[Quirky, straightforward, sweet and pretty bottom × chaste ghost top who has hidden gloomy, unhinged tendencies and has been devoted for nine hundred years]
When Ruan Xinyuan was three, he developed a delusion. After his fortune-telling grandma saved him from the gates of death, she told him he had to find a man to marry before turning eighteen, or he would die.
The man also had to meet three conditions:
1. Be born on the first day of the first lunar month, just like Ruan Xinyuan.
2. Be ten years older than Ruan Xinyuan.
3. Have a mole in the center of the back of his neck.
As a committed materialist, Ruan Xinyuan didn’t believe for a second that he could drop dead for no reason while perfectly healthy just because he didn’t get married!
Besides, what were the odds of finding someone who met all three conditions?
*
Half a month into his first year of college, Ruan Xinyuan filled in for his best friend at a neighboring university by attending a class in his place. The moment the man at the front of the lecture hall turned around to write his name on the board, Ruan Xinyuan spotted a mole right in the center of the back of his neck.
Ruan Xinyuan frantically searched B University’s official website and forums to find out who the man was.
Qi Xun, a renowned young and handsome associate professor in B University’s history department. Most importantly:
1. He was born on the first day of the lunar new year, just like Ruan Xinyuan.
2. He was exactly ten years older.
3. He had a mole right in the center of the back of his neck.
Ruan Xinyuan was stunned. But as a committed materialist, he absolutely
On the fifth day that his heart had been suffering inexplicable sharp pains with no identifiable cause,
“Terrified of dying,” Ruan Xinyuan showed up with ninety-nine roses and proposed to Qi Xun, the famous figure at B University.
Ruan Xinyuan shamelessly lied: “Professor Qi, I’ve actually had a crush on you for ages. Could you please, since I’m being so sincere, skip the dating part and marry me right away?”
Ruan Xinyuan had already prepared himself for a long campaign.
One second later, Qi Xun replied calmly, “All right.”
*
Two months after Ruan Xinyuan and Qi Xun got married, Ruan Xinyuan began to feel that something about his husband wasn’t quite right.
For instance, Qi Xun sometimes had an appetite far beyond what was normal. Other times, he could go a whole day and night without eating and never feel hungry.
Also, Ruan Xinyuan noticed that when Qi Xun accidentally cut his finger, it healed in less than ten seconds.
And then there was the fact that, after hearing his grandmother’s advice for treating his condition, Ruan Xinyuan began gradually seducing Qi Xun so they could make up for the wedding night they had missed.
Exhausted and aching all over, Ruan Xinyuan felt Qi Xun kissing his forehead, eyes, nose, and lips as he drifted in and out of sleep...
Then Qi Xun murmured in a hoarse, lovestruck voice
“This is the nine hundred and thirty-seventh year since I died. I’ve finally found you.”
Ruan Xinyuan, not quite such a committed materialist after all, realized something.
His husband might not be human. He might be a ghost.
Ruan Xinyuan × Qi Xun
Reader advisory
1. Older top. They are each other’s one and only, body and soul. There is a ten-year age gap in the modern setting, but in reality they are over nine hundred years apart. The bottom attends a neighboring university from the top. They have no academic interactions, only a romantic relationship. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.
2. The top is a real ghost who has lived for hundreds of years. The ending is emphatically HE, so please rest assured.
3. There are many wildly unscientific fictional details. If you’re sick, see a doctor. Don’t believe in superstition or take misguided shortcuts! This story is all about romance. I’ll add more if anything else comes to mind.
[My next novel: The Straight Beta Falls into His Childhood Friend’s Trap. Please add it to your reading list]
Ji Yanchi had amnesia.
To be precise, he had lost the past year of his memories.
The trouble was, five days before losing his memory, he had started an online relationship with an omega girlfriend.
With no memories of meeting her, flirting with her, or becoming a couple, he had to nervously carry on with this sappy relationship, terrified she would discover the truth.
Just as he started liking this unfamiliar girlfriend and got ready to meet her in person,
his memories returned. There had been no online relationship at all. The omega on the other end didn’t exist!
And there was only one person who knew the passwords to all his electronic devices, including his gaming account
His alpha childhood friend, Lu Congxiao.
Ji Yanchi rushed over to confront Lu Congxiao in a fury, only to have Lu lock an arm around his waist.
Desire surged in Lu Congxiao’s gaze, like a tidal wave about to swallow him whole. What Lu said next was even more unfamiliar:
“Ji Yanchi, I like you. I’ve liked you for seven whole years.”
“Not the kind of like where I want to be your best friend forever. I want to fuck you.”
Ji Yanchi, a beta who had been straight for over twenty years, was shaken to the core and ran away.
*
The year Lu Congxiao’s parents died, when he was fourteen and went to live with Ji Yanchi’s family, he acquired a secret.
He had fallen for Ji Yanchi, whose sexual orientation was omega.
After Ji Yanchi told him he wanted to start dating, then unexpectedly lost his memory, Lu Congxiao had fabricated a false reality out of jealousy.
Lu Congxiao had long been prepared for the truth to come out. He had planned to lock Ji Yanchi in a windowless house in the wilderness and surgically replace his glands, making him Lu Congxiao’s omega for good.
