1.

For a while, book-crossing was all the rage at school.

So Cen Yifeng borrowed a book from the library.

Later, she returned it with a postcard tucked inside.

Half a month later, she borrowed it again.

The postcard had disappeared, replaced by a leaf.

The strokes were fluid, the handwriting graceful.

It read: Would you like to chat with a leaf?

2.

One day, Cen Yifeng pulled a book from the shelf.

A piece of paper slipped out and fell to the floor.

After checking carefully, she confirmed it was the postcard she had once tucked into Love in a Fallen City.

But it was also a little different...

The palm-sized paper was completely covered over with new writing, hiding all the original words.

The words were densely layered: I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you

“One day, a lonely leaf was gently stirred by the wind and wandered among the clouds. Later, the wind died down, and the leaf fell back to the lush branches.

The seasons changed, and all things withered and flourished. The leaf remained there, day after day, waiting for the wind to return.”

Please save my upcoming pseudo-incest story, My Brother Turned into a Brooding Incubus!

①

Ming Xue has recently been arguing with the owner of an online shop.

She bought an “incubus.”

The owner quickly found an incubus with a 100% compatibility match, just as she requested. He promised to ship it before Lunar New Year, but summer solstice is almost here and her “incubus” still hasn't appeared!

When she finally heard from him again, the owner said the “incubus” had been delivered to her home last month.

She thought about it and realized, oh, it had arrived last month.

She'd been vacationing on an island then. Her brother must have signed for it.

No wonder there had been strange noises at home lately. It turned out the “incubus” who had arrived long ago was shy.

So she went to her brother's room to look for the “incubus.”

Wait...

Ming Xue rubbed her chin.

Why did this incubus look so familiar?

②

After the rare storm of 3052, a species called “incubi” appeared on Earth.

They did not need to reproduce and survived on emotions.

When a human's emotions became extremely intense, they were easily invaded by an “incubus” and gradually transformed into one.

Ever since reading his sister's diary, You Yue had found his emotions increasingly difficult to control.

At first, he was jealous, jealous of everyone who spoke to his sister.

Later, he began to develop an extreme desire to control her. He wanted to lock his sister inside and keep outsiders from seeing her.

Until one day, he looked in the mirror and saw his own pupils had turned blood red, the color possessed only by “incubi.”

③

Anyone who had met You Yue knew how he did things: he was exacting, meticulous, proud, and cold-tempered.

They also knew he had a younger sister, Ming Xue.

Ming Xue had been going against her brother ever since she was little.

Yet no matter how much You Yue disliked people who defied him, he was always indulgent and affectionate toward this one sister.

You Yue didn't like people eating in his car, but Ming Xue could.

You Yue didn't like people chattering, but Ming Xue could.

You Yue didn't like people clinging to him and acting cute, but Ming Xue could.

Until one day, he accidentally saw Ming Xue's diary.

His sister's standards for a partner had become:

Find a boyfriend just like my brother.

Excerpt from Little Snowflake's Diary

All right, raising someone is raising someone, isn't it?

My brother raised me for the first nineteen years. I'll raise him for the rest of our lives [starry-eyed]

How did I figure out something was wrong?

First, my brother's eyes turned red!

Then, he grew fangs!

After that, he grew horns and a tail!

And then, I realized my brother wasn't my brother!

He had evolved into an S-class incubus [shocked][shocked]
