The Law Allows No Mercy

Next up: the blurb for "I Told You, This Child Is Mine!" is at the very bottom

My friend's novel, "The Beauty Canary Who Always Wants to Escape"

★ This Novel's Blurb ★

The day Ji Hangjing was released from prison, he ran into Xu Jin, the very person who had sent him there. Xu walked over to him with an umbrella. The large black umbrella shielded them from the gloomy sky.

He said, "I assume you don't have anywhere to stay. Would you like to come to my place?"

He was tactful and polite, and spoke in a way that put people at ease. But Ji Hangjing didn't want to respond. He knew Xu Jin wasn't to blame for his imprisonment, but he couldn't help feeling resentful after three years behind bars.

"What would people say if you lived with a criminal, my presiding judge?"

-

Xu Jin's lover had gone to prison for accidental manslaughter. Xu Jin had arrested him himself, and he was sentenced to three years. Throughout those three years, Xu had only dared to send him things, never once going to visit.

He didn't dare.

Between his lover and the law, he had chosen the law. But after Ji Hangjing was released, Xu Jin still couldn't help approaching him.

He heard Ji Hangjing mock him, and the word "criminal" made his heart feel as if it were being cut to pieces. Even so, he took Ji Hangjing's hand...

"Come home with me."

Xu Jin spoke with humility and determination. Their story shouldn't end here. The law had to be obeyed, but he wanted the man, too.

| Steady, endlessly patient gong vs. sharp-tongued, sensitive, and stubborn shou

| 1v1, both are pure

| The shou had a reason for going to prison, and the gong's feelings for him never wavered. The gong also had a reason for not visiting the shou for three years!!

| Extreme gong- or shou-fans, read with caution

Blurb for "I Told You, This Child Is Mine!"

Zhou Xubai married a powerful man named Fu Linchuan.

He had leaped into the lap of luxury.

He should have been happy, but he just couldn't smile.

Because... he was carrying a child, and that baby wasn't Fu Linchuan's.

Everyone knew Fu Linchuan had a terrible temper and countless ways to torment people. Zhou Xubai could already imagine the terrifying life awaiting him after the wedding.

If his pregnancy became obvious, he would be as good as dead.

On their wedding night, Zhou Xubai was on tenterhooks, terrified that Fu Linchuan would slap him. But what happened was completely different from what he expected...

Fu Linchuan stood by the bed. His face was expressionless, but he held out a glass of milk.

He said, "Drink this before you sleep. It'll help you rest."

He didn't seem at all like the person people described.

The day his pregnancy was discovered, the family flew into a rage. They opened the ancestral hall, brought out the family rules, and planned to beat the child out of him. Zhou Xubai was terrified, afraid of being beaten and afraid Fu Linchuan would be disappointed in him.

Instead, the man who hardly ever spoke stepped in front of him and admitted in front of everyone, "The child is mine."

Zhou Xubai decided there was no one better than Fu Linchuan.

-

After a business dinner, Fu Linchuan happened to go into heat. Without suppressants, he ended up in bed with a stranger.

He wasn't the kind of person who shirked responsibility, so he discussed it with his family and married the man outright.

He'd only meant to take responsibility, but why had nobody told him Zhou Xubai was so adorable?

An adorable husband carrying an adorable baby: double the adorable???`?

The only problem was that Zhou Xubai was so easily frightened. Whenever Fu Linchuan made even the slightest move, Zhou Xubai looked ready to take a beating.

Fu Linchuan: ???

Did he really look like a violent murderer?

That night, Fu Linchuan opened his phone and, with a stern expression, seriously typed into Baidu: "What do I do if my wife is afraid of me? Urgent, waiting online."

On the day Zhou Xubai's pregnancy was discovered, his family was furious. After Fu Linchuan admitted the child was his, Zhou Xubai's attitude toward him clearly changed, and he even seemed a little guilty?

But... the child really was his! He'd said it so many times, but his wife wouldn't believe him...

-

As Zhou Xubai's pregnancy progressed, Fu Linchuan's temper grew worse. He wore a cold expression every day, making Zhou Xubai walk on eggshells for fear of upsetting him.

Then that very night, Zhou Xubai found Fu Linchuan crouched in the bathroom, bawling his eyes out.

After examining him, the family doctor said Fu Linchuan might have prenatal depression.

Zhou Xubai: (°ο°) (confused)

Fu Linchuan: (embarrassed, rubbing his fingers together)

On the day of the birth, Fu Linchuan went into the delivery room to support his wife. The baby was born without a hitch, and Zhou Xubai, weak as he was, wanted to say something sweet to him. But Fu Linchuan collapsed straight to the floor.

After examining him, the doctor said, "Don't worry. He just fainted at the sight of blood."

The fearsome big shot who made everyone tremble was actually a devoted wife-follower who fainted at the sight of blood...

Zhou Xubai slowly covered his face and fell silent.

He felt a little embarrassed.

Reader's Guide:

1. Both the gong and the shou are pure. Their one-night stand happened because the alpha lost control during his rut, so once he learned the consequences, he promptly married the shou.

2. The gong never planned to hide that he was the man from that night. He always thought the shou knew, and he also told him the child was his. The shou, meanwhile, thought, "Waaah, he went this far to protect me. He's a good person!"

3. The overall tone is warm and lighthearted, with a touch of comedy.

"The Beauty Canary Who Always Wants to Escape"

Song He made a mistake the first time he met Sheng Yuli: he splashed scalding tea on him. In that instant, Song He had already imagined every possible way he might die.

Sheng Yuli was arrogant and brutal. They said the number of people who had died at his hands was beyond counting.

Song He had once been a young master who was doted on by everyone. At a banquet, he'd seen with his own eyes as Sheng Yuli ordered his men to beat someone until they were covered in blood.

Back then, he had still been a young master of a prestigious family and hadn't dared to step forward. Now his family had fallen into ruin, and he was merely a plaything of the Sheng family, with a life worth less than grass.

But the other man merely frowned, then took Song He's hand.

He asked, "What's your name?"

Song He was terrified. It took him a long time to answer, and his voice was so quiet that he didn't know if Sheng Yuli had heard him.

But later, somehow, Sheng Yuli became interested in him and often cornered him in the hallways, getting handsy.

He said, "Little auntie, why don't you come with me instead?"

Song He was bullied until his eyes turned red. He was the plaything of Sheng Yuli's uncle. That man was impotent, but he had plenty of ways to torment Song He, leaving him aching all over. But Sheng Yuli wasn't any better.

No matter which one he went with, he'd only be jumping from one pit of fire into another!

On the day Sheng Yuli took him away, Song He prepared himself to die again. But there were no torture devices, no thugs, only a glass of freshly warmed milk.

The man wore his usual lecherous grin, touching and embracing him, but held the milk steady in his hand.

"I finally managed to make you mine, baby."

That day, Song He drank milk with sugar in it, then tasted Sheng Yuli without sugar. Sheng Yuli insisted on knowing which one was sweeter.

He pressed Song for an answer all night, and Song cried all night.

Then he started teasing him again, saying, "Baby, you really can cry."

Song He realized that things seemed to be taking a strange turn.
