Open the Door, Dear, It's Daddy

[A ruthless, cold, and formidable dark-skinned god who loves with unwavering devotion]

[A money-loving, lecherous, sweet-talking, beautiful flirt and office drone]

1.

Gan Lin was beautiful and unlucky, poor and miserable. After being accidentally killed by the Wind God, he gained the ability to see ghosts, and had no choice but to become the only mortal employee at the Office of the Gods' Human Realm Affairs.

His goal: get promoted, earn more, save up, cure his ability to see ghosts, forget these gods and monsters, and quit immediately!

But the Wind God seemed far too kind and attentive to him. Gan Lin assumed it was out of guilt, until a few dreams made him realize...

It turned out he looked a lot like the Wind God's adoptive father. This kid thinks I'm his dad!

2.

All the gods knew that Gan Lin was the reincarnation of the Rain God, the person Feilian had loved for tens of thousands of years. Everyone knew except Gan Lin himself.

Becoming a dad without any pain, and having a powerful god for a son, Gan Lin felt he had reached the pinnacle of life.

Feilian: Can't stand seeing Gan Lin get along with anyone else.

Gan Lin: It's normal for a son to be possessive of his dad. Kids don't like it when their parents praise other children.

Feilian: Can't bear to see Gan Lin suffer, so he provides him with food, clothing, shelter, and money.

Gan Lin: What a filial child.

Feilian: Loving him but unable to have him...

Gan Lin: The joys of family life!

3.

Later, Gan Lin's dreams took a turn.

In the dream, Feilian's slender, bony hands roamed over another body, white as snow, leaving marks one after another.

Even in the dream, Gan Lin was complaining that this son of his had no idea how to be gentle.

Feilian in everyone else's eyes: Black hair against a frost-white complexion, able to destroy the eight wildernesses with a snap of his fingers. An ancient, vicious fiend to be avoided, aloof and taciturn, powerful and solitary, not to be trifled with.

Feilian in Gan Lin's eyes: A handsome, dark-skinned hunk, long-legged with abs, a wonderful lover who can grip his partner by the waist with one hand and leave fingerprints.

Then the dream shifted, and the person gripped by those hands was none other than Gan Lin himself.

Oh no, his pure fatherly love had changed into something else!

4.

Eventually, Gan Lin's dreams became reality.

Bullied until his eyes brimmed with tears, he said, "Lord Feilian, didn't you say you couldn't bear to see me suffer? This is clearly bullying."

Feilian, with eyes and heart full of him, kissed and sucked on the tip of his ear, restraining himself. "Then should I be gentler?"

Gan Lin hugged him, crying. "Be rougher."

5.

Everyone feared Feilian, yet criticized him as a turncoat who had betrayed his side on the battlefield and served two masters.

They didn't know that from body to mind to soul, Feilian had only ever had one master.

To love forever and then forget forever: the cruelest of curses.

I am the wind that is devoted only to you. I will love you forever and never forget.

[Reading Guide]

1. Both are each other's only partner and first love. Loyal dog x flirt. The receiving partner is reincarnated, while the attacking partner waits devotedly for him.

2. Contains supernatural elements and mild horror (though the author may not manage to make it scary). If that's not your thing, read with caution.

3. In keeping with the author's usual style, expect angst mixed in with the sweetness. Happy ending.

[A flamboyant, debauched, highly twisted mutant attacker]

[A cool on the outside, alluring on the inside, secretly insane scientist receiver]

1.

Yan Longshi was the first mutant on the planet.

Deputy commander of the Seventh Legion of the Imperial Fortress Coalition Forces and the Joint Psionic Assault Division, codename: Dragon Master.

His power was unfathomable. The strongest in the empire, the most handsome in the galaxy, a wilderness gourmet, and the dream man of countless women and men. His subordinates admired him, his superiors trusted him, and he succeeded wherever he went.

Except with Xi Ting.

In Xi Ting's eyes, he was simply a mutant with scientific value. The only thing that made him more valuable than a specimen in a jar was that he could be used as an outlet for anger.

Yan Longshi didn't care.

Because to him, Xi Ting's cool, beautiful face, pale and fragile skin, perfectly proportioned body, and sleep-deprived dark circles were nothing but vessels for desire and toys to be manipulated.

He watched with cold eyes, mocking and jeering.

When Xi Ting pried out the most important crystal core from the back of his neck, Yan Longshi thought he would strangle him.

But in the end, he only held him tight with enough force to kill.

2.

Xi Ting was the twenty-third original body, cultivated in an incubation pod over hundreds of years as his genes were continuously optimized and his knowledge expanded.

He was regarded as the empire's treasure and hope.

He was to make the empire great again and give everything for it.

So he didn't need emotions or preferences. Beyond scientific research to strengthen the empire and its military, he had no need to consider anything else.

He knew Yan Longshi's gaze was changing, and he knew what the other man was plotting.

Xi Ting didn't care either, because it was all deliberate.

The ambiguous red and purple marks on his pale skin were ones he'd deliberately made so Yan Longshi would see them.

The seemingly casual touches of skin that made Yan Longshi breathe hotly and heavily were deliberate too.

Even the delicate, elegant ankles Yan Longshi liked most were something he deliberately revealed, again and again.

He was a madman. He had no need for gentleness, manners, or restraint.

He wanted only heat, consumption, plunder, and destruction.

He had a hundred reasons to hate Yan Longshi.

But in the end, he only wanted to tell Yan Longshi that he loved him.

He wanted Yan Longshi to love him and hurt him without holding back, then destroy him and the empire along with him.

3.

Xi Ting was forever cold and unfeeling: "I'll wait for you to destroy me. It's the same thing as waiting for you to save me."

Yan Longshi simply held him. "There, I know. I understand. You're telling me you love me..."

Xi Ting finally understood that love wasn't a sin, but a mistake more fatal than sin.

But what did it matter?

He had already loved Yan Longshi, and had already given himself to him.

[Reading Guide]

1. Yan Longshi is the attacker, and Xi Ting is the receiver: a mutant military officer and a cloned scientist.

2. At heart, it's about an attacker who loves showing off and a calm receiver who sees through him but enjoys and indulges his act.

3. There will be angst, but plenty of sweetness too!

4. This is the author's take on interstellar sci-fi. The author alone gets to explain all the terminology.
