The Sickly Beauty Cherished Above All

An ultra-sweet romance: Jiang Gu, a sickly beauty with a teasing streak, is the pursued one, while his devoted, puppy-like roommate Si Heng is the pursuer. Jiang Gu had graduated from college, and the deadline to move out of his dorm was fast approaching, but he still had nowhere to live. Just as he was getting worried, a friend called in some favors and managed to find him a pretty good place. It was in a prime commercial district, in a luxury residential complex where even the cheapest units cost tens of millions. Yet one of the apartments was being offered to a roommate for an absurdly low monthly rent. The rent was cheap, but there were plenty of conditions. They filled several sheets of A4 paper, and the requirements were so nitpicky they bordered on obsessive. After reading them carefully, Jiang Gu realized that every single requirement perfectly matched his own lifestyle. So, for him, they weren’t requirements at all. On the first day after moving in, his roommate had just finished working out. His sweat-damp clothes clung to his body, revealing every line of his impressive muscles. An overwhelming wave of pheromones hit Jiang Gu right in the face. On the second day, his roommate wore an apron while cooking in the kitchen. The tall, muscular man somehow radiated a gentle, domestic warmth. When he noticed Jiang Gu looking, he smiled at him, eyes crinkling. On the third day, his roommate came home from work, held his beloved cat, and gently kissed the top of its head. Then his ears turned red. Jiang Gu thought, Maybe my roommate is kind of cute? One perfectly ordinary morning, Jiang Gu woke from a dream. A strong, lean arm was wrapped around his waist. He turned slightly and looked up to see the man lying beside him gazing at him with focused tenderness. It turned out everything had been part of someone’s long-laid plan. A few things to know before reading: 1. The pursued one is a cool, beautiful, sickly man with heart and stomach problems. He is very frail, and illness-related scenes take up a lot of the story! If you don’t like frail characters, steer clear! I’ve clearly flagged this point, so if you come in just to complain that he’s sickly, weak, and whiny, don’t blame me for snapping at you. I can be really fierce! 2. His body is weak, but his personality isn’t. He’s a bit of a teasing schemer. 3. The pursuer has had his eye on him for a long time, but he doesn’t know it. He starts to fall for the pursuer, so he begins teasing him. 4. This is a cuddly, everyday-life story with a very slow, meandering pace. 5. Both leads are each other’s only partners, with no secondary couple. 6. To be decided. I’ll add more if I think of anything.
