I Can't Get Rid of the Fake Partner I Found

Lin Ning was the little fairy of the Academy of Fine Arts: sweet-tempered, skilled with his hands, pure-hearted, and uninterested in romance.

He was so good-looking that he had plenty of suitors, including some persistent ones from powerful families.

Unable to put up with them anymore, Lin Ning followed a friend's advice and found a fake boyfriend to back him up.

His fake boyfriend was incredibly cool, and no one dared mess with him. All those clingy suitors disappeared without a trace.

Lin Ning's life returned to normal, and he no longer needed a fake boyfriend.

Just as he was about to say goodbye to his fake boyfriend, the guy asked him to keep pretending to be his partner and take responsibility for him.

Lin Ning thought it over. The other guy had helped him, so he should help him in return. He agreed.

But somewhere along the way, he realized he'd fallen for a man.

Lin Ning was planning to confess, but his fake boyfriend beat him to it, suggesting they make their pretend relationship real and saying he liked him a lot.

The fake boyfriend was exactly Lin Ning's type. He was good to him and usually quite steady, and didn't seem too driven by lust. He fit the little fairy's expectations for a romantic relationship perfectly.

Naturally, Lin Ning happily agreed.

But his boyfriend wasn't pure-hearted at all. On the first day they made things official, he kissed Lin Ning until his lips were swollen.

His boyfriend apologized earnestly: "My fault. I couldn't control myself. I just like you too much."

Then the next day, he kissed Lin Ning's lips swollen again.

Lin Ning had to wear a mask when he met his friends. His little brows furrowed with worry. "He likes me too much and can't control himself. What am I supposed to do?"

Zheng Chi was a big name at the sports school, with a whole crowd of sworn brothers calling him their big brother. He could smoke, drink, and fight without breaking a sweat.

A line of petite guys who had a crush on him could wrap around the whole school, yet he ended up being won over by a little fairy from the Academy of Fine Arts.

His underlings wondered if this little fairy could take care of their boss.

Then they realized they'd gotten it backwards: their boss was the one taking care of him!

The kind of taking care of him where he lifted him onto his arm and kissed him!

"A Younger Brother Mustn't Have a Crush in Secret"

Ying Leyin's life changed dramatically when he was fifteen: he had been switched at birth.

His adoptive parents planned to send him back and bring their biological son home.

Ying Leyin was secretly pleased and had no objections.

But he had grown up with his older brother, Ying Jiayan, who cared about him more than anything and didn't want to let him go.

Ying Jiayan even said he could leave the Ying family with him, and that the two brothers could live together from then on. He said he would work hard and take good care of his younger brother.

His brother's feelings were so strong that even their parents couldn't completely object. In the end, they left the decision up to him.

But under Ying Jiayan's hopeful gaze, Ying Leyin still said he had decided to return to his biological parents.

He saw the disappointment in his brother Ying Jiayan's eyes, and watched him leave with a broken heart.

At that moment, he clenched his fists, but he had no regrets.

Years later, Xu Leyin graduated and became independent, then returned to the city where he'd grown up.

He ran into Ying Jiayan, who had become a mature, steady man capable of standing on his own.

He smiled and went over to say something, but Ying Jiayan treated him with the same indifference he had shown in the years since his departure.

Then one day, he heard that Ying Jiayan was going to marry a woman in a family alliance.

At last, he understood that the feelings he'd held all these years had come to nothing.

He got drunk late one night, then woke up in Ying Jiayan's arms, his clothes disheveled.

Ying Jiayan looked at him gravely. "So the reason you didn't want to stay back then was because you had these kinds of feelings for me?"

"My Wife Is a Liar, He Doesn't Love Me"

Among the heirs of Beicheng's wealthy families, He Feng was the most sought-after bachelor. Countless people wanted to get close to him.

Not one had succeeded. Those with a secret crush on him could only grit their teeth and pretend to be his good friends.

Then, out of nowhere, He Feng got a young boyfriend, leaving everyone stunned.

Rumor had it the guy had been a hotel waiter who slept his way to the top, earning plenty of scorn.

Everyone waited for He Feng to dump him. But the pretty boy was sweet-tongued and good-looking, and had He Feng completely wrapped around his finger. He didn't look at anyone else, let alone break up with him.

He Feng even defied his family's objections and insisted on marrying him.

People in their circle warned He Feng, "That pretty boy surnamed Gao is only after your money. Don't fall for it."

He Feng smiled. "There are plenty of rich people around. He chose me because he loves me."

His secret admirer told He Feng, "That guy's up to no good. He's a corporate spy trying to sabotage the partnership between our families."

He Feng didn't care. "I never wanted to work with your Li family anyway. If he doesn't like it, then we won't work together."

Not long afterward, the Li family, whom the He family had hoped to form an alliance with, suddenly ran out of funds and teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. Rumor had it that a young man surnamed Qiao from out of town had bought up the entire business.

No one in the He family objected to him anymore. He Feng was satisfied and formally proposed, intending to settle down with his boyfriend.

But the day after the proposal, his boyfriend vanished without a trace, leaving even the ring behind.

He Feng nearly turned the world upside down looking for him, but couldn't find him.

Later, a friend dragged He Feng to the opening celebration of a new company.

At the banquet, He Feng saw his long-missing boyfriend surrounded by admirers, treated like the star of the show as he walked up to the podium to give a speech.

Someone beside him introduced the man: "That's the new company's owner, Qiao Ying."

He Feng: ...
