After a Flash Marriage to Dr. Xu

On the surface: A refined, mild-mannered news anchor × a reserved, desire-free head of traditional Chinese medicine In reality: A notorious voice actor who ensnares people with his voice × a bloodthirsty, obsessive madman Yu Qingtang has two faces. In public, he's the star anchor of the news channel, speaking clearly and carrying himself with poise. In private, he's a mysterious voice actor in the online dubbing scene, with a seductive voice that can flirt without even trying. In his senior year of high school, Yu Qingtang sneaked into the medical university's voice acting group and hooked up with a senior who had a deep, resonant voice. He even sent a photo of his legs to tempt the other man into recording an explicit radio drama with him. After their wild encounter, Yu Qingtang immediately blocked him, left the group, and deleted his contact, acting as if nothing had happened. Now nearing thirty, Yu Qingtang registered on a dating site under pressure from his parents to get married. He was matched with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor with a stable job and a good income. When they met, he discovered the man was only two years older than him, dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and exactly his type. The only catch was that he was proper, conservative, and health-conscious, always carrying a thermos full of herbal medicine. Not long after they started seeing each other, Yu Qingtang proposed. They registered their marriage and moved in together. Their days were as calm as still water, and they treated each other with polite respect. Then one day, Xu Baizhang licked the blood from his fingertip and greedily sucked it into his mouth. Only then did Yu Qingtang realize that his reserved, desire-free husband seemed... not quite right. There's a legend at the provincial hospital: Director Xu of the traditional Chinese medicine department has an extraordinary surgical skill that can bring the dead back to life, yet he chooses to stay behind the scenes. He lives on plain food and wears plain clothes year-round, like an ascetic monk. One day after work, however, he surprisingly put on a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. His composed, handsome presence sent the whole hospital into a frenzy. No one knows that Xu Baizhang keeps a collection of private photos and audio recordings on his phone. They're what keep him going and help him pretend to be a normal person. Xu Baizhang planned to live like that for the rest of his life. But recently, he changed his mind. Half a month later, the entire hospital learned he had gotten married. [Reader's Guide] 1. Both are sexually inexperienced; happy ending. Same-sex marriage is legal.

Coming soon: Heartbeats on a Timer Also known as Don't Fall for Your Nemesis Doctor as the pursued partner × race car driver as the pursuing partner Sharp-tongued queen × smooth-talking charmer Yan Ruixing 🦊 × Wen Xiaomian 🐶 Yan Ruixing is the youngest attending physician in the skull base and auditory nerve surgery department. He has just received a young medical achiever award, only to be handed his own diagnosis: chronic myeloid leukemia. 🙃 Wen Xiaomian, an F1 champion and the young Mr. Wen who was born knowing how to make money, walks into Yan Ruixing's office clutching his imaging results. Years have passed since they last met, and the man in the suit has outgrown his youthful awkwardness. But to Yan Ruixing, Wen Xiaomian is still the same annoying face from school, a dog that just won't leave him alone. [Rolls eyes] To Wen Xiaomian, Yan Ruixing has barely changed apart from trading his school uniform for a white coat: aloof, strict, and a scheming fox. [Pinches bridge of nose] Yan Ruixing looks over the imaging results. "Bilateral facial and auditory nerve dysfunction, mild compression of the right trigeminal nerve, and space-occupying lesions in both cerebellopontine angles and internal auditory canals. This is consistent with bilateral acoustic neuromas..." Wen Xiaomian interrupts him. "Can't you put it simply?" Yan Ruixing: "Sure. Get your last wishes in order." Wen Xiaomian drawls, "Oh, so there's no hope?" "There is." Yan Ruixing taps the desk. "Get down on your knees and wish me a happy new year. Then I'll grudgingly operate on you." "...Heh." 🙄 Wen Xiaomian turns and leaves. Staying another second would be an insult. After visiting hospital after hospital, experts from every field look at the "hell-level" scans, shake their heads, and can only say, "Young Mr. Wen, I-I wish you well." At last, Yan Ruixing comes to him of his own accord. "Really not going to let me try?" Wen Xiaomian: "Why should I trust you?" Yan Ruixing shows him his own diagnosis. "I want some peace and quiet, so I'm not dragging a stupid dog down with me." Wen Xiaomian: "…" One week before the operation. Wen Xiaomian: "If I don't wake up, will you dance yangko at my grave for three days?" Yan Ruixing: "...I'll arrange a senior citizens' dance troupe for you." "They're nowhere near as good-looking as you." "…" Get lost. "Wait, I'm not done with my last wishes." Wen Xiaomian stops him from leaving and tilts his head to look at his face. "This young master is about to die without ever having his first kiss. So... Dr. Yan, how about some end-of-life comfort?" The day of the operation. Before the anesthesia takes effect, Wen Xiaomian pulls down Yan Ruixing's mask, determined to memorize his face. "I have one last wish." Yan Ruixing unusually doesn't lose his temper. "What?" "If I get the chance to wake up, can I kiss you one more time?" ❤️[Reader's Guide]❤️ 1. Both are sexually inexperienced; happy ending.
