Blurb: A cool beauty who knows how to tame a dog x a devoted husband who’s completely wrapped around his wife’s finger When Shen Yanchu was twenty, he dated a boyfriend who said he would always be his little puppy. No one knew that Shen Yanchu had schemed to approach his little puppy first. He took the initiative to kiss Shixu, seduced him on a deck beneath a shipload of stars, and later ruthlessly abandoned him. The Shen Group was on the brink of bankruptcy and desperately needed to secure a business deal. Shen Yanchu pulled some strings and boarded the yacht where his old flame, Shixu, was setting out to sea. The wind billowed his shirt, and the bruises from kisses stood out beautifully against his skin. Shixu gritted his teeth. “Shen Yanchu, don’t tell me you think I’ve spent all these years unable to live without you?” Shen Yanchu sat on Shixu’s lap. His slender, pale hand slipped inside Shixu’s collar, and his waist dipped slightly. He raised his chin and slowly breathed out warm air. “A Xu, your body says it really misses me.” Excerpt One: At a banquet, Shen Yanchu was plied with alcohol until his cheeks flushed. One of his former suitors, whom he had once rejected, blocked his way. “How about I point you in the right direction, Shen Yanchu? If you pleasure me enough in bed, I’ll consider investing in the Shen Group to help it through this crisis.” Laughter erupted all around them. Shen Yanchu’s gaze settled on a familiar figure in the distance. “Young Master Zhou, how much are you planning to pay?” Zhou Siyue looked at him with disdain. So he was putting a price on himself? As Zhou Siyue hesitated, he watched helplessly as Shen Yanchu slipped away like a fish, stumbling over to the heir of the Shi family. Shen Yanchu wrapped himself around the other man’s waist like he had no bones, wearing an allure Zhou Siyue had never seen before. He heard Shen Yanchu ask, “He’s offering too little. Shixu, I don’t want to sleep with him. How about I sleep with you instead?” Zhou Siyue’s face darkened instantly. The Shen Group eventually went bankrupt, and plenty of people waited to laugh at Shen Yanchu’s misfortune. They waited and waited, only to hear that the heir and Shen Yanchu were getting married. Later, they heard that the Shen Group was going to be restructured, and the name listed as its actual controlling shareholder was… Everyone: ??? Bonus Scene: Sunlight streamed into the room. A slender, pale waist was held tight in someone’s arms. Teeth grazed a collarbone covered in kiss marks, and the newlywed husband growled, “Sui Sui, don’t you dare leave me again!” Smack! The beauty in bed slapped the person on top of him across the back and shoved his head away from his shoulder. “If you’re as insatiable as you were last night again, you can get out!” (Note: People shouldn’t trip over the same stone twice, but Shixu can fall for his wife over and over again.) *Reborn as the Egg Raised to Be a Powerful Man’s Mate* (Interstellar). Blurb: The Empire’s Marshal, Linyuan, was gravely injured in a fierce battle against the interstellar dragon pirates. Seventy percent of his skin was burned by the dragons’ slime, he lost the sight in one eye, and both his legs were left disabled. His longtime OMEGA fiancée called off their engagement and returned the precious ancient dragon egg the Lin family had given her when they proposed. She even mocked him: “If you can hatch a real dragon from this egg, I’ll marry you.” Holding the egg, which looked like a meteorite, Linyuan turned away without a backward glance, pushing his wheelchair. Once aboard the shuttle, he coughed up blood, splattering it across the dragon egg. A faint golden light shone from the egg. … The ancient demon dragon Aojiao had injured his spirit essence in a battle against the dragons and had no choice but to seal himself inside a dragon egg to recuperate. Somehow, something had gone wrong. For tens of thousands of years, he had been unable to hatch. Then one day, Aojiao realized the egg was finally about to crack! The haughty dragon butted the shell with his head, and it broke! Hahahahaha! I’ve finally hatched!!! “Rawr~~~” “Meow meow~~~???” ?!!! Aojiao: “!!!” Where was his earth-shaking roar? What was with this tiny kitten’s meow? … News that Linyuan had coughed up blood and died spread like wildfire, and rumors ran rampant. Linyuan, with his SSS-level mental strength, was now disabled. The old Marshal was getting on in years, and everyone thought the Lin family, the most powerful family in the S Empire, was about to fall into decline. Some even declared that Linyuan wouldn’t survive until the Empire’s New Year. Even if he did, he would be a cripple for the rest of his life. A month passed, then two, then half a year… The people of the S Empire were astonished to discover that their disabled Marshal, Linyuan, had not only stood up again, but regained his once-peerless looks. His mental strength was even more terrifying than before! His former OMEGA fiancée came to him with bloodshot eyes. She claimed her family had forced her to break off the engagement. “I know you hate me, and I don’t expect you to forgive me. I only hope you’ll give me another chance, a chance to take care of you.” Linyuan replied coldly, “No need. Having Jiaojiao with me is enough.” His former OMEGA fiancée looked at the hideous, unidentifiable pet perched on Linyuan’s shoulder: ??? … The people of the Empire noticed that wherever the Marshal went, an ugly little creature rode on his shoulder. Linyuan’s subordinates kept straight faces. As if that were all! Their Marshal even took the hideous little thing along when operating a mecha, and was so afraid it might go hungry or get cold that he treated it more tenderly than a wife! Aojiao went berserk! You’re ugly! Your whole family is ugly! I’m a dragon!!! A dragon!!! Linyuan stroked the little dragon on his shoulder, who had suddenly gone wild. His fingertip gently brushed its tail. “Jiaojiao isn’t ugly. Jiaojiao is the prettiest.” He cast a cold glance at his subordinates. Aojiao lifted his chin. Hmph! At least you have good taste! You’d better appreciate that I used my spiritual power to heal you! The subordinates: They were the finest soldiers in the Imperial Army, and how many OMEGAs had competed for the chance to marry them? And now they couldn’t even measure up to a cute-and-ugly little dragon? One day, Marshal Linyuan realized that his pet Jiaojiao had disappeared! He mobilized the entire force to search for him. Then he suddenly received a call from his former fiancée: “Marshal, help, help me! Your pet, your pet has gone mad! Marshal, save me!” Linyuan hurried over. A beautiful young man, with dark eyes and bright white teeth, stood on his bed, so stunning he was beyond compare. The young man had one foot on his former fiancée’s head. “Anyone who dares covet my pet will die. Understand?” Pet Linyuan: ??? … Aojiao: I’ll secretly transform, then amaze everyone.
