Arresting a Lover

My Fluid Animal-Form Cyberpunk | Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Snake and Sheep Completed. Thank you for supporting the official release. In filthy, bustling Yujing, the name Gan Lin means sin and sweetness. He is beautiful and cunning, born into low station, and willing to do anything. It took him only six years to claw his way up from the stinking Underground District Three to the highest Dawn District One. Then, in the seventh year, the eldest son of the lion family in Dawn District One was murdered. His death was gruesome, his face twisted beyond recognition. According to the Yujing Central Police Bureau’s investigation, the last person to share a night of passion with him was none other than the beautiful lover from Underground District Three. A white sheep, seemingly pure and harmless, yet cruel to the core. The next day, wanted posters for Gan Lin covered Yujing’s high-rises and narrow alleys. Herta Vis was leading the case as deputy chief of police. Heir to the snake family, he was aloof and perceptive, with the astonishing efficiency and insight of a black king cobra. His perfect case record and thunderous methods had made him famous. The Central Police Bureau had no doubt that Herta Vis would uphold justice this time, too. But unfortunately, even after three whole months, Gan Lin was still nowhere to be found. Yujing’s elite could only console the Lion family and enter the rainy season with regret. What nobody knew was that, at the start of the rainy season, a fierce tryst had taken place in Underground District Three. Gan Lin’s gracefully curved horns brushed Herta Vis’s nose, while his fingertips caressed his chest. In the torrential rain, the pure lamb offered up his softness. “Turn off the lights, Chief,” he whispered seductively into Herta Vis’s ear. “With the lights off, I’ll belong to you completely.” Herta Vis’s long, supple tail slid its scales over Gan Lin’s snow-white ankle and slowly reached the switch. “Click.” In the dim room, the snake’s slit pupils looked down from above. * Cool-headed, stern, and secretly ruthless law enforcer: black snake top x cunning, beautiful, secretly dark wanted criminal: white sheep bottom A-list actor vs. A-list actor, secret identities collide At first, we deceive each other.

My next book is The Golden Wind and Jade Dew, a transmigration-into-a-doppelganger romance set in the near-modern era with my own take on steampunk. Here’s the blurb. Please add it to your library! Transmigration into a doppelganger romance / ancient-to-modern transmigration / my take on steampunk Before his death, Shen Ji was the best assassin in Great Yan. When he opened his eyes again, headlights dazzled him. A kind stranger pushed him out of the way, and he tumbled to the roadside. Looking back, he saw the paper lanterns beneath the eaves replaced by neon lights, while kites and flying machines filled the sky. This was the Republic of Yunshu, in the eleventh year of the New Calendar. The Federation’s airships had brought down the Yan Dynasty. The last emperor died in prison, and the final high minister fled overseas. A new nation was born amid curses, and Shen Ji was reborn in Jinfu, the most prosperous city in the southwest. His old country was gone, the world had changed. Shen Ji should have been a stranger to everyone, yet he was targeted for assassination simply because his face was identical to that of “Third Master Meng.” Such a strange coincidence really existed. In these chaotic times, why not take his place? * With the restoration of his old country in mind, Shen Ji went to great lengths to finally meet Meng Yansheng. He partnered with Meng Yansheng under the guise of a substitute, staying by his side day and night and learning to imitate him. But the more he learned, the stranger things became. How could Meng Yansheng be so… so much like him? Their faces were mirror images, they were the same height, and their temperaments were identical. Yet Meng Yansheng dreamed of reform, while Shen Ji wanted to restore Great Yan. They were inseparable, living and traveling together, yet their hearts were at odds. They were destined to go their separate ways. * On the day he made his move, Shen Ji slipped in without a hitch. But just as he entered, something felt wrong. He drew his gun and darted aside, only to see Meng Yansheng leaning against the corner of a desk, perfectly composed. Meng Yansheng stood tall and poised, and asked with impeccable courtesy, “Are you going to use the shooting technique I taught you to kill your own teacher, Xia Ji?” In the long silence, amid the click of the trigger, Shen Ji and Meng Yansheng attacked at the same time, each going for a face identical to his own. * Cold and detached, reborn assassin bottom x smooth and savvy, young master of a merchant guild top Shen Ji x Meng Yansheng “This is an age of decay. This is an age of rebirth.” “Shen Ji, this is our age.” "This story is entirely fictional. Please do not conflate it with reality." Revised blurb written on June 16, 2026, and archived.
