Younger Men Have Their Perks

[Complete! Thank you to all the lovely readers who supported the official release!] [Check out more completed novels in my author page. Enjoy!] Character setup: Reborn, gentle bottom x younger, wolfish top Blurb: Bai Xi spent over a decade struggling in the entertainment industry and finally won his third Best Actor award at thirty. But on the way home from the celebratory banquet, he died in a car accident. In his final moments, he seemed to dream. He saw mourning and sorrow everywhere, and a grand, solemn funeral. In the drizzle, the crowd dispersed, and his fame faded into silence. But someone remained before the low tombstone... A tall man stood motionless in the rain from afternoon until dusk. When night fell, Bai Xi saw him kneel on one knee before the low tombstone, lift a hand to brush the rain from it, and lean down... to kiss Bai Xi's name. Bai Xi's heart jolted, and he opened his eyes to find himself six years in the past. At an awards ceremony, 24-year-old Bai Xi lost out, watching as He Jinyan, only 20, took home the Best Actor award for his debut role. Before the ceremony, everyone had expected Bai Xi to win, so the controversy blew up overnight. Then He Jinyan's words as he accepted the award, "I hope I can work with Bai Xi," sent Bai Xi straight into the eye of the storm. There was no way they would work together. In his previous life, Bai Xi's only impression of He Jinyan was: what a pretentious poser. He hated pretentious posers. So for six years, although they both thrived in the same industry, they never worked together once. What he didn't know was that over those six years, this pretentious poser had called his name countless times in the dead of night, imagining him naked, defiling him, making him cry, and then soothing him. In this life, Bai Xi looked at the aloof, arrogant man on the stage and remembered the kiss he'd seen in his dream, placed on his tombstone. A sudden smile appeared in his eyes. Tsk, he's a little young... But younger men have their perks. Reader advisory: HE, monogamous in body and mind, fictional setting with no real-life inspirations.

[Timid, goofy sunshine bottom x irritable, gloomy vampire top] Rumor has it that the young master of the general's household suffers from a strange illness. Every month on the fifteenth, he must eat human hearts and livers. One servant after another has come and gone, and every corpse carried out has been hollow inside. But the emperor, mindful of the general's military service, can't bear to investigate and continues to indulge him. None of the officials at court dare say a word. After hearing the rumors, the children sold by their families would rather become eunuchs at the palace than work in the general's household. Only the transmigrated bottom, ignorant of the truth, volunteers to work there to avoid becoming a eunuch. When the young master hears that a child has volunteered, he sneers. He'll see who has such nerve. After dark, the top sneaks into the bottom's room and wraps his cold fingers around the bottom's neck. The bottom shivers at the chill and, half asleep, mistakes him for his little brother at home. He lifts the blanket and pulls him into bed. The child is much shorter than the top, with short arms and legs, but clings to him with all four limbs and tries to warm him up. From then on, the top comes to see the bottom every night. The bottom doesn't know who he really is and assumes he's a servant who started working at the household before him. Until one day, the bottom stumbles upon the top "eating someone" and turns deathly pale with fright. The top bares his fangs and advances step by step. The bottom begs, "Could you please not eat me?" Top: "Give me a reason." Bottom: "If you eat me, who'll warm your bed?" Note: The top is a vampire. He drinks blood without killing his victims. Childhood friends. HE.
