[Thanks for your support! Please add my upcoming novels, The Clumsy, Soft Little Cat's Villain Wife Plan Goes Wrong and Reborn with the Scum Ex's Older Brother's Baby, to your reading lists~ Their blurbs are at the very bottom~]

● Blurb:

(Well, the title can't include the word "gege," so I can only use "giegie" instead. This isn't a silly comedy, QAQ.)

1. Sui Nian and his ex-husband, Wei Sheng, had a marriage of convenience. They agreed that it would be about benefits, not feelings.

Only Sui Nian knew he harbored an unspeakable feeling. He was actually in love with Wei Sheng.

Wei Sheng had a good personality and was gentle with everyone.

As the end of their agreement approached, Sui Nian finally worked up the courage to confess. Even when rejecting him, Wei Sheng remained impeccably polite: "I'm sorry."

Sui Nian accepted his fate.

On their wedding anniversary, Wei Sheng didn't come home. He took a drunk colleague to a hotel and looked after her all night. Half-joking, Sui Nian said, "Hey, our agreement hasn't reached its final day yet. We're not divorced."

Wei Sheng smiled faintly. "She's just a friend. Why do you always assume the worst of people?"

Only then did Sui Nian realize that Wei Sheng was kind, but he was kind to everyone.

Then their agreement expired, and the two divorced.

After being hurt in his marriage, Sui Nian didn't want another relationship. But one day, when he went to his younger brother's school to drop something off, he met his brother's handsome roommate, a campus heartthrob who was always calling him "gege" and showering him with enthusiasm.

This young man, Shen Jinzhen, forcefully made his way into Sui Nian's life.

When they went hiking together, Sui Nian twisted his ankle. The young man carried him all the way out of the mountains, step by step.

When Sui Nian fell ill, the young man, who had grown up in the lap of luxury, took care of him attentively and without complaint.

Only after discovering Shen Jinzhen's other identity did Sui Nian realize that both their meeting and the later change in their relationship had been carefully engineered by Shen Jinzhen.

2. Shen Jinzhen fell in love with Sui Nian at first sight.

They first met in the dormitory. Sui Nian had such captivating beauty, yet seemed unaware of his own allure. Even the corners of his eyes seemed to hold a come-hither look.

Shen Jinzhen fell for him at a glance and became obsessed with him.

But when he learned that Sui Nian had someone he loved deeply and a happy marriage, Shen Jinzhen despaired, as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

Who could have guessed that fate would take such a turn?

Sui Nian got divorced. His ex-husband hadn't known how to cherish him.

That man was so lucky, Shen Jinzhen thought. Whatever had happened between them, they were divorced now, so he wasn't going to let him compete for Sui Nian again.

--

3. After the divorce, Wei Sheng came to his senses. Thinking he still had a chance, he went to Sui Nian to ask for reconciliation.

But at Sui Nian's home, he encountered a handsome, aloof stranger. The man wore pajamas and spoke in a casual, familiar tone, as if he were the master of the house.

The man glanced at him and smiled politely. "Are you Niannian's friend? He's in the shower right now, but you can tell me what you need. It's all the same."

It felt as though a heavy hammer had struck Wei Sheng's head. By the time he came to, he had already fled the residential complex.

Sui Nian had just finished showering and walked out of the bathroom. "Did someone come by just now?"

Shen Jinzhen's smile didn't change. "No. You must have heard wrong, gege."

[PS] Younger man/older man romance, both are each other's only partner. The one in the receptive role won't fall for him before their marriage-of-convenience agreement ends. (Ahem, a deal is a deal.)

● Upcoming novel: The Unloved Little Darling Becomes the Villain's Cat. Blurb:

After his mother died and his father remarried, Qi Nuo became a pitiful child nobody loved. Though he was the young master of the Qi family, he was treated worse than his stepmother's dog.

