A Guide to Self-Rescue for an Early-Doomed White Moonlight

[The seemingly obedient but secretly ruthless wolfdog seme x the sickly, gentle, devoted beloved uke]

Su Zhenyue dreamed that he was the beloved who died young in a melodramatic body-double novel, and that the wealthy second-generation heir who had relentlessly pursued him would find a substitute less than three months after his death.

Remembering the dream's ending, where he died in a plane crash, Su Zhenyue boarded an overnight train and fled to a rural high school to work as the school doctor.

He never expected to meet Fang Lie, the substitute uke from his dream.

At the time, Fang Lie was still a ninth-grade student, all skin and bones, with bruises on his face.

Thinking of the happy ending in his dream, where Fang Lie learned he was a substitute but still forgave the scumbag seme, Su Zhenyue couldn't help getting angry.

What kind of messed-up idea of love was that?

Treasure your life, and stay away from scumbag semes!

So, out of pity for a fellow fallen uke, and with the good intention of rescuing a wayward young man, Su Zhenyue took Fang Lie home.

But after one summer vacation...

Su Zhenyue looked at Fang Lie, who had shot up twenty centimeters and developed as quickly as a watermelon pumped full of growth hormones, then glanced at his own thin reflection in the mirror...

Wait, was this guy supposed to be his substitute?

Was the scumbag seme blind?

Since he'd already taken Fang Lie in, Su Zhenyue couldn't bring himself to throw him out.

He cooked nutritious meals for Fang Lie, bought him new clothes, tutored him, and taught him the right way to think about love.

And so, Su Zhenyue raised Fang Lie well until he turned eighteen.

Looking at Fang Lie, now sunny and cheerful, tall and broad-shouldered, and obviously very well-fed, Su Zhenyue smiled with the satisfaction of a proud father.

Just as he was about to send Fang Lie off to college, the young man, broad-shouldered and long-legged and a head taller than him, leaned in and kissed him fiercely.

"Teacher, you said that once I turned eighteen, I could date."

Su Zhenyue was stunned.

He could, sure, but not with him! They were both semes!

*

For the first fifteen years of Fang Lie's life, no one had ever loved him. No one had even cared about him.

Then, during the summer after ninth grade, he found the light of his life.

Su Zhenyue provided him with food and clothes, taught him to study, and raised him to adulthood.

But Fang Lie realized that he'd fallen in love with the teacher who had raised him...

[Bonus Scene 1]

To completely correct Fang Lie's misguided ideas about love and set him on the right path, Su Zhenyue had to teach him about sexual health as well as his regular studies.

Holding a condom, Su Zhenyue blushed and cleared his throat.

"Before you do that, you need to take precautions, especially when we're..."

Before he could finish, Fang Lie's eyes were already sparkling, though he put on an obedient voice.

"Teacher, how do I put this on? I don't know how. Could you put it on for me?"
