----(Novel blurb below)----

○ Healing from trauma and mutual salvation

Cool, aloof doctor on the bottom × gentle, doting powerhouse on the top

Jiang Tian is a doctor who also suffers from severe OCD.

What others consider simple physical contact causes him unbearable distress.

One day, Lu Hongze, a promising young entrepreneur, comes to his office.

Gentle, well-mannered, and gentlemanly: that is Jiang Tian's first impression of him.

As he leaves, Lu Hongze gives him a business card and shakes his hand in thanks.

Jiang Tian throws the card in the trash and wipes his hand with a wet wipe.

A doctor can't heal himself. He can save many people, but he can't save himself.

After that, Jiang Tian keeps “running into” Lu Hongze.

At art exhibitions, in stores, even in obscure cafes with hardly anyone around.

Jiang Tian understands that the other man is pursuing him, but his illness makes him hesitate.

The longing in Lu Hongze's eyes is too passionate.

Jiang Tian doesn't know how to respond to those feelings.

Abandoned by his family, his dreams left in tatters.

Shadows from his childhood haunt him, always by his side.

All Jiang Tian has left is this tiny scrap of self-respect.

And his pride won't let him bare his wounds and accept someone else's pity.

Then, on a day of heavy snow, Lu Hongze wears a thick trench coat and wraps a warm scarf around Jiang Tian's neck.

But the considerate gesture makes Jiang Tian retch violently.

His heart aches, but he says,

“I don't need your pity. Go away.”

Lu Hongze doesn't leave. He lights a cigarette, takes a puff, then holds it to Jiang Tian's lips.

The cigarette still carries the warmth of Lu Hongze's lips.

“Tian Tian, I'll stay with you.”

So, are you willing to take this step toward me?

Memories long buried by time are brought back to light.

At Christmas more than a decade ago, beneath the mistletoe, he gave a hug to a wanderer,

forging an undying god in Lu Hongze's heart.

Lu Hongze carries a cross, and Jiang Tian is his only god.

“I sever my sins. I abandon my past. I run to you without hesitation.

You are the torch in my life, the love and joy of my dreams.

You are my first faith and my eternal god.”

----Pre-order: bizarre infinite-flow novel The Oracle----

Shen Qiu falls into a sandbox world. Unless they find and kill the “Creator” who trapped everyone inside, they will turn into puppets within a limited time and be imprisoned in the sandbox forever.

Other people get all kinds of outrageously cool starting weapons with buffs,

while Shen Qiu... gets only an egg.

He glances at his maxed-out luck stat, convinced the egg is sure to hatch into an SSS-tier piece of top equipment.

But when the egg finally hatches, Shen Qiu faints.

When he wakes, he's in the arms of a black-winged angel.

Shen Qiu: “...”

The fallen angel has a face that could entrance all creation. His golden hair brushes Shen Qiu's cheek, and his fingers rest against Shen Qiu's lips.

Shen Qiu hears him call, “My dear Mother Goddess.”

Shen Qiu: “?!”

Shen Qiu: “Why are you calling me Mother Goddess? I'm not your mom!”

The angel bends down and kisses him.

“Then... my darling.”
