Who Says an Old-School Otaku Can't Get Married!

[The audio drama is coming out! Go listen on Maoer FM! Ahhh, it's so good and so satisfying!!!] [My next book, "Whose Ridiculous Anime Thoughts Are These?!", is expected to launch next year. It's about two unlucky students in Teacher Song's class, hehe.] Song Fuzhi is a teacher. A composed, handsome man in his early thirties, with an elegant air. Yet his students run away whenever they see him. Nobody would guess that the strict Mr. Song is actually an old-school anime fan. He watches anime, reads manga, builds plastic models, and is a huge fan of a veteran cosplayer known as Octopus. Thanks to his overwhelming top energy, Mr. Octopus is hailed as the ultimate top in the cosplay community. That's what Song Fuzhi loves most about him. What saddens Mr. Song is that Octopus recently announced he was retiring from cosplay to return to a life in the real world. Song Fuzhi looked at the ring on his finger and lowered his eyes in silence. Marriage had forced him to hide those interests, and Octopus's retirement only made his already meager inner life poorer still. - Shi Zhang and Song Fuzhi married after being set up by their families. Their relatives and coworkers all said they were a perfect match. A refined, gentle botany professor and a handsome, elegant math teacher: they were a pleasure to look at together. But only Shi Zhang knew the shameful possessiveness he had felt toward Song Fuzhi as a teenager. In their calm, uneventful marriage, he had to force himself to suppress those dark instincts. - Later, their peaceful married life, in which they had always treated each other with courtesy, was shattered. Shi Zhang discovered that the cabinet kept locked in their home was filled with every cosplay photobook he'd made, from his debut right up to his retirement. Song Fuzhi discovered that his mild-mannered, plantlike husband suddenly abandoned his gentleness one night. He was rougher than ever, so overwhelmingly dominant that Song Fuzhi's legs turned weak, taking him back into countless dreams about Mr. Octopus. - Later still, Octopus made his comeback, accompanied by a mature, cool-headed man. Fans: Is this Mr. Octopus's new bestie? He's so handsome! Shi Zhang: This is my husband.

(Fierce) Coming soon: "The Master's Mechanical Arm Is Off"+ 1. A thousand years later, Tang Yu opened his eyes to a world that had changed beyond recognition. Mechanical body modification was widespread. Tall buildings lined the busy streets, neon lights flashed, and people wore strange outfits like a procession of a hundred ghosts.+++ The Immortal Venerable, who had seen countless ghosts: Wow, fashion really does go in circles. 2. Everyone said the world's greatest mechanic was a mysterious eccentric. It was said that he had used machines to save countless people, yet refused to modify his own body. His unaltered, unadorned form seemed completely out of place in this era. When someone asked why he wouldn't get modified, he said he was waiting for someone and feared that if he changed, that person wouldn't recognize him. 3. Dragging his half-ruined body, Tang Yu swaggered into the shop and slapped a copper coin on the counter. “Hey, boss, you there? My arm's wrecked. Fit me with a mechanical one.” Beyond layers of dim light and shadow, the mechanic, who never showed his true face, slowly lifted his head. His gaze flickered as he silently whispered, “...Master.” [In an age of mechanical ascension, with gods and demons ruling the world, through a thousand years of endless suffering, you alone are my faith.] Theme: Age should never hold you back. Always dare to live
