Blurb:

Shi Xuqiu found himself a rich man.

His classmates said he had married up.

He laughed. He was so poor he couldn't make a sound, so who wouldn't count as marrying up?

Luckily, he was in luck. He found a wonderful husband who truly loved him and was willing to take care of him every day like a dad.

He fell in love with this cool, refined rich man.

But the good times didn't last. The love story between this cunning West Highland and his owner was soon discovered by Yu Heng's family.

The first real-world obstacle had arrived for this wonderful match between two people from vastly different backgrounds.

Shi Xuqiu, who had been busy marrying up, suddenly lost the ladder he'd been climbing.

He blinked and pondered it all in a jumble.

He couldn't let Yu Heng get kicked out by his family, could he? Wouldn't that mean he'd end up poor too? He pictured Yu Heng living with him in a cramped, dingy basement, the two of them sharing a five-yuan box of gutter-oil bento... No, he really did love Yu Heng. He couldn't bear to see him suffer.

This time, even Yu Heng's grandfather was stirred into action. He sat down in front of Shi Xuqiu and looked at the poor nobody.

“I hear your mother is seriously ill. Her illness can't be treated here in China. I'll send you both to America. Right now, the only research team in the world that can help is there. They can help your mother.”

Shi Xuqiu's eyes widened. “I... I don't have any money.”

“I'll pay.”

“My mother's American visa...”

“I'll arrange visas for your whole family.”

Shi Xuqiu's soul trembled. Knowing full well what the answer would be, he asked, “And the price?”

“I want you to stay there forever and never come back.”

And so Shi Xuqiu went far away to a foreign land.

Then one day, he heard the good news.

“Yu Heng's grandfather, the man who held the power of life and death, has died!”

It was cause for celebration, and Shi Xuqiu packed his bags and boarded a flight back to China.

I wonder if Yu Heng still loves me.

He felt a little scared, and a little excited. He'd heard that Yu Heng was still single.

He wasn't afraid that Yu Heng no longer liked him. He was afraid Yu Heng still resented him for disappearing without a word all those years ago.

And what made his heart flutter was the fact that he'd left without saying goodbye.

What would Yu Heng say when they met again? Hmm, he needed to figure out how to apologize.

Before he could figure anything out, he was caught as soon as he left the airport!

Shi Xuqiu shrank beside Yu Heng, anxiously awaiting his verdict.

“Honey... I love you so much!”

“That goes without saying. Don't expect that excuse to make me let you off.”

Warning: They spend a long time apart before rekindling their relationship.

Coming soon: The Money-Grubber's Great Skiing Adventure (Post-Apocalypse)

Hui Yunshen x Yin Yu: National-level elite poker-faced skier top x national-treasure-level gluttonous, money-grubbing ray of sunshine bottom

An ice age arrives, and the global temperature plunges to minus sixty or seventy degrees. Humanity's last surviving base is short on food and clothing, and on the brink of collapse.

One night, money-grubber Yin Yu transmigrates into a game called The Great Skiing Adventure. With him is Hui Yunshen, the chief commander of a base in the frozen apocalypse.

The Great Skiing Adventure is exactly what it sounds like: flee for your life on skis while a terrifying avalanche chases you. Get buried in the snow and you're dead. Yin Yu played the game as a kid, but only on his phone. In real life, he'd barely even touched a pair of skis, let alone gone skiing.

Luckily, Hui Yunshen used to be a national-level elite skier. Yin Yu entrusted all his hopes of survival to him, determined to follow his every instruction and obey his commander's orders to the death.

But then he spotted money on the ground.

Money was useless in the apocalypse, but Yin Yu was greedy.

How could a money-grubber like him leave gold lying on the ground? He picked it up as he ran, and even leaned over Hui Yunshen's skis to scoop it up without looking back. Hui Yunshen gave him a long, furious scolding, but Yin Yu ignored him completely, filling one sack and then starting on another.

