Love Through Illness

Lin Le's biggest regret in life was saving 17-year-old Chu Ji by the river. He regretted even more pretending to date Chu Ji at 24 so he could swindle money to pay off his debts. If he had never met Chu Ji, then no matter how hard and exhausting life got, at least he would still be free. He could get married, have children, and live an ordinary life. But now, he was doomed to be bound to a man forever. One day, he couldn't take it anymore. He told the truth and tried to break up. Chu Ji didn't scold him. He forcefully pinned him in his arms and murmured, "You can never leave me..." After that, Lin Le could no longer bring himself to say the words "let's break up." All he could do was sob uncontrollably until he passed out. * Chu Ji often wondered what the point of his existence was. It wasn't until he met Lin Le that he discovered the joys of life. Lin Le couldn't be a sun that shone on everyone. He could only be Chu Ji's private bedside lamp, kept in his bedroom. To that end, Chu Ji carefully planned everything, determined to control Lin Le's life completely. But when he offered up his sincere heart, it was trampled into pieces like garbage. The one responsible even sneered, "Scum like you only agree to keep someone company if they pay you. Stop fantasizing about true love." So it had all been one-sided. Even if they both ended up destroyed, he couldn't turn back now... Reader's Guide 1. A straight delinquent who can't even swindle money properly as the bottom x a gloomy, controlling, affection-starved older top 2. A ridiculously melodramatic dumpster fire. Two lunatics fall in love, and everything gets twisted and explosive. ---- Coming Soon: The Unlucky Widower Keeps Getting Time-Stopped ---- Lu Zhiyu is jealous and vain. After graduating from college, he married a man for money. The man was a sickly invalid in a wheelchair, and all Lu Zhiyu had to do was wait for him to die so he could inherit a fortune. But after his husband died, Lu Zhiyu discovered the idiot was drowning in debt. On the day of the funeral, the creditors filled the hall. They were all handsome, impeccably dressed men of distinction. Lu Zhiyu gazed at these powerful men in despair. Luckily, the next day he got a golden finger. [Ding! The Widower System is now online!] [Every Friday, a man will enter the Host's bedroom.] [During this time, the Host will fall unconscious and be unable to move, but will remain aware.] [The next day, if the Host identifies the man who entered the bedroom, he can seize 50% of that man's resources.] At first, Lu Zhiyu suspected his late husband's younger brother, because the little brat called him "sister-in-law" but was always trying to move into his room. Later, he suspected his late husband's former boss, who seemed cold and abstinent in public but secretly collected his clothes. Then he suspected his late husband's classmate, who kept using the excuse of looking after his friend's wife to stay at the house and never leave. Finally, Lu Zhiyu realized that everyone around him was suspicious. It seemed they had all been in his room. But who was it? * A lot of men have secret crushes on Lu Zhiyu, but he's hot-tempered, petty, and straight. Luckily, all these men have gained the ability to stop time. Every Friday, one of them gets to use his ability on Lu Zhiyu. But if Lu Zhiyu catches him, he loses his time-stopping ability, so the men are doing everything they can to keep their identities hidden. Who will get caught first? ---- Coming Soon: After I Dumped the Miaojiang Boy ---- Gu Jin was fed up with his two ex-boyfriends arguing, so he went on a road trip in the southwest and accidentally wandered into a Miao village. At the banquet, his friends were all enchanted by the Miao girls, but he spotted the young man standing behind the crowd at a glance. Xu Liao'an wore simple black clothes and silver ornaments around his neck. His eyes were deep as black jade, captivating beyond compare. One look was all it took for Gu Jin to feel like he was burning up. He was determined to make this kid his. Xu Liao'an was only 18, while Gu Jin was already a 26-year-old playboy. It took him just one month to lure the boy into his bedroom, where he planned to have his way with him. Who could have guessed that the kid might be young, but he was strong enough to leave Gu Jin unable to get out of bed for days? Gu Jin had wanted to get angry, but the Miaojiang boy had a certain charm, so he decided to let it slide. Six months later, Gu Jin was bored. Before leaving, he cautiously asked, "Can you cast a love spell? Like a love curse or something?" Xu Liao'an put an arm around him and said softly, "Brother Jin, it's the 21st century. Nobody knows how to cast spells anymore." Gu Jin left with his mind at ease. ** One day, Gu Jin was at a club, paying male models to entertain him, when he caught sight of a young man standing by the entrance. The boy called out crisply, "Brother Jin." Ridiculous. Who wants an old flame when there's a new one? Gu Jin ignored Xu Liao'an and even had security throw him out. But a few days later, Gu Jin woke up lying in an unfamiliar room, his whole body limp and unable to move. Xu Liao'an stood in the shadows, watching him with a resentful look, like an evil spirit. Gu Jin couldn't tell night from day, or even how much time was passing. His senses were in chaos, and his mind was hazy. He felt like a piece of equipment on the verge of breaking down, close to the brink. Xu Liao'an leaned close to his ear and said excitedly, "The old insect witch in the village said I was born lacking water. Now that I have Brother Jin, I don't have to worry anymore. I'm going to stay here with you forever." Gu Jin sobbed uncontrollably, trembling as he cried, "Please, let me go. I'll pay you as much as you want. Don't, don't..."
