It’s Never Too Early to Find a Husband to Grow Old With

My next novel will be Raising a Kid Like a Tough Guy, Just Stay Alive Blurb: Silly sweetheart x cold, antisocial boy Shen Lou was the illegitimate child the Shen family kept hidden, with a gloomy, antisocial personality that made him hard to like. The Shen family sent him away to board at a kindergarten in another city, preferring to keep him out of sight and out of mind. On Shen Lou's first day at kindergarten, he hid alone inside the slide. From far away, he saw a little white dumpling dash out of the crowd and run up to him, hands on his knees as he panted and stared at him. Shen Lou clenched his fists in secret, ready for a fight. - Ruan Yuan had been sad lately. There was a big black stray dog downstairs from his home. It didn't like being petted or barking, and always wanted to be by itself. It even looked sinister when it watched people. Everyone disliked Big Black, but Ruan Yuan loved it and wanted to bring it home. But when he had bought dog food and a dog bed, he discovered that Big Black had died. His parents told him that Big Black would surely come back to his side in another form, so Ruan Yuan kept hoping to see it again. Then kindergarten started, and he saw the new boy. Ruan Yuan grabbed the boy's head and ruffled his hair wildly. "Big Black, you really came back! I've missed you so, so much." Shen Lou: ? Ruan Yuan pulled out a candy and said a little sheepishly, "Big Black, I didn't bring dog food today, so you'll have to make do with candy." - The Ruan family had recently noticed that their snacks were disappearing quickly. One night, they caught Ruan Yuan holding a flashlight, bottom sticking up in the air, secretly stuffing sausages into his little backpack. "Yuan Yuan, what are you doing?" "Um... raising a puppy." - Ten years later, everyone in An City knew that Shen Lou, the newly appointed head of the Shen family, was intimidating even when he was calm, ruthless in his methods, and a force to be reckoned with in business. Only in front of Ruan Yuan would Shen Lou lower his eyes, rein in his sharp edges, and turn into a clingy follower. He even had to trail behind Ruan Yuan at his graduation party. Seeing the business tycoon behind Ruan Yuan, his classmates trembled. Ruan Yuan nudged Shen Lou and pursed his lips as he reminded him, "Don't be mean to them." Shen Lou brushed a bit of cake from the corner of his mouth. "Mm, I won't." - Warnings and Notes 1. Bottom-focused story. Ruan Yuan is a thoroughly heroic main character and everyone's darling from childhood to adulthood. The story mainly revolves around him. During his childhood, Ruan Yuan is a truly passionate, silly sweetheart, the leader of the sweet-and-naive school of thought: chatty, clingy, and scatterbrained. He can talk to anyone, and once he gets going, he'll try to get you to down a couple of bottles (not really). 2. Childhood sweethearts who aren't each other's first love? That really wouldn't make sense. - Coming Soon: Raising a Kid Like a Tough Guy, Just Stay Alive. A heartwarming, everyday-life story with the top as protagonist. Tough-guy CEO top x snail-maiden, homemaker bottom x adorable mini little top Yao Bai was a standard overbearing CEO. A born work machine and overtime fiend, when the company got busy, he could roll up his sleeves and work alongside the staff. His daily life was a straight line between the gym and the office. Nobody had ever seen him smile, and his subordinates privately called him the Living Grim Reaper. One early morning, Yao Bai opened the door to go for a run. There was a little kid crouched by his doorway, head down as he counted ants. He wore a checked shirt and overalls, had tiny arms and legs, and was holding a little baby bottle. More alarming still, the child had exactly the same face Yao Bai had as a child. Wasn't that clearly Yao Bai at three years old? Little Yao Bai turned his head to speak, hiccuping and quivering in his baby-soft voice, his chubby cheeks pink and round. "W-who are you? Why are you at my house?" Yao Bai slammed the door shut. Impossible. He could never have been that stupid as a kid. - So his younger self wouldn't be left to fend for himself on the street, Yao Bai eventually took Little Yao Bai in. Little Yao Bai was fussy and vain. He wanted warm milk in the morning. He wouldn't go to kindergarten without pretty clothes. And he wanted his dinners to have a balance of meat and vegetables. Yao Bai mixed the formula with cold water, tossed a thermal shirt on Little Yao Bai inside out, used long underwear as a scarf, then styled his hair with wet hands. He cooked a steak until it was twenty times overdone, then handed it to Little Yao Bai with a cold expression. "Now there are no germs left. You can eat it without worrying." With a bird's-nest hairdo, Little Yao Bai puffed out his cheeks and chewed the steak with all his might. His little face crumpled into a pained frown, and he sighed. "Yao Bai, what kind of life did you live before you had me?" To help Big Yao Bai live a normal life, Little Yao Bai looked around and eventually decided that Yao Bai's secretary, Tao Tao, seemed reliable. He tugged at Tao Tao's clothes and looked up to ask, "Big brother, could I ask you to take care of Yao Bai from now on?" Tao Tao: ?! Could it be that Little Yao Bai had already figured out he'd had a crush on Yao Bai for decades? - Word spread around the industry that Yao Bai was married and had a kid, but not a single photo ever got out. The industry's most sought-after bachelor had been snatched up, and rumors immediately began flying. Some said Yao Bai's wife was ugly and couldn't be shown in public. Others said Yao Bai, who'd built his fortune from nothing, had married into a wealthy family, and his wife's powerful family must look down on him. Some even started attacking the child's appearance. Then one day, the parenting variety show produced by Yao Bai's company began airing. Yao Bai's family appeared on camera as special guest stars. Tao Tao held Little Yao Bai in his arms, then turned to look at Yao Bai with a gaze so intense it practically dripped with affection. [You call that look between Tao Tao and Yao Bai a bad relationship?] [Little Yao Bai looks almost exactly like President Yao. President Yao ranked 13th on last year's list of the world's 100 most handsome men, and you're calling this kid ugly? Excuse me?] [Wait, has nobody noticed that Tao Tao's belly looks a little unusually big...?] [Oh my god... President Yao's really won at life.] [My President Yao has really won at life!] [Oh my god... Forget everything else, I'm dreaming about President Yao tonight! (Gently closes eyes)] - Warnings: Top-focused story! The plot revolves around Yao Bai. An everyday-life story about raising a kid and falling in love. The bottom has a crush on the top. The bottom gazes at the top, and the top spoils the bottom. Basically, a story about a family of three healing one another. A little everyday sweetness~ Theme: Cast aside worldly distractions and bravely follow the voice of your heart.
