The Sickly Beauty Is the Obsessive Childhood Friend’s Favorite

Blurb:

On the eve of his wedding, the hotel catches fire.

Xia Lian watches helplessly as Zhang Chen rushes toward his half-brother.

Only then does Xia Lian realize that all these years of love have been one-sided.

Ye Shiqin, a ruthless business tycoon with whom he has barely crossed paths, rushes into the blaze and holds him tightly.

As he dies, Xia Lian wishes that if he gets another life, he will repay Ye Shiqin.

When he opens his eyes again, Xia Lian has been reborn as a five-year-old.

That year, he doesn't know Zhang Chen, and his ungrateful brother's family has just moved in.

Most importantly, Ye Shiqin is there too.

Fortunately, there's still time to change everything.

After Ye Shiqin is sent to this little Jiangnan town, life seems bleak and joyless.

Then one day, a little boy who smells of medicinal herbs knocks on his door.

The boy is frail and gets winded after walking a few steps, but stubbornly presses the candy from his pocket into Ye Shiqin's hand. "When you're unhappy, eat candy. It'll make the hurt fly away!"

Ye Shiqin looks at Xia Lian's radiant smile and cruelly tosses the candy aside. "It tastes bad."

He thinks Xia Lian will give up, but Xia Lian pats his chest. "Then don't eat it. I'll bring you something tastier."

Later,

Ye Shiqin seems bewitched, waiting for Xia Lian at the same time every day.

Later still,

Ye Shiqin kneels before Xia Lian and gently coaxes him to take his medicine. "Lian Lian, one more sip, or I'll kiss you."

What Xia Lian didn't know in his previous life was that after he died, Ye Shiqin stormed into the funeral home like a madman and snatched his ashes from Zhang Chen.

He took back Xia Lian's inheritance and ruined the Zhang family company.

He even defied his entire family and insisted on having Xia Lian's name added to the family register.

And he stayed by Xia Lian's grave for the rest of his life.

The second male lead's perspective:

Only after losing Xia Lian did Zhang Chen realize that he was the person he loved most.

Reborn, Zhang Chen vows to treat Xia Lian right this time.

He goes to Xia Lian's apartment and raises his hand to knock, only to hear an intimate sound from inside.

With bloodshot eyes, Zhang Chen stands outside all night.

The next morning, Ye Shiqin opens the door in a bathrobe, as if he expected him. He says coldly, "Looking for Xia Lian?"

"Go home." Ye Shiqin glances up, casually revealing scratch marks on the side of his neck. He says each word clearly: "He won't be able to get out of bed all week."

- "Pretty Beauty, Turning Straight Men Gay"

Lu Qiuxian, the campus heartthrob in the literature department at Jin University, is beautiful and has a voice like honey.

His porcelain-doll face has turned countless straight men gay.

For certain reasons, Lu Qiuxian becomes Jiang Fanchi's roommate.

Jiang Fanchi, Jin University's campus heartthrob, is famously the dream man of the gay community. Jin University's bottoms voted him the man they most wanted to turn gay.

Unfortunately, Jiang Fanchi is homophobic. Any man who shows interest in him gets the full treatment: deleted and blocked.

Before Lu Qiuxian moves into Jiang Fanchi's dorm, someone tells Jiang Fanchi to be careful.

Jiang Fanchi says, "Impossible. There's no way I'll ever turn gay."

Lu Qiuxian nods. "I believe he has great self-control."

On their first day as roommates,

Jiang Fanchi happens to walk in just as Lu Qiuxian is changing.

The latter turns around in a panic, clutching his clothes, his eyes red with embarrassment.

Lu Qiuxian's eyes grow moist. He bites his lip and speaks in a soft voice. "Jiang, you're back?"

Jiang Fanchi freezes. Three seconds later, Lu Qiuxian watches him flee.

Lu Qiuxian: "?"

Three months after becoming roommates,

Jiang Fanchi wants to be glued to Lu Qiuxian every day. He stays up all night taking care of Lu Qiuxian when he's sick, and becomes restless when Lu Qiuxian goes on a blind date.

In the end, Lu Qiuxian is pinned beneath him, kissed until he's dizzy. "Didn't you say you wouldn't turn gay?"

Jiang Fanchi bites his lip hard. "You were just too pretty."

Rumor has it that Tan Size, head of the Tan family, is about to marry into the Ye family.

The Ye family's young master dislikes the match and already has someone he loves, so he devises a plan to have the servant's son marry Tan Size in his place.

Ye Mingxuan is the son of a servant in the Ye family. He's honest and mild-mannered, timid and meek.

Tan Size took charge of the Tan family at a young age. He's a ruthless force in business.

Everyone thinks Ye Mingxuan will be tormented once he marries Tan Size.

Then one day, at a family dinner, Ye Mingxuan is ignored in a corner. Tan Size pushes through the crowd and kneels before him. "Why aren't you wearing your shoes properly? If you catch cold, I'll be the one who suffers."

-

How could Tan Size not know about the Ye family's little switcheroo?

He'd planned to make them pay, but changed his mind after seeing Ye Mingxuan's beautiful features and slender waist.

Heard Ye Mingxuan has someone he likes?

Tan Size pins Ye Mingxuan against one-way glass. Ye Mingxuan can clearly see his crush frantically searching for him.

"Please, don't do this..." Ye Mingxuan trembles as he cries.

"Louder," Tan Size bites Ye Mingxuan's shoulder. "Let him know what you're doing. Isn't that exciting?"

-

Ye Mingxuan thinks marrying Tan Size will only mean taking the title in name, since a man of Tan Size's background surely wouldn't be interested in him.

But later, at school, in the villa, at the office, and through every unspeakable night, he can't escape Tan Size's control.
