Character setup:

Dog-training master, aloof beauty uke × clueless, rough-and-tumble idiot puppy seme

Blurb:

Ji Shen first met Shen Jihan at a bar one night.

Shen Jihan had been drinking. The lights fell on him, and his long hair spilled over his shoulders. He was breathtakingly beautiful, and that beauty had attracted a crowd of people with bad intentions.

Ji Shen, working there as a part-time waiter, stepped in to help Shen Jihan out of the situation and escorted him from the bar. Before they parted, he advised him not to come there alone again.

Shen Jihan gave him a meaningful glance.

-

The second time Ji Shen saw Shen Jihan, they were at the bar again.

Shen Jihan had taken his words to heart. This time, he hadn't come alone: he had brought more than twenty burly bodyguards.

The bar was cleared out, and when Ji Shen tried to slip away in the commotion, several bodyguards hauled him over to a table.

Shen Jihan, seated opposite him, slid a contract across the table.

Wait, what?

A fake-dating agreement?!!

-

After being forced by his father to go on one blind date after another, Shen Jihan went to a random bar to drown his sorrows.

When he noticed the ill-intentioned gazes around him, he considered whether to have the bar shut down for good.

Then a handsome, refined, muscular waiter appeared and came to his rescue.

Shen Jihan looked at him.

Suddenly, he had an idea for dealing with his father's insistence on setting him up.

Ji Shen's diary:

Day 1: Be Shen Jihan's dog.

Day 2: Be Shen Jihan's dog.

Day 3: Be Shen Jihan's dog.

Day 4: Ji Shen, Ji Shen, how can you be so pathetic? You're a young college student, the morning sun! You are not allowed to be Shen Jihan's dog anymore!!

Day 5: Be Shen Jihan's dog.

#Pretend romance turns real

#Just his sweetheart's way of luring in a puppy

PS: As always, the uke falls in love at first sight, but in the end, the seme is the one who pursues the uke.

Reader's guide:

1. Shen Jihan (uke) × Ji Shen (seme)

2. Both are each other's first and only, 1v1, happy ending. The trashy dad is no threat!!! Read with confidence!!

3. Rough, devoted-dog seme × proud "queen" uke

4. This is a self-indulgent story combining the author's favorite height difference, body-size difference, stamina difference, and younger-seme dynamics.

5. Ji Shen's diary is adapted from Hu Shi's "I Must Stop Playing Cards" diary.

6. I recommend reading one chapter at a time. If you hit a scene you dislike, drop it right away. Let's part on good terms, and everyone will be better off.

7. There is no love rival for the uke and no jealousy from him in this story. I really don't accept false content warnings. For details, see the author's note in Chapter 1!!!!

Coming soon: The Little Cat Liuyi's Guide to Raising a Human

Blurb:

Character setup: [Spoiled, adorable, sensitive, beautiful catboy uke × gentle, melancholy, big-chested daddy-type seme with hearing loss]

Liuyi is a tabby cat. While wandering the streets, he found a human.

Moved by the human's pitiful expression, Liuyi went over and snuggled into his arms, then followed him back to a small rental apartment.

But little by little, he realized something was wrong.

The neighborhood cats said the humans they raised made lots of noises every day, calling their names in all sorts of ways.

But...

Liuyi looked at the person beside him, quietly watching TV. Why didn't his human make any sound?

-

Because he could barely hear, and had no one around to talk to, Shen Zhiyu gradually stopped speaking much.

Lonely, he picked up a cat at the mouth of an alley and brought it home. Having the cat for company did help him feel more at ease.

But as one miserable thing after another happened, Shen Zhiyu's depression grew worse.

That night, after writing a suicide note and arranging for someone to take care of the cat, he took a knife into the bathroom.

He had only just turned on the water when the door was violently kicked open. A beautiful young man, completely naked and with snow-white skin, rushed in and wrapped his arms around Shen Zhiyu's leg.

Then, in a voice loud enough for even him to hear, the young man cried, "Human! Don't send me away!"

-

Liuyi was truly terrified. He had been wondering why his human had taken a knife into the bathroom when he suddenly spotted the suicide note on the desk.

Frantically, he howled and scratched at the bathroom door, but there was no response from inside.

Desperate, he grew the four limbs that only humans had...

Liuyi's diary:

1. My heart was racing for no reason today, and I couldn't eat. My human took me to see a human doctor, and it turned out it was because he rushed out this morning and forgot to kiss me. Was I angry enough to make myself sick?!

Doctor, my foot!

It's totally not because of that! >_<

2. My human asked why I call him "human" in my diary.

Hmph, then why do you call me "cat"?!

A little skit:

During his regular weekly therapy session, Shen Zhiyu said, "I was planning to kill myself last night."

The doctor gasped. "What changed your mind?"

Shen Zhiyu thought for a moment. "He said he was going to a cat convention today, and asked me to get up early and do his hair. I wanted him to look beautiful at the convention, and I wanted him to come home to a delicious meal..."

A few thoughts:

1. 1v1, happy ending, both are each other's first and only. The cat turns into a human, and the cat heals the human. Cats are the best! Gentle, daddy-type seme.

2. Since Liuyi is a cat, he has plenty of logic humans can't understand. Don't be mean to Liuyi.

3. The seme has hearing loss. When he wants to play dumb, he takes off his hearing aids and says, "I can't hear you."

4. The setting is that Liuyi can understand some human writing.

5. The seme has depression, but he will recover in the end.
