I'm Just Into Hands, That's All

Hand fetishist, extravagant rich third-generation playboy, top * physically incomplete, extremely possessive bottom

Blurb:

Jian Xiying is a playboy who cares about looks, but cares even more about hands. He usually lives a carefree life, until a package arrives containing a severed limb that has turned stiff and pale.

An upper limb like a work of art. Blood had dried around the stump, the wound was ragged, and jagged black-and-red bone spikes jutted out...

Jian Xiying was so frightened that he threw it away on the spot. But the next day, the hand appeared again.

It slept on his stomach like an animal longing for warmth...

“Do you think that guy's hand is pretty? I'll cut it off for you.”

“No, no, no. Yours is obviously the prettiest.”

Jian Xiying coaxed Lu Tan, who had no body, doing his best to prevent bloodshed. The next second, a cold hand took his, its stiff fingers slipping one by one between his.

Lu Tan withdrew the blood threads spreading through the air. “Comfort me.”
