Shen Shumo has been single for over twenty years, with only one thing in his eyes: his career. He has always looked down on romance.

Until one evening, at a dinner party, he found a young man in the woods.

From the very first moment they met, his heart began beating out of control.

The young man was named Ruan Xingyu. He was naive about the ways of the world and had nowhere to go.

So Shen Shumo gave him the finest place to stay and let him enjoy the most luxurious life.

The boy was delicate and beautiful, frail, and prone to illness.

Shen Shumo laid thick carpets throughout the house for him and brought in the best doctors.

Watching the boy grow livelier by the day, and become more dependent on him with each passing day, Shen Shumo finally found some relief for the possessiveness raging inside him.

Just as he thought they could go on living this way forever, Ruan Xingyu quietly told him, "Sir, I've finally saved enough to buy a house in Yuezhong Bay! We can be neighbors from now on."

Shen Shumo froze, then drew a deep breath and asked, "You want to move out?"

He silently locked the door behind him, then slowly walked over and took the boy's hand, gently pressing a kiss to it. "Wouldn't it be better to stay with me forever?"

At some point, rumors began circulating that Shen Shumo was keeping a beauty hidden away. People went from gossiping about it to accepting it as commonplace, and eventually word got out that the two were holding an engagement ceremony.

The guests who had been invited stared at the exquisite-looking young man onstage, exchanging bewildered glances.

Wasn't that the gorgeous beauty who had recently set the internet abuzz?

Before bed, Ruan Xingyu read a novel. It featured a powerful aristocratic family whose head was a major villain named Shen Shumo.

He was violent and ruthless, and everyone in Beijing's elite circles avoided him.

Before going to sleep, Ruan Xingyu muttered complaints about the character. But when he woke up, he somehow found himself in a forest.

Just as he was feeling unwell and had no idea what to do, a kind gentleman came to his aid and offered him temporary lodgings when he had nowhere else to go.

What an incredibly kind person!

Ruan Xingyu was so moved that tears welled in his eyes. He quietly asked his benefactor's name, only to hear the villain's name the very next moment.

Shen Shumo: "You can just call me by my name."

Ruan Xingyu: "..."

Upcoming novel: A Marriage Alliance for the 2D-Obsessed

[An unruly, fiercely loyal dog-like gong who is wild with outsiders and devoted at home x a cat-like shou who seems emotionless but is actually an innocent, natural-born flirt]

To escape the family marriage her parents had arranged, Liu Yanxi moved to Luzhou to live alone.

In outsiders' eyes, he was a pampered, wealthy, homebound little artist who seemed to have no emotions.

But as soon as he closed his front door, he would turn right back into a hardcore 2D shut-in, clutching potato chips in one hand and a game console in the other, watching anime and reading manga day and night!

Liu Yanxi, holding snacks: "A carefree (crunch crunch) life (crunch crunch) is the best!"

His friend: "What about your fiance?"

Liu Yanxi, who hadn't had much time to enjoy himself yet: "..."

Right. What about him?

If the marriage alliance really happened, he'd be trapped for the rest of his life in the cage of a wealthy family's arranged marriage.

Liu Yanxi grew anxious.

Liu Yanxi racked his brains.

Liu Yanxi found an unruly man who looked terrifying and asked him to pretend to be his boyfriend, all in one night!

*

Before the engagement was called off, Liu Yanxi studied things seriously: "We have to do this, then this, so we look like a real couple."

After it was called off, Liu Yanxi tossed his notes aside: "Woohoo! I'm free!"

His boyfriend, Yan Xun, reached out and pulled him close. "But you agreed last night that we'd live together."

Liu Yanxi, who had a little to drink and couldn't remember a thing: "Huh?"

Yan Xun gazed at him with pleading eyes.

Liu Yanxi: "...Fine."

With tears in his eyes, he put away his manga, turned off his anime, and started sneaking in drawing commissions during the day and learning how to share a bed with his boyfriend at night.

Why didn't he just come clean?

There was no way. How could he say he was a hardcore 2D shut-in who drew boys' love manga every day?

Perhaps the heavens had heard his pleas. A few days later, Liu Yanxi ran into Yan Xun at an anime convention.

The two stared at each other in shock, each wearing a cosplay outfit of their own favorite character.

#Huh? You too?!#

#Unbelievable, are we actually friends in the same fandom?#

*

Before he fell in love, Yan Xun was a notorious angst writer in the community, famous for filling his stories with heartbreak and for being razor-sharp with his insults.

After falling in love, Yan Xun posted eight hundred updates about his relationship every day. He strutted around with his tail wagging, wishing he could announce to the whole world:

I have a husband. Try not to be too jealous!

His fans were stunned: Teacher, do you even remember the persona you used to have?!

#We told you, people in love shouldn't be allowed online!#

Yan Xun scoffed.

He changed his profile picture to a matching one drawn by his boyfriend and showed it off shamelessly.

The whole community was stunned again.

Wait! Isn't that the art style of the famous artist from the neighboring fandom??

Didn't people say you two were on bad terms?
