Next up: "The Stalker and the Cheating Fetishist"

*(Blurb for this novel)*

Pei Cong clawed his way up from the lowest rung, where polluted waste was dumped, only to be betrayed at the height of his success. His reputation was ruined, and he died horribly.

When he opens his eyes again, he’s back on a wasteland planet ten years in the past, in someone else’s body.

This time, he meets his younger “self”: insecure, weak, withdrawn and wary, nearly swallowed by deep resentment and despair.

The road ahead is dark and long, full of hardship. Pei Cong sighs, but still takes the boy along with him.

With his knowledge of the future, Pei Cong leads the boy, step by step, down a new path of his choosing, one that is more glorious and far smoother.

He feeds the boy the hard-won fruits of his past-life experience, tinged with blood. He holds nothing back, grants his every request, and indulges him without limits.

At last, he raises the boy into an outstanding man of power.

A sword of revenge: sharp, silent, and unbeatable.

Pei Cong is very pleased with how well he follows orders.

That is, until the boy repays his kindness with betrayal, restrains his limbs, implants a bug and a tracker, and watches him every moment with a gaze that feels almost tangible. Only then does Pei Cong finally catch on.

The other man licks the reddened wrist bone, still flushed from the electric shocks, and bends close.

“You taught me this yourself: if you want something, you have to get it by any means necessary. Even if it’s damaged, you still have to take it.”

Pei Cong: ...?

I thought I was a freak who didn’t like being around people?

How did my power fantasy about a male lead turn into a forced-love imprisonment story?

Before he was swept into the storm, Pei Cong’s final thought was:

“Damn, he really is just like me.”

“He’s so young, and he’s had such a hard life. Why not let go of those burdens and play along with him?”

Reader’s guide:

◆ Pei Cong (cong)

◆ Self-pairing, narcissism, and corruption

◆ The protagonist isn’t quite right in the head at any stage, but the couple is very happy

◆ Lots of personal headcanons. I was starving, so I wrote exactly what I wanted to read.

A new preview I suddenly wanted to write, so I immediately started building a backlog:

"The Stalker and the Cheating Fetishist", a match made in misery

[Reckless, devastatingly handsome bottom × sadistic, cold, controlling top]

As a paparazzo, Bian Yue is nasty and highly skilled.

Airport stakeouts, lurking, leaks, private itineraries... Whether the target is a huge star or a minor idol, as long as they care about their future, he can always get away clean.

So when his target is a C-list entertainer who dropped out of a talent show a few years ago and is suspected of being blacklisted, Bian Yue doesn’t take it seriously.

He uses his usual tricks on Qin Shiji, even escalating them, provoking him time and again under the guise of being a “fan.” He’s maliciously curious to see what Qin Shiji is really like beneath his gentle exterior.

Unfortunately, Qin Shiji doesn’t care about his career, and he’s a hypocrite who’s nothing like he seems.

All he wants is to teach this intrusive, lying, disgusting stalker a lesson he’ll never forget.

Theme: Take up arms to defend everyone’s right to equality.

Worth Rereading

I love all kinds: shou-focused, gong-focused, power couples, strong gong and weaker shou, and shou doting on gong. They're all here. (The star ratings don't reflect how good they are. Every book on this list is worth rereading over and over!!)

Weird Kinks (Bottom-Focused)

Purely subjective, no judging by the hype. Star ratings are just personal taste; you won't know if it's for you until you read it. I read without thinking too hard and have few dealbreakers, so take this with a grain of salt. I'll add more as I think of them.

Selfcest for All Pairings

I enjoy gong-centric, shou-centric, switch gong and switch shou, BL, BG, GB, GL, anything goes. I'm not picky. My ratings are subjective, but as long as the plot isn't off-putting, it gets at least 90 points.

I just like slightly twisted romances (dark, damp, and intense). Continuously adding... Since I like following ongoing stories, I may add them midway through. If the vibe turns wrong later, I'll delete them.
