After the Metaphysical Family Found Me, I Became the Savior

The blurb for the upcoming novel "Can an Honest Straight Guy Have a Shura Field?" is at the very bottom~

Upcoming novel: "The Shared Alpha Soother at the Noble Academy"

1. While idly twirling his pen during an exam, Yue Shu was knocked unconscious by a group of black-clad men who stormed into the room, then bundled into a car.

When he next saw sunlight, he was dressed in a moon-white Tang suit. A string of blood-red Buddhist prayer beads, steeped in the scent of blood, was wrapped around his jade-like wrist. He stood ramrod straight before an altar, holding three incense sticks above his head.

Dark clouds gradually covered the sun. Against his will, he inserted the incense into the burner. In an instant, he felt a shuddering connection form within his soul. In a daze, he saw a pair of cold, uncanny eyes open in the dark sky above. They fixed on him, and a chilly, malicious voice whispered in his ear like a lover murmuring, "So fragrant... mine..."

2. The young master of the Zhongli clan's main line, who had been maliciously taken away eighteen years ago, was finally found. On the very day he returned, the head of the Zhongli family eagerly held a ceremony to announce the heir, pushing the frail boy, who had just turned eighteen, into a position coveted by all and surrounded by wolves.

Everyone was waiting to enjoy the show, eager to see how the delicate, flowerlike young master would be toyed with and cast aside, stripped to the bone and devoured by a pack of jackals until not a scrap remained.

But they never imagined that this seemingly helpless boy, whom anyone could bully, was actually a smiling tiger and a man-eating flower. Nor did they expect prodigies from every corner to fight over the chance to hold him in the palms of their hands.

The delicate youth, so exquisitely beautiful he seemed unreal, wore the gentlest, most innocent smile. His slender white fingers toyed with the blood-red prayer beads in his hand, while a huge, swaggering demon statue loomed behind him. In the horrified gazes of the crowd, a greedy evil spirit pulled him into its embrace.

"Can an Honest Straight Guy Have a Shura Field?"

Shi Qiu has been finding things strange lately. His belongings keep disappearing. Sometimes it's an ordinary ballpoint pen, sometimes a T-shirt, and sometimes an even more private item of clothing.

His usually calm, uneventful life has also changed dramatically. It all started when three outstanding suitors suddenly appeared around his beloved younger brother, and Shi Qiu became their only source of information about his brother's preferences.

The warm, sunny campus heartthrob loves hearing Shi Qiu talk about his brother. Then he'll take Shi Qiu's hand and ask whether doing this or that might offend him.

The talented, aloof senior also approaches Shi Qiu to learn more about his brother and chat with him. Every time they part, he gives Shi Qiu a polite hug. The difference in their strength is so great that Shi Qiu can barely breathe.

Then there's the gloomy, cold-hearted boss at his internship. To better curry favor with Shi Qiu's brother, he has Shi Qiu, whose build is similar to his brother's, stand still while he personally takes his measurements for custom clothes. But why does he need to measure even that tiny bit of fabric?

Thinking carefully, it seems like his things started going missing around the time these people appeared.

They all have perfectly reasonable excuses for hanging around Shi Qiu, but for some reason, he can't shake the feeling that something is off. So he tells his younger brother about everything that's happened lately.

His brother smiles, wraps his arms around Shi Qiu's waist, and rubs his chin against his shoulder. "Brother, they're trying to court me and learn what I like. Knowing my measurements and making sure I'm comfortable are the bare minimum. Otherwise, why would I get together with them?"

His brother continues, "Brother, they're practicing on you so they'll know how to treat me better later. You're all I have, so of course you want me to be happy. That means you'll personally pick out the person who's best for me, right?"

Then he adds, "Brother, it's okay that you're straight. Just help me check them out, so I don't get taken advantage of without realizing it."

Shi Qiu still feels that something is wrong, but he wants his brother to be happy. So even if he's a little uncomfortable, he does his best to cooperate.

But...

After waking in his dorm, he finds little red marks on his body.

If he spends too long alone with the senior, he gets terribly sleepy.

The intimate clothing his boss bought for him always feels a little damp, and he has no idea why.

When the rivals meet, they fight over his water bottle and eye the half-eaten popsicle in his mouth. The looks they exchange are so vicious they seem ready to tear one another apart, radiating malice they can barely control.

Even though he's straight, these changes make it obvious that something is very wrong. He tells his younger brother about his fears in a panic, then that night falls into a gorgeous, fantastical nightmare.

In the dream, his brother is no longer innocent and pure. Something strange twists behind him as he grits his teeth and curses the three familiar figures beside him:

"Idiots! Brother almost figured it out!"

Shi Qiu sees four pairs of identical eyes, cold and savage, yet filled with deep obsession and desire whenever they look at him.

The next day, he wakes up in his school dorm. His brother says he didn't come home the night before, but Shi Qiu finds proof in his room that he did.

Now even his brother is acting strange.

Shi Qiu stumbles away in a panic and accidentally crashes into the arms of the newly appointed head of the Lu family. The man is cultured, refined, and dependable, and gently soothes his distress. The four figures haunt him like nightmares, and only beside Lu Jingbai can he feel safe.

Until one day, he catches sight of four familiar figures twisting in the shadow of the man as he showers.
