Add it to your collection!] Lin Chundan is a bad child. He's the son of a concubine, illegitimate and despised by everyone. So he did something very, very bad: He took the prime minister Xie Tingxuan's virginity and schemed his way into the cold beauty's household. The prime minister resented him, loathed him, and avoided him. But Lin Chundan was full of schemes, and had plenty of energy and tricks up his sleeve. On a long, dark night, he offered himself to the man, his face innocent. "But, Prime Minister, I really do love you, you know." When the prime minister fell ill, he stayed by his side day and night, the corners of his eyes reddening. "My lord, if we work up a sweat, the illness will leave your body." In bed, the cold beauty's mouth was harder than his... well, he claimed to hate Lin Chundan for debasing himself and having no shame. Lin Chundan planted a quick kiss on those thin lips that wouldn't stop talking, tilted his head, and said, "My lord, then I'll be leaving..." He tried to leave, but the man pinned his arms in place. He looked up and met those deep eyes, usually so cold and indifferent, now tormented by desire. In a hoarse voice, the man said, "Again." Just once. * Xie Tingxuan was born into nobility and always followed the rules. He never expected to run into a little bastard like Lin Chundan. But he loved him. He loved his careful scheming, his shamelessness, his endless tricks... because he knew the little bastard loved him just as deeply. Until one day, Prime Minister Xie petitioned the emperor for permission to marry Lin Chundan properly. But instead, he caught Lin Chundan trying to run away with bags and bundles. All the valuables were love tokens he'd given him. Worst of all, the young man's hand was being held by another man. Later... "Chundan, a bad child like you belongs hidden in a man's bed forever." And that man could only be him. It had to be him. [Content warnings: 1. Angst and relationship drama, but both leads are each other's first. 2. The bottom is spoiled, selfish, and a scheming black lotus with no sense of morality. He's not a good person, so don't read if that bothers you. 3. The top acts aloof and is a little crazy. He's not a good person either, so don't read if that bothers you. The bottom is an undercover heartthrob, with bad boys lurking all around him. 4. The author is terrible at logic and a bit fluffy. If you insult me, I'll quietly delete your comment in a spineless fit, so please don't insult me. 5. The cover is a commissioned character design for the bottom. I'll take it down if asked.] Upcoming modern, silly, sweet romance: "The Odds of Coming Out to My Nemesis Are Not Zero" Yu Lu woke up one morning and discovered that he was a character in a danmei novel. And the man destined to be his top was none other than his most hated rival, Fu Chongyan. The two had been at each other's throats since childhood, and had just enrolled in the same university as co-valedictorians. Yu Lu: "..." He swore that as a "steel-straight straight man, I'd never be a bottom" and tried to change his fate, but things never went as planned. He deliberately switched dorms, but still ended up sharing a room with Fu Chongyan. Out of the millions of books in the four-story library, the two of them just had to reach for the same one. Even when he joined a club in his spare time, he looked up and saw Fu Chongyan's cold face. Fortunately, hard work paid off. Yu Lu adjusted his plans in time and finally managed to distance himself from his "destined top." When they met again, Fu Chongyan always looked away, his expression annoyed and impatient. Clearly, he couldn't stand Yu Lu. Yu Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Until one day, he ran into Fu Chongyan having a fierce argument with his mother. "Chongyan, did you stay for him? Are you really giving up studying abroad for him?" Fu Chongyan's voice was calm. "Yes. Yu Lu matters more to me than anything." Yu Lu had been eavesdropping, only to discover that the conversation was about him. He froze for a few seconds, then fell silent for a long time. When had Fu Chongyan turned so gay he could curl into a spring? And he had a crush on him? No, it had to be an excuse. He was definitely just using him as an excuse! * Fu Chongyan was aloof, but he kept having the same dream. In the dream, light and shadow tangled together. A young man flushed red, his expression restrained but his words arrogant. "Fu, I'll kill you tomorrow." After waking up, Fu Chongyan recognized the protagonist of his erotic dream as his nemesis, Yu Lu. His eyes were so beautiful. His chestnut hair looked so soft, and his cheeks... looked soft too. Memories of growing up with Yu Lu overlapped with the person in his dream. Those shameful desires stirred an endless flutter in his heart, reminding Fu Chongyan of how, a long time ago, someone had given his life an anchor again and pulled him back down to the surface of the earth. The man lowered his lashes. A glimmer seemed to appear in his dark eyes. "Yu Lu." [Fluffy, pretty corgi bottom x sharp-tongued, aloof, cool guy top] [Important note]: 1. Both leads are each other's first love and first partner. A light, sweet story. (The author is terrible at logic, and the plot exists to serve my preferences. If you don't like it, please leave. Don't attack the author personally. Let's all get along.) 2. The plot exists to serve the romance and my preferences. Theme: Don't deceive others.
