My new novel, *A Guide to Raising Nonhuman Beauties*, is currently being serialized! Head straight to my author page for updates. Blurb: Gentle, flirtatious beauty x obsessive, bashful clingy guy Gorgeous Beta x pitiful Alpha Lu Wenlin suffers from severe insomnia. By accident, he transmigrates into an ABO novel about a wealthy family’s real and fake young masters, becoming a vicious Beta side character who loves the fake young master but can’t have him, then turns evil out of rage. To get the protagonist’s attention, he keeps doing reckless things, even signing a marriage contract with the real young master. In the end, his despicable schemes get him killed on the street. Lu Wenlin: ? What are these A’s and O’s? I don’t understand. I just want to sleep. The System says ominously: Win over the real young master, and you’ll earn more sleep. Lu Wenlin: ! He immediately takes the cold-faced real Alpha young master’s hand and earnestly says, “Darling, let’s get married.” …That night, he really does sleep soundly, while the bewildered Alpha beside him tosses and turns until dawn. After that, Lu Wenlin, who used to be devoted to the fake young master, suddenly changes after signing a marriage contract with the real one. He wants to spend every hour of every day glued to his fiancé. Everyone is shocked, and even the fake young master can’t help testing him. Lu Wenlin smiles and clarifies, “I haven’t fallen for someone else. I never loved him.” Then he turns to the person beside him and says helplessly, “Stop crying. You’ve always been the only one in my heart.” #Everyone shut up. Don’t scare off my human-shaped sleeping pill. * For more than a decade, Ning Zhao drifted through life in a daze. At last, he got into college and thought he could escape, only to learn that he was the real young master who had been switched at birth. But his birth parents had no bond with him, and the fake young master who’d taken his place acted like he owned the house. Ning Zhao could put up with all of that, but now they wanted him to marry a Beta he didn’t even know. At their first meeting, the beautiful Beta gazed at him for a long time. He had a faint, delicate scent and a pair of smiling eyes that seemed to promise affection. Ning Zhao frowned, but his heart beat a little faster. For a long time, Ning Zhao believed there was no place in the world where he belonged. Then one day, a Beta appeared beside his pillow. The Beta cleared up rumors about him, helped him strike back against the fake young master’s schemes, supported his career, cared about the old wounds that had never healed, and eased his heat, letting him bite the back of his neck until it was red. Ning Zhao knew he shouldn’t, but he couldn’t stop himself from falling for the Beta. He wanted to shut out every covetous gaze directed at him, cover the Beta in his pheromones, and make every other Alpha back off. In the end, he became the rightful heir to the Ning family. His greatest wish was for his beloved never to look at anyone else. The other man poked his cheek and sighed. “I’m not going to leave you, so stop installing so many security cameras around the house.” Still, he let the Alpha hold him tight. #Not sure if this counts as a bonus scene Lu Wenlin had only just figured out the gender categories in the ABO world, and was relieved to be an ordinary Beta. But then he sniffed. “That’s strange. How can I smell you?” Ning Zhao felt ticklish from his breath. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he placed both hands on Lu Wenlin’s waist. …Only later did Lu Wenlin find out that he was a special kind of Beta: after being marked by an Alpha, he could release faux pheromones and develop a reproductive cavity. Notes: 1. The younger partner stays the younger partner. No switching roles. 2. The couple are each other’s one and only, body and soul, and a perfect match. If you’re particular about this, please don’t read. By reading, you agree to this condition. 3. ABO setting, but no children. There will be a false pregnancy extra. Upcoming novel: *The Useless Senior Brother Picks Up the Young Demon Lord* Easygoing, carefree beauty of a senior brother x gloomy, twisted junior brother who’s a demon lord Wen Zhengqing opens his eyes to find himself transmigrated into a useless senior brother in an unfinished novel. The senior brother comes from a prestigious family, inherited the phoenix bone, and was exceptionally accepted as the Immortal Venerable’s first disciple. He has every advantage imaginable, and everyone has high hopes for him. Magical treasures and precious artifacts are given to him as if they cost nothing. He should have been a heaven-blessed prodigy, but someone deliberately planted a demonic seed inside him to devour his cultivation, turning him into a useless cultivator who never lived up to his potential. According to the original plot, Wen Zhengqing will be denounced by everyone at the Immortal Alliance tournament, have his bones ripped out to strengthen the seal on the Demon Realm, and end up completely crippled. Wen Zhengqing, who knows how his story ends: ? He eats and plays as he pleases, planning to make a run for it when the time comes. Every day, he goes up the mountain to hunt birds, fishes in the river, and sometimes visits the market to buy little trinkets to cheer up his junior brothers and sisters. His third junior sister leaves happily, holding an ancient book. “Thank you, Senior Brother.” His fifth junior brother leaves with a grin, carrying a book of illustrations. “Thank you, Senior Brother.” Only the little junior brother he picked up himself keeps a stiff expression. “Thank you for the offer, Senior Brother, but cultivation is more important. I don’t need anything.” Wen Zhengqing remembers the sect’s midterm exam two days ago. He came in last, and the person in front of him is the second-to-last. “…” The kid is solitary, taciturn, and stubborn as a mule. He clearly wants to be with everyone, yet every time, he silently hugs his sword and leaves alone. Wen Zhengqing watches him go, inexplicably feeling they have something in common. He considers taking the equally useless junior brother along when the Demon Realm seal is about to break and the cultivation world falls into turmoil. But only a couple of days later, he spots a petal-shaped birthmark on the junior brother’s shoulder. Wait? Isn’t that the mark of the future Demon Lord? - Ying Xingming has been alone and miserable since childhood. With half-demon blood in his veins, he’s never known whether his next meal will come. After his senior brother brings him back to the sect, he secretly vows to hide his identity, work hard at cultivation, and become a cultivator who helps the poor and saves the world. But demonic energy keeps obstructing his cultivation, and Ying Xingming doesn’t dare ask anyone for help. Once, while traveling, he becomes trapped in an illusion and is on the verge of death. Only then does he understand that fate cannot be defied, and someone like him may never get a happy ending. As his consciousness fades, someone who shouldn’t be there appears before him. The usually irresponsible senior brother is unusually serious. “Ying Xingming, repeat the incantation after me.” I’m about to die anyway, Ying Xingming thinks. Might as well be an illusion. He struggles to his feet, pins the man beneath him, and kisses him while the other stares in surprise. …At least he got what he wanted. But when he opens his eyes again, he finds himself lying in his senior brother’s bed. He turns his head, and his senior brother smiles at him. “You’re awake?” Ying Xingming: “!” #Bonus scene The demonic energy leaking from Ying Xingming is just enough to feed the demonic seed inside Wen Zhengqing, finally allowing his cultivation to advance. The Immortal Alliance tournament is approaching, and many sects have sent Wen Zhengqing challenges. His junior brothers and sisters are worried sick, bringing him every magical artifact they’ve saved up. Their faces practically say, “It’s okay, it’s okay. You can give up if you need to.” “I can handle it. Don’t worry.” Wen Zhengqing reassures his junior brothers and sisters, then turns to Ying Xingming and whispers, “Junior Brother, lend me some spiritual energy. Come to my room tonight.” Ying Xingming’s ears turn red. He nods, his face expressionless. #Sorry, I got the heaven-blessed prodigy script #So what if he’s a young demon lord? I’m going to tease him Theme: Get a good night’s sleep and live a healthy life
