The Sickly Young Master's Married Life

[Updates at 9 a.m.]

Wen Baisu was close to death.

On his twenty-second birthday, he finally agreed to meet the person he'd been promised to as a child.

That person, Xing Yan, had been saved by the Wen family when he was young and near death.

Later, a fortune-teller read Wen Baisu's fate and named this man as his one hope of survival.

Wen Baisu didn't want to hold him back, but he couldn't ignore his family's sorrow and pleas.

He had planned to ask the man to play along for a while after they met. Then they could go their separate ways, and the other man wouldn't have to repay a debt of gratitude with such a ridiculous arrangement.

On the first day they met,

Xing Yan was unfailingly polite and attentive to the sickly Wen Baisu.

But behind his back, he called a friend and said, "There's no telling if he'll even live to see our wedding day. I'll take care of him for a while, so his family can feel at ease."

Listening from around the corner, Wen Baisu nodded with satisfaction. At least he wasn't an idiot.

After they were married, Wen Baisu attended one of Xing Yan's gatherings for the first time.

"Brother Xing has someone he loves. You'd better stay away from him, you sickly thing."

Wen Baisu couldn't stop coughing, worrying that he might damage Xing Yan's relationship with the person he loved.

When their month of living together came to an end, Wen Baisu packed his things, ready to return to his grandfather.

Xing Yan stood in the living room holding a bouquet of roses.

Wen Baisu: ?

Wen Baisu: What are you doing?

Xing Yan was even more stunned. Why are you leaving, honey?

Coming soon

Coming soon: The Lazy Beauty Transmigrates into an Abused Novel's Bottom. Blurb:

Bai Ji transmigrated into an explicit abuse novel, where he was the protagonist's bottom.

As a fan of sweet romance, he'd always avoided angsty novels. This was his first time reading one, and he got dropped right into this awful role.

For a moment, Bai Ji was tempted to close his eyes and give up, but his timing couldn't have been more perfect...

The original owner had just divorced the protagonist top after being scorned by him. He had a house, a car, and a huge fortune, and hadn't yet become a target for all kinds of people in the entertainment industry.

Bai Ji loved a life of comfort, so he quickly decided to lie flat.

The only downside was that the original owner had only recently signed an entertainment contract. He couldn't just walk away.

His dedicated agent searched high and low and finally picked a dating reality show for Bai Ji, sending him on as a civilian contestant.

The show featured a powerful CEO from a rival entertainment company, a hot new top-tier star with a wolfish charm, a celebrated genius screenwriter, and a highly decorated movie emperor.

They were all villains in the original novel.

Bai Ji: ...

Bai Ji brought out every trait of an abused-novel bottom and cried so pitifully in his agent's office that he said he'd rather go on the survival reality show next door.

Bai Ji's superb acting melted his agent's heart and even made the head of the parent company, passing by, fall for him.

So Bai Ji left the office, only to learn moments later that he still had to go on the dating show, but they'd added someone from the company so he wouldn't have to worry.

Trusting the company, which had stayed unsullied by the muck of the original novel, Bai Ji carefully stepped into the dating show.

Character profiles:

A bottom with top-notch acting skills who knows how to make the most of his looks. He's smart but doesn't like using his brain, and would rather lie down than sit, or sit than stand x A mature, steady, "older" top who loves seeing people cry and is an expert at comforting them; blunt and earnest in love.

[Reading Guide]

· The protagonist is bisexual (one of the author's personal preferences and part of the story setting). If that's a deal-breaker, click the X in the upper-left corner. Please don't invent problems to nitpick.

· A sweet romance. The top is the best guy around and knows how to protect his wife.

· Calling him "wife" is a pet name and part of their flirting.

· The survival reality show will have plot, too. These are the only two shows in the career storyline: the little slacker has no ambition.

Coming soon: Leopard's Life of Farming in the Beast World. Blurb:

[This story has no schemes, conspiracies, or complicated backstories. It's about a protagonist who hates scheming, quickly settles into the beast world, falls in love, farms, hunts, and raises a baby.]

After acting on impulse, Qiu Yan quit his crappy job. Then his landlady showed up and said she wanted the apartment back for her grandson.

With what little savings he had, he had no choice but to look for a cheap rental where he could stay temporarily.

Qiu Yan never expected that things could get so bad he'd fall into a well. What he hadn't expected was that the saying "when things hit rock bottom, they turn around" was actually true: he transmigrated.

In a dense, towering forest, a huge leopard rose to its feet, shaking its head, its eyes full of innocent stupidity.

The big cat's mind was jammed with the rules of the beast world flooding into it, and it stumbled over its backpack in a daze.

*

Thanks for asking.

I'm in the beast world, and I've become a big cat.

But I can't walk.

Oh, and I've become a sub-beastman, the kind that gives birth to babies.

*

After finally learning how to walk, Qiu Yan at last!

Got picked up...

The great Beast God didn't just drop him, a visitor from another world, in some random place. The tribe's beastmen discovered the intruder and took in this wandering sub-beastman from who knows where. They even enthusiastically assigned him a "partner."

One of the three great sayings of Huaguo: Since you're already here.

Qiu Yan, who loved this simple world, rolled up his sleeves and got ready to take on life.
