After the Scumbag Gong's Crematorium, I Pretended with the Sweet Younger Guy and Fell for Real

[Completed. The full series costs less than 2 yuan. Thank you for supporting the official release! Coming soon: The Cross-Dressing Master's Substitute White Moonlight (Reborn), opening on December 8. Scroll down for the blurb.] Blurb: Xia Zhiyan has loved Fu Shiyu for ten whole years, ever since the summer solstice when they first met at sixteen, right up to today. When he knocked on Fu Shiyu's door holding a medical report that suggested he might have stomach cancer, he wanted even a little comfort in his fear, no matter how humbly he had to ask for it. Instead, he saw... A stranger with an arm around Fu Shiyu. They had known each other for ten years and been together for eight. Fu Shiyu had said he would marry him. So Xia Zhiyan had put up with Fu Shiyu's coldness and ignored the rumors, believing that even if they tormented each other, they would still spend their whole lives together. But in that moment, he woke up. Fu Shiyu, however, had red eyes and dropped to his knees, begging him not to leave. To escape Fu Shiyu's relentless pursuit, Xia Zhiyan impulsively asked someone nearby to enter a fake marriage with him. Only afterward did he realize... That person hadn't been such a random choice after all. On a rainy night when he forgot his umbrella, at the hospital while they waited in line, and every time Fu Shiyu came after him... Qi Luoming would always happen to be by his side, quietly helping him through his troubles. And this Qi Luoming had originally just been a “student” whose name he couldn't even remember. At last, Fu Shiyu went so far as to chase him to school and disrupt his work. Qi Luoming, with his innocent, harmless face, punched the scumbag crooked across the nose. “Teacher, can we make that marriage certificate real?” Even when his “old back” ached so badly he couldn't get out of bed, Xia Zhiyan still couldn't figure out how he had let such a “little guy” get the better of him. Qi Luoming turned away to wipe the evidence from his thieving-cat mouth, then came back with a flattering smile to rub Xia Zhiyan's back. “Teacher, I'm not little anymore.” It turned out that every chance encounter had been carefully planned by someone. Cool, gentle university teacher bottom, Xia Zhiyan x sweet-looking but secretly dark, domestic top, puppy who turns into a wolfdog, Qi Luoming Content warnings: 1. The setting allows same-sex marriage, but the bottom's body is perfectly healthy. He's stunningly beautiful and will live to a ripe old age! 2. Younger top. The bottom is a 26-year-old university teacher, and the top is a 20-year-old university student, but there is no actual teacher-student relationship between them. 3. The bottom has had an ex. The top is completely devoted to him in both body and mind, a clingy, sweet puppy and a devoted husband with good morals. He is very good at taking care of people, and his scheming wolfdog side is used entirely to protect the bottom (and get frisky with him, nope!). 4. [Important] Xia Zhiyan x Qi Luoming. The official top and bottom are extremely sweet!!! The scumbag chases his wife all the way to the crematorium and gets reduced to ashes! 5. Expect melodrama and a little bit of a love rivalry. *Enters the premium section on November 2. Chapters moved to premium start at Chapter 24. If you've already read them, please don't buy them again. Next up: The Cross-Dressing Master's Substitute White Moonlight (Reborn), 1v1, happy ending. See my profile for more content warnings. Please add it to your reading list! Both leads are reborn, and both are beauties: brave, kind, devoted merfolk prince bottom who pursues love x beautiful, powerful, tragic cross-dressing master top. Blurb: As the most beautiful and highest-ranking young prince of the merfolk, Na Sheng planned his moves and won every battle from afar in his previous life. At last, he seized the throne for the one he loved, only to fall to a hidden arrow on the day of his triumph. When he opened his eyes again, he discovered he had been reborn on the day after his transformation period ended. Merfolk have no sex from birth. After falling in love for the first time, they transform into the opposite sex from the person they love, so they can be a matching pair. One love in a lifetime, forever. Back then, at the edge of Wujing Sea, there had been a figure in red. One glance was enough to leave him awestruck. After his transformation period, he grew legs and went ashore. When he found the “woman” he had set his heart on, he discovered that this person was Mu Yihan, more than half a head taller than him. In his previous life, even after getting the person's sex wrong, his merfolk devotion and stubbornness led him to throw himself headlong toward Mu Yihan. He helped Mu Yihan claim the throne and spent his whole life as a substitute for the white moonlight in Mu Yihan's heart. People said merfolk had cold blood, but after living a second life, he finally understood: it was the human heart that could never be warmed. The merfolk honor the young above all. Now that he had a second chance, he could live a carefree life in the Dragon Silk Palace beneath the water, even if he could never fall in love with anyone else. But who could have expected... Mu Yihan would come looking for him! * Mu Yihan spent his whole life searching for that vanished white moonlight, willing to seize the throne for someone who no longer existed. He kept Na Sheng, who looked remarkably like his white moonlight, by his side, yet refused to admit it and could not forgive himself for falling for him. Until Na Sheng's spiritual power was exhausted and he died in Mu Yihan's arms, his body slowly reverting to reveal a merfolk tail covered in iridescent scales... Na Sheng never saw the new emperor, who had just reached the pinnacle of power, clutching a merfolk's corpse, weeping blood in a frenzy, and turning gray overnight. * You traveled thousands of miles for me, so I will follow you into the depths of the sea. Theme: Always believe in kindness and true love.
