The Scummy Bottom Has a New Target

[Blurb]

"Zong" was the hottest nightclub in South City. Qi Xing, the owner, disguised himself as a waiter and fell in love at first sight with Zhou Kaiyue after Zhou helped him out of a tight spot.

Zhou Kaiyue was tall, with long legs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. Add the uniform, and he was practically made for Qi Xing's tastes.

Qi Xing had found his next target.

So Qi Xing laid a web for Zhou Kaiyue, luring him in step by step...

In a private room at Zong, Qi Xing lounged lazily on the sofa. A friend beside him teased him lewdly: "You've been running over to see that tall guy a lot lately! It's been months. Still haven't landed him?"

Qi Xing stood and handed a bottle of liquor to the man in black behind him. He said softly, "Hit me."

The man in black didn't dare. Qi Xing turned the bottle around and smashed it hard against his own shoulder. It shattered instantly, and blood stained his white shirt. Qi Xing acted as if he couldn't feel a thing, only letting the corner of his mouth curl into a beautiful smile. "Guess I need to pick up the pace."

Watching him walk out, everyone in the private room thought the same thing: "He's crazy."

A little over ten minutes later, Zhou Kaiyue ran into the injured Qi Xing while on patrol. His reason told him to stay away from Qi Xing, but his feet still carried him over.

Qi Xing looked up at him with a pale face and smiled. "You're not avoiding me anymore?"

Zhou Kaiyue silently helped him to his feet.

If he could have avoided him, he shouldn't have met Song Qixing in the first place.

Everything about Qi Xing was an illusion...

Qi Xing: I only meant to get him into bed, but I accidentally fell for him.

Zhou Kaiyue: I can't escape. There's no way out.

Blurb for the ongoing novel The Mermaid and the Dog:

[Extremely controlling, frail and disabled bottom x fake-loyal-dog top who plays dumb to catch his prey]

Ke Yu is a dog I picked up from a pile of mud.

When I don't want him anymore, I can kick him out and leave him stuck in the mire, unable to climb out.

I hate him, tease him, and do all kinds of terrible things to him.

Yet little by little, I start to trust him, rely on him, and want him all to myself.

I put him at the heart of the Ke Group's power and give him everything I have.

At the company during the day, we're boss and subordinate. I give him a hard time, and he obeys me.

At night, though, I cling tightly to him and let him take control.

My legs are crippled. I can only feel free in the water.

I kiss Ke Yu in the seawater, and a thought suddenly comes to me: "I wish I were a mermaid." Then I could live forever in the ocean called Ke Yu.

Ke Yu takes my words to heart.

So after dropping his disguise, he keeps me in a huge glass fish tank for his own amusement.

A mermaid's fate is to disappear as bubbles in the sea, while a dog that gets too greedy will ultimately become a stray with nowhere to go.

[First-person narration, both sweet and angsty, with an angsty ending]

Theme: Fall in love, fall down, and get back up again.
