Blurb: [Playful, Gentle Film Star Gong x Aloof, Sickly Beauty Psychologist Shou] Sui Wang and Jiang Yusheng's first meeting ends with them in the hospital. The reason? The youngest psychologist at the police station faints right into the arms of film star Jiang. Jiang Yusheng: "Hmm? Are you trying to scam me?" Sui Wang weakly looks up. "...You bastard." Jiang Yusheng stares down in shock. The person in his arms has fainted again. Are scammers this bold these days? Later, Jiang Yusheng learns that Sui Wang really is in poor health. He looks cold as ice, but needs someone to support him after just a few steps. Later, Sui Wang also realizes that he insulted the wrong person that day, but once the words were out, there was no taking them back. Everyone thinks the two of them are like fire and water, including Sui Wang himself. He never expected the director to seize on their bickering chemistry and invite them both onto an escape-room variety show. Sui Wang notices that Jiang Yusheng always seems to stare at him for no reason. Sui Wang: ...Is he trying to get back at me? Jiang Yusheng: Why doesn't he come closer? He could faint again with that cold face. Who else here would dare catch him but me? After the show airs, people keep dying under mysterious circumstances, and all the clues point to Jiang Yusheng. Sui Wang thinks this is his chance to save himself. Police: Hello. We suspect you withheld information. Sui Wang: That's not right. You can't tell just by looking at a two-way mirror without touching it. There are no fingerprints from Mr. Jiang on the mirror. He was standing in front of it simply because he was admiring himself. Jiang Yusheng narrows his eyes slightly: ...Even so, is this scammer really helping me? Police: Hello. We suspect you deliberately concealed crucial evidence. Sui Wang: No, luminol wouldn't have worked under those conditions. Mr. Jiang kept looking over there because there was a place to sit. Jiang Yusheng smiles "happily": ...I was watching you because you were swaying around and I was afraid you'd fall. Police: Hello. We suspect you gave us a false account of your whereabouts. Sui Wang: No, Mr. Jiang... Jiang Yusheng suddenly cuts him off: Yes, I lied about where I was. Sui Wang looks up in confusion, only for Jiang Yusheng to kiss him on the lips. Jiang Yusheng chuckles and puts an arm around his boyfriend, who's leaning against him and panting softly. "Brother Sui spends all day solving cases, so that day I went and taught him how to kiss." You teach me to solve cases, and I'll teach you to kiss. [Reading Guide] 1. Updated daily. 2. The characters are not based on real people.

[Gentle on the outside, scheming and jealous within, prince gong x Carefree on the outside, intent on dying within, imperial preceptor shou] Imperial Preceptor Ji Chiwei does as he pleases. With a beauty mark beneath his eye, he exudes endless charm. His favorite things in life are getting drunk with beauties on his lap and gazing out the window at Chang'an. Oh, and his actual job: divining the fate of the empire. Except... Ji Chiwei folds his fan and yawns. "Fortune-telling? Tomorrow. I'm so tired today." Rumor has it that Ji Chiwei is the person most likely in a hundred years to truly glimpse the Mandate of Heaven. Unfortunately, getting him to do it is harder than climbing to the heavens. When Third Prince Rong Jin hears the rumor, he smiles gently. He looks at the person slumped beside him. "Does Senior Brother really dislike telling fortunes for people?" "Huh?" Ji Chiwei sits up blearily and instinctively casts a reading for his junior. "Stars will fall like rain tonight. It's unwise to stay home, or you may meet with bloodshed." Rong Jin smiles. "Put it plainly." Ji Chiwei grins and leans closer to Zhong Jin. "There's a meteor shower tonight. Why don't you come watch it with me, Junior Brother?" Rong Jin: ... The rumors aren't entirely true. The Ji Chiwei who supposedly never divines the Mandate of Heaven on a whim would gladly do it every few steps when it comes to his beloved junior. · As the least favored prince, Rong Jin was sent to the Temple of the Protector of the Nation as a child, where he became the last disciple of a senior monk. He gazed toward Chang'an and swore to reclaim everything that belonged to him. More than a decade later, Rong Jin returns to the capital with a sickly, smiling imperial preceptor by his side: Ji Chiwei. Ji Chiwei helps Rong Jin reclaim power step by step, but Rong Jin is alarmed to see his senior brother growing paler and paler. After completing his final divination, Ji Chiwei leans against the table and coughs. Blood drips from between his fingers. Glimpsing the secrets of heaven shortens one's life. All things have their causes and effects, and the cycle of reincarnation cannot be broken. "Didn't you want the world, Junior Brother?" "I'll give it all to you, even if it costs me my life." "Junior Brother, don't... be sad." [I want to write a beloved shou who seems careless and laid-back about everything, but is actually in very poor health. OvO] Up next: Your Coach Passed Out Again [Esports]. Please add it to your reading list! [Seemingly aloof but always saying shocking things, tsundere gong x Seemingly carefree and cheerful, but fragile as glass, sickly beauty shou] In the year the championship was once again just one step away, Tp team captain and shot-caller Tp_Sheng announced his retirement amid a torrent of criticism. Everyone mocked him, saying Tp_Sheng had only managed to stay with the powerhouse Tp team for so many years because of his looks. No one remembered that Tp_Sheng had once led the team to five consecutive championships. No one remembered that Tp_Sheng had asthma, and that in its worst year, he was taken straight from the arena to the hospital in an ambulance. The following year, the Tp team fell into a slump, until the roster was overhauled the year after that. · A sickly beauty named Yu Sheng appears on a streaming platform as an Esports streamer who is always smiling. He constantly cracks jokes. He always seems to