Synopsis:

This was Feng Ji's eighth time secretly watching his personal assistant this month.

The thing was, it was only the first day of the month.

1.

Qi Yu grew up without parents, raised on the kindness of neighbors. The Feng family sponsored him and helped him fulfill his dream of attending Beijing University. As soon as he graduated, Feng Ji, CEO of the Feng Group, promoted him to be his personal assistant.

A competent assistant has to accompany the boss to business dinners and know how to take the drinks in his place, making sure the boss never misses out on even 0.1 percent of the profits because he got drunk. But at his very first business reception with his boss, Qi Yu was coaxed into falling asleep by a single glass of wine :)

Qi Yu took the lesson to heart and resolved to build up his alcohol tolerance.

2.

On his first trip to a bar, Qi Yu met a bartender willing to teach him how to hold his liquor.

The next time he went, the bartender was off work, and Qi Yu accidentally drank a spiked cocktail.

As he blacked out completely, he fell into a familiar, commanding embrace.

3.

After one glass of wine, the usually aloof and self-possessed Assistant Qi ended up in bed with his boss.

A competent assistant only ever solves problems for his boss. He doesn't become the problem himself. So Qi Yu handed Feng Ji his resignation.

His resignation was rejected.

But his boss sent him a friends-with-benefits proposal.

4.

His daily commute between work and home turned into a commute between work and the bed, and his boss started calling him Baby instead of Assistant Qi.

After being kissed awake by his direct superior for the umpteenth time, Qi Yu silently tried to convince himself that, even though they kissed, cuddled, and slept in the same bed, they were still just friends with benefits.

But… his boss clearly didn't see it that way

“Baby, where are you? Can you share your location with me?”

“It's so late and you're still not home. Want me to come get you?”

“Why did it take you so long to answer? Is someone with you?”

Qi Yu thought there was something very wrong with his boss.

Whether it was the phone ringing as soon as he stepped out, the discarded pajama shorts of his that he found in his boss's closet, or the new security camera by the front door,

it all made Qi Yu think there was something very wrong.

…

As a competent assistant, Qi Yu had run into the hardest problem of his career

His boss might be a pervert.

The ever-diligent Assistant Qi submitted his resignation for the second time.

This time, his boss agreed.

1. Stalker, perverted CEO seme × cool, softhearted beauty assistant uke

2. As is customary, one-on-one in body and heart. Readers with extreme preferences, please don't read.

5. This is a brainless, silly, cheesy story with no literary merit and a plot that makes no sense. Please leave your brain with the author before reading. Don't argue or insult anyone. Thank you!

Synopsis:

Xi Yu and her husband, He Xiangnan, were joined in a family-arranged marriage. They stepped into the grave of marriage as soon as they graduated from university.

Before the wedding, Xi Yu already knew that He Xiangnan had a beloved first love he'd been pining for since high school. He had kept himself pure for that first love, but in the end, he couldn't withstand the pressure of the family arrangement and married Xi Yu.

After the wedding, he wouldn't even touch Xi Yu, let alone come home.

At the first He family banquet after the wedding, He family patriarch He Siyue returned from a business trip abroad.

And in the entire He family mansion, there was only one person who hadn't come home.

Staring at the empty seat beside him, Xi Yu had no choice but to leave the table and call He Xiangnan.

The phone rang twice before someone picked up. Music and cheers blared from the other end. Before Xi Yu could say a word, He Xiangnan hung up on him.

As Xi Yu silently looked at the disconnected call, a large hand reached from behind and grasped his shoulder.

Xi Yu turned around.

The man wore a custom-tailored suit he hadn't had time to change out of. Handsome and distinguished, he looked at Xi Yu with interest. “You're Xi Yu, aren't you?”

Xi Yu nodded. “…And you are?”

The man smiled and took his hand. “I'm He Siyue.”

“He Xiangnan's… father.”

-

He Xiangnan rarely came home. Xi Yu couldn't go back to his own home and couldn't be bothered to return to their marital apartment, which didn't even have furniture yet, so he simply stayed at the family mansion.

His husband showed up once every seven days, but his father-in-law was there every day.

