[Extremely oblivious, unwittingly flirtatious bottom × pure-hearted, tsundere wolfdog top]

Shen Zhihe transmigrates into the body of a beautiful immortal master.

But before he can even enjoy a life of luxury, he's promptly slapped right off the wedding sedan meant to take him to his arranged marriage.

Shen Zhihe: Perfect. I don't need to go through with this arranged marriage after all.

On the run, he picks up a spirit dog.

"Here, here, here. Come eat."

Who would have thought the other would jerk his head up as if startled, then give him a disdainful look?

Huh? Why is he a tsundere, too?

With no other choice, Shen Zhihe can only coax him gently.

But shouldn't things be going a little differently?

How did he go from coaxing him...

to, uh... coaxing him into bed?

Xie Huan rescues a beautiful human.

This human is wonderful in every way. He genuinely takes care of him, and when Xie Huan is unhappy, he wracks his brains trying to cheer him up.

But there's one thing wrong with him: he's a bit of an idiot and can't even understand how Xie Huan feels.

Xie Huan sits with his arms folded at the bedside, speaking awkwardly:

"You know... do you ever feel like you want to stay with me forever?"

(Munch, munch.) "No. Why do you ask?"

For the first time, the demon clan's young master, who always got his way, felt defeated.

P.S. The cultivation levels in this novel are: Qi Refining → Foundation Building → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Spirit Transformation → Void Refinement → Great Ascension. (Whispering: The logic in this novel is garbage. Please turn off your brain while reading. Thank you, everyone!)

Ruthless, obsessive younger brother top × aloof, high-and-mighty older brother bottom

Zhou Yu had no idea he was the "cat" in the switched-at-birth story until an accident revealed the truth.

He told his parents everything honestly and brought his younger brother, Zhou Yan, home.

Seeing how docile the boy from the slums seemed, and having no desire to fight for power himself, Zhou Yu decided to give up his inheritance out of the little guilt he felt.

He never expected that decision to push him into an abyss.

Zhou Yan inherited the family fortune, then turned against the Zhou family. Zhou Yu was forced to become his younger brother's plaything.

In the confinement room, the walls were covered with fluffy blankets, and all sorts of toys hung from them.

Zhou Yan leaned close and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I've gone out of my way to help you so many times, but I still can't get into your heart. So I have no choice but to use unconventional methods..."

"..." He couldn't be bothered to respond to that ungrateful wretch, and wouldn't spare him so much as a glance.

"Pay attention to me, Brother. Otherwise, you won't want to find out what I'm capable of."

The man spoke gently. Then he gripped Zhou Yu's chin, making him meet a pair of blood-red eyes that gleamed with interest.

He spoke in a calm voice. "What do you want to do?"

Hearing his cold tone only excited the man more. "Obviously, I want to have you."

.

Zhou Yan had long yearned for his brother. From the first moment he saw him, he was struck by his beauty and revered him like a god.

But there were so many outstanding people around his brother, while he was nothing but a dirty little boy who had crawled through the mud and been brought back from the slums.

He couldn't compare to the people around Zhou Yu.

No matter how hard he tried to pretend to be exactly the sort of person Zhou Yu liked, he couldn't earn even the slightest glance from him.

If he couldn't have him, then he might as well destroy him, he thought indifferently. He used every method he could think of on Zhou Yu, one after another, and at last won a scrap of attention from him.

But he never thought he would lose Zhou Yu completely because of it. Years later, Zhou Yu returned, once again surrounded by outstanding people, just as he had been back then.

Consumed by jealousy, Zhou Yan could only kneel at his feet and beg for forgiveness.

Just as Zhou Yu had treated him back then, he patted Zhou Yan's cheek and asked with interest, "What do you want?"

"Give me a chance, Brother." His voice was hoarse.

"Sure." Zhou Yu agreed readily. "Make me feel good, and then..."

"We'll settle every last bit of what happened back then."
