Private Study Companion, No Reselling

Blurb: "Private Tutor, No Transfers Allowed" Ruan Qiu has two secrets: First, he is paying for Bai Chuan's food, lodging, and tuition to study abroad as his personal tutor. His plan is to make him work like a horse, then dump him without mercy once the trial period is over, to avenge his sister, whom Bai Chuan supposedly mistreated. Second, he's fallen for an online friend and is trying every trick he can think of to seduce him. While his father has sent him abroad, Ruan Qiu's revenge plan and seduction campaign proceed like clockwork. That is, until the day Bai Chuan's trial period is about to end, when Ruan Qiu learns something earth-shattering. Bai Chuan wasn't the one who mistreated his sister. He had the wrong person! And so, "dump him without mercy" becomes "make it up to him out of guilt by offering him everything, even my own godson." He sends a group message to his well-off friends studying abroad: [Transfer available: 188 cm, 20 years old, two master's degrees, IQ 187, model-like face and body. Comes with a luxury apartment in Midtown West, Manhattan, New York (two years' rent already paid). Tuition and living expenses as a tutor are covered. Conditions: Treat the tutor well. I will check in from time to time.] Only after sending it does Ruan Qiu feel a little less guilty. He switches to his chat with his secret crush and, blushing slightly, sends over a carefully taken photo. In the photo, he's kneeling on the bed in a maid outfit. The top of the frame cuts off most of his face, showing only a small part of his pale chin and lips. The black skirt hem between his little canine teeth makes his cherry-red lips look even fuller and more dewy. [Just bought a new outfit. I want to wear it for you in person.] After sending it, he covers his face and wriggles wildly on the bed. This time, the reply comes quickly. Just two short words: [Open the door.] Ruan Qiu: ? That night, Bai Chuan holds him captive in his arms. Whenever the phone screen starts to go dark, Bai Chuan catches his fingers and taps it awake again. The screen shows the photos and voice messages Ruan Qiu sent while flirting with his secret crush. Bai Chuan kisses and nips at the back of his neck. His voice by Ruan Qiu's ear is low and dangerous: "You haven't even inspected the goods, and you already want to sell me off secondhand?" "Sweetheart, you can't get that kind of deal in this world." * At the same time Bai Chuan sees the message [Free transfer], he also receives a message from his employer. The young man is kneeling on the bed, his knees flushed pink and his waist slender. [Just bought a new outfit. I want to wear it for you in person.] his employer says. Bai Chuan gives a silent laugh, takes his phone, and walks to his employer's bedroom door. He stops and replies: [Open the door.] * Later, the tutor takes charge of every aspect of Ruan Qiu's life, from meals and clothes to where he goes. He won't even let him do something as simple as wash fruit. All Ruan Qiu has to do is sit obediently and let himself be taken care of. But sometimes the attention is so frequent that he can't keep up. If he protests in the moment, his resolve often fails and he ends up swept away. After agonizing over it for a long time, Ruan Qiu pushes open the tutor's bedroom door, places the note he's prepared on the desk, and turns to leave. Then he sees photos of himself from different stages of high school, records of his phone's GPS location, and information about everyone around him... It seems he has let a wolf into his home. Reader's Guide: 1. Spoiled rich kid on the bottom x outwardly cold, inwardly sinister big shot on top 2. More slice-of-life than fast-paced 3. The top is not a normal person and is very possessive, though he does change over time. If that's not your thing, read at your own risk. Pre-release novel: "Disguised as a Maid, I Catch the Eye of a Handsome Young Master at an American School" Blurb: Earnest, beautiful top student on the bottom x possessive, hypersexual, two-faced and unhinged top / size difference The day Lin Miao transmigrates into The Rise of an American Entertainment Empire after a car accident, the original owner, an ordinary side character with the same name, has just lost his family fortune. Distraught, he falls down the stairs and dies. Seventeen years old, in his final year of high school, an international student, with his bank account frozen. Even legal part-time work is out of the question. On the verge of dropping out, his friend Ren Meng suggests, "The Fraser family just moved into a new estate and they're hiring maids. Food and lodging included, and the pay is great. Want to try?" Lin Miao is silent for three seconds. "I'm a guy." "Just dress up as a girl. You look like that, so who'd know if you kept it tucked away?" He's 180 centimeters tall, with a slender frame and such beautiful features that it's hard to tell if he's male or female. Lin Miao stares at himself in the mirror for half a minute, then nods gravely. * On interview day, the butler speaks in a crisp British accent. Lin Miao only understands the words "line up." He obediently joins the line of tall applicants. That's old money for you. Even maid applicants get to choose designer clothes. Looking at the floor-length gowns and silk dresses chosen by the applicants ahead of him, all elegant enough for the red carpet, Lin Miao stays true to his original plan and picks a maid outfit. Then Theodore Fraser, sole heir to the old-money family, 193 centimeters tall, with blond hair and silver eyes, a man of peerless good looks, leans back on the sofa with his long legs crossed. His silver-gray eyes pass over the crowd and land on Lin Miao, sliding from his lace collar to his slim waist tied with a bow, before finally settling on the tips of his ears, slightly red. "Her." * Among the affected impostors his father sent over, Theodore chooses a shallow, vulgar little mute who is refreshingly shameless about it. He wants to see just how far the little mute will go to complete his mission to seduce him. On his very first day, the little mute eagerly gets down on his knees to mop the floor. His slender waist bends, his skirt pools around his knees, revealing a delicate ankle. Theodore impassively looks away and sneers. When that doesn't work, the little mute eagerly brings him coffee he's made himself. The black liquid sloshes out and sticks to the pale back of his hand. As he pulls away, his fingertips happen to brush Theodore's forearm, lightly teasing him. The hand holding the pen pauses ever so slightly. Theodore turns his head away. Later, the little mute goes further, stretching up to wipe the windows. His skirt rides up, revealing straight, pale legs and faint marks left by the garters. Theodore takes a deep breath and finally sends him away. A few days later, Theodore goes to see whether the little mute has learned his lesson. Passing through the garden, he sees the mute typing something on his phone to show the gardener. They stand shoulder to shoulder, and the young, handsome gardener smiles, his eyes crinkling. Theodore turns and walks away. Back in the darkroom, he tries to find a chain attractive and comfortable enough to lock the little mute up with. * The night Lin Miao's identity is exposed and he tries to escape, Theodore blocks his way in a secluded part of the corridor. Theodore's voice is low and hoarse. "Trying to run? Giving up on the mission your father gave you?" Lin Miao: ? What mission? Theodore suddenly chuckles. "Congratulations." Lin Miao asks in confusion, "Congratulations on what?" Before he can finish speaking, Theodore lifts him with one hand, wraps an arm around his waist, and carries him steadily toward the stairs. "Congratulations. You'll be able to complete your mission tonight." Lin Miao's mind explodes with a loud buzz. ...Wait, I'm just a maid! Notes: 1. Lin Miao can't imitate a woman's voice, so he pretends to be mute while cross-dressing. 2. They are each other's first love. 3. Nothing happens while they are minors.
