Blurb: Cheerful childish bottom × cold, obsessive top

Everyone at Qi University knows the two most handsome guys in the computer science department can't stand each other.

The day their counselor forced them to share a dorm room, Shi Yao was dumped by the person he'd been dating online for three years.

His rival, Chen Cang, was cold and merciless, sparing even fewer words when they argued. Shi Yao couldn't stand him and was too miserable to care about anything else.

But before long, he spotted a familiar figure at the anime club's recruitment booth.

Long black hair, a cold expression, mature and alluring style.

Wasn't that... his online crush?!

The other person didn't seem remotely heartbroken over the breakup. Acting on impulse, Shi Yao decided to pretend to be a female freshman and investigate why they'd broken up.

*

Chen Cang, a veteran cross-dresser.

One day, he received an unusual friend request.

"Hi, senpai~ Can I ask you about the anime club? QAQ [cute] [adorable]"

Cutesy words, tildes, and adorable emoticons, every last one. Unfortunately, the blue star avatar at the top was completely at odds with the person's affected, overly deliberate tone.

Chen Cang: "..."

-

In the shining mirror, two figures, one tall and one short, were reflected.

Shi Yao wore a long wig. Held from behind, he was pinned in front of the sink.

Chen Cang gently lifted his chin and slowly applied lipstick to his lips.

"If I'd known you liked it, why would I have gone to such lengths to hide it?"

The man chuckled softly.

#What do I do when my ex-girlfriend is a cross-dresser and wants me to dress up too?#

#Say yes and you get a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Say no and you get nothing.#

Veteran cross-dresser × cross-dressing newbie

The top has mild gender dysphoria, and both characters cross-dress

Forced to Become My Rival's Little Slave

Immortal lord Shu Huaiyu was clad in white as pure as snow, beautiful beyond compare. He once reached the pinnacle of the Nine Continents with his sword, earning the admiration of countless people for defying the laws of heaven.

But he was gravely wounded while risking his life to vanquish demons, losing all his cultivation. Before he could return, he was falsely accused of having close ties with the Demon Lord.

Cast out of the immortal sect and abandoned by everyone, Shu Huaiyu had nowhere to go. He collapsed in a pool of blood, devastated.

His former rival found him and took him in.

The Demon Lord Qin Ruyi was bloodthirsty, with countless skeletons strewn beneath his followers. Anyone from an immortal sect who fell into his hands was doomed.

The immortal lord thought endless humiliation awaited him. Instead, Qin Ruyi cleaned him up and carefully tended his wounds.

-

To this day, they remain the greatest obstacles on each other's paths to immortality. They once fought to the death and both suffered grievous losses.

Shu Huaiyu assumed the demon lord had ulterior motives and calmly prepared for revenge. Instead, Qin Ruyi tossed him a contract:

Serve Qin Ruyi tea and water.

Sing and play the flute for Qin Ruyi.

Fan him and keep him warm at night?

Shu Huaiyu: ?

You must be trying to get yourself killed.

Later, when everyone's life in the immortal sect rested in one man's hands, they had no choice but to kneel and bow their heads. Only then did they see the immortal lord they had once cruelly abandoned, sitting calmly in Demon Lord Qin Ruyi's arms, looking down on all living beings.

Defiant to the death, aloof beauty of a kitten × calculating, scheming old hound

The Robot I Abandoned Came Looking for Me

Ning Sui owned a robot with realistic skin, a gentle and considerate personality, and exceptional good looks. It had almost every quality of a perfect boyfriend.

Unfortunately, it was only meant to do housework.

Ning Sui's friends all thought he was wasting a beautiful thing. They joked that if they ever got the chance, they wouldn't mind having a romance with a robot.

-

Maybe there was a glitch in its System. Lately, Ning Sui's robot kept calling him "baby" with loving affection, kissing his cheek like a lover, and tenderly wishing him good night.

At first, Ning Sui thought nothing of it. But his indulgence seemed to make the robot increasingly out of control, carrying out one by one all the things only couples would do.

At last, Ning Sui recognized the deep, intense love in the robot's eyes. This wasn't something programmed into it from the start!

His heart in turmoil, he fled and found a way to put a stop to everything: send the robot back to the manufacturer and restore its factory settings.

On the day the manufacturer came to collect it, the robot gazed quietly at its owner without offering a single word in its own defense. Its eyes were filled with unmistakable reluctance, as if it wanted to engrave its owner forever into its System.

Ning Sui wavered.

*

One early morning, someone knocked on Ning Sui's door. Still half asleep, he got up to answer it.

He never imagined that the robot he had abandoned would be standing at his door.

After monsters returned, the city's systems were completely paralyzed. Yet the robot stood before him in immaculate clothes, its smile elegant and cruel.

It said, "I gave you a chance, sir."
