Being a Kept Man Is Pretty Sweet

New book: Writing a Pure-Love Novel in an Explicit Fictional World is currently being serialized. Please come check it out, lovely readers! Ji Xiaocha transmigrates into an explicit novel set in a world with many men and few women. And becomes the vicious villainess destined for a tragic ending. To change her fate, Ji Xiaocha resolves to stay away from the male and female leads, only to receive a notice demanding an enormous tax for being single. It turns out that in this world, where the ratio of females to males is an astonishing 1:10,000, females enjoy every kind of social privilege. But once they reach adulthood, they have to marry at least three male husbands. Otherwise, they will either be forcibly matched with spouses or face a hefty single tax. Ji Xiaocha is desperate. To avoid being forcibly bred, she starts writing online fiction to make money. Though this world of explicit fiction has no shortage of graphic content, its cultural life is painfully barren. The so-called romance consists of two people exchanging a glance before immediately giving in to passion. A romantic storyline? There isn't one at all. Ji Xiaocha: How about I whip out a pure-love story? Won't you horny lot lose your minds? She gets right to work, pulling out her keyboard. [Ten years into my secret crush on the goddess, I accidentally discover that my photo is hidden in her notebook.] Male-beast readers comment: [Are you dreaming? There are so few females that they can't even get around to indulging all the male beasts every day. How could one have a secret crush?] [Hahaha, another beastman so lovesick over females he's lost his mind. Go wash up and sleep it off.] [...Something's wrong. We're already on chapter two, so why haven't they gone to bed yet?] Later [Waaah, is this the magic of pure love?] [Dammit, author, what have you put in this story? There's not even a kissing scene, but I'm so hot.] Ignoring the controversy, Ji Xiaocha keeps writing. [After my wife's white moonlight returns to the planet, I voluntarily step aside and give up my place as her husband, but she refuses to sign the divorce papers.] [My “daughter” is getting married. As her adoptive father, I personally accompany her to choose a husband. She rejects every candidate, then turns her gaze to me.] After one bestselling story after another, Ji Xiaocha finally pays off her enormous single tax. Only when she looks up does she realize she's surrounded by people. They eye her hungrily, hemming her in on all sides. The insecure, floppy-eared gray rabbit heir: “Chacha, I'm good for nothing except being rich. I can only use that to beg you to make me one of your husbands, okay?” The young master's gentle, aloof white fox stepfather: “Xiaocha, my son is inexperienced and doesn't know how to please a female. But I'm different.” The proud, down-on-his-luck wolfdog she picked up by the roadside: “Ji Xiaocha, I'll work hard to reach the top, until I'm worthy of becoming your stepping stone.” The all-conquering black snake marshal: “I'll get rid of every rule that displeases you.” The mechanical monster that destroyed a planet in the original story: “Master, the destruction or survival of this planet is in your hands.” [Story blurb] A City's youngest and most promising detective, a beta police investigator hailed as a genius, has a secret: he has a wonderful alpha lover, so wonderful that he wants to hide her away where no one can find her. An old-money omega widower, living in a seaside castle, has a secret: he's fallen in love with his new alpha maid. Unfortunately, she already has a lover, and he wants to steal her away. A delicate, soft-bodied seventeen-year-old ballet dancer has a secret: he's fallen for his distant cousin's new bride. He knows it's forbidden, but he still... The arrogant, untouchable school bully has a secret: five minutes into study hall, he's already stolen a fifteenth glance at the teacher at the podium. Damn it, he hates her most of all! The newly appointed omega head of the old aristocratic Leslie family has a secret, too: the subordinate he once had the highest hopes for has been gone for a few months, and in that time she abandoned a legendary figure in law enforcement, married his old rival, left that rival's cousin lovesick and unable to eat or sleep, and even managed to make his own adopted son act neither like an alpha nor an omega. And then there's him, too... Si Heng: Everyone has a secret except me, because I'm just an unapologetic alpha who lives off other people's money! [Reader's Guide and Content Warnings] 1. The heroine falls for someone new at every turn, and each one is the person she loves most at that moment. Her moral compass fluctuates wildly. She's a clueless heartbreaker who attracts everyone's attention. If that's not your thing, read with caution. 2. In this setting, all female alphas are, by authorial fiat, anatomy-free. Theme: Work hard, work hard
