Don't Bully a Thirty-Year-Old!

[Nosy, overworked straight-laced capitalist (bottom) x young, strong, lovesick high school boy (top)]

[11-year age gap / body swap / younger love interest]

Bottom's POV: A dog that was casually thrown a bone clings on unreasonably.

Top's POV (melancholy): Loving someone older is a lifetime of dampness.

[Main Synopsis]

Huo Suo is a nearly thirty-year-old executive, aggressive in his methods, and a veteran of the cutthroat business world.

His one shortcoming is that, despite his iron-fisted ruthlessness, he has a clingy, oversized baby of a nephew still in high school.

One day, he wakes up to find his sweet and innocent nephew brazenly blowing smoke in his face and snarling, "Do you give up?"

Is this idiot staging a coup?

Huo is so furious he nearly has a stroke. It is only when he sees the mirror in the men's restroom that he realizes he seems to have ended up in the body of a delinquent high school boy.

-

Zhou Zhan is the king of the experimental high school, and he has never gotten along with Huo Sicheng, the rich young master. The two school celebrities have been at each other's throats for years.

You could say the school has suffered under Qin for a long time.

Then one day, he wakes up to find that he and his nemesis's uncle, the man on the cover of financial reports, have swapped souls.

He had seen this uncle before, when he was working at a billiards hall. The man had just returned from abroad and come to haul Huo Sicheng away. Huo Sicheng was tall and burly, but didn't dare breathe as the man dragged him by the ear.

With a cigarette between his thin lips, the man had glanced over from afar, brows knitted, cool and arrogant.

His nemesis is an idiot,

but his nemesis's uncle looks like a real catch.

-

And it isn't just his looks. President Huo's temper is also top-notch. When he's in a good mood, he'll tease the kid for fun. When he's in a bad mood, he'll kick Zhou Zhan and tell him to get lost.

As for Zhou Zhan, he's a high school boy who takes shamelessness to a whole new level. He's the kind of bastard who'd grab President Huo by the ankle, then grin and tell him to kick harder.

[Bonus Scene]

Huo Suo has suffered from migraines for over ten years. His nephew picked up some folk remedy somewhere and would stand behind Huo's chair to massage his head whenever he saw him in pain.

One time, Zhou Zhan opened the door and saw them. Without a word, he backed out.

Late that night, Huo Suo had worked overtime until it was too late, so he decided to spend the night in the bedroom behind his office. A tall, broad figure immediately pressed down on him, warm, damp breath brushing against Huo Suo's ear.

"Bro, did his massage feel good?"

The next morning, Huo Suo's head was full of Zhou Zhan's hoarse whispers, murmured right into his ear one after another.

"Bro, was he better, or am I?"

"Bro, why won't you look at me?"

"Am I more important, or that useless nephew of yours? Am I more important, or your work? Am I more important, or your junior assistant?"

Dating a strong, young high school boy is great, but the boy's separation anxiety is a bit too intense (and so is his sex drive). Huo Suo is deeply troubled by it.

As the older one, President Huo puts on a negotiating face every time he tries to talk to the boy about it. The boy just stares at him with red-rimmed eyes, looking utterly hurt.

It's clear the boy is genuinely heartbroken. That night, he cries while they're making love, and Huo Suo, old bones and all, has to gasp between words as he struggles to comfort him...

1. The bottom and top will not get together or have sex before the top is an adult!

2. This story is about friction between high schoolers going through puberty. There is no bullying, and school violence is not condoned.

3. They will swap souls around three times, then things will settle down.

4. There will be a few scenes involving illness and frailty, but the bottom is absolutely not weak!

Coming soon: The Dragon-Blooded Protagonist's Dead Servant Puppet Awakens

[Flexible, repeatedly dying puppet A-Jia x ruthless, gloomy, lovesick dragon-blooded protagonist]

A-Jia was the brother who cultivated alongside the dragon-blooded protagonist in his youth. They came from the same village and joined the same sect.

Before long, the dragon-blooded protagonist's exceptional talent made him stand out, earning the envy of the villainous sect leader. He had spiritual roots, fortuitous encounters, a master, and admirers, and always managed to turn danger into safety.

But his mediocre country-brother A-Jia had it rough: he was killed by the villain and made into a soulless corpse puppet to use against the dragon-blooded protagonist.

After the villain was killed in turn, the dragon-blooded protagonist, devoted to his brother, took A-Jia with him.

From then on, A-Jia became the soulless, spiritless tool puppet who followed behind the dragon-blooded protagonist as he trampled the heavens and conquered his harem, carrying his pack and taking blows for him.

Ha ha, unfortunately, Qi Lianqing is that very A-Jia.

Even worse, he wakes up ten years later.

The dragon-blooded protagonist's fame now resounds across the entire cultivation continent. He's in high spirits, full of ambition.

And more recognizable than the dragon-blooded protagonist's own face is his signature, unconventional mark: the invulnerable, soulless corpse puppet, Qing Kui.

"Is that Mo Xuanzhe?"

"You don't recognize Mo Xuanzhe? Then surely you recognize the Qing Kui behind him!"

The dragon-blooded protagonist is arrogant, bewitching, defiant, and flirtatious. In ten years, he has destroyed three great sects, one after another, and remains as unruly as ever.

Qi Lianqing was made into a puppet back then through his own foolishness. He doesn't know whether Mo Xuanzhe will simply tear him to pieces if he discovers that he's awake.

So he keeps still. Fortunately, Qi Lianqing was never much of a talker, so following Mo Xuanzhe around doesn't look suspicious.

But... Mo Xuanzhe, with all those devoted followers fawning over you, why are you pawing at and gnawing on a puppet that's been dead for years at night?

And do your tears grow on trees?

You're going to wash me clean, ha ha... I'm screwed, bro. I'm a straight man. No, a straight puppet.

This story is also called My Puppet Bro (with "bro" used as a verb) and The Puppet Ran Away, and the Dragon-Blooded Protagonist Went Mad.

"He was vile, cowardly, short-lived, and weak. I brought him out of that remote mountain village, turning him from a crude, lowly mortal into a disciple of the immortal sect. Yet he was led astray by a villain and tried to harm me. He brought his fate upon himself, his soul scattered, and died a horrible death."

"I held no grudge and allowed him to remain by my side in his broken body."

"What right does he have to leave?"
