My Wife Is Quickly Falling Gravely Ill

Couple: Scheming, money-loving, obsequious top x sickly, lovesick queen bottom

Yu Hengqiu was fabulously wealthy, but she suffered from a serious illness. With no family, she posted a marriage announcement before her life faded away.

As soon as the notice went up, a crowd of strong men and beautiful women swarmed her doorstep. Who wouldn't want a cushy job that paid without requiring any work?

In the end, that cushy job went to Hao Qing. Little did she know that money wasn't the only thing hard to earn, and shit wasn't the only thing hard to swallow.

Her rich benefactor seemed to have something seriously wrong with her. She kept putting Hao Qing in her place, making her serve on her knees, and even ordering her frail mortal body to carry her up eighteen floors.

After climbing the final step, Hao Qing discovered the elevator hadn't broken. This venomous woman's heart was rotten to the core!

All she could do was silently encourage herself: Hang in there, hang in there. Get promoted, get rich, and bury your wife! The day she'd been waiting for was almost here!

As they spent more time together, Hao Qing's opinion of her rich benefactor gradually changed.

The woman wasn't completely insane. She would write "Read and approved for reimbursement" in the expense log Hao Qing secretly kept. When Hao Qing got sick with a fever, she'd make her take the same medicines she herself regularly used, whether or not they worked. And when she called Hao Qing's name in her sleep and cried, Hao Qing couldn't help feeling sad too.

What the heck? It seemed her heart had been gradually swayed...

Later...

As she lay bedridden, the rich benefactor spoke her final words with the sincerity of someone on the verge of death. "You always wanted a garden villa by the sea. After I die, take my inheritance..."

Hao Qing scooped up a spoonful of ginseng and stuffed it into her mouth.

The rich benefactor continued, speaking her final words once more. "You always wanted to see the Northern Lights. After I die, take my inheritance..."

Hao Qing scooped up a spoonful of reishi and stuffed that into her mouth too.

The rich benefactor tried to speak again, but this time Hao Qing threw herself at her and sealed her lips with a kiss. "What I've always wanted is you."

Preorder: "After Getting Involved with a Veteran Actor"

Couple: A slippery, smooth-talking, irresistible newcomer who plays bit parts x a veteran thespian who goes from frigid to a needy little darling without missing a beat

On this momentous day, the variety show "Acting Boot Camp" officially received its premiere date. Its ultimate goal was to find a female lead for the country's first true yuri movie, "Ice Rift."

The other female lead was a major name: three-time Golden Screen Award-winning actress Chen Yuge. She would also join the show as a mentor, with the most important vote in choosing her co-star.

While the other contestants worked themselves to the bone, practicing their acting day and night, Cheng Yi took an easy shortcut and swaggered right up to the actress's room to knock on her door.

"What do you want?" Chen Yuge was naturally not pleased to be disturbed during her break.

"I'm here to offer you my services in bed, Teacher Chen," Cheng Yi replied with a big smile.

Chen Yuge: ???

How audacious! But young people were usually all bravado and no brains, so she decided to take it as a joke.

Chen Yuge gave a scornful laugh. "You? What makes you think you can?"

A hint of sincerity appeared in Cheng Yi's eyes. "Because I can make it all the way to the end with you."

Chen Yuge: ...What a big ego. Dream on!

Three months later, on the set of "Ice Rift"...

The director kept shouting, "Cut!" but the two leads remained wrapped in each other's arms, not moving an inch.

Oh my! That kissing scene was absolutely fantastic, but please hurry up, get yourselves together, and get ready for the next scene. The crew still has a schedule to keep!

But Chen Yuge was clearly still caught up in that unrestrained, demanding kiss. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she burrowed deeper into Cheng Yi's strong arms.

Cheng Yi blinked mischievously. "The director's calling us."

Chen Yuge complained in a sweet voice, "This is all your fault. Hold me up, my legs are weak!"
