After being reborn, Pei Xiang could think only of revenge. As for what she would do afterward, she planned to die of natural causes. She had nothing left to care about, and life was too bitter and exhausting. In her next life, she hoped to be a cat or a dog, anything but a person.

But unlike in her previous life, she unexpectedly came across a little dog who had also been reborn. When they first met, he was cornered and covered in bruises, but they needed only a few words to expose each other's secret.

She agreed to be his bodyguard for the money. He stayed behind her for protection, but the fixation in his eyes only grew deeper.

Yun Xiu lost both parents as a child. His relatives seized the family estate, claiming they would keep it safe and return it to him once he got into college and could manage it himself. On the day of the college entrance exam, he was locked in his room, and no one answered his calls. In despair, he jumped from a high-rise window, ending a life in which he had never belonged anywhere.

No one knew that he had always secretly cared for someone. They were both unfortunate, and neither could do anything about it.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in a familiar classroom. She was walking toward him, wary and cold, nothing like before.

He was shameless and despicable. He got Pei Xiang to agree to live with him, then played the victim until he earned a kiss. But she put an expiration date on their relationship. He was in too deep, while Pei Xiang stayed clearheaded. When the college entrance exams were over, she disappeared without a trace.

Pei Xiang never expected they would meet again. But the little dog had developed severe separation anxiety. He thought he hid it well, but even the sound of a door closing could set him off. He liked checking up on her but was afraid of annoying her. He liked clinging to her, and he also liked being hurt. Pei Xiang thought time would slowly heal him, but an accident sent him into a complete breakdown. When she opened her eyes, a chain was fastened around her wrist. His face was hidden in the shadows, and his tears fell hot against her skin. "I'm sorry. Please don't leave me."

But when an obsession runs deepest, the blade is turned inward too, and Pei Xiang wasn't afraid. When he finally fell asleep from exhaustion in the middle of the night, she unlocked the chain and cleaned him up, listening as he mumbled and pleaded for mercy in his sleep.

She liked seeing the little dog act possessive, because she was the same way.

GB, no reversal, weak plot, written purely to satisfy my personal tastes. If it's not for you, stop reading in time. No need to tell me.

New upcoming novel: Stop Pretending, You're Nothing Like Him. A historical fantasy about monsters, featuring a demon hunter x dragon demon, fake substitute, and yes, it's GB. Add it to your collection if you're interested. Thanks!

Wu Tu is a good person. Everyone knows it. She's generous and has saved countless people. In a world overrun by demons, where survival is difficult, she only takes money from wealthy merchants and powerful officials. She hunts demons for the common people for free.

Wu Tu is also a strange person, though only a few know it. She's carefree and charming, and sometimes visits brothels, but she has an odd habit: she likes to stare into the eyes of male courtesans. If she finds one she likes, she throws money around until he cries and says, "I was wrong."

Those in the know were all certain that some man must have broken her heart.

Then one day, someone saw a young man following close beside Wu Tu. He was wary and withdrawn, but when he looked at her, his eyes seemed to brim with spring water.

After that, no one else said those words to her again.

A Xuan was miserable. He had fallen straight into the tender trap Wu Tu laid for him, and now he was hopelessly in love with her.

She treated him so well, soothing and protecting him. They hugged, kissed, and even slept together.

But in the end, he was only a substitute for her older brother.

A warm-on-the-outside, cold-on-the-inside demon hunter x an introverted, innocent young dragon demon who serves as a substitute for love

[Reading guide]

1. GB, no reversal!! The female lead has no attachments; her tool is a vine. There might be a pregnancy, and if so, the male lead will carry it.

2. Fake substitute, explained later. Happy ending.

3. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, but the female lead has something of a harem-protagonist quality. She's not the pure and chaste type who keeps everyone at a distance, and she may act somewhat flirtatiously.

4. Niche tastes, written for myself. Don't read if it's not your thing. Don't upset yourself or others. Protect your breasts, avoid lumps. It's everyone's responsibility.

5. The goal is to have fun. I reject overinterpretation and excessive nitpicking, and refuse to have labels pinned on me.

Theme: Mutual healing. Someone will always come for you.
