My Rich Childhood Friend and I Took Our Pretend Romance for Real

The complete edition is only 4.4 yuan. Come on in and enjoy~

Tan Chen has been my childhood friend.

Born into a wealthy family and handsome to boot, with sharp brows, broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a height of 185 centimeters.

One day, though, he came to me, troubled, and confided that he had someone he liked: a girl.

She wore a white dress and had a sweet smile. He was just worried his parents wouldn’t accept her.

I said, “Easy. Just take a guy home first. Then they’ll be able to accept anyone.”

Then Tan Chen gazed at me with deep affection. “Yuyu, will you help me?”

Me: “...”

At the time, I figured we’d been brothers for over a decade. If I didn’t help him, who would?

So I resolutely stepped into his house, only for his parents to look me over calmly and say, “Not bad. We know this kid inside and out.”

His parents: “We wish you two a lifetime of happiness.”

Me: “?”

To keep his parents from being heartbroken, I was forced to start playing the part of Tan Chen’s boyfriend, and we went all in.

Not only did I have to put up with his already overbearing need for control, his jealousy, and his occasional split personality,

I also had to hold his hand, hug him, kiss him, and, in the end, accidentally sleep with him!

Bent over and barely conscious, I kept thinking: Wait, wasn’t my buddy into girls?

Later, I finally found a photo of his “crush” in Tan Chen’s desk drawer.

She looked like a girl, wearing a white dress and smiling sweetly. The photo had yellowed a little with age.

Me: “?”

I shook with rage.

That bastard! It was an old photo of me!

1. The main story is told in third person! A sweet little romance, under 200,000 words in total.

2. This isn’t a case of turning a straight guy gay. The bottom simply doesn’t realize he’s in love, and the gay feelings are strong! They’re mutually devoted and heal each other!

3. The top will stop at nothing to get his childhood friend. He’s a scheming little bastard. All his antics are for the sake of the plot, so please don’t apply them to real life!

A little preview of my next novel: I Sink into Ruin with the Villain

There’s a direct link pinned in the comments. Here’s the blurb:

There are always villains in stories who act with extreme, deranged abandon. They’re dangerous through and through, and even their love is both mad and fervent.

The protagonist they fixate on should be terrified, trembling before them and desperately trying to escape.

But in reality

Protagonist: How could I ever leave him?

Protagonist: Does a mad, obsessive love stop being love just because it’s mad?

[World One] Genius Guide x “Murderous” Psychopath Sentinel

They were like mirror images, with the closest genetic match in the world, yet they ended up in entirely different heavens and hells.

In the psychopath’s eyes, the genius might never understand his almost religious obsession and longing for him, just as light could never reach the darkest corners.

Until Judgment Day, when he sat shoulder to shoulder with the genius.

The genius suddenly leaned close and gently pressed his forehead against his. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

[World Two] Beautiful Young Master x Exile from the Wasteland

An exile from the most barren, polluted region has spent years living on the brink of death.

He feels no pain and doesn’t care about his wounds. He thought his only destiny was to keep growing stronger.

Until one day, the beautiful young master charged into a horde of monsters and dragged him out despite the danger. Tears of worry streaked his grimy, battered face. “Don’t get hurt.”

“Please, don’t hurt yourself again.”

[World Three] Fragile Ghost-Bride x Cruel Vengeful Spirit

The one everyone in the family feared had died. Rumor had it that he would return as a vengeful spirit on the seventh night after his death.

The only way to restrain him was to send him a ghost-bride.

The bride was soft and fragile. One could only imagine the torment she would suffer.

Yet on their wedding night, beneath the terrifying shadow of the vengeful spirit, the bride clutched the red string binding them together. Though his whole body trembled, his determination was astonishing. “Don’t you dare send me away.”

“I’m not leaving.”

Every frightening, consuming desire turns gentle and careful when it meets the protagonist.

Because the other person loves him just as fiercely and desperately, holding him with all their might even with a frail or trembling body, and sinking into ruin alongside him.

Theme: Cherish the people by your side