After a car accident, he opened his eyes to find that he had become an adorable Ragdoll kitten, and had been bound to a System. Only then did Qi Nuo learn that the world he lived in was a novel, and he had become the villain's cat.

Back home, Qi Nuo had been unwelcome and could only do his best to make himself invisible. But now...

He lived in a warm room, ate delicious canned food, and the villain even brushed his fur.

Kittens couldn't help shedding, and soon cat hair was all over the home of the cleanliness-obsessed villain. Once Qi Nuo realized the villain liked him, he stuck to the villain at every opportunity.

Then the villain shut him out while using the bathroom.

Kitten Qi Nuo: QAQ

In the end, the villain used a can of cat food to win the silly kitten back over.

--

One day, someone drugged and framed the great villain. The kitten was terrified, but after much inner conflict, he heroically sacrificed himself and, with the System's help, counteracted the drug's effects.

When the villain woke up again, he couldn't find the young man from the night before. Meanwhile, a certain kitten was crying and covering his butt, furiously swatting the villain several times with his paws.

The great villain had paw-print marks on his handsome face and could think of nothing but how to find the young man from the night before.

One day, Qi Nuo secretly turned into a human and slipped out to have fun, only to be caught red-handed by the great villain.

The latter grabbed his wrist, eyes bloodshot, and ground out, "Still trying to hide from me?"

The kitten complained indignantly, "It's because you're so bad at it that my butt hurts."

The great villain said, "Be good. It wasn't because I'm bad at it. I'll take responsibility for you."

Kitten: QAQ

--

From then on, a young man appeared by the great villain's side. He had an especially beautiful pair of eyes, just like the kitten the great villain kept.

The Qi family had always gone to great lengths to curry favor with the great villain. When they discovered that the young man he treasured like the apple of his eye was Qi Nuo, whom they had once discarded like trash, they were stunned!

● Upcoming novel: Reborn with the Scum Ex's Older Brother's Baby. Blurb:

Zhou Mu returned to five years ago, before anything had happened. He was once again the carefree young master with a happy family, with both his parents and his older brother by his side.

But things were different now. Even given the chance to start over, he still remembered his parents' tragic deaths and his brother being framed. He had gone to Lin Ao, his husband in name only, for help, but Lin Ao had thrown a divorce agreement at him and done everything possible to distance himself from Zhou Mu.

It was Lin Ao's cousin, Lin Xiaojin, who had secretly helped Zhou Mu when he was at the end of his rope.

After Zhou Mu died, Lin Xiaojin went mad. Everyone who had framed the Zhou family was thrown in prison, one by one, and none of them met a good end.

Later, on a rainy day, Lin Xiaojin came alone to Zhou Mu's grave. He cast aside his wheelchair and pressed his handsome face against the tombstone, grief so piercing in his eyes that it was the first time he had ever let it show.

Zhou Mu heard him murmur through his sobs, "In your next life... don't choose Lin Ao. He isn't worth it..."

Zhou Mu's soul drifted beside him, his grief twisting him nearly beyond recognition. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Okay."

--

When Zhou Mu opened his eyes again, he saw his mother, her face full of worry. "Xiao Mu, are you really going to agree to the marriage alliance with the Lin family?"

Zhou Mu smiled. "Of course. But Lin Ao seems pretty annoying."

His mother said, "Then you..."

Zhou Mu said, "I'll choose Lin Xiaojin."

--

Everyone thought Zhou Mu had gone crazy. He could have chosen any outstanding young man, yet he had chosen Lin Xiaojin, a disabled man.

But before long, they watched with their own eyes as Lin Xiaojin used an iron fist to become the head of the Lin family. And his legs were cured, too!

Lin Ao's parents spent a painfully large sum on a gift and brought Lin Ao along to curry favor with their nephew, Lin Xiaojin. But there they saw Zhou Mu, whom they had once despised, enjoying Lin Xiaojin's massage as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

When he saw Lin Ao, Zhou Mu smiled radiantly. "Call me sister-in-law."
