell you who it was..."

"Fire them immediately. And as for Lu Yi, put him on ice."

Lu Yi: "..."

Damn it, you ungrateful little brat!!!

Another dark and windy night, someone kicked open the door to Lu Yi's tiny rental room. The man, reeking of alcohol, clung to him and cried like a pitiful stray puppy. "Why don't you want me anymore...?"

Lu Yi: "..."

No. 7 Mansion: Blurb

The year Ye Zang turned twenty-three, he took over a museum belonging to the main branch of the Ye family, as family tradition dictated. No. 7 Mansion was usually deserted, and rumors that it was haunted kept even more people away. The members of the collateral branches all thought Ye Zang was the least favored member of the main family, so they had dumped this mess on him. But only Ye Zang knew that No. 7 Mansion was a place the Ye family had guarded since the time of their ancestors. The antiques inside were uncanny. In other words, they were alive. Over time, these objects had developed consciousness and spirits. Some spirits were good, others evil, so Ye Zang's job was to keep an eye on them and stop them from harming ordinary people.

He would sometimes chat with the bronze cauldron or listen to the poignant tale of the kingfisher-feather hairpin. Hearing these antiques talk about distant eras was quite entertaining. However, Jiazi Storage at No. 7 Mansion was a place the previous curator had repeatedly warned him never to set foot in. They said a violently evil spirit was sealed inside.

Then one day, by a twist of fate, Ye Zang broke in and released a being so dangerous that merely approaching him would leave you plagued by nightmares for days. And then...

Ye Zang coldly watched the man kneeling before him on one knee, wearing a jade crown and a dark robe. Apart from being handsome, he was...

"A Zang, you smell so nice."

"A Zang, let me borrow a little of your life force to extend my thousand-year-old soul. Just one bite, all right?"

"A Zang~"

What an infuriating pest!

Ye Zang fought the urge to kick him to death and began searching online: What modern tool can smash an ancient imperial jade seal into tiny pieces?

Beautiful, tragic, cool-headed curator shou x irreverent spirit of an imperial jade seal gong