Xi Yu was picky about food, so He Siyue took over cooking all three meals. Xi Yu wanted to learn golf, so He Siyue taught him how to swing, one step at a time. Xi Yu often suffered from low blood sugar, so He Siyue always kept a piece of candy in his pocket for him. Xi Yu often had trouble sleeping and suffered from nightmares, so He Siyue brought him a cup of warm milk every night and told him stories until he fell asleep…

For a moment, Xi Yu almost felt as though He Siyue was the person he had married.

-

One day, He Xiangnan, who had been away from home for years, showed up at Xi Yu's door with his reunited first love.

“Yu is back. Let's get divorced.”

Looking at the young man beside He Xiangnan, Xi Yu agreed without hesitation.

They got their divorce papers that very day. Just as Xi Yu was packing to leave, his former father-in-law blocked his way.

The man's gaze burned like fire as he slowly took Xi Yu's hand.

“Xi Yu, stay. Become another master of the He family.”

Xi Yu was stunned.

-

He Xiangnan had always pined for a first love he could never have, until they finally reunited after he was married.

Overjoyed, he immediately divorced the arranged-marriage partner he had no feelings for.

It didn't take long, however, for him to realize that the person beside him was a complete fake. His real first love was the ex-husband he'd already divorced.

He Xiangnan went mad. He rushed back to the family mansion, roaring as he demanded to know why He Siyue had found someone to impersonate his first love and deceive him.

But through a crack in the door, he saw his usually celibate adoptive father pressing his ex-husband against the sofa, kissing him with a lovestruck expression.

Synopsis:

He Can was born with weak vitality and was plagued by nightmares.

He often dreamed of a black monster with no visible face. It appeared out of the darkness, its slick tentacles covered in suckers, binding and coiling around him, covering every inch of his body.

Terrified, he tried to reassure himself that it was all just a nightmare, and that every dream had to end eventually.

But the parts of his body touched by the tentacles grew increasingly sensitive. He no longer dared to let anyone touch him. Even in summer, he wore long sleeves, and he couldn't help trembling at the sight of squid with suckers.

Then he met his current husband, Li Changzhou, and he never dreamed of the monster again.

-

His husband, Li Changzhou, was the most perfect man He Can had ever met: tall, gentle, handsome, wealthy, and devoted. This flawless man fell in love at first sight with He Can, who was a socially awkward recent graduate just starting out in the world.

After He Can accepted Li Changzhou's confession, they quickly became inseparable, moved in together, and got married.

He Can moved into the Li family estate. The tentacled monster stopped appearing in his dreams, replaced by his husband's gentle smile.

He Can began working from home. His husband's passionate kisses woke him in the morning, and before bed, his husband pulled him into a tight embrace until their bodies were pressed together with not a single gap between them, neither able to bear being apart.

Their life continued that way until his husband's twin younger brother returned from abroad.

Although Li Xun looked exactly like Li Changzhou, unlike his husband's gentle nature, Li Xun was more difficult, willful, and impossible to control.

But twins always have plenty in common.

Li Xun was just as tall and handsome, and just as successful.

And he was also… unbelievably good to He Can.

…

He Can was a little afraid of his husband's younger brother.

Whenever Li Xun looked at him, He Can was reminded of the monster in his dreams. The gaze was sticky and sinister, its possessiveness so blatant it didn't even bother to hide.

When Li Xun was home, He Can clung more closely to Li Changzhou, just to limit his interactions with his brother-in-law.

But that solution didn't last. Li Changzhou suddenly fell gravely ill and died in the second year of his marriage to He Can.

The Li family changed hands, and He Can was left a widower.

-

He Can began dreaming again.

The monster in his dreams was much as it had been before. It was still hideous and terrifying, still brandishing its black tentacles, but something about it had changed.

It grew more and more outrageous, more and more obsessive. He Can began to fear going to sleep, because the next time he dreamed, the monster would only hold him tighter.

Every time he woke in a panic, a broad, warm embrace would pull him in.

“Sister-in-law, another nightmare?”

He Can realized that as long as he slept beside Li Xun, the monster in his dreams wouldn't appear.

So he had no choice but to climb into his younger brother-in-law's bed every night and fall asleep peacefully in his arms.

-

The day Li Xun confessed to him, He Can dreamed of his late husband's grave.

The black monster that had been gone for so long crouched on the mound, its dark, slick body writhing hideously, its scarlet eyes as red as blood.

The monster drew closer and closer to He Can.

It turned into Li Changzhou.
