Whose Ex Is This Pure?

Liang Xiao is a successful young man, a bestselling comic artist who has topped the charts for a decade. People call him the pinnacle of chastity.

And he really is that chaste.

From family and friends to colleagues and strangers, almost no one is allowed within three feet of him.

He is like a lonely soul with no heart, imprisoning himself in a tiny abyss, bored and boring.

So when his nude photos trended online, no one believed them. Before he could even issue a clarification, scandals came one after another: plagiarism, trading favors for opportunities...

With his career on the brink of collapse, Liang Xiao remained unmoved.

That was, until someone revealed that he had a first love he had loved but never won.

The beast opened its eyes.

Ye Chen has never told anyone that he is ill.

He has never told anyone that he still loves his ex, either.

His uncontrollable love and surging desire nearly drown him... He can restrain his own cravings, but he cannot stand by while anyone slanders Liang Xiao.

Even a creeping vine that lives in the dark has moments when it protects its Host.

A few things to know before reading:

Comic artist seme x dancer uke

Their feelings are mutual and unwavering. Dual perspective, mostly from the seme’s side (roughly 7:3). They only have eyes for each other.

P.S. 1. Liang Xiao is dark beneath the surface, very dark (important!!!)

2. Ye Chen (Chen), a beautiful man with medium-length hair!

3. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting!

4. Don’t conflate the novel with real life!

5. Expect melodrama. The characters’ values may be questionable, so please be a law-abiding citizen in real life!

[At its heart, this is a story about two guys biting and grooming each other. It’s only for readers who ship the couple. Anyone with extreme character preferences should steer clear.]

Thesis: Always have courage.
