The blurb is at the very bottom. Feel free to check it out if you're interested! Blurb Glamorous, bold, flirtatious, sickly beauty bottom x rough, nouveau riche, country-bumpkin top Bian Qinglian had spent years in the modeling world. Blessed with a face so beautiful it seemed heaven itself had hand-fed him success, he made a fortune and gained a following of fans who loved him for his looks and continued loving him for his looks. He was practically the winner of life. But lately, this winner of life had a little problem. Just when he was about to retire and enjoy life... He got pregnant from a one-night stand. The baby's other father was a nouveau riche bumpkin. The doctor said he couldn't get an abortion. If anything went wrong, he wouldn't survive either. Bian Qinglian: ... He was already sick all over, and pregnancy meant he practically moved into the hospital. While he was being admitted, a certain tycoon saw him. The single room his manager had tried and failed several times to arrange suddenly became available, and he was upgraded to a luxurious VIP suite. Bian Qinglian eyed his wallet and went to pay the bill in trepidation, only to be told that the room had been paid for by the year and he could stay as long as he liked. What a rich... tycoon. Well, he wouldn't refuse. That man was responsible for this mess, after all. He was comfortable enough in the hospital, but there were plenty of other things to fret over. During that time, he had to deal not only with work, but also with the baby's father, who kept showing up for no apparent reason. Just seeing the man annoyed him. But when the other man proposed a marriage of convenience to take responsibility for him, Bian Qinglian gave a couple of weak coughs, then looked at the countless zeroes under the assets section and quickly calculated the cost of raising the child from birth to adulthood. He realized that everything he had earned was just enough to support himself in retirement. So he signed without hesitation. Even with his hand covered in bruises from IVs, he didn't tremble in the slightest. The next day, he was taken to get their marriage certificate. Holding the little red booklet, he felt a little dazed. He'd... just gotten married like that? But then he thought about it. The man had money and was handsome, so he couldn't lose out. Besides, they'd agreed to live their own lives, so his carefree lifestyle wouldn't be affected. But before long, Bian Qinglian regretted it. A hug today, a kiss tomorrow. The man also wanted to manage every little thing and wouldn't let him go out to have fun. Whenever he had free time, he was right there, bringing him tea, pouring water, and peeling apples. Wasn't this supposed to be a no-strings-attached arrangement? They were together all day, acting like a couple. Annoying. Lei Changsheng, the nouveau riche tycoon: ... Could it be that I just want to be in a relationship with you? Note: The bottom has a bit of a temper at first! Upcoming book: Hello, Love at First Sight Is Not Allowed Here. Blurb: sunny, cheerful stalker top x self-loathing, sickly beauty bottom Huo Xuan was unwillingly dragged to the funeral of the biological father he'd never met. After seeing Liu Musheng at the funeral... Huo Xuan: Thank you, old man! I'm in love! When he learned that the beautiful man dressed in plain clothes was Liu Musheng, his father's frail young wife of ten years... Huo Xuan: Thanks, old man. I hope you stay dead. Then he found out Liu Musheng had an ambiguous relationship with his older brother. Huo Xuan: That guy doesn't know the first thing about cherishing beauty. He's been taking care of him all this time and he's still sickly. Do these people even know how to look after him? Let me do it! * Before entering the Huo family, Liu Musheng's life was made up of hunger, poverty, sickness, injuries, and endless upheaval. He barely had any time to go to school. After arriving at the Huo family, he got a great deal of money, along with an ever-growing collection of scars and insults. He could only rely on others to survive in the decaying old mansion. He thought he would live numb and miserable until one day he was killed by one of his successive "lovers." Until Huo Xuan showed up and said he would take him away. * At first, Liu Musheng climbed onto his lap with malicious intent, wrapping his pale arms around Huo Xuan's flushed neck. He wanted to drag Huo Xuan, who was like the sun, down into the mud. Huo Xuan was bound to hate him. He was greedy, weak, and depraved... It didn't matter. Even if Huo Xuan pushed him away and scolded him now Liu Musheng: ? What was this thing hugging him around the waist? The next second, Huo Xuan's excited voice rang out. "I knew you liked me too! Where do you want to live after we get married? I have houses all over the country..." "Whatever you say, darling!" Liu Musheng: ? Darling? Who, me? What kind of idiot is this? He wanted to back out, but he couldn't get rid of the idiot who had latched onto him. Liu Musheng tried every way he could think of to drive him away. He tore up one handwritten letter from Huo Xuan after another. Huo Xuan: He likes me! Otherwise, why would he only tear up my letters and not anyone else's? He threw away every gift Huo Xuan sent him. Huo Xuan: He doesn't even look at other people's gifts before tossing them into storage to gather dust, but he personally throws mine away! If that's not love! He sabotaged every job Huo Xuan arranged for him. Huo Xuan, clutching his chest: My darling is so cute even when he's clumsy! It'll definitely go better next time! Liu Musheng: ...? He suddenly didn't want to give up on himself anymore. He wanted to study medicine and find out what on earth was going on in this guy's head. : ) * He saw my rotting exterior and saw through my dark heart, Yet still gave me sunlight with open hands. And in the end, he saved me. Theme: Life is full of little surprises. If you have an eye for finding happiness, you can find joy.
