The Sickly Beauty Coveted by Four Splinters

[I'm not continuing this story. I'll move the top's characterization to another quick transmigration novel.]

[Sunny, kind amnesiac bottom x twisted, dark, fragmented top]

Wu Zhuo was born with albinism. He was delicate and frail, and often fell ill.

On top of that, he had to contend with his most serious problem: amnesia. Every so often, he would lose all his memories of the people around him.

Luckily, he could still take care of himself.

Until one day, he moved to a new city for work, and his life changed...

-[The Student Who Doesn't Exist]

There seemed to be a student at the school who was being bullied. Whenever he appeared, his head was bowed and his whole body was soaked, like a vine growing in some dark, damp place.

Wu Zhuo asked the others about the student.

The next day, the person who'd sworn he would help others suddenly changed his tune and denied it outright: "What are you talking about? Is there even such a person?"

Yet this nonexistent student climbed up to his window at night, water dripping from his hair, and begged in a broken voice:

"Teacher, save me."

Wu Zhuo took pity on him and agreed to help.

In a corner where no one could see, the black-haired student stared gloomily and silently murmured:

"You will always be mine, teacher."

-[A Colleague's Secret]

Wu Zhuo started dating a colleague, a professor who was gentle and refined, and would hold him tenderly and kiss him.

He was quite happy with his boyfriend. He just couldn't understand why the professor was always dressed in a high-collared shirt, or why he vanished as soon as work was over.

He wouldn't answer calls or reply to messages.

Wu Zhuo got upset, thinking his boyfriend didn't care about him, and broke up with him.

The next day, Wu Zhuo woke up to find himself tied up in the professor's arms.

In an utterly gentle voice, the professor said, "Don't even think about leaving me, darling."

"We will be together in life and in death."

-[The Cat He Took In]

Wu Zhuo found a kitten on the verge of death. The pet hospital said there was no hope and told him to take it home and bury it.

He never expected a black-haired boy with cat ears to emerge from his blankets the next day.

The cat was innocent and knew nothing about the ways of the world. All he knew was how to act spoiled, his hot breath brushing Wu Zhuo's ear as he said, "I feel awful. Help me."

Blushing, Wu Zhuo helped him, then scolded him while washing his hands. "Did you learn? Next time, do it yourself."

The cat blinked his glossy eyes and tilted his head. "Why? I feel good, and you feel good too. What's wrong with that?"

What Wu Zhuo didn't know was that every night, the cat-boy would quietly crawl out of bed and gently lick the exposed skin of his owner, murmuring to himself...

"You smell so good. When will I get to eat you?"

-[The Boyfriend Who Appeared Out of Nowhere]

One day, a man who claimed to be Wu Zhuo's boyfriend suddenly appeared in his dorm.

"Hubby, you worked hard today! Here's your lunch!"

No one thought there was anything strange about someone suddenly appearing in a single-occupancy dorm.

Only Wu Zhuo noticed something was wrong. His diary didn't mention this person at all, and his colleagues said, "No, I don't think so. I thought you were single?"

The boyfriend loved Wu Zhuo so deeply that he wanted to chop himself up and mix himself into Wu Zhuo's lunchbox. As memories flooded over him, his handsome face gradually twisted, tears of blood running down it...

"Who am I? Whose memories are these?"

He knelt at Wu Zhuo's feet and said plaintively, "I was born for you. You are everything to me."

"No matter who I become, will you still love me?"

The white-haired young man lowered his eyes, neither sad nor happy, and simply kissed the other man's eyelashes.

---------Coming Soon------------

"Be Good, Understand?" A groveling, dog-training romance.

Former adopted son, later the real young master, queen-like bottom x former arrogant rich heir, later a lovesick, groveling mad dog top.

The bottom's unrequited love was well known throughout their circle, but the top was so dense that he never picked up on any of the signals.

Everyone secretly waited to see the bottom make a fool of himself.

He always thought his hopeless crush would last until the day the top got married.

Then an accident at a banquet led them to drink spiked wine by mistake and get trapped in the same room...

When he came to, he heard someone in the bathroom vomiting uncontrollably and saw something that broke his heart:

The top wasn't oblivious to his feelings. He'd only been pretending not to know, because he wanted to toy with him.

The bottom silently wrapped his rumpled clothes around himself and shut the door. He threw his shattered dreams into the hotel trash can along with them.

He was finally clearheaded.

A few months later.

The usually arrogant young heir was now kneeling at the bottom's feet, apologizing in a choked voice. "Please don't leave me, okay? I'm begging you. I'll do anything!"

The bottom sat indifferently in his seat of power, looking down at the man at his feet, so lowly he seemed ready to sink into the earth. He lifted the man's chin with the toe of his leather shoe.

"Are you willing to be my dog?"

"...Yes!"

"Be good."

-

At a banquet, everyone stared in shock at the top trailing after the bottom, so obedient and attentive that he was always offering tissues, fetching drinks, and carrying things for him.

"Is that really the arrogant young heir we know?"

"We were waiting to laugh at the bottom, but now we're the joke."
