The vampire prince Gu Yuanzhou had been asleep for a thousand years. When he finally awoke, his home was gone, his powers were gone, and it seemed he had transmigrated.

Now a helpless invalid, Gu Yuanzhou could barely survive in human society. At that moment, he was hiding in the darkness beneath an enormous black cloak. Nauseating smells seeped in from every direction, assaulting his senses and making him gag and retch. His head spun.

It was his third day hiding from place to place. Just as he was about to faint, a rich, sweet, intoxicating scent of blood washed over him. Gu Yuanzhou watched a man passing by the alley and swallowed. This man had awakened a thirst for blood he'd never felt before.

As if bewitched, Gu Yuanzhou followed the man home to a traditional courtyard residence. He fought desperately against the urge, but in the end, he couldn't resist the desire surging inside him.

Under cover of the rainy night, Gu Yuanzhou knocked on the courtyard's door.

His face was deathly pale, and his whole body trembled. His rain-soaked clothes clung to him. His eyes were damp and pitiful as he smiled, revealing two pointed fangs.

Gu Yuanzhou asked softly, "Excuse me, would you be willing to keep a vampire?"

The top-tier alpha Pei Sichen had always been called an invalid. Now an omega with a seemingly confused understanding of species had latched onto him.

Pei Sichen had never smelled pheromones before. The first time he caught such a pleasant scent, he nearly lost his icy composure. Looking down at the pitiful omega, he broke the rules for the first time and replied gently, yet with restraint, "I would."

People heard that the man living in the courtyard house west of the city had recently taken in an omega. Everyone knew how fierce and violent his pheromones were. Any omega who smelled them would either choke and faint, or go weak in the knees and burst into tears.

Everyone was waiting to see that omega make a fool of himself.

But one day, two days, one year, two years, and N years later, not only was the omega doing just fine, he'd even climbed right on top of that man's head and started ordering him around.

Notes on Keeping Him

One: Little O is afraid of both light and dark. Keep the curtains drawn at all times, fully blackout, and never leave him alone.

Two: Little O loves to play and sleep, so call his name from time to time.

Three: Little O loves his pheromones most. Provide them in every way possible, including releasing them whenever they're alone, biting fingertips, nibbling necks, and cuddling cheek to cheek. (Little O is shy and isn't used to kissing.)

Four: Little O loves me so much. I have to love him even more!

P.S. The bottom has no pheromones. Only the top can smell his scent. (Author's setting.)

New novel blurb: The Online Boyfriend Who Pretends to Be Good Gets Bullied by His Bodyguard

Qin Yi is a pampered young master who grew up in a life of luxury. He'd barely debuted, yet had already reached a peak many people spend their whole lives striving for.

Maybe his life had always been too smooth. When Qin Yi heard that a friend in the industry had been deceived in an online relationship, inspiration struck, and he wrote several hit songs. Qin Yi was envious, too, and decided he wanted to experience the pain of love.

Following his friend's lead, Qin Yi added someone on social media who seemed great in every way. His profile said he was twenty-eight, worth hundreds of billions, and 1.9 meters tall. Qin Yi looked at the half-visible photo of a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man with a striking air and was secretly pleased.

But after looking around for someone who fit that description, Qin Yi couldn't find anyone. So he made up a fake persona too, presenting himself as a pitiful young man kicked out of his home, who made a living singing and was sweet and obedient.

Who could have guessed that the random guy he'd added was a severe insomniac? After hearing Qin Yi sing once, he treated him like a lifeline and couldn't sleep unless Qin Yi sang for him.

Qin Yi was getting his taste of online romance's hardships. He not only had to sing him to sleep, but also had to role-play with his online boyfriend from time to time.

As they kept playing their roles, Qin Yi really began to feel something. But on the day they finally met in person, the man waiting for him was none other than his taciturn, wooden bodyguard.

Wait a minute. Online, you kept calling me "wife" and saying you wanted to kiss me, hug me, and cuddle. You even said you wanted me to be unable to get out of bed. So that was all just talk?

Qin Yi: Thanks for asking. On the second day of our online relationship, my online boyfriend moved in next door.

From the top's perspective

Pei Yanzhou was still overseas when he received an invitation to start an online relationship. He was crushed beneath mountains of paperwork and the gloomy thoughts that kept him awake all night. He casually opened the other person's profile, and the bright, cheerful singing gave him the faintest hint of sleepiness.

Sunny Mushroom: Hi, want to date online?

.: Sure.

One sentence, and he had an online boyfriend.

Pei Yanzhou easily found all of Qin Yi's information. That very night, he packed his things and returned to the country. The next day, he got hired as Qin Yi's bodyguard and successfully moved in next door.

By day, he was a quiet, dutiful bodyguard. By night, he was a filthy-mouthed boyfriend. Everything was perfect, if only Qin Yi hadn't started avoiding him.

Little scene

After their successful first meeting and confession, Qin Yi clutched his aching waist and kicked the bodyguard out of bed. Who said older men couldn't perform? He was more than capable.

Qin Yi: I'm not the only person in the world to fall in love with two men. (Crossed out)

Qin Yi: To hell with that, it's just one person!

Upcoming novel blurb: My Ex-Husband Who Abandoned His Wife and Child Isn't Human!

A stormy night.

Three years after their divorce, Qi Jingnian's ex-husband, who had abandoned his wife and child, came back.

