Where's My Wife?!

[My new novel, The Male Lead of the Broken Engagement Story Is Too Frail to Care for Himself, is now available. If you like it, come join the fun, everyone~] Nian Le is invited to compete in Zhucheng, but every hotel near the venue is fully booked. Even a week in advance, he can't find anywhere to stay. Luckily, his wealthy college roommate, who is traveling abroad with his parents, generously offers to let Nian Le stay at his villa. He also asks Nian Le to look after his younger brother, who is recuperating at home. Nian Le readily agrees and knocks on the door with his luggage. He doesn't expect to see a nine-head-tall handsome guy with a cast on his arm when the door opens: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a handsome face that looks as if Nian Le owes him a fortune. Despite being such a big guy, the younger brother has a long list of demands. He wants four dishes and a soup for each of his three meals a day, and won't eat cilantro, fatty meat, ginger, or anything too sweet, salty, greasy, or spicy. He's picky to the extreme. Thinking of all the dangers of being left out on the street, Nian Le puts up with it. He finally coaxes the younger brother into thawing out, and the way he looks at Nian Le grows gentler, even a little considerate. Once the competition is over and Nian Le has his trophy, he finally breathes a sigh of relief, packs his bags in the middle of the night, and catches a train out of there. ××× Huo Weiran crashes his race car and breaks his forearm. While he recuperates at home, his mother is so furious she could blow smoke from her head, and threatens to find her son a “little wife” to keep him in line. On the night his family leaves for their overseas trip, the “little wife” shows up with a suitcase, rings the doorbell, and brazenly moves in, claiming he'll take care of him. Huo Weiran is a lifelong bachelor who naturally hates being constrained. He finds fault with the “little wife” at every turn, hoping to make him give up and leave. He never expected that the more time they spent together, the less he could take his eyes off him. The little wife seems to dance right across all his weak spots, making Huo Weiran's heart race. If he goes a day without seeing him, he feels empty and anxious. Thinking that the little wife is so deeply in love with him, Huo Weiran decides that maybe marrying him wouldn't be so bad. He secretly buys an engagement ring, only to find the place empty the next morning!!! #Where's my huge wife?!# A few things to know before you start: 1. This is a fictional setting~ It has no connection to the real world and is not based on real people. Some school-life scenes appear later on~ 2. There's no arranged marriage, just a misunderstanding~ 3. It's not just a fluffy romance; there's a plot~ The novel will be going premium on the 27th. Mao Tao will post ten thousand words in one go then (and shed fur like crazy), so please keep supporting me, everyone. Mao Tao is bouncing up to give you all a big hug~ Mao Tao's next novel is The Male Lead of the Broken Engagement Story Is Too Frail to Care for Himself. Don't miss it if you're passing by, everyone~ (Excitedly waving a little handkerchief) Xie Ting'an accidentally discovers that the world he lives in is actually made up of two novels. The first is a “chasing your wife to the crematorium” story. The male lead is Xie Ting'an's sworn enemy, and the female lead is the girl next door he used to know. The second is a harem novel about a broken engagement. The male lead is the only son of the sworn enemy and the girl next door from the first novel, and there are so many female leads that Xie Ting'an can't count them all on both hands. And Xie Ting'an himself is the vicious antagonist who appears in both books. In the first half of his life, he gets in the way of the male and female leads' romance. In the second half, he continues fighting with his sworn enemy's son, only to end up destitute and get hit and killed by a car. Xie Ting'an: ...So you're just going to keep wringing every last drop out of one villain, huh?! The story is already at the end of the first novel and not long into the second. Xie Ting'an looks at his sworn enemy's newly adult son: cold, upright, and arrogant, already carrying himself like a male lead. But the plot is at the point where his parents have gone missing, he's unexpectedly lost his sight, he's under attack from all sides, and his engagement has been broken off. Xie Ting'an looks at the male lead clutching his suit trousers and hoarsely calling him “Uncle,” and figures the boy might still be salvageable. Not only does he go against the novel and take him in, he plans to use this time to train him into a loyal, well-behaved dog who won't betray his lover or cause trouble. ××× After nearly a year, the training has worked remarkably well, and the male lead no longer feels hostile toward him. On the night before the male lead's parents return and take him away, Xie Ting'an even drinks quite a bit to celebrate. The next morning, Xie Ting'an wakes up to find himself and the male lead in the same bed. His waist and legs ache, and the marks on his body are astonishingly heavy. The blind male lead sits innocently beside him, asking over and over: “A Ting, you'll take responsibility for me, right?” “A Ting, you taught me to be faithful in love. When are we going public?” “A Ting, woof woof~” Theme: Always have principles