On the afternoon he left the library, just before he was supposed to carry out his plan, Ji Yanchi, who had been avoiding him ever since the confession, showed up in the pouring rain with an umbrella. His handsome face was cold.
“The forecast said it would pour today. You still didn’t bring an umbrella. If you get soaked and end up in the hospital with a fever, who are you going to inconvenience this time? You can keep it.”
Lu Congxiao watched in silence as Ji Yanchi’s slender figure disappeared into the rain.
That night, he burned his “plan” to ashes.
*
One day after they got together, Ji Yanchi accidentally discovered Lu Congxiao’s greatest secret.
The filthy, dark diary was filled with Lu Congxiao’s shameful, obsessive thoughts, packed tightly together on every page.
Lu Congxiao waited to be judged, prepared for Ji Yanchi to be disgusted and leave him.
But Ji Yanchi merely stared at the diary for a long time before saying, “You can do all those things you wrote about doing to me.”
Lu Congxiao’s voice trembled. “Even the really bad things?”
Ji Yanchi looked at him sincerely. “I know you’re a good person. You’d never hurt me, so I’m okay with all of it.”
Ji Yanchi × Lu Congxiao

[The novel after next: Buddy, Stop Sucking. Please add it to your reading list]
Has-been idol Yu Zhiyi has a rare condition known in psychology as “Queen of the Daughters’ Kingdom Syndrome.”
He has to find his own personal “Tang Monk’s flesh” and soothe his condition by sucking and licking their skin.
Just as Yu Zhiyi was at a loss over finding his “Tang Monk’s flesh,” and his condition had worsened to the point of insomnia, his manager got him onto a short-drama actor audition variety show, Best Supporting Actor.
One of the show’s mentors was the famous three-time Golden Award-winning actor Yan Fu, renowned as the film industry’s strictest acting coach, “Strict Dad.”
Yu Zhiyi was an excellent singer and dancer, but a spectacularly bad actor. Yan Fu, who was always very strict with actors, was just about to give him a scathing review when he noticed that the person onstage was staring at him, licking his lips and swallowing.
Yan Fu stopped mid-criticism and frowned despite himself. “Do you have chapped lips? Or have you not eaten?”
Yu Zhiyi nodded with a cold expression, still swallowing repeatedly.
*
After the first round of filming, Yu Zhiyi worked up the courage to knock on the door of Yan Fu’s dressing room.
Yan Fu was a little pleased to see him. He assumed Yu Zhiyi had come to ask for acting advice, something he was always happy to share.
The room fell silent for three seconds.
Yu Zhiyi, his face burning red, bowed. “Teacher Yan, could I suck on your flesh once? Just once.”
Yan Fu: ?
Yan Fu: “First of all, I don’t sleep with people to give them special treatment.”
Yan Fu: “Second, I’m straight.”
Yan Fu: “Wait, where do you want to suck?”
*
To be honest, Yan Fu had never met anyone who had asked him for special treatment so directly.
But Yu Zhiyi begged him, saying he’d serve Yan Fu hand and foot if he could just suck him a few times. Yan Fu looked at his handsome, cool face, now flushed with embarrassment, and inexplicably agreed without asking for anything in return. He let Yu Zhiyi keep sucking him until the final episode of the show.
Yu Zhiyi sucked his hands, arms, neck, ears, and even every part of his face except his mouth.
Then he got Yan Fu hard.
Great. Yan Fu faced the fact that his sexual orientation had turned into a spring-shaped mosquito coil and got ready to confess.
But Yu Zhiyi said he’d had enough and ran away.
*
Thanks to Yu Zhiyi and Yan Fu’s interactions on Best Supporting Actor and the short film they made together for the finale, they attracted a huge CP fanbase, all clamoring for them to work together again.
Just then, Yu Zhiyi received an invitation to a new travel variety show, Celebrity Holiday Escape Plan.
He didn’t find out until the first day of filming that one of the other guests was his Tang Monk’s flesh, Yan Fu!
To show his gratitude, Yu Zhiyi decided to serve Yan Fu hand and foot during the trip.
But Yan Fu didn’t let him do anything. Instead, when Yu Zhiyi got hot, Yan Fu fanned him; when he got hungry, Yan Fu cooked for him; when he got sleepy, Yan Fu let him use his lap as a pillow...
Yu Zhiyi didn’t understand, but he noticed that his Queen of the Daughters’ Kingdom Syndrome seemed to be coming back. The longer the trip went on, the worse it got.
One day, Yan Fu saw Yu Zhiyi licking his lips and swallowing as he looked at him for the first time in ages.
He pulled Yu Zhiyi into a field of rapeseed flowers and asked, “Want to suck me?”
Yu Zhiyi nodded.
Yan Fu’s lips curled. “Then be my wife, and I’ll let you suck me until the end of time. How about that?”
Yu Zhiyi’s brain couldn’t keep up. “But Teacher Yan, I’m straight.”
Yan Fu laughed in exasperation. “Then I’ll be your wife and let you suck me anyway. How about that?”
Yan Fu × Yu Zhiyi
Wealthy, secretly flirtatious actor who wins himself over × cool, slow-to-warm, pretty idol who excels at singing and dancing
