Deputy Spring Soup

Coming soon: Through the Clouds to See the Mountain. Blurb below.

The Aphrodisiac Soup, also known as A Bowl of Virility Tonic (chapter comments are open, come join in!)

Pure and devoted college guy seme x promiscuous, seductive, and indiscriminate doctor uke

Song Mi has a handsome face, a bewitching voice, and a respectable job. For years, he’s flitted from flower to flower without ever settling down. His only flaw is that he likes men.

To treat his “hidden ailment” of being gay, his mother coaxed and tricked him into drinking a bowl of “virility-boosting” herbal soup.

The medicine worked wonders. The first time he met the person who brought it, he felt something for him unlike anything he’d felt for all the other flowers, even though the man was still a man.

The medicine had a bug, too: it didn’t cure his womanizing ways.

The medicine’s effects may be limited, but his feelings know no bounds. As their affection grows, so do their sense of morality and responsibility.

At this point, the two should be sitting down to eat dumplings in a happy reunion. But the vanished first love who made Song Mi give up his ideals, change his nature, and come out before he was an adult suddenly appears out of nowhere!

As the saying goes, “It’s easy to step through a thicket of thorns, but hard to turn away from the moonlight at your window.”

Which is stronger, the pull of the unattainable first love or the importance of the person right before him? How will it all be decided...

Notes: 1. The protagonist is sexually promiscuous and often flirts around. Proceed with caution if that’s a dealbreaker.

2. The use of some Chinese herbs is based on reference materials, but don’t use them carelessly.

4. Please add this to your collection. My completed novel and upcoming works are next door. I’m waiting eagerly for you to pick them!

Dearest readers, please add my upcoming novel Through the Clouds to See the Mountain to your collection!

Blurb:

Jiang Zhan (seme): Appears calm, steady, and restrained, but is actually a flirtatious, secretly sensual type.

Chu Jingshan (uke): Appears arrogant and spoiled, but is softhearted. In reality, he’s extremely calculating and devious.

“What did you say? Give Jiang Zhan to Chu Fangyun?” Chu Jingshan reacted as if he’d heard the most shocking joke in the world. He laughed, overcome with fury, kicked over the tea table, and pointed at Chu Shoucheng’s nose. “What kind of idiot would believe that? Do you think I’m Chu Fangyun? Do I need your money or your charity? What makes you think I’d sit here and listen to you spew filth? Let me make this clear: you can forget about it.”

Chu Shoucheng suppressed his anger and sneered sideways. “Chu Jingshan, I’m not asking you. I’m ordering you. You like Jiang Zhan a lot, don’t you? Then do you not care about his career, his reputation, or his future?”

Chu Shoucheng is Chu Jingshan’s biological father, but he never loved or cared for him, never taught or raised him, and looked at him with nothing but contempt and disgust. He called him a street rat, a maggot in a latrine. On the surface, it was because Chu Jingshan was gay, but in truth, Chu Shoucheng was hiding a dark, vicious, and perverse secret.

-

Chu Jingshan fell in love with someone. He couldn’t say whether it happened at the scene of that rain-soaked car crash or on the bright morning he left the police station. He only knew that this person was his younger sister Chu Fangyun’s beloved.

Chu Fangyun said she would give them her blessing. Then she died on Xiaoman Mountain, carrying twins.

Premise: Love yourself before you love someone else.
