[ A sweet little story about a pretty airhead getting tricked into lovey-dovey things by his straight boss~ ]

1.

Huai Yan is a top-tier star. He's famous not only for his devastatingly handsome face, but also for his eternally expressionless acting, which has earned him the nickname "Pretty AI" from netizens.

Yet this aloof star, who barely responds to anyone, turns impossibly soft in front of Jin Ze. He can barely get a word out, and can only lower his head with a blush.

2.

Huai Yan has a secret: he likes his rival's boss, Jin Ze.

But Jin Ze is a bona fide straight man, the sort who wrinkles his nose in disgust at the sight of two men holding hands.

After a long separation, they reunite on a dating show where the contestants' sexual orientations are uncertain.

Straight or gay, it's all an unknown.

Huai Yan has no choice but to hide the fact that he likes men, pretending to be straight so he can stay on the same side as Jin Ze.

3.

During the segment where contestants choose the person who makes their heart flutter to accompany them to an island, Jin Ze chooses Huai Yan without hesitation and shares a couple's bed with him.

"I can't be sure about other people's orientation, but you and I are both straight men. There's no problem with sharing a bed, right? And if you get cold, just hold me and you won't be cold anymore..."

Huai Yan's heart pounds with nervousness.

But he's heard that real straight men don't care about this sort of thing, so he can only blush and reach out.

To keep up the act of being straight, Jin Ze invites him to shower together, and he agrees.

Jin Ze asks him to help change his clothes, and he does.

Jin Ze asks him to...?

"Bro, don't you think this is kind of weird for two straight guys...?"

Jin Ze holds down his body, softened by kisses, then lifts him into his arms. "It's perfectly normal for straight guys to kiss."

4.

The next day, after being forcibly carried back to Jin Ze's house, Huai Yan gets up with aching hips and legs. He sees photos of himself from every age covering the room, and, still stunned, has his lips captured in a kiss.

Huai Yan: "This is normal? You're straight?!"

Jin Ze nods innocently. "I didn't lie. I'm straight. I just happen to like men."

If I'd known you were gay too, I wouldn't have pretended!

What a scheming top!!!

1. This isn't a pining-in-secret story, just a sweet tale of mutual spoiling~

2. They're each other's first love, childhood friends. The top is genuinely straight at first, and doesn't realize he's turned gay. Once he realizes his feelings have changed, he starts pretending to be straight along with the bottom, competing to see who can act better. They're the only ones who think they're straight~

Don't steal my work! Get out of China, you thieves!!!

The cover is a purchased template, so it's normal if you've seen it elsewhere~

Upcoming: Don't You Dare Covet the Pretty Little Elf!

[ A feisty, adorable elf bottom x a stodgy top ]

Xia Baibai is a dream elf. He sneaks into human dreams to eat their nightmares and give them sweet dreams.

But his magical powers aren't strong enough yet, so he can't satisfy people who dream of getting mountains of gold and silver, fancy cars, and beautiful companions.

After ranking last in his line of work for several months in a row, he's on the verge of losing his job.

After much soul-searching, Xia Baibai finally finds a billionaire CEO.

The CEO has money and a house, and keeps a very old-fashioned schedule. Xia Baibai is pleased, thinking that surely his dreams won't be so shallow.

As it turns out, the CEO only wants someone to be his good buddy.

Xia Baibai does his best to make the man's dream come true.

But...

Holding hands at first is understandable, but what does he mean by wanting to kiss me?

After spending some time together, Xia Baibai watches the CEO's dreams grow more and more outrageous, and finally can't take it anymore. He goes to see him.

"Ahem, I'm a dream elf. What do you want?"

The CEO takes it very seriously. After thinking it over for a day and a night, he brings his ID, household registration booklet, and proof of assets, then sets down a huge pile in front of Xia Baibai.

"Hello. Marry me."

Xia Baibai: ...Huh?

Bo Yan suspects he's possessed. Otherwise, why would he see a little elf in his dreams every night?

The elf is short, but has quite a temper. He squats in a corner of Bo Yan's dreams, eating something unknown.

With his mouth stuffed full, he still manages to threaten them fiercely, telling them not to come back.

Bo Yan has had sweet dreams for ages now, and every one of them features that bright-eyed little elf.

His old heart has caught fire.

He thinks it's fate, a match sent by heaven.

But before long, the little elf actually runs away from his dreams.

Bo Yan puts in a great deal of effort and finally brings him back from someone else's sweet dream.

Caught, Xia Baibai blushes and bristles. "Don't think I don't know what kind of dreams you've been having! You call that wanting a good buddy?"

Bo Yan gently smooths down his bristling hair. "I said from the beginning that I wanted a wife..."

Who are you calling your wife?!

You're getting more shameless by the day, damn it!
