Since when? Your system must be broken! After the staff explained the rules, the huge prize money left Lan Yan reeling. Lan Yan’s eyes glistened with tears. “That’s right, I have a partner. We’ve known, loved, and understood each other for eight years, but... well, in the end, we decided to let each other go and find our own true love.” The staff were moved to tears too. “Oh! We wish you both the best~” The soon-to-arrive ex: “?” - With his most dedicated acting and the perfect script, Lan Yan and his “true love” were a hit on the livestream.

His smile was even more tender than it had been on the livestream. “Darling~ You’re done showering?” His mouth was already used to sweet talk. He gave a wink and blew a string of kisses. “I’m going to shower now~” Before leaving, he lovingly stroked the balance in his account, reluctant to go. Fang Xiuxin, fresh out of the shower: “...” His mouth twitched. He thought, This little liar who loves fake-crying only looks truly sweet when he’s staring at money. - Joining a dating show, winning prize money, filming, and then turning make-believe into reality... Fang Xiuxin wondered how things had ended up like this, one step at a time. Fang Xiuxin searched his heart and decided he must have been bewitched. Lan Yan rubbed his face against Fang Xiuxin’s and said softly, “Darling, I didn’t mean to...” He made himself sound pitiful, his gaze full of tender affection. Fang Xiuxin frowned in pain. “...” He wanted to curse. Forget it. With a long sigh, he covered his eyes with his arm. “Do what you want. Just don’t go too far... that’s all.” Lan Yan smiled and kissed him. “You’re the best!” Yeah, yeah, yeah! He really does fall for this!

One night, he stayed up gaming until he dropped dead, but when he opened his eyes, he was alive again. A black ball circled him, telling him he had transmigrated into some novel or other as a cannon-fodder passerby top. Xu Mu had no idea what that meant. Convinced he was hallucinating, he waved the black ball away. Bzzzt, A few seconds later, the noisy black ball vanished. So it really was a hallucination. Satisfied, he smiled, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. - One day, while out for a walk, Xu Mu came across an injured rabbit. Thinking of the rabbit he had raised in his previous life, he felt a little sad. Moved by that memory, he decided to bandage the rabbit’s wound. But the rabbit kept struggling and wouldn’t cooperate. Xu Mu: “Be good. I’ll take you home and bandage your wound.” The rabbit stopped struggling. Xu Mu thought, You’re fierce, but you’re pretty smart. Once he finished bandaging the rabbit, it ran off without even looking back. Xu Mu felt a little regretful. His wish to raise another rabbit had come to nothing. - Xu Mu went back to his life as a shut-in. One day, the doorbell rang. A fair, gentle-looking man wearing glasses stood at the door, offering him a box of cookies. In a soft voice, he said, “Hello, I’m your new neighbor. I just moved in...” Xu Mu didn’t catch the rest. All his attention had gone to the box of cookies. I’m so hungry. The man smiled warmly. “Go ahead and have some.” Xu Mu gobbled them down, then said a little sheepishly, “Thank you.” “You’re welcome. If you like them, I have more at home. Would you like me to bring you some?” Xu Mu was tempted. Who doesn’t love milky cookies? - Having a nice neighbor who could cook and often dropped by was a wonderful experience. Xu Mu regularly got treats and juice, and sometimes the man invited him over for dinner. In just a few short months, Xu Mu went from being anxious about imposing to taking it all for granted. Xu Mu thought it wasn’t right to keep eating for free, so he handed the man his bank card. The man’s eyes slowly widened. “You... what do you mean?” His face gradually turned red, a blush spreading across his skin. Xu Mu didn’t notice. Focused on his game, he hurriedly shoved the card at him. “Here.” Use it to cover all my food expenses. Sorry to put you to the trouble. - Recently, the man had been bringing food over more often. He also played games with Xu Mu every day and even helped him clean the house. Xu Mu could tell something was off, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. One night, Xu Mu had a little to drink and, feeling dizzy, went back to his room. The moment he opened the door, an unusual scent filled his nose. Xu Mu froze. The gray blanket slipped slowly down, revealing the man’s pale, delicate shoulders, which gleamed beneath the lamplight. His eyes glistened as he softly called Xu Mu’s name. “Xu Mu, I...” The man’s fingers trembled, as if he were too embarrassed to speak. “I’m going into heat...” Xu Mu: “???” - On the day Bai Nianye moved into his new home, an old ailment flared up and he could no longer maintain his human form. He collapsed by the road and was taken home by a kind stranger, who bandaged his wounds. That stranger was his new neighbor. The man had a cold expression and looked unapproachable, but to Bai Nianye’s surprise, his touch was very gentle. Feeling embarrassed, Bai Nianye hurried away once his wounds were bandaged. Later, feeling he had been rude, he went to the man’s home in person to thank him and learned his name. Xu Mu. As they got to know each other, Xu Mu often helped him whenever he couldn’t maintain his disguised form. He didn’t look down on Bai Nianye even after learning he was an intersex, malformed person. Bai Nianye didn’t know how to repay him, so he brought him delicious food and invited him over for meals. But there was one problem Xu Mu seemed to really enjoy playing with... rabbits. At first, he would hold Bai Nianye and bury his face in his belly, breathing him in deeply. Gradually, he started tugging his ears, then rubbing his back, and eventually he even kissed his face. Every time, Bai Nianye was so flustered he didn’t know what to do. Whenever he tried to refuse, the other man would only tease him more. He would tremble uncontrollably, unable to muster any strength. Because he was in his disguised form, he was even more sensitive... Bai Nianye couldn’t take it and wanted to run away, but Xu Mu would lower his voice and coax him, saying he liked him. Bai Nianye was so hopeless that a man more than ten years younger sweet-talked him into a daze, touching him all over until he could only curl up and lie across Xu Mu’s knees, covering his eyes with his ears and cursing himself for having no backbone. Xu Mu couldn’t tell which of those declarations of love were real and which were fake, so he simply kept deceiving himself. Until one day, Xu Mu handed him a bank card. On Nikari, this is a formal way of confessing your love. Xu Mu (top) x Bai Nianye (receiver) A beastfolk world, but the top doesn’t know that at first.
