After the Ox Became a Widower's Husband

Years ago, war ravaged the Great Canal region, and the men of every household went off to battle.

Well, that had little to do with Qimu nowadays. He was a bull, and had even been entered in the family register.

On the day Qimu was added to the family register, every village in Weishui County brought along its cows to "buy" his superior "seed."

He looked at dozens of little cows wearing red flowers and brought over to meet him, and at their owners gazing eagerly at a certain part of his body, wishing they could take his place themselves.

Qimu: "…"

Then, in the blink of an eye, a little husband wearing a red bridal pom-pom appeared among the cows.

The little husband smiled like a flower, pressing his lips together as he watched Qimu's predicament.

"Qimu, which one do you like? Everyone's waiting to see you show what you're made of today. You'd better bring out that strength that let you plow seven mu in one night."

Qimu rolled his eyes at the sky. "…"

I like you. What do you say?

When Yun Yao was ten, he forgot to bring money and was detained by the owner of a sweet soup shop. Luckily, a boy as beautiful as the moon happened to pass by and generously paid for twenty bowls of red bean soup.

He said he was going to the Western Frontier battlefield. He told Yun Yao to come to the sweet soup shop once a month, and when the twenty bowls of red bean soup were finished, he would be back.

But he broke his promise.

Having once touched the moon, how could Yun Yao settle for the earth below? He would pick up every scrap of moonlight, hoping that one day he could piece together a real moon.

Thankfully, in the end, he got his moon back.

Title: Winning Over Dad's Best Friend

In his third year of college, Qin Cuo discovers that he's the son of the person forced into submission in some trashy novel.

And the one forcing him is Yan Tuo, his dad's best friend!!

Qin Cuo's dad married young, and he and Qin Cuo's mom have been passionately in love for ten years. There's no way his dad would start taking a "wrong turn" in middle age, and Qin Cuo has no intention of suffering through his parents' divorce.

If murder weren't illegal, Qin Cuo would have strangled Yan Tuo, that menace, long ago.

*

But all Qin Cuo can do is act sweet and obedient, biding his time by Yan Tuo's side as he tries every way he can to break Yan Tuo's obsession with his father.

But in the process, he somehow stops caring about Yan Tuo's twisted feelings, and even starts to think he might as well make a brave sacrifice.

After all, Yan Tuo is a gorgeous specimen of the mature-man type: handsome, rich, refined, and courteous. His only flaw is his bad taste in men. He fell for Qin Cuo's dad.

At first, Qin Cuo eagerly asks, "Uncle Yan, don't you think my eyes look a lot like my dad's?"

Next, he coaxes him along: "Uncle Yan, take a good look. There are actually lots of ways I'm like my dad."

In the end, he puts everything on the line: "So, how about letting the son repay the father's debt?"

No choice. He has to turn the tables: "Try me..."

*

Yan Tuo is like a shield: impossible to break through or see past.

So even when the little brat he dislikes most bounces right up to him, he still puts on a kind uncle's face and indulges, gives in to, and spoils him.

After wearing that kind-uncle face for so long in public, even his catchphrase becomes, "He's still just a kid."

Maybe he said it so often that he forgot to stay on guard.

In any case, he fell for it!
