Please Spend on Your Little One!

My next serial will be I Swear I Don’t Love the Little Angel Halo. Please add it to your favorites, cuties!!! Blurb: Fu Niannian is the only unwanted, left-behind little one in the Little One-Raising App. Fu Niannian, doing his best to survive during the day: “I don’t have a master, but I can manage all by myself!” Fu Niannian, curled up under the covers at night: “Waaah, where is Niannian’s master?” The planner, heartbroken, packed him up and sent him off in the middle of the night. Chu Huaizhou had just finished a late-night meeting. In the time it took him to sneeze, his phone had automatically downloaded some no-name app and helpfully spent a yuan to select a character. Chu Huaizhou: “...” Looks like I really should turn off face-recognition payments. I might as well uninstall this junk app, too. Meanwhile, Fu Niannian, sleepily startled awake, whimpered, “Are you Niannian’s master?” Chu Huaizhou’s hand paused over the uninstall button. Maybe he could wait a little longer... At first Chu Huaizhou: If you have time to play games, you might as well start a new project. Fu Niannian: It’s okay if Master doesn’t buy anything. Niannian can fill his tummy with carrots. Before long Fu Niannian: “Master! Niannian wants this! Niannian wants that! Niannian wants everything!” Chu Huaizhou kept diligently building his business, never hesitating to enable one-click payments. As long as he made money fast enough, Fu Niannian would always be the richest little one in the game. He asked for nothing in return for his affection. Until one day, the little one he had spoiled and raised grew up, stepped out of the game, and stood before him, blushing and fidgeting. “Thank you, Master.” Chu Huaizhou: “Thank you isn’t enough.” Fu Niannian widened his eyes. “?” After a long silence, Chu Huaizhou said, “You have to give yourself to me.” A friendly reminder: * The Little One-Raising App invites [adult] rich people from various planes to adopt its little ones. The top 0.01% kind of rich! * There will be no romance for Niannian before he comes of age. No dating before you’re old enough! Advance blurb: Tiantian is the adorable little angel of the Little One-Raising App. His most precious possession is the little angel halo above his head. It isn’t until he meets his master that he learns that disabled angels don’t have little angel halos. How pitiful! Tiantian: “Tiantian’s most precious little halo can go on Master’s head for a while!” Raziel, the last scion of the Great Angel race: ? How could a master refuse a little one’s kind offer? But later, the silly little one gets jealous of the halo he loves most: Master seems to like Tiantian’s halo more than Tiantian! That’s not allowed! Watching his silly little one secretly hide the halo, only to burst into tears in the middle of the night when he wakes up and can’t find it, Raziel can only soothe him again and again. Years go by, and the little one’s stubborn streak still hasn’t changed. One day, after sneaking a drink, Tiantian finally comes out on his own. In front of everyone on set, he grabs Raziel by the collar. “Swear you don’t love the little angel halo!” Raziel calmly pulls him into his arms. “Mm. I only love you.” Theme: Everything we give to the people and things we cherish is worthwhile.
