A Silly Puppy’s Quest to Win His Husband

[Completed, Sickly and Gentle Long-Haired Top x Flustered, Simple Little Sunshine Bottom]

Nan Yi has loved an author called Snail Climbs a Tree ever since he was a child.

So when Yan Chen appeared under that pen name, Nan Yi rushed up to him without a second thought.

Yan Chen was admitted to University A through a recommendation, so Nan Yi hired himself a tutor. He was going to get into University A, too.

His tutor was called Yan Fuyu, a ridiculously handsome guy who was frivolous and outrageously lazy, or so he claimed.

After a monthly exam, Nan Yi scored a remarkable 16 points on his essay. Yan Fuyu grabbed the paper and laughed so hard he could barely sit still.

"The essay is worth 60 points. Getting 16 is another kind of perfect score."

Nan Yi snatched the paper back, red-faced with anger. "You're the worst! I'm docking your pay!"

To him, Yan Fuyu was the most annoying person in the world. He was so lazy, yet he was always trying to boss Nan Yi around.

After the college entrance exam, Nan Yi could finally get away from Yan Fuyu. In high spirits, he waved around a book by Snail Climbs a Tree.

"I'm going to confess my feelings!"

Yan Fuyu covered the needle marks on the back of his hand and smiled faintly. "Sure. Good luck."

But when Nan Yi went to find Yan Chen, his heart full of excitement, he heard a piece of devastating news from him!

Nan Yi froze on the spot.

Yan Fuyu wouldn't answer his calls, so Nan Yi begged his family to use their connections to find him at the hospital.

There he saw someone in a hospital gown, waiting alone for surgery.

Yan Fuyu had lived for twenty years as the young master of the Yan family before learning that he was nobody's son.

He left home with nothing, and was then diagnosed with stomach cancer.

It seemed Heaven had never favored him. He didn't care, either. He just wanted to find a good place to be buried, and hoped he might have better luck in his next life.

So he took a well-paid tutoring job to earn some money for his funeral.

Instead, he met Nan Yi, a bright and simple little fool who had even mistaken him for someone else.

At the time, Yan Fuyu had sincerely wished him all the best.

But when Nan Yi ran into his hospital room in tears, he regretted it.

Reading Guide:

The overall tone is sweet, though there are some bittersweet moments. Both leads are inexperienced, one-on-one romance, happy ending, and they dote on each other. They are each other's one true love.

Disclaimer:

1. The main characters only start dating once they are adults, and their tutor-student relationship has ended by then.

2. The one Nan Yi truly likes is the top who spends every day with him. Chasing the supporting male character who took over the top's pen name is just Nan Yi's bluster and an adolescent phase. The protagonist is not perfect.

3. Please don't let chapters pile up. This fragile author needs a little encouragement during serialization. Anti-piracy ratio: 70%.

Pre-release ancient-style romance, Please Show a Killer Some Respect, please add it to your favorites.

[Sickly, Beautiful, Scheming Blind Official Top x Soft-Hearted Killer Pretending to Be Cold Bottom]

Cheng Gui is the strongest assassin in the Star-Picking Pavilion. Countless souls have fallen to his sword, and he has never once failed a mission.

Yet there is always someone on his mind. He doesn't know who that person is, but he has a vague feeling that they are extremely important to him, more important than his own life.

In Cheng Gui's ninth year at the pavilion, he receives an unusual assignment: watch someone, and slit their throat if necessary.

That person is the most feared traitor in the imperial court, the Governor-General of the Pacification Bureau, Xie Lan.

But Xie Lan is a sickly blind man.

Cheng Gui is baffled. He doesn't understand how a blind man could become a high-ranking official, let alone incur a death sentence. But a mission is a mission, so Cheng Gui patiently lies in wait for further orders.

On the first day of surveillance, the blind man handles official business.

On the second day, the blind man handles official business.

On the third day, the blind man takes some people to chop down a minister.

On the fourth day, the blind man is handling official business again...

Cheng Gui never receives the signal to strike. His patience runs out, and he prepares to go back and ask the pavilion to send someone else.

The blind man, who has been sitting inside the room all along, suddenly raises his head and "looks" toward Cheng Gui on the beam. "You've been watching me this whole time, so you must know where I put my personal seal after bathing last night. Could you help me find it?"

Cheng Gui: "..." How did this blind man notice him?

Cheng Gui can't figure it out. To reclaim the dignity of a top-tier assassin, he moves to another beam to hide.

But over the next few days...

"Isn't it tiring up there? Why don't you come down and rest?"

"Have you eaten lunch? You can watch me after you've eaten."

"Are you going to watch me sleep, too? It's hard to sleep when you're staring at me. I get embarrassed."

Cheng Gui: "Shut up! Keep annoying me and I'll kill you right now!"

Xie Lan laughs. "So you're here to kill me. All right, when are you going to do it?"

Cheng Gui: "As soon as I get the order."

Xie Lan says softly, "All right. But when you kill me, could you do it quickly? I'm afraid of pain."

Only later does Cheng Gui learn that the other man recognized his voice on the very first day, but never intended to acknowledge him.

He should have been the last line of defense at Xie Lan's side. But when the Shen family was wiped out that year, Cheng Gui was the only one Xie Lan managed to save.
