I Became Everyone's Favorite After Developing a Skin Hunger Disorder

Please add my upcoming novel, A Comfort Dog for the Wolf King, to your reading list! Blurb at the bottom ↓ == This Novel's Blurb == Shanzhu had been sickly since childhood. After starting college, he developed a severe need for skin-to-skin contact. If he went too long without touching his roommates, his whole body hurt. Roommate No. 1: a famous acting major who shot to stardom young, with countless fans. Gentle and elegant, with a mature charm. Roommate No. 2: a sprinter with abs you could play hide-and-seek in. Handsome, sunny, and bursting with hormones. Roommate No. 3: a mysterious computer science genius. He seemed refined and aloof, but was actually dark-hearted and mean. What they had in common: They were all handsome, and all extremely straight. Shanzhu, who was terrified of pain: "Guess I'll have to impose on you guys!" But to avoid being mistaken for a pervert, Shanzhu did everything he could to hide his condition. "Reading?" He patted Roommate No. 1 on the shoulder, and his headache went away. "Want to eat together?" He tugged on Roommate No. 2's hand, and his stomach stopped hurting. "You're sweating." He touched Roommate No. 3's face, and his back stopped hurting. He had no idea that his roommates were looking at him more and more strangely. Then an accident exposed his condition. But instead of blaming him, everyone became even more eager to cuddle up with him, doing all they could to help him get better. Shanzhu: "Don't ask. It's just the kind of brotherly love that moves heaven and earth." Gradually, Shanzhu stopped hurting. But then he began craving physical intimacy with people. Even simple touches weren't enough anymore. Only a tight hug could make him feel a little better! And his roommates stopped pretending, too His gentle first roommate held him tight and asked with a low chuckle if he felt good. His handsome second roommate took his hand and guided it over his abs, asking hoarsely if he liked it. Even his third roommate, who loved acting aloof, pinned him against the desk and let his true nature show. "I hear kissing can keep your symptoms away for a whole day." "Helping each other out once can keep you bouncing around for three days." "The full workout can keep you symptom-free for a week." "Want to give it a try?" Shanzhu: Wait, why are you all acting so weird? [Reading Guide] 1. The shou is a straight male heartthrob, but the cute-and-lovably-brainless kind. If that's not your thing, please don't read! 2. At first, the shou gets sick if he doesn't touch his roommates. Later, his skin hunger turns into a craving for cuddles. Slice of life, with one main love interest. 3. The roommate with the most scenes in the blurb is the main love interest. 4. I'm an equal-opportunity reader. These are all the possible content warnings I can think of for now. I'll add more if they come up in the comments. If anything catches you off guard, please go easy on me (bows). ★ Please add my upcoming novel, A Comfort Dog for the Wolf King, to your reading list! ★ After An Ye died, he was reincarnated as a Samoyed. His owner was the head of a national shelter for rare animals. Content to lie flat, An Ye spent every day eating, drinking, strolling around, and sleeping. He was living the lazy life he'd dreamed of in his previous life. Until one day, the shelter director brought home a rare Arctic snow wolf. The wolf was badly injured and refused to eat or drink. The director suspected it was depressed from being lonely without a companion, so he sent An Ye to keep it company. An Ye was thrilled. He was going to raise a snow wolf! How cool was that? But the wolf was way too aloof, so An Ye tried every trick in the book to act cute and make it play with him. At last, thanks to his tireless efforts, the wolf recovered and soon returned to its majestic, imposing self. It also became incredibly clingy, wanting to eat from the same bowl as An Ye, sleep with its arms around him, and lick his fur several times a day. What could An Ye do? He had to spoil the wolf he'd raised. But he never expected to see a spaceship land at the shelter one day, only for the snow wolf he'd cuddled for so long to transform into a silver-haired hunk who stood 1.9 meters tall! The handsome man scooped the stunned An Ye into his arms, said goodbye to the director, and took him aboard the spaceship to a strange planet inhabited by beastfolk. The snow wolf turned out to be the empire's second prince. An Ye, a little dog who had once been human and was now a Samoyed, had suddenly become part of the imperial family! He could lie flat with an even clearer conscience! But after breathing the air on the beastfolk planet for a while, An Ye actually turned back into a human! And the second prince, who'd always doted on him as his precious pet, started looking at him in a very different way... Theme: If you're sick, get treated promptly. Don't let it become a serious illness.
