Can Masters and Servants Fall in Love Too?

[A stone-faced, ridiculously handsome powerhouse seme × an ambitious, seductive beauty uke]

Xie Qinghuai is the main god's fourth son.

A hundred years ago, the main god cast him into an abyssal prison, where he was meant to remain forever, never to see the light again. Then, one day, someone fell from the sky and opened the door for him.

“I'm an emissary sent by the main god to assist you.”

The tall wolf demon had a pair of cold golden eyes.

“My name is Xue Qi.”

Xue Qi said Xie Qinghuai's divine father was near death, and the world was about to end. Of the main god's seven sons, only one could inherit the divine throne and create a new spark of life for the world.

To ensure absolute fairness, the main god had established a rule: the only way for his seven sons to compete for the throne was to kill one another. The victor would be king.

But Xie Qinghuai's divine power was too meager. Going into battle alone would mean certain death, so the main god had “graciously” sent the wolf demon to guard him.

After hearing him out, Xie Qinghuai gave a cold laugh and told him to shut the door and get lost.

Xue Qi examined his dim left eye and frail body, his tone turning contemptuous. “You'll probably die on your own before long anyway.”

Xie Qinghuai smiled. “I'll show you who dies first. How about right now?”

Inside the prison, Xie Qinghuai fought through his last ounce of strength to cripple one of Xue Qi's arms, while Xue Qi stabbed through his blind left eye. In the end, the two of them sat shoulder to shoulder beneath the moon, tending to their wounds. Neither had managed to get the better of the other.

Xue Qi: “Come with me. I'll protect you with my life.”

Xie Qinghuai: “Are you confessing your love to me?”

Xue Qi: “I'm the main god's servant. Helping you claim the throne is my duty.”

Xie Qinghuai: “...” Boring. Whatever.

He held out his hand, and Xue Qi lowered his head to kiss his fingers.

Their pact as temporary master and servant, joining forces against the whole world, was sealed.

Later, Xue Qi finally realized just how good Xie Qinghuai's acting had been that day.

Xue Qi: “Can you ever tell the truth?”

Xie Qinghuai: “Last night, you were so good, I begged you to go easy on me. That was true.”

Xue Qi: “...”

Coming soon: Madam, You Wouldn't Want Anything to Happen to Your Husband, Would You?

Cui Ji has recently been investigating a series of murders.

Just as he reaches the witness's apartment building, he runs into a man in yellow hurrying away.

The young man who opens the door is wrapped in the damp, steamy scent of body wash and fresh from the shower. He invites Cui Ji inside.

The place is a mess, and the air is thick with lingering traces of intimacy.

A matching yellow coat hangs on the sofa. Several mature-looking ties hang on the coat rack, and three condoms lie in the trash can.

“I ran into a man downstairs wearing yellow, and his coat looked a lot like this one.” Cui Ji points to the sofa.

The young man smiles faintly. “That must have been my boyfriend. He has several coats like that.”

Cui Ji's lips curl almost imperceptibly.

Interesting. It looks like the killer I'm after is your boyfriend.

I got here at just the right time.

Chu Qiu has been with his current boyfriend since he was nineteen.

Over the past six years, their relationship has gradually settled into a routine. They see each other three times a week, and it always takes ages for his messages to get a reply.

He thought things would go on like this forever.

Until the handsome repairman who had come over twice to fix his water heater suddenly moved into the apartment downstairs...
