The Straight Campus Heartthrob Was Smitten into an Obsessive Creep

[Comments are open. Updates daily at around 6:18 p.m.] ◇ Tan Mo, the cool beauty of Qing University’s sculpture department, is famous for being cold-hearted, playing with people’s feelings, and taking no responsibility. Every guy who models for him, straight or gay, falls for him within three months. Tan Mo turns them all down and cuts off contact. Everyone says that if this keeps up, all the handsome guys at Qing University will fall victim to him. Luckily, the campus heartthrob Jing Hao is famously straight as an arrow and uninterested in beauty. He seems likely to be the only one who gets away unscathed. But the very next day, someone sees Jing Hao knocking on Tan Mo’s door in the arts building, medical checkup report in hand. "Hello, I’m here to apply for the model job." ◇ Jing Hao has known Tan Mo since they were kids. He can't believe it, and won't stand by and watch Tan Mo get caught up in one "scandal with a man" after another. So he decides to model for Tan Mo. After all, he's completely straight, and he and Tan Mo are just friends. But later, he realizes he was wrong. To finish his work, Tan Mo studies him with his eyes, then uses his fingers to measure and feel the lines of his muscles inch by inch, creating the best sculpture he can. Jing Hao: "Do you do this with everyone?" Tan Mo: "Does it bother you?" That exchange happens countless times after Jing Hao becomes Tan Mo's model. At first, Jing Hao's answer is simply: "No. Why would I care?" Later, all he can do is fall silent, lips pressed tight. His eyes redden as he stares at Tan Mo and says: "Yeah. I care." At last, Jing Hao, reeking of alcohol, pins Tan Mo against the door, gripping his wrist. "Ge, tell me who that man is." "I feel so awful." "Why did you have to find someone else... Am I not good enough?" The German Shepherd, once so steady and unflappable, becomes a possessive, rabid attack dog. Tan Mo is like prey, his throat caught in a chokehold, while the young man's sharp canine teeth could snap his neck at any moment. Yet smiling, he wraps his arms around him in return. "All right. I'll only do this with you." Looking in the mirror, Tan Mo sees his own eyes brimming with the unrestrained delight of getting exactly what he wanted.

[Already writing it!] A silly, sweet rom-com. Please add it to your collection if you like! [Blurb] Xu Rong opens his eyes to discover he's dead, but his name isn't in the Book of Life and Death. The underworld messenger says the old underworld server probably hasn't refreshed, so Xu Rong should float around the human world for a while. With nothing else to do, Xu Rong decides to scare his nemesis. Xu Rong floats into his nemesis's home. He sends a few chills of ghostly wind to wake the man, then pulls a really scary face. Who would have thought his nemesis would pull him into his arms and kiss him on the mouth the very next moment? ◇ Shen Yuheng has had a crush on Xu Rong for years, only to hear that the man he loves is dead. One night, while holding Xu Rong's memorial portrait, he feels something stir. When he opens his eyes, the man he loves is right in front of him, sticking out his tongue and acting cute. Thinking he's dreaming, Shen Yuheng pulls him into his arms and kisses him fiercely. Later, Shen Yuheng realizes this might not be a dream. ◇ There's something wrong with Xu Rong's soul, and he could vanish at any moment. His friend, a Taoist priest, says Shen Yuheng has an intensely yang constitution. Xu Rong will only avoid being scattered to the winds if he stays with him. An intensely yang constitution with a ghost? That sounds completely unreliable. "You're a half-baked priest, aren't you?" Shen Yuheng's remark nearly makes the man drop dead on the spot. Taoist friend: "I ** you, you &￥*" Shen Yuheng cuts him off impatiently. "So what should I do?" The Taoist friend takes a deep breath. "For now, kissing him seems to be the most effective way to keep him alive." Shen Yuheng pauses, then changes his tune at lightning speed. "Yes, you're the best Taoist priest in the world." Taoist friend: "???" ◇ Shen Yuheng has had a crush on Xu Rong for years, but the other man always seems afraid of him. This time, though, fate has given him a chance. I won't let you go. Shen Yuheng looks at the confused, bewildered Xu Rong on his bed in the bedroom and thinks. 1. Shen Yuheng x Xu Rong | A dog of a top who's human but as gloomy and damp as a male ghost x an adorable, innocent, gullible bottom who's a ghost but seems human 2. The bottom is the only one who thinks they're nemeses. A story about someone trying to find an enemy and accidentally bringing home a husband. 3. One-on-one romance, body and heart; happy ending, sweet bedtime reading, no angst or complicated backstory, just silly sweetness all the way. Theme: Love gives us the courage to overcome every obstacle.
