Darling, Are You Asleep?

[A lewd-minded, shameless top vs. a righteous, cool beauty bottom]

A thousand years ago, Ye Yu was banished from the Celestial Realm for killing his mother, the phoenix. Born with a compassionate heart but unable to love, he remained that way until he met Yan Guanqi.

"I love you." Those were the words Yan Guanqi said to him most often, and the last words he left him with.

Ye Yu gave one person many of his firsts: his first time holding hands, cooking, falling for someone, kissing, and being the one on bottom... But after a night of wild abandon, that person vanished without a trace the very next day, as if he had disappeared off the face of the earth.

His first relationship was over just like that.

Six years later, Ye Yu arrived in the Celestial Realm dressed in a sharp suit, only to run into the man who had pulled up his pants and vanished all those years ago. Focused on his career, Ye Yu quickly regained his composure and left as soon as the meeting ended.

The bastard, who had treated him like a stranger at the conference table, came after him. "Long time no see. I..."

Ye Yu slammed the door in his face.

The bastard's inner thoughts: It's been so long since we saw each other. My wife must be shy.

When Ye Yu came out of the bathroom, the bastard had climbed in through the window and shamelessly started tugging at his bathrobe.

Ye Yu slapped him. "If you're horny, go somewhere appropriate! I don't have time to play out some reunion between old lovers with you."

The bastard's inner thoughts: My wife is willing to hit me. He must still have feelings for me.

"You sure have gotten more uninhibited over the years, darling. You even came out without underwear. Good thing you ran into me. What if you'd run into a pervert?"

Ye Yu finally lost his patience and beat him all the way down from the Thirty-Third Heaven to the mortal world.

The bastard's inner thoughts: My wife's love for me reaches from heaven to earth!

Reader's Guide:

1. Suanni demon beast (top) vs. Azure Divine Luan (bottom).

2. The romance is about winning his wife back after having his way with him, but there's no angsty, drawn-out groveling arc.

3. Urban fantasy. The setting serves the story, so don't overthink it.

4. Both leads are strong. If you like watching them fight, there's plenty of hate-fueled passion.

5. One-on-one romance, both virgins, happy ending.

The author is stockpiling chapters. The blurb may be revised before the novel officially launches, but the core will remain the same.
