The Pretty Tops Who Got Played and Left Drained

Story One: Strawberry Yogurt-Scented Alpha

At twenty-two, Shu Ying was a low-grade Alpha who had just graduated from college. He was average in intelligence and terribly unlucky. Despite working himself to the bone at two jobs, he barely made any money. Desperate for cash, he acted on impulse, figured out how to log in to a niche pheromone-trading site, and posted: “Selling strawberry yogurt-scented Alpha pheromones.”

The post sparked endless discussion, but only one person was actually interested in buying.

Thinking he had nothing to lose, Shu Ying clung to that sole potential customer like a lifeline. No matter what the other man asked for, he agreed, as long as they could complete the pheromone transaction.

A free sample of his pheromones? Sure.

A video demonstrating how to extract them? Sure.

An in-person pheromone transfer? Sure.

By the time Shu Ying came to his senses, the man named Ji Liuzhou had already had his way with him.

Story Two: The Purehearted Acting Fan

The beautiful gong grew up in a sheltered environment and was obsessed with acting from a young age. The shou was a genius director he greatly admired. When he received an invitation to audition for a role in the shou’s new work, the gong was so excited that he couldn’t sleep all night. He showed up the next day with dark circles under his eyes.

Little did he know, the genius he admired was actually a sex-crazed lunatic.

Story Three: The Slim-Muscle Streamer Who Pretends to Date the Cool Top Student for Money

The beautiful gong has a perfectly toned, pale physique and makes transformation videos. His videos get decent views, but his earnings are pitiful.

During a livestream battle, he went up against a same-sex couple who streamed on the same platform. When he saw the gift-value bar on the other side instantly crush his own, he felt a deep sense of unfairness.

Why should he work so hard on makeup, outfits, and building muscle, only to earn less than the other two make from a single kiss on camera?

The seed of discontent took root in his heart, then suddenly burst into life when his cool, top-student roommate suggested they pretend to be a couple.

Story Four: The Beautiful Idol with a Fierce Drive to Succeed

In his previous life, the beautiful gong was exceptionally talented and always gave his all in fan service. His jealous teammate, who had gotten close to a powerful patron, bullied him and forced him out of the group.

In this life, reborn at a critical moment when a loved one is near death, the beautiful gong decides he won’t sit around waiting anymore. He takes the initiative and accepts the olive branch offered by that man.

Coming Soon One: A Guide to the Sickly Gong’s Self-Rescue

A collection of stories about sickly gongs.

Story One: The Sickly Gong with Severe Allergies

At twenty-one, Yu Lian had the worst luck: a genetic mutation left him prone to allergies. His triggers were bizarre and everywhere.

This debilitating condition made it impossible for him to work outside the home.

To survive, he got himself a rich boyfriend so he could freeload on food and board.

The good news: he no longer had to risk his life going out to work.

The bad news: he was allergic to his boyfriend’s touch and scent.

Close enough to see, but impossible to have.

After a while, his rich boyfriend grew dissatisfied and tried to force Yu Lian to consummate their relationship.

After a narrow escape, Yu Lian realized he couldn’t stay there. He had to find a new way out, which meant finding a new boyfriend.

Having learned from experience, Yu Lian set impossibly strict requirements for his next boyfriend.

Netizens said he was dreaming. How could there possibly be an “ATM who’d take him in and accept a sexless, platonic relationship without complaint” in this world?

His rich ex-boyfriend also declared that Yu Lian would be doomed without him.

But three months later, not only was Yu Lian still alive, he was thriving.

Guess what?

He really did find an ATM who was happy to take him in and accept a platonic relationship!

Story Two: The Blind, Sickly Gong from a Fallen Family, Living Under Someone Else’s Roof

After a sudden upheaval at home, there was no one to care for Yu Lian, who had unexpectedly lost his sight. He was sent to stay with the family of the fiancé he’d been promised to as a child.

The good news: his fiancé and the fiancé’s family were all kind to him.

The bad news: Yu Lian couldn’t tell them apart.

During his stay, he kept mistaking his fiancé’s twin brother for his fiancé, or confusing his fiancé’s cold-faced older brother for him.

Story Three: The Lame, Fake Young Master Who’s Starved for Love and Money

The day his identity as a fake young master was exposed, Yu Nuo limped back to the slums in disgrace. On the way, he found a child in a trash can.

He knew he had no money, no life experience, and a bad leg. He could barely support himself, let alone another child.

To make sure he and the child could survive, he set his sights on Jing Xun, the university genius everyone in the apartment block praised.

If he couldn’t raise a child on his own, he’d find someone else to share the burden.

Coming Soon Two: Has This Husbandly Gay Man’s Low Libido Been Cured?

Shen Que is the ultimate catch in the gay community, with an exceptionally husbandly vibe.

Unfortunately, no one is perfect.

Shen Que has one fatal weakness: a low libido.

“Low libido” is written as low libido and read as erectile dysfunction.

It makes countless bottoms who are eager to try their luck because of his looks and physique hesitate.

After all, being able to look but not touch can be a huge source of torment.

Under the circumstances, Shen Que had resigned himself to being alone for the rest of his life.

Then Lu Qi showed up, fearless as ever, and said, “Give me a try. I like low-libido tops.”

Shen Que believed him, and after careful consideration, married Lu Qi.

But just a few days after the wedding, Lu Qi began coming up with all sorts of ways to work on his “low libido.”

Special diets, acupuncture, famous kidney-tonic recipes…

There was nothing Lu Qi couldn’t think of, and nothing Shen Que hadn’t seen.

They were already married. What could he do?

Shen Que could only play along.

A short scene:

One day after the wedding, a curious friend asked Lu Qi, “You really don’t mind that your husband has, uh, a low libido?”

Lu Qi silently pointed to the cold sore at the corner of his mouth, telling the friend to look.

The friend pondered, then suddenly understood. “Ohhh, so you can still use your mouth and hands?”

Lu Qi was furious. “Hell, no! I’m showing you the blister I got from holding it in! Keep this up and I’ll die of frustration!”

It turned out he’d overestimated himself.

With Shen Que parading in front of him every day, he couldn’t stand it at all!

For the sake of his own happiness, Shen Que made a decision:

He was going to cure Shen Que’s low libido! Whoever wants to put up with this can do it themselves!

The key thing to note: the shou pursues him more intensely at first, then the gong reciprocates later. It’s a story about a couple’s everyday romance.
