The Tianxian Special Forces got saddled with a "rich kid building up his resume": a fair, delicate-looking young master with an F combat rating and some mysterious illness that made him pass out from pain on the same day every month.
The devil instructor, Sarenko, declared, "If I let a loser like you pass the assessment, I'll go give myself ten lashes in the punishment room."

On the higher-dimensional battlefield, every soul develops an ability from the core of its desires. Yang Yu's psychic ability, however, was a tiny, chubby little mushroom that glowed green.
"I suggest you name your ability 'Useless.'"
"Zero defense? Its only attack is spitting out a few spores? When danger comes, you have to root yourself in the ground and can't even run?!"
But whether he was facing his teammates' sneers, Captain Sarenko's death glare, or S-rank contaminants that drove people insane, Yang Yu stayed remarkably calm. Very calm. :)
*
No one expected Yang Yu to pass every assessment by the skin of his teeth;
During simulated combat, Yang Yu would lead the team's bottom-ranked misfits to fight their way out;
And during the higher-dimensional invasion, strands of fluorescent-green mycelium would save one teammate after another. The tentacled S-rank contaminant even folded itself into a well-behaved little octopus in front of the glowing mushroom...
No one knew that Yang Yu was an agent in the Alliance Security Department. He had once spent three years undercover, bringing down the Star Alliance's largest contamination-crystal smuggling network, but had been seriously wounded in the process. Even now, he carried the highest bounty on the dark web: an S-rank ability, skilled in brainwashing and inducing hallucinations, codename "Jianshouqing."

Sarenko: Ten lashes. I keep my word.
Yang Yu: You're so persistent. I don't mind if you hit me. :)
A brain-controller who never lifts a finger himself + more cunning than a cloud of spores + gentle beauty shou x cold, roguish, top-tier fighter + doting husband + knitwear-loving Russian gong
1. 1v1, happy ending, devoted to each other with no other romantic interests, plot-to-romance ratio 7:3, a little ensemble cast, serious tone.
2. Cute and weird Lovecraftian-style monsters appear.
3. The inspirations are a mixed bag, roughly Beksinski, Philip K. Dick, tabletop role-playing games, Hunter x Hunter, plus some of my own sci-fi worldbuilding. I'll try to explain things scientifically; if I can't, dimensional compression will have to do.
4. I changed the title in a fit of rage after eating stir-fried porcini mushrooms for a month.
Upcoming danmei novel: Imprisoned Fireflies, Borrowed Flame
During the summer vacation of their second year of high school, two boys decided to trade lives.
Jiang Chubai was a math genius. His father had run off after racking up a huge debt, leaving only his elderly grandmother to tend their vineyard.
Chen Yu's father was a down-on-his-luck art-film director, and his mother had remarried into a wealthy family. At home, he was no longer allowed to touch a camera.
So Chen Yu secretly paid Jiang Chubai to attend math olympiad classes in his place, while he stayed with Jiang's family and filmed a documentary in the town.
But after Chen Yu's parents learned the truth, they flew into a rage and smashed his camera. Then they acknowledged Jiang Chubai, who had taken Chen Yu's place and come first in the exam, as their godson. Chen Yu stormed out and never contacted his family again.
*
Years later, the struggling art-film director Chen Yu and Jiang Chubai, now a rising star in quantitative investment, meet again.
Theme: Complete love gives rise to a soul made whole, flesh and blood.
Captain, the little mushroom has been autistic in the simulator for three days, and the spores are falling like incontinent tears!
Salenko took off his training uniform: I'll do it.
In the dark corner of the string field, a milky white fungus was pulled out next to the small fluorescent green mushroom. The umbrella cover was unfolded, and a pair of furry Samoyed ears stood up on it.
Puppy Mushroom gently touched the green umbrella cover with its ice-blue mental tentacles: Why are you crying?
Xiao Mushroom buried half of his body in the soil: ... You don't collect Ershi's author's column.
