Blurb:

Everyone who knew Jiang Jiang and Qin Xianmo knew Jiang Jiang was special to Qin Xianmo.

They grew up together, ate and slept together. Qin Xianmo called Jiang Jiang “Baby,” never had the heart to scold him, and could only be soothed by Jiang Jiang when he was angry.

Someone joked that if Qin Xianmo liked boys, the one he'd like had to be Jiang Jiang. So one day, Jiang Jiang confessed to Qin Xianmo.

Almost everyone knew Qin Xianmo had one absolute rule: he hated any gay man who got close to him. If a guy confessed to him, he would cut off all contact without hesitation. He was known for being utterly heartless.

So Jiang Jiang didn't dare tell him how he really felt. He only told him that he might be gay and wanted to keep his distance.

He thought it was better to stay ordinary friends than let things end badly.

But Qin Xianmo hugged him tightly and said, “You scared me. I thought you were going to stop talking to me.”

Jiang Jiang froze.

In the end, Jiang Jiang couldn't stand leaving things so unclear. He took the initiative and confessed to Qin Xianmo.

Their relationship seemed to end right there. Jiang Jiang understood the answer, and proud as he was, he didn't cling to Qin Xianmo. He chose to distance himself.

Jiang Jiang didn't know how Qin Xianmo pulled open the curtains separating their beds every night and stared at him for ages like a lovesick creep.

Qin Xianmo missed Jiang Jiang so much it made him panic. All he could do was find excuses to watch him from afar.

One day, he went to see Jiang Jiang as usual.

But he saw a guy confessing to Jiang Jiang.

The fear of losing Jiang Jiang drove Qin Xianmo mad. He finally lost control and rushed over. The once-proud son of heaven now had dark circles under his eyes and looked utterly wretched.

Ignoring the eyes of everyone around them, he hugged Jiang Jiang tightly, his voice trembling. “Jiang Jiang, you can't say yes to him!”

He whispered, “...Please.”

[After Our Divorce by Agreement, I Hooked My Younger Brother] Blurb:

In everyone's eyes, Sui Nian and Wei Sheng were a loving, stable couple, the kind others envied.

But no one except them knew they were only married on paper by agreement. They were more like roommates than husbands.

Sui Nian was just waiting for their two-year agreement to expire so he could end the marriage and go back to his ordinary life.

That was until he met his younger brother's college roommate.

After that, his younger brother kept calling him to campus on one pretext or another, and every time he went, he ran into the roommate.

They went hiking together, and Sui Nian twisted his ankle. The young man carried him out of the mountains, step by step.

When Sui Nian fell ill, the young man, who'd grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, took care of him without complaint.

Later, for some reason, the young man stopped looking for him so often.

Then Sui Nian announced to his family that he was getting divorced and didn't plan to date again. The young man showed up once more, lowering his proud head and acting as obedient as ever. “I'll stay by your side, gege.”

Sui Nian didn't notice the desire in the young man's eyes.

Shen Jincheng had been the golden boy in everyone's eyes since childhood. It was simply his nature to look down on others.

Then, on the first day of school, he saw his roommate's older brother and fell for him at first sight. From then on, all he could see was him.

But later, he learned from his roommate that the man he loved was already married.

At that moment, the golden boy's eyes turned red.

[The Hated, Pitiful Boy Becomes the Villain's Cat] Blurb:

After his mother died and his father remarried, Qi Nuo became a pitiful boy nobody loved. He was the young master of the Qi family, but lived worse than his stepmother's dog.

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

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

He had a warm room, delicious canned food, and even a villain to brush his fur.

Kittens couldn't help shedding, and soon cat hair was everywhere in the villain's spotless home. Once he realized the villain liked him, Qi Nuo started clinging to him at every opportunity.

Then the villain shut him outside while using the bathroom.

Kitten: QAQ

In the end, the villain used a can of cat food to make his silly kitten feel better.

One day, someone drugged and framed the great villain. The kitten panicked, but after much hesitation, heroically sacrificed himself. With the System's help, he counteracted the drug.

When the villain woke up, he couldn't find the young man from the night before, while a certain kitten sobbed and covered his butt, furiously swatting the villain several times with his paws.

A plum-blossom paw print marked the great villain's handsome face, and all he could think about was how to find the young man from last night.

One day, Qi Nuo secretly slipped out in human form to have fun, only to get caught by the great villain.

The latter's eyes were red as he gripped Qi Nuo's wrist, grinding out, “Still trying to hide from me?”

The kitten glared and complained, “It's because you're so bad at it, my butt hurts.”

The great villain said, “There, there. It's not 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 especially beautiful eyes, just like the little cat the villain kept.

The Qi family had always tried their hardest to curry favor with the great villain. When they saw the young man he cherished in the palm of his hand, they realized he was Qi Nuo, the very person they'd once treated like trash!
