Quelling the Boiling

[The full manuscript is drafted; over 30,000 words so far]

1.

Yu Yue and Rong Shuxue have known each other for twenty years and are inseparable.

One is playful and mischievous, while the other is gentle and self-disciplined.

When they were eighteen, Yu Yue confessed half-jokingly, and Rong Shuxue said yes.

They quickly began a sweet relationship. The only problem was what happened in bed.

Yu Yue wanted to top Rong Shuxue, but he couldn't beat him.

Rong Shuxue wanted to top Yu Yue, but he couldn't bear to hurt him.

Two years passed, and their intimacy still hadn't gone beyond kissing and cuddling.

They were as chaste as a couple in puppy love.

2.

Yu Yue thought of all kinds of ways to solve the problem.

After yet another one-sided argument, he angrily broke up with Rong Shuxue.

No one believed they would really break up, and neither did Yu Yue.

At his wit's end, he arranged to meet an online friend who knew all about this sort of thing at a bar, hoping to learn from him.

But the next day, he woke up in a hotel.

His body was covered in purple bruises, and his muscles and bones hurt whenever he moved.

Yu Yue was stunned.

He hurriedly threw on his clothes, scrambled back to his dorm, and didn't leave for three days.

3.

On the fourth day, someone pinned Yu Yue to his bed.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Rong Shuxue. It was Shen Zhiyuan.

A broad, powerful hand pressed down on his thin shoulder, as if ready to crush him.

"You provoke me, then think you can just run away? As if."

In Yicheng, nobody dared to mess with Shen Zhiyuan.

What's more, he still had a video from that night on his phone.

Yu Yue was forced to become Shen Zhiyuan's possession.

The things he'd refused to do with Rong Shuxue were now happening every night.

No one pampered him, no one cared for him, and no one indulged him.

His tears and pleas only excited Shen Zhiyuan.

Yu Yue was like a lost puppy.

He couldn't find a way back to Rong Shuxue.

Later, he discovered that things weren't all that great with Rong Shuxue either.

He had a new "master."

-

Yu Yue was like boiling water, overflowing with enthusiasm for everyone.

It was all right. Shen Zhiyuan could keep adding water.

Until Yu Yue belonged entirely to him and boiled only for him.

CP: A boisterous, fussy puppy bottom vs. a fierce, ruthless big-cat top

Reader notes:

1. The love interest changes.

2. Both have their own problems, and neither is a good person.

3. I want to use this book to practice writing conflict and tension. The characters' values are up to you to judge.

Theme: No matter what happens, face life with optimism and a positive attitude.
