He Willingly Fell Into the Web

In other people’s eyes, Gu Yuechuan is willful and reckless.

He has covered himself in shield-like scales, like a shark. They make him feel completely safe, while also shutting out every probe and possibility.

Until Mr. Song moves in next door.

Gu Yuechuan can’t explain why he’s drawn to him. He secretly keeps an eye on the man, like a shadow hiding in a corner, afraid the sunlight will make him visible.

Half of a reassembled photograph sits by Song Hanshan’s bed.

In the dim light, a strange silhouette is cast upon the wall. Something slowly cracks, rubs, and presses itself together again, making a faint creaking sound threaded with bubbles.

He holds the crumpled photo against his chest and kisses it every night before falling asleep.

There is a kind of creature that can freely switch between a hydro-skeleton and an exoskeleton. It releases pheromones produced by special glands into the air as a means of communication. These chemical signals may attract other individuals and provoke specific behaviors and physiological responses.

Disaster strikes without warning. Surrounded by a familiar scent, Gu Yuechuan relaxes and falls into the “web” spreading open to receive him.

Gu Yuechuan: Am I the prey?

Song Hanshan: No. You’re my beloved.

During their escape, Gu Yuechuan curls up in the web and Song Hanshan carries him on his back through every danger. He is Gu Yuechuan’s safe haven, and Gu Yuechuan is his power bank.

#A laid-back farming story. Early chapters take place in a fictional modern city where same-sex marriage is legal. No supernatural powers awaken after disaster strikes.

#The love interest is only mildly nonhuman, with genes for both a hydro-skeleton and an exoskeleton, and three forms.

#Both are each other’s first and only. A devoted mutual romance brimming with security.
