My Years as an Emotional Counselor in the World of Jujutsu

[Recommending my upcoming novel, "The Pretty Little Tease Hooks Her Junior's Daddy"]: A domineering old-school daddy x a flirtatious little tease. Please, please add it to your collection! (Falls to her knees!!!) Domineering old-school daddy gong x flirtatious little tease shou Lin Zhao has been pursued for three months by a junior from the art department next door. The junior comes from a wealthy family and is sweet and well-behaved, but sadly, he's not Lin Zhao's type at all. Determined to settle the matter face-to-face once and for all, Lin Zhao accepts the junior's invitation to dinner at his house. Beneath the crystal chandelier, the head of the Huo family crosses his long legs as he reads documents. A slight lift of his gaze from behind his gold-rimmed glasses is enough to make Lin Zhao's knees go weak. This man is exactly Lin Zhao's type, from head to toe. The junior blushes on the sofa opposite and asks Lin Zhao if he wants to date him. While asking the junior to pour him some water, Lin Zhao instead turns to Huo Mingzheng with a beaming smile: "Uncle, what do you think about your son liking men?" That night, Lin Zhao brazenly corners the man on the terrace, his alluring eyes hazy with a trace of alcohol: "Mr. Huo, teach me... how to turn down a kid?" Huo Mingzheng prides himself on being composed and self-controlled, yet a spoiled little fox manages to drag him into trouble. The little fox sits barefoot on his knee, eating cherries. Their juice spitefully stains his freshly pressed suit, yet he insists on leaning close to ask if they're sweet. Pinned to a sandalwood desk for a scolding, the corners of his eyes reddened, he still manages to smile: "Your heart's beating so fast." "If you'd just run five kilometers, your heart would be beating fast too," Huo Mingzheng says calmly, acknowledging it without a hint of embarrassment. "Besides, you don't need to hook your foot around my calf. I'm asexual." Lin Zhao has never been very patient. Pursuing someone is just a whim for him. As time passes and he sees no progress, those words only make him lose interest. On top of that, Lin Zhao's first love has recently returned to the country, stirring up memories of his youth and leaving him somewhat troubled. His first love asks to meet several times, making it clear that he wants to get back together. Lin Zhao feels conflicted, and his interest in Huo Mingzheng fades. He rarely shows up in front of him anymore, amusing himself by teasing the junior whenever he has nothing better to do. Until, at a Huo family banquet, the junior gets down on one knee with a diamond ring. Lin Zhao realizes he's taken things too far and prepares to turn him down gracefully with a smile. Then he spots his first love at the elders' table, raising an eyebrow at him with an amused smile. Lin Zhao twitches his lips, thinking that this world is one strange Huo family village. In his fluster, Lin Zhao stumbles a few steps and falls into Huo Mingzheng's arms. Behind him, a wineglass shatters. The man clamps a hand around his waist. Amid the uproar, he says hoarsely: "Lin Zhao, just try saying yes." [Bonus scene] On a stormy night, the junior stands outside with an umbrella and rings the doorbell. Huo Mingzheng slowly strokes the corner of Lin Zhao's lips. "Let him wait." Lin Zhao bites his Adam's apple and chuckles: "Uncle, your son is going to cry." Their entwined figures are reflected in the entryway mirror as the doorbell rings hoarsely over the sound of the rain. Huo Mingzheng grips the back of Lin Zhao's neck and pins him against the door. A bead of blood wells from Lin Zhao's bitten lip. "So who's the one who's supposed to be crying now?" [Recommending my other ongoing novel, "The Vicious Fake Young Master, But a Pretty Irresistible Heartthrob." Please add it to your collection!] Plot-focused blurb for this novel: "About How the Strongest Emotional Counselor in the Jujutsu World Is Always Forced to Work" Before the notorious evil onmyoji Ashiya Doman could curse Kyoto, someone forcibly dragged him away and dumped him in Bunkyo a thousand years in the future. With his memories blank, Kobayashi Akio thinks this world is completely absurd: His classmate with the weird bangs seems calm and gentle, but is actually full of plans to kill monkeys. The white-haired delinquent is ridiculously powerful, yet insists on following a moral compass. The brats have absent fathers and mothers, but act as worldly as adults. Curses take forms that insult his eyes, and the infighting among the Three Great Families is like a low-budget palace drama. For some inexplicable reason, Akio is highly sensitive to emotions and gets forced into working as a relationship counselor. Sure enough, this gloomy shonen manga drives him up the