Blurb for this novel

CP: He He Bing, an obedient, flirtatious big puppy who is also a possessive, younger obsessive madman, paired with Liang Yi, a cold and distant, deeply obsessive, chronically ill older man, a thorny rose.

He Bing, the third young master of the He family, one of Xiyu's three great families, runs into an exceptionally beautiful, cool and elegant man at a cafe in Gancheng on his father's birthday. The beauty's stomach condition flares up, leaving him drenched in cold sweat from the pain. He Bing instantly turns into a gentleman, offering him warm water and stomach medicine.

A week later, Liang Yi, the most famous ice-cold beauty in the Abnormality Investigation Bureau, gets married.

The news throws the entire bureau into an uproar.

The third young master He, who has always moved through a sea of flowers without letting a single petal cling to him, has fallen hard. Every day, he fusses over Liang Yi and takes care of him in every way. But instead of finding the sweet bliss of a happy marriage, he discovers a cruel truth.

The man he fell in love with at first sight had deliberately maneuvered himself into place, step by step, all for revenge. He wanted to get back at He Bing's father.

Only then does He Bing remember the two things Liang Yi said when they first met:

One was, “Go easy on the coffee. It's bad for your stomach.”

The other was, “My surname is He. I'm from Xiyu.”

The third young master He finally understands. He's been deceived: Liang Yi didn't fall for his tender words and warm attentions. He was won over by nothing but the character “He.”

And so, those tender words and warm attentions become blades aimed at Liang Yi.

They have matching belts. He Bing uses his to bind Liang Yi around the waist.

He presses the watch Liang Yi bought for him against Liang Yi's pale cheek.

He uses the coat he bought for Liang Yi to shame him for repaying kindness with betrayal...

But He Bing doesn't know that the poison he resolutely swallowed in despair was transferred to him, every last drop, by Liang Yi. Liang Yi is now enduring the agony of having his insides torn apart, day and night, in He Bing's place.

If this is love, who loves more deeply?

If this is a game, who is caught in the trap?

They both become madmen, lunatics. No one can tell them apart.

When that day finally comes, He Bing kneels before Liang Yi, gently rubbing his cheek against Liang Yi's like a little beast. He bows his head and begs, his voice choked with sobs: “Don't die. Please don't die...”

He wipes away Liang Yi's tears, then kisses his bloodstained, trembling lips. After a brief taste, he shares the bloody tang in Liang Yi's mouth.

“As long as you live, that's enough. Please, Liang Yi...”

“Shh...”

He Bing immediately falls silent.

“Don't make a fuss. I'm going to sleep for a bit...”

“I won't live much longer, He Bing.”

“Liang Yi, I don't fear you dying. But you have to take me with you.”

Then let them sink together into a storm of blood and violence.

Blurb for upcoming novel I'm Always Worried My Brother Will Die ↓

The greatest thing Lu Xiyu has ever done in his life is seduce his own brother.

His brother, Lu Yinchen, is the commander-in-chief of the General Administration of Supernatural Affairs. He can kill aberrant creatures with his bare hands by day and cook him a three-course dinner at night. Perfect, powerful, and capable of anything.

Lu Xiyu thinks his brother is like a perfectly programmed machine: powerful, stable, and always following the same routine.

The only bug is Lu Xiyu himself, who has become harder and harder to control since reaching adulthood.

His liking men has caused plenty of friction between him and his brother.

When he first started having feelings for people, he met a boy who was especially kind to him. The moment the other boy confessed, Lu Xiyu's mind went blank, and he went home and came out to Lu Yinchen. His brother didn't even give him a look. He just suffered a sudden attack of his stomach condition, doubled over in pain and drenched in cold sweat. Lu Xiyu was scared out of his wits. From then on, he never dared say he “liked men,” terrified he would send his brother to an early grave.

But he'd been a troublemaker since childhood, so he found other ways to date in secret, grinning like an idiot every day. He never expected his brother to catch him in the act after coming back from a mission.

Later, Lu Xiyu learns the truth.

He and his brother aren't related by blood at all.

And so, the feelings he'd suppressed for years spread like wildfire.

“So what if I'm in love with my brother?”

“Lu Yinchen, you're not even my real brother. What are you afraid of?”

He ignores Lu Yinchen's warnings and wraps his arms around his brother's slender body, telling him again and again that he loves him.

Until Lu Yinchen coughs up a huge mouthful of blood.

[Extra]

When Lu Yinchen suddenly becomes gravely ill and vomits blood, his team rushes to the medical department. There, they see Lu Xiyu slumped miserably in a corner, his eyes red-rimmed.

Team member: “The boss was fine yesterday. How did this suddenly...”

Lu Xiyu, sullenly: “I made him sick.”

Team member: “Huh? How?”

Lu Xiyu: “I told my brother I liked him.”

Team member: “...”

After a few seconds of silence, every team member quietly takes a step back.

Got it.

The thing in front of them is a top-level aberrant creature. Their commander has suffered the most serious operational mishap of his career.

[Content warnings]

1. The bottom is in very poor health, and there will be extensive descriptions of pain and illness. (Emphasis: His illness is so severe that the main story has an open ending, while the extras have a happy ending.)

2. This is a fictional setting with no medical accuracy. The setting allows same-sex marriage; please don't overanalyze it.

3. Both are sexually inexperienced. Younger top, with a nine-year age gap.

4. The top is a person, not a wolf (*˙ー˙*)

5. Two-thirds of the story isn't sweet or doting. Both the top and bottom are obsessive and unhinged. It's old-school melodrama, and they won't listen to reason. All their unreasonable behavior is there for kink appeal, so it may not suit readers who are very protective of their favorites. Please take note.

6. This is an intensely unhealthy romance, and the characters' values do not represent mine.

7. Since this is part of a series, other couples from the series will appear to some extent. I'll keep that to a minimum so it won't affect the main couple.

[Reading guide]

1. This is part of the Capital of Otherworldly Affairs series. The previous novel is I Turned My Life Around by Relying on a Sickly Beauty. Reading it isn't necessary, but the other books in the series also feature sickly beauties, so feel free to give them a look, hehe.

2. Regarding the cover's character design: The cover art uses a licensed, commercially usable character design purchased by the artist online. The design wasn't bought exclusively, so it isn't unique, but the cover is fully licensed and the design itself is unique.