He kept picking up gold until dawn broke in the east and even the avalanche had stopped. He jumped off the skis, carrying two sacks of coins.

A resplendent store appeared before them. A huge sign at the entrance read: “Coin Exchange Supermarket.”

As the name suggested, the Coin Exchange Supermarket traded coins for anything. Hui Yunshen thought of the base, where people lacked both food and clothing. His eyes gleamed shrewdly as he asked the supermarket clerk, “Can we really exchange coins for anything?”

“Of course.”

“Can we get steamed buns?”

“How many do you need?”

Without hesitation, Hui Yunshen ignored Yin Yu's protests and yanked the two sacks of coins off his shoulders. “All of them. Exchange every last coin for steamed buns.”

Yin Yu heard that and jumped up, shrieking, “Aaaah, you jerk of a commander! My money! My money!!”

Their first dream trip into the game, where they picked up money and traded it for a week's worth of staple food for the base, was followed by a long wait for the next one.

With food running low again, the two sat together with worried expressions, reviewing what had happened that day to trigger The Great Skiing Adventure. After much deliberation, they realized nothing had been different from usual except for one thing: the two of them, who usually slept alone, had been drinking and ended up in the same bed.

Yin Yu: “Could that be why?”

Never mind. Practice is the only test of truth. The two of them immediately put the theory to the test, lying in the same bed fully clothed that night.

The moment they closed their eyes, they entered the dream!

Hehehe! Yin Yu stood with his hands on his hips on Hui Yunshen's skis, beaming with delight. “Poker Face, looks like we'll have to sleep together every night from now on!”

Hui Yunshen's ears turned an almost imperceptible red. He freed one hand to cover Yin Yu's mouth.

His voice was ice-cold. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Yin Yu huffed and tried to push Hui Yunshen's hand away. Then he glanced at it and noticed writing on Hui Yunshen's palm.

He read it aloud: “Mission Instructions: Complete challenges as a duo to earn mission coins. The details are... Carry each other in a bridal carry through a cabin! Hold hands as you cross a cave! Kiss while skiing across ten clouds... What kind of ridiculous challenges are these?”

Thanks to the two of them working hard at night, the base soon had plenty of food.

The others at the base noticed that while everyone's meals were fixed, Commander Hui Yunshen often let Yin Yu have extra. They also saw Yin Yu sneakily knock on the commander's door in the middle of the night, and the door would always open for him.

“Yin Yu must have seduced the commander first!”

“It's great to have power and money. Even a handsome guy like Yin Yu is eager to throw himself at him...”

The rumors were all over the place, but everyone seemed to agree that Yin Yu had made the first move. The commander's poker face didn't look like someone who would ever take the initiative.

That is, until a mutual friend of theirs heard the rumors and asked in astonishment, “Are you two together?”

Yin Yu: “? No.”

Hui Yunshen: “...Not yet.”

Yin Yu: “?”

Their friend stared at Hui Yunshen in disbelief. “Commander, what do you mean, ‘not yet’?”

Hui Yunshen's face tightened. “I haven't confessed yet.”

…

The biggest downside of needing to sleep in the same bed to enter the skiing System was that after spending half the night making love, they'd end up exhausted and fall asleep in each other's arms.

A notification chimed.

Oh my god, big brother, why are we back in the System again? Exhausted, Yin Yu looked utterly dejected.

“Isn't this a bit much, Commander? At least let me get one decent night's sleep~”

Hui Yunshen was also thinking that if they had to sleep apart every time after sex, that wouldn't do! He didn't agree! He shook his head and turned to Yin Yu, his voice firm. “We can't go on like this.”

“Oh?” Yin Yu looked intrigued. “Got an idea?”

“Yeah.” After thinking it over carefully, Hui Yunshen said, “From now on, we'll do it in there.”

Yin Yu: “!” Yin Yu's whole world came crashing down...