wall. Just destroy it all, Akio thinks. So he waves a hand and runs off with the white-haired scumbag and Geto in tow. They beat up the rotten old men all the way, bombard the jujutsu world, and finally deliver an important speech on whether the brain in a jar would be better steamed or braised. Looking at the higher-ups of the council tied up like dumplings, Yaga feels awe toward the transfer student for the first time. "You call this psychological counseling?" Akio: "It's end-of-life care." Blurb with arrows flying in every direction: When his memories return with the curses, the strongest relationship guru finally flips the table: "Is it possible that I'm an evil onmyoji, not some wise, nurturing daddy?" No, it isn't. Noritoshi, who's been perfectly obedient by his side for years, reverently kisses his eyelashes and confesses his love. While tying up the quiet, taciturn hedgehog's hair, the other man suddenly says, "You smell like a mom." He helps Geto manage his curse balls, only for Shoko to suspect the two of them are carrying on an illicit affair in the infirmary. The Curse King's sharp nails mercilessly cut into his skin, as the reek of blood mingles with tears. Finally, back in Heian-kyo, his long-vanished nemesis hooks a finger around his ankle and smiles faintly: "Well, well. Found you, Doman." Akio: "Thanks, but I don't want overtime." Afterword: "So you solve psychological problems by making out?" Shoko asks with interest, cigarette between her lips as she writes up the medical records. Akio lowers his gaze to the marks on his collar: "...It's a workplace injury." #818 That emotional guru who kills curses with his face #The humanoid curse-baiting machine is stuck in a forced love triangle again today #How the ancestor of Heian-kyo uses his beauty to whip the jujutsu world into shape Reader's guide: 1. A slightly ensemble-cast feel, with the hope of easing a few regrets. The story mixes in all kinds of onmyoji lore from history and literature. The setting serves the plot, so please don't read if you care about historical accuracy. The author's headcanon is everywhere. Please don't offer writing advice, and don't tell me if you drop the story. 2. The protagonist transmigrates from ancient times to the present. He is the amnesiac Ashiya Doman, known as Kobayashi Akio early on. He's a heartthrob, a cold-faced, short-tempered daddy raising kids, with a fatal, flirtatious charm he's completely unaware of. 3. The main plot comes first, with romantic tension on the side. Emotional intimacy and physical intimacy can't compete with a chaotic love triangle. This isn't a choose-your-love-interest story. The ending will probably have separate routes, and the main story's endgame couple is the King.

With a whole plan for saving everyone, Geto packs his bags, ready to go back to his high school days. This time, he'll defect earlier, protect his family, deal with the brain, eliminate the Four Calamities, stop the King of Curses from coming into the world, and... And make sure Gojo's life is bright and smooth from beginning to end. With these thoughts in mind, Geto closes his eyes and jumps. He lands just a little farther back in time than he expected. He's returned to Gojo's childhood. Looking at his best friend, a snow-white little ball of fluff, Geto's heart overflows with love. The next second, the young divine child glances at him and says coldly, "What are you looking at?" Geto: ... Gojo's personality as a child is completely different from how he is in high school. Objectively speaking, he's sharp, arrogant, cold, and cutting. Geto sighs helplessly and steps in front of him to deal with the assassins. He's just a kid, after all. But sometimes, he's a real headache. The young divine child sees right through everything. Geto looks into those clear, pure, sky-blue eyes, free of the slightest trace of dust, and hears him speak: "You want to kill them, don't you?" "You don't intend to stay with me for long, do you, Suguru?" "I don't understand what makes him better than me, that you keep looking through my eyes, trying to see someone else's shadow." "I'll lock you up. I mean it." The young Six Eyes sees through everything and disregards everything, like a god who has wandered into the mortal world by mistake. But there's one thing he can never understand: the man who suddenly appears by his side, always as gentle as the wind in late spring. Geto is someone who should never have been in the Gojo family. He's more compassionate than a god. But Gojo can tell that Geto isn't happy. Not happy at all. Gojo can see that Geto didn't come for his sake. Or rather, he didn't come for his sake alone. The young divine child doesn't understand love, or how to make sacrifices and let go. He's a little unhappy, too. So he has to catch Geto and hide him away.
