Zhizhi

[After receiving feedback from readers in the comments, I realized there were some issues I hadn't noticed while writing. Mainly: 1. Another novel's protagonist, Duan Yuzhen, appears in this story, and some readers felt he had too much page time. My original idea was to have the bottom cuddle up with him... but clearly I didn't pull it off. I'm very sorry. 2. The side couple, Duan Yuzhen and Zhou Zhanwen. I truly hadn't intended to add a side couple to Zhier's story. When these two appeared, they were thirteen or fourteen years old, still children, and their relationship was purely friendship. But after seeing readers' feedback, I realized that the way I wrote it was inappropriate and those scenes were unnecessary. Zhou's character has now been removed. 3. I put Zhier through too much suffering at the beginning. I'm sorry again. I honestly don't know how to explain this one. My tastes really are rather twisted. When I see a beautiful boy I like, I want to bully him. I'm scum... I'm putting this here so readers can avoid it if it's not their thing. Thank you so much for your corrections and suggestions, and for loving Zhier. Updated October 31, 2025] Blurb: 1. Fang Wanzhi is poor and rather slow-witted, and Li Che has bullied him since childhood. Then one day, he suddenly learns that he's actually the young heir of a wealthy family who was kidnapped as a child. Overnight, he rises from rags to riches, gaining a new family and friends who cherish and protect him in every way. A pearl fallen into the mud finally begins to shine in the warmth of love. Fang Wanzhi feels that he ought to return all the love he's been given. His natural instincts tell him the most direct way to show affection is to cuddle up close. So whether he's facing his brother, who's fiercely possessive of him, his friend who's all bark and a soft heart, or a stern, traditional elder, Fang Wanzhi smiles with narrowed eyes, opens his arms, and gives them a big hug. This clingy puppy loves everyone who loves him, without discrimination. 2. Duan Yuzhe likes Fang Wanzhi, but he always insists otherwise and refuses to confess. He thinks no one in the world is good enough for Fang Wanzhi, himself included. So as long as he can stay by Fang Wanzhi's side as a friend and occasionally enjoy a little affection between friends, he's content. Duan Yuzhe thinks he'll spend the rest of his life quietly looking after Fang Wanzhi, until one night he sees Fang Wanzhi kissing another man with his own eyes. He has no right to step in and stop them. All he can do is watch from afar in secret, choking on his unspoken feelings and driven nearly mad with jealousy At last, he understands just how terribly wrong he was. A stubborn, love-struck top × clingy, puppy-like, adorable and beautiful bottom Duan Yuzhe × Fang Wanzhi 1. The story centers on the bottom and dotes on him. Not recommended for readers who prefer mutual pampering or a top-focused romance. Zhier is a universally adored, naturally airheaded little Pomeranian. He's clingy but won't throw himself at anyone. He's insecure at first, but will gradually be healed by love. Contains cross-dressing and feminization of the bottom; please skip it if that's not your thing. 2. Both leads are inexperienced. The top is obsessed with the bottom and a love-struck fool, but his stubbornness means there are a few bittersweet moments for him. Before the romance officially begins, Zhier will have emotional encounters with other supporting characters. 3. Updates daily at 11 p.m. Other updates are for corrections.
