If you're satisfied with our service, please give us a five-star rating~ Story One: Cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside artist seme x gentle, flirtatious senior uke When his family asked about his love life for the nth time, the manga artist picked up a character he'd drawn and said coldly: "I'm in love with fictional characters. He's my wife." Alarmed, his family sent him on a blind date. As luck would have it, his date was the senior he'd secretly loved, who had gone abroad several years ago, and was also the model for the character he'd drawn. At the start of the date, the other man noticed nothing unusual. He simply gazed at him warmly with those eyes. But when his secret came out, there was a hint of amusement in the senior's eyes: "Junior, everyone says I look just like your favorite fictional character. So how did you feel when you saw me again?" "..." Story Two: Socially anxious author seme x unruly troublemaker uke The author's head was throbbing. The protagonist of his first novel had actually climbed right out of the book. He admitted that this was his favorite of all the protagonists he'd ever written, but he didn't want anyone disrupting the rhythm of his life. He wanted to ask, When are you going back? But the young man sitting on the sofa just grinned shamelessly. "Tsk, since you created me, shouldn't you take responsibility?" Story Three: Slacker seme x overachiever uke The office worker looked at the romance game he'd just gotten into and resolutely uninstalled it. His new favorite character, his beloved, had a real-life model, and that model was his boss. This was absolutely intolerable. His beloved could be made of paper, or even pure cotton... just not a carbon-based, three-dimensional creature, and definitely not his boss! "Do you really not like me?" His usually cool eyes showed a hint of disappointment. "..." He must not waver! This had to be a capitalist's ploy to tempt him into working 996. Story Four: Fake delinquent, genuinely innocent seme x deceptively sweet sea monster uke The retired esports player looked at the new character he'd controlled with his keyboard. That feel, those skills... Tears streamed down his face. If only they'd met while he was still competing. In his excitement, he announced on the spot that this was his new wife. But the very next moment, in the bathroom, he came face-to-face with those ocean-blue eyes. "I heard you summoned me, so I appeared here. Do you want me... to be your wife?" "..." No, I didn't. I was just running my mouth. Story Five: Sunny, cheerful college guy x yandere, corrupted fictional character A newly enrolled college student knows he has a mission: find his virtual lover, who has escaped into the real world. He knows the person must be right by his side, because every night, a pair of mysterious hands caresses his cheek, seeming to whisper something. After watching for days, he corners a classmate who's been following him. "I found you." "Heh..." The gloomy, exquisite face slowly lifted, revealing a sinister smile. "Now that you've found me, you can never leave me behind." "We'll be together forever..." Notes: 1. This is a collection of stories, with different protagonists in each installment. 2. The uke isn't necessarily always a fictional character; he might also be the real-life model for one. The seme isn't necessarily truly in love with fictional characters, but he's definitely lusting after the uke. 3. The stories might not be written in the order shown in the blurb. A logic-free, fluffy episodic romance. Here's a recommendation for my friend's uke-focused novel: I Became the Lord of Nightmares While Trying to Save the Beautiful Boss [Infinite]. Blurb: Here's a three-part dialectical argument: Major premise: Anything that insists it is real should be treated with suspicion. Minor premise: "The world is real" is what the world tells you. Conclusion: The world's reality is questionable. Congratulations! Meng Shanchuan, an E-rank instance NPC, you have awakened as a player. Welcome to Nightmare Space. You'll fight and compete in endless nightmare instances, striving to win this contest and reach the true reality. * Meng Shanchuan was the lowest-ranking NPC, repeatedly killed at the very start of the beginner instance. He had no starting skills, let alone any dazzling talents. Nobody thought much of him. Only later did they realize that all greatness is born from the dust. This Nightmare Space, which had made countless people tremble with fear, shed its terror and coldness to welcome the birth of the Lord of Nightmares. * "He awakened millions and led everyone out of their nightmares. He must be a saint," his followers said. "I just wanted to be worthy of my princess," Meng Shanchuan said. The beautiful boss he'd pursued throughout the nightmare instances climbed up around his neck and breathed into his ear. "You don't need to be worthy of me. We're the same kind." "Beauty is always right." That's what your heart tells you. No premise is needed. The conclusion stands. Gloomy, high-powered, loyal-dog player uke x prickly wild-rose, obsessive boss seme Theme: Accept reality and keep your feet on the ground. Only then can you seize the future.
