Dr. Lin and His Firefighter Boyfriend

At their first meeting, Gao Ran's broad back was covered in burn scabs, exposing deep, raw-red muscle, like freshly sliced fatty beef at a hotpot restaurant.

As the saying goes, to a doctor, a naked body is just a lump of meat. Lin Ershan regarded him coolly: Piece of cake.

Anesthesia, debridement, skin grafting, stitches. He handled it all with effortless skill, earning everyone's praise.

But when Gao Ran had recovered and been discharged, he came to give the doctor a banner of thanks.

With a crew cut, thick brows, and bronze skin, the man smiled, revealing a neat row of white teeth. "Dr. Lin, thank you for all your hard work!"

His crisp, sharp fireman-blue uniform clung to his solid, broad chest.

One look at him, and Lin Ershan's heart raced.

·

When Lin Ershan's lease ran out, Gao Ran generously took him home, saying it was to repay him for saving his life.

Only then did Lin Ershan discover that this tall, rugged man could grow vegetables, tend flowers, cook, and keep house, maintaining his little courtyard in perfect order.

He also loved taking cold showers.

One evening, Lin Ershan was helping water the flowers when he slipped and nearly fell into the vegetable patch.

Gao Ran scooped him into his arms. His muscles tensed into hard lines, glistening in the moonlight.

Lin Ershan quickly took his hand off Gao Ran's chest, his cheeks flushing. "Good thing you were there..."

"Don't mention it." Gao Ran looked a little awkward, too. "I'm going to take a shower."

Lin Ershan was puzzled. "Didn't you just take one?"

Gao Ran turned his back to him. "Don't worry about it."

·

Later, nestled under the covers and rubbing his sore waist while Gao Ran fed him mouthfuls of homemade beef rice casserole, Lin Ershan finally understood why.

·

By day, Dr. Lin was decisive, rational, and reliable. At night, he often grew emotional and secretly wiped away tears, hiding it well from everyone else.

Only Gao Ran offered him his chest to lean on.

Dr. Lin was gentle and soft-spoken when confessing, with a wonderful temper, but he had his principles and strong boundaries. His friendliness was a disguise for keeping people at a distance.

Only Gao Ran could set him on fire.

Coming soon: "A Workaholic and a Slacker Have No Future!" Blurb:

Lin Yuqing is a moderately well-known BL manga artist. Not only is his art gorgeous, he also has a face straight out of a comic, and his readers call him a god-tier artist!

But he has a secret no one knows: he's lazy.

He's too lazy to eat and would rather fast and cultivate immortality!

He's too lazy to exercise. Life is all about staying still!

He's too lazy to date. He can't even take care of himself, so how could he take care of someone else?

Lin Yuqing just wants to lie flat. He never thought he'd get married.

·

His partner is Bai Mochuan, a promising young pharmaceutical researcher at the National Academy of Sciences.

Lin Yuqing has never met anyone so relentlessly competitive.

He competed for top grades in school and for research results after starting work. A walking SCI paper-writing machine, he seems to live for writing articles and conducting experiments.

To keep the flood of admirers from interfering with his research, Bai Mochuan asks Lin Yuqing to enter into a marriage of convenience. He won't have to do anything, and he'll even get paid.

To keep living as a slacker, Lin Yuqing agrees for now.

"I'll lie down for as long as I can. Anyway, a slacker and a workaholic have no future together!"

That's what Lin Yuqing says.

·

After they marry, everything Lin Yuqing thought he knew is turned upside down.

He used to be too lazy to eat, but his husband's home cooking is so delicious that he wants more!

He used to be too lazy to exercise, but his husband gets him working out every day, and now he wants more!

He used to be too lazy to date, but his husband takes such good care of him that he doesn't need to look after himself!

Lin Yuqing: "Are marriages of convenience all this competitive now?"

So good!