He was still wearing the suit he'd had on the day he left. Its dark red patterns stood out clearly. In his hand was a huge black umbrella, covering half of his breathtakingly handsome face.

He raised his blood-red eyes slightly and parted his thin lips. "Long time no see. I'm back."

After a long stare, Qi Jingnian looked away first. He bent down to scoop up his meowing, well-behaved son and slammed the door shut.

A moment later, Qi Jingnian leaned against the door, clicked his tongue, and opened it again with a dark expression.

He schooled his reddened eyes and lowered his brows, then tugged at the corner of his lips. "Long time no see. Come in."

Qi Jingnian realized that ever since Pei Yuchi came back, nothing at home had been right.

An inexplicable thick fog. A red moon that sometimes shrouded the villa. A city that appeared and disappeared without warning. A bloodcurdling scream occasionally rising from the garden. A blurry figure in the bedroom mirror. A conspicuous blood-red mark on his wrist. And the black vortex that appeared and vanished behind Pei Yuchi.

Oh, right. He'd almost forgotten. His cat son had started talking, too.

Yeah... It seemed his ex-husband wasn't human!

*

Everyone in Lincheng knew that Qi Jingnian was crazy. It had taken him only three years to replace the business empire Pei Yuchi had built single-handedly over seven years. They said he was capricious, ruthless, and terrifying enough to stop a child crying in the middle of the night. Anyone with an ulterior motive who tried to get close to him met a terrible end.

Then one day, they noticed that the big shot had started making public appearances with his cat son in his arms. He always carried a black umbrella when he went out and smiled faintly, while his eyes, sharp enough to kill, were filled with tenderness and love.

Well, okay. The big shot had gone even crazier.

Little scene

On a two-meter-wide bed, Qi Jingnian looped a red string around Pei Yuchi's little finger and lifted his chin. "What are you?"

Pei Yuchi gently took Qi Jingnian's wrist and kissed away the beads of blood one by one. His crimson lips moved as he said, "Baby, I'm not a thing. I'm your husband!"

I crossed mountains and rivers just to return to your side. How could I bear to let go of your fingertips again?

Obsessive, unhinged, and ill bottom # Devoted, powerful, gentle top

Upcoming novel two: A Guide to Pampering Your Frail, Delicate Parasitic Vine

When Yu Luotang woke up, he discovered that the world he lived in was just a book, and he was the cannon-fodder foil for the book's protagonist, the bottom.

A parasitic vine: beautiful and delicate, frail and weak, able to survive only by clinging to others and begging for mercy.

The protagonist, his younger brother Yu Luobai, had been sunny and cheerful since childhood. He was shrewd and capable, and debuted at eighteen, making a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

All that supposedly painstaking training his family had given him was just to sell him for a good price and pave the way for Yu Luobai.

Fortunately, the night before he was supposed to discuss his engagement with the protagonist, the top, his memories awakened.

The protagonist, the top, had long been secretly involved with his younger brother. Not long after the two of them married for the sake of their families, the pair plotted to kill him and seize all his assets. His family merely shed a few crocodile tears, then forgot all about him.

Yu Luotang rejected the hypocritical protagonist, the top, and chose Xie Wangqi, the great villain in the book.

They said Xie Wangqi suffered from severe insomnia, had a violent and wanton temperament, and acted unpredictably. Everyone in the imperial capital was terrified of him.

Yu Luotang didn't care. He only wanted to leave the Yu family. He only wanted to live.

Besides, Xie Wangqi wasn't as cold and heartless as he'd imagined. On the contrary, he was gentle and considerate, spoiled him rotten, and granted his every wish.

Except that he was a little... clingy.

He had to hold Yu Luotang every night to fall asleep. He liked nibbling the red mole on his collarbone and lifting his chin to kiss him in a clingy, lingering way. His appetite seemed especially... intense, too.

Xie Wangqi suddenly found himself with a delicate, frail fiance. He was so beautiful that he took Xie Wangqi's breath away, and after one glance, Xie Wangqi could never look away again.

When they were together, his worsening headaches gradually eased. When they cuddled, his violent emotions slowly calmed. Sharing a bed, he could sleep peacefully all night.

Xie Wangqi wished he could pluck the stars from the sky and give everything to his little parasitic vine.

"Xie Wangqi, I'm afraid to be alone. Stay with me."

"Okay."

"Brother, I want the Yu family to be ruined, and I want Yu Luobai's reputation destroyed."

"Okay."

"Darling, you have to love me more than you did yesterday."

"Okay."

"Puppy, you have no self-control. We need separate bedrooms."

"No."

Xie Wangqi watched Yu Luotang with bloodshot eyes, hooked a finger under his chin, and kissed him deeply. Aside from that one request, he could grant Yu Luotang anything he wanted.

A Guide to Pampering Your Parasitic Vine

One: Little Vine is afraid of the dark and thunder. Hold him in your arms and soothe him to sleep.

Two: Little Vine is delicate and frail. Prepare all the medicine he needs. When things get intimate, be as restrained and gentle as possible.

Three: Little Vine needs lots of money, and even more love. Love him very, very much.

Four: Support Little Vine unconditionally. Whatever he wants, whatever he needs, be the vine he can climb, not a thorny cage that traps him.

P.S. The bottom will have his own career.

Theme: Live positively, face hardships without fear, and keep striving to improve!
