[Slow-paced, gentle and unhurried, everyday life] [Complete] [Full text costs only 2.9 yuan]

Pitch:

In the month he graduated from college, Ji Wenxu was injured in a racing accident and ended up in the hospital. Old Master Ji was furious and declared that he would find Ji Wenxu a wife to keep him in line.

Ji Wenxu assumed the old man was just venting.

But before long, his father took him to the company to meet a man.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses. He had a cool, refined air, elegant features, and a pair of eyes that seemed capable of bewitching anyone.

He introduced himself: “My name is Song Tingyun. I’m twenty-six, and I’m your marriage alliance partner.”

Ji Wenxu was dumbfounded. Is this a joke?! A man? And four years older than me?

He figured his family must have been bewitched by this handsome man.

-

The first time Song Tingyun met Ji Wenxu was at his parents’ funeral. At the time, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, creditors had chased him all the way to the funeral hall, and people around him were whispering.

And sixteen-year-old Ji Wenxu stood up for a complete stranger he didn’t even know.

After that, Ji Wenxu entered Song Tingyun’s line of sight.

He hadn’t planned to make a move when Ji Wenxu had only just graduated, but the racing accident had frightened not only the Ji family, but him as well.

So Song Tingyun took advantage of the situation and brought Ji Wenxu under his watchful eye.

-

Ji Wenxu was thoroughly dissatisfied with the fact that he had somehow acquired a wife.

But Old Master Ji kept a close eye on him, so he had no choice but to marry Song Tingyun. Fortunately, Song Tingyun understood and even took the initiative to draw up a marriage agreement with him.

After spending some time with Song Tingyun, Ji Wenxu realized that the man wasn’t so annoying after all.

At the very least... he really did treat Ji Wenxu well, and he really was good-looking!

Later, Ji Wenxu’s excuse for turning down get-togethers with friends became: “My husband can’t be left alone. I need to go home and keep him company.”

But Song Tingyun knew nothing about this and wondered, “Is that a thing?”

#Early on, the top: He’s four years older than me! There’s no way I’d ever date someone older...

#Later, the top: Date him! I’m dating an older man! Who said there’s anything wrong with older men?! They’re the best!

Content warnings★:

1. 1v1, happy ending, top’s perspective, both are each other’s first and only, younger top, four-year age gap.

2. The bottom falls in love at first sight, then gradually pursues and deliberately tempts the top. The top falls in love over time.

3. In theory, they spoil each other. But at first, the top believes his partner can’t be older than him and that he absolutely can’t give in to marriage so soon. That means the bottom’s feelings are more obvious at first. Once the top falls for him, he’s constantly getting jealous on the sly and pulling childish stunts. He’s a typical innocent college boy.

4. A story about “an innocent college boy who’s just left the tutorial zone meeting a max-level incubus.”

5. Note: For roughly the first ten chapters, the top is extremely immature!!! I personally like stories where an immature character grows into someone dependable, someone their partner can rely on with peace of mind. But he doesn’t completely lose that immaturity, and is occasionally childish around his partner. (If you can’t accept that, you can start reading around Chapter Ten, or proceed with caution!!)

6. Extreme shippers who insist on only one pairing, please don’t read. Both characters are lovely.

Pre-release: My Lover Is an Evil God in the Asylum. Here’s the pitch:

As an overworked office drone and former cleared-the-game player in an infinite-flow horror game, Pei Yubai’s daily routine was all mapped out for him:

Monday to Friday: home, work. Home, work...

Saturday and Sunday: home, asylum. Home, asylum...

There was no helping it. His lover was the evil god of an infinite-flow game.

Recently, he received an invitation to work as an NPC in an infinite-flow game scenario.

Wait, did that mean he could be coworkers with his wife?

-

Once, Tulan was the final boss, an evil god in an infinite-flow horror game. It had killed countless players, and countless players had killed it in turn.

Then a genius player named Pei Yubai suddenly appeared before it and proposed to it?!

Tulan: /(/ /●/w/●/ /)/ Shy!

After they got together, it continued to play the evil god in various scenarios, while its lover worked outside. Even so, its lover came to visit every weekend.

It was content and happy.

One day, its lover told it that from now on, he would go to whichever scenario it was in and keep it company.

Tulan: ≧w≦ Even happier!

-

[School Scenario]

[Years ago, a student was bullied to death at the school. A few years later, it seemed he had returned.]

Pei Yubai works as the school’s music teacher.

He also has to substitute for the Chinese teacher who called in sick, set up the mirror ghost’s workspace, add blood to the art teacher’s red paint, and counsel the school counselor...

Meanwhile, the players notice that the gentle, handsome music teacher in the school scenario seems to have an ambiguous relationship with the student who died a gruesome death.

“Sweetheart, you looked pretty good dressed like a student!”

PS: At midnight, the NPCs actually gather to gossip about Pei Yubai and Tulan’s love story.

[Old Mansion Scenario]

[The Earl’s long-lost legitimate son was found and brought home. But one day, he died a gruesome death in the garden. Since then, his ghost seemed to appear everywhere in the old mansion.]

Pei Yubai works as the old mansion’s butler.

He has to help the young lady maintain her skin, wipe off the spots where players have dirtied the man-eating painting, set up the illegitimate son’s prank traps, and comfort the gardener who can’t seem to grow anything...

The players discover a hidden rule: anyone who shows the butler even the slightest disrespect will be taken by the dead legitimate son that very night.

“Sweetheart, are you standing up for me? ^^”

PS: On Christmas Eve, the NPCs actually gather to complain about the scenario’s awful pay.

Pre-release content warnings:

1. This is not an infinite-flow story!! There’s no brain-burning plot!! It’s just about the NPCs’ everyday lives in infinite-flow scenarios, as if they’ve awakened to their own consciousness. It’s even somewhat slice-of-life!

2. 1v1, happy ending, both are each other’s first and only, they spoil each other, top’s perspective. To the couple, every scenario is just one giant cosplay session.

3. The NPCs are adorable and get along very well with the main characters. Their relationship is just a normal workplace relationship, except their workplace happens to be inside an infinite-flow game scenario. I’ve read lots of infinite-flow stories and wanted to write a little about the NPCs’ lives.

Theme: True love above all. You alone are what my heart yearns for
