The Boyfriend I Found in the Sewer

The bonus chapters are out! My dear readers, find them in my profile. [One-sentence synopsis] A monster top who loses confidence after his face is ruined secretly cooks, washes dishes, and does laundry for his gorgeous, utterly helpless bottom, worrying himself sick over him every day, until his beloved catches him in the act. [Excerpt One] Lin Yanzhi leans an elbow on the sofa, tilts his head, and curls up sideways in a little mountain of cushions. His long legs are tucked onto the couch, and he watches Qin Wu come and go through half-lidded eyes. He looks just like a big cat woken from a nap, lazily flicking its tail as it watches its prey, seemingly trying to decide where to sink its teeth in. But if Lu Qing, the psychiatrist, were here, he’d probably just scoff. This isn’t some lazy big cat. It’s a giant python coiled in a tree, its vertical pupils cold, its forked tongue flicking as it waits for the right moment to swallow its long-awaited prey whole. [Excerpt Two] Liu Qinxiao once said that if Zhan Feng hadn’t met Lin Yanzhi, the result would surely have been a tragedy, and if Lin Yanzhi hadn’t met Zhan Feng, the result would surely have been a calamity. After hearing this, Zhan Feng only laughed it off. There aren’t that many “what ifs” in the world. There’s only fate, and plans made long in advance. [Reading guide] *Zhan Feng × Lin Yanzhi *Bottom-focused, age gap with the top older, mutually obsessive. A twisted, sweet short-to-medium-length story. Don’t be fooled by the blurb. If there’s angst, I’m a dog. *Devoted, domestic, loyal, obsessive monster top × unmotivated, high-IQ, straightforward, beautiful lunatic bottom (yes, that’s a very long list of traits) Please add my next novel to your collection! That Miaojiang Boy Is So Bewitching! Ge Shao has been both terribly unlucky and incredibly lucky lately. He’s so unlucky that his luxury car, worth millions, breaks down eight times a day, always in the middle of nowhere. He’s so lucky that he once found a phone left behind by a mole from a rival company while using the restroom. Thanks to this mix of bad and good luck, on his thirtieth birthday, he receives a human-shaped package from deep in the mountains. The boy stands in front of a smoking engine, his arched brows as dazzling as the silver bells around his neck. “Brother! I found you!” Ge Shao, also known as “Brother”: Who are you? After that day, Ge Shao seems to get even more unlucky, now that the boy won’t leave him alone. He sets an alarm to catch an early morning flight, but when he wakes up the sun is high in the sky. Then he turns his head and sees a phone on the cabinet, crushed to pieces by brute force. The boy crouches beside the bed, his pretty almond-shaped eyes shining as if he’s waiting to be praised. Ge Shao looks at the deep dents on a phone supposedly tough enough to withstand a tank: “…” He doesn’t want to praise him, but he doesn’t dare not to. “…Great job.” Chu Yao smiles, his eyes crinkling. He’s impossibly handsome. Where Ge Shao can’t see, the boy named Chu Yao is like a mountain, blocking the hands of everyone trying to steal his destiny. The silver bells around the boy’s neck make a faint rustling sound, like butterfly wings. They belong to his life-bound Gu creature. Dream Butterfly, the butterfly from Zhuangzi’s dream. Later, Ge Shao thinks someone must have cast a love Gu on him. Otherwise, how could he find Chu Yao adorable even when he’s playing with bugs and snakes? So adorable that he wouldn’t mind being under a spell. Twelve years older than the boy, he goes to the legal department in the middle of the night and prepares a dating agreement that meets the highest standards of gentlemanly conduct in every line. The next day, he holds the agreement and leans down to gently kiss the corner of Chu Yao’s beautiful eye. He says, “You like me. I accept.” Chu Yao’s eyes turn red, and under the man’s deeply affectionate gaze, he nearly bursts into tears. “Brother! That would be immoral!” Ge Shao: What? Later, he chases the slippery boy around, holding up a paternity test proving they aren’t related. Reading guide: 1. A powerful Gu master, beloved by bugs and the five venomous creatures, as the bottom × a not-so-domineering but very flirtatious older CEO as the top. 2. A clingy, gooey little rice cake of a younger brother in front of the top, but a terrifying villain behind his back. 3. They aren’t related. The top grew up with the bottom before losing his memory, and the boy considers him his older brother. 4. Older top, strong leads, sweet and satisfying, mutual pampering. 5. Plot and romance move forward hand in hand. Theme: All hardships will eventually give way to perseverance.