be smiling and never serious, but his skills are undeniable, and he quickly attracts a huge following. "Your voice is so nice, streamer. Why don't you ever show your face?" Yu Sheng yawns, sounding unhurried. "Because I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me." "You're so good... Have you ever thought about going pro?" Yu Sheng pauses, his smile at last fading. "No." The chat keeps asking questions. Yu Sheng lowers his eyes, his voice faint. "I'm in poor health. The day-night schedule of a pro player... would be like asking me to die." The chat immediately fills with messages saying they feel sorry for him. Shi Xing, who asked if he would go pro, is stunned. His lips slowly press together. The next second, Yu Sheng suddenly smiles again. "Besides, most importantly, I have to leave the pro players a chance to survive." Shi Xing, who had been feeling guilty: "..." Shi Xing takes a deep breath, then slowly types another message: "Would you consider becoming a coach instead?" "A coach..." Yu Sheng stares at the message, his lashes trembling. "Sure." Shi Xing, who was sure he'd be rejected, is stunned. A vague sense of foreboding passes through his mind. The next second, a party invitation appears in his private messages. "If I become your coach, I'll make the players cry," Yu Sheng says, resting his chin in his hand, his voice half teasing. "If you cry, big guy, I'll coach your team." Shi Xing: "..." · After Shi Xing pulls off two last-second comebacks, Yu Sheng stares at the darkened screen, still wanting more, and finds himself genuinely reconsidering. He rubs his wrist and speaks with unusual seriousness. "Best of three. Fine, I'll consider coaching. Which team are you with?" A private message pops up. Yu Sheng looks at the words "Tp Team," his fingers turning white as they clench. "I've decided. I won't be your coach after all. Find someone else." Shi Xing, who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "...?" · Months later, on a night when the number of times they have sex is decided by who wins the game. Realizing he's about to lose, Yu Sheng's fingers tremble, and he decides to beg for mercy. He leans close to Shi Xing's ear and says with a smile, "Big guy, keep playing and I'll cry." Shi Xing's lips curve, but he clicks the mouse without hesitation. "You'll play even harder if you cry." [He's making trouble, and he's smiling.] Up next: The Sickly One's Pursuit of His Wife Is a Road to Ruin. Please add it to your reading list! [Reborn scumbag gong becomes loyal dog, possessive to the extreme x Reborn genius cardiologist shou who once took in a child and is now raised by him] Both are reborn. The gong pursues his wife relentlessly; the shou is sickly. Su Jinnian's greatest regret in his past life was taking Chu Wang home the year he graduated. At the time, he was the youngest genius doctor at the National Medical University. He had congenital heart disease, yet was dazzlingly talented, carefree, and lonely. He angered his mentor to make Chu Wang his junior disciple, and despite being seriously ill, taught him everything he had learned over the years. All because Chu Wang said, "Brother, I want to learn what you learned, so I can cure you someday." Then he watched Chu Wang steal his friends and his research, and heard him say with indifference when Su Jinnian's heart condition flared up, "Aren't you the best doctor, Brother? If you can't do it, there's nothing I can do." Su Jinnian loved to curve his peach-blossom eyes and open his arms to the silent Chu Wang, as if waiting for a lost puppy to find its way home. Until the puppy grew into a wolfhound, bit him, and pinned him down, watching him die in despair amid endless pain. · Reborn, Su Jinnian sees things differently. He decides to avoid every connection with Chu Wang from the start. But somehow, things never go according to plan. On the rainy night when he was supposed to go pick up Chu Wang, Su Jinnian sleeps like the dead at home. Yet somehow he finds Chu Wang, drenched from head to toe, outside his door. He lowers his eyes and nudges Chu Wang, who's burning up and collapsed at the entrance. "Move. A good dog doesn't block the door." Chu Wang pushes himself up and crawls one step to the side. "...Sorry." Su Jinnian, an outstanding senior student in charge of admissions, tears Chu Wang's application to pieces right in front of him. Propping his arm up, he raises an eyebrow. "The admission requirements aren't there for show. My master's sect doesn't take useless people." Chu Wang crouches down and carefully picks up every scrap of paper. "It's my fault. Don't get angry. You can't take the strain." Su Jinnian works in the lab until he faints and is hospitalized, but when he returns to school, he finds Chu Wang has somehow enrolled anyway. He splashes a cup of water in Chu Wang's face. "Pulling strings, Chu Wang? Aren't you ashamed?" Chu Wang calmly refills his cup. "I'm shameless, but you can't be left without anyone to look after you." Half a year later, Su Jinnian has a heart attack and struggles through a jumble of memories. As Chu Wang approaches, he grabs a scalpel and holds it to his neck. "Come any closer... and I'll kill you." This time, Chu Wang doesn't obey. He lets the scalpel cut his skin, then kisses Su Jinnian through the smell of blood, forcing the medicine into his mouth. Chu Wang's eyes are bloodshot. "Su Jinnian, you are not allowed to die in front of me again." Su Jinnian is silent for a moment, then slowly curves his peach-blossom eyes into a smile. "Chu Wang, have you never heard that a doctor can't cure himself?" [We meet again in the year of Jinnian, so how can we speak of a future with Wang?] [Gong who's always afraid the shou will die x Shou who doesn't really want to live, but is determined to make the gong die] Check out my friend's story, [The Scheming Voice Actor Is Fishing for Me Again] by Er Yu [Cute but fierce, cool guy shou -*- Sweet-looking, secretly scheming, flirtatious beauty gong] Theme: No matter what situation you find yourself in, your fate is in your own hands.
