[Inline comments are open] Next novel preorder: So Glad My Nemesis Is a Succubus. Blurb below, please add it to your favorites~ Blurb: Big Brother drew a line in their shabby rental, spread some ragged cotton batting and a torn bedsheet on the floor, and started sleeping there. His little sister was almost nine. No matter how cold she was or how afraid of the dark, she couldn’t sleep with him anymore. His sister still had nightmares every night. In her dreams, their adoptive parents were trapped amid the black smoke and red flames of a car crash, and she always woke up crying at the moment of the explosion. In the dark, she climbed out of bed and pressed herself against her brother’s shoulder, holding tight. Safe, dependable, warm. At last, his sister could fall asleep. Her brother was only thirteen himself. There was nothing he could do except hold his sister tightly. They had been so close back then. Big Brother grew up. He earned money, saved money, and drank himself numb at business dinners. He paid his sister’s tuition, bought her clothes and shoes, and gave her a thick wad of spending money. They had stopped sleeping together long ago. Big Brother used to scold his sister again and again when she opened his bedroom door in the middle of the night. She couldn’t curl up on him to sleep, couldn’t, not even over the blankets. Ten years had passed, and his sister no longer did that. His sister seemed to like someone. A cheerful, sunny boy. She brought him home and served him the dishes Big Brother had cooked. Those eyes that were always crying in front of Big Brother, how could they curve into such a smile for him? Big Brother hid the calluses on his hands, but he couldn’t hide the smell of cooking oil clinging to him. Big Brother showered again and again, but he couldn’t wash it away. His sister came home and opened the door. The room was pitch-black. Big Brother sat in a corner, soaked through and trembling faintly. She reached out to touch him. His whole face was wet, too. Big Brother wept as he undid his buttons. He shamelessly exposed himself, clumsily trying to seduce her. Then, in pain, he grabbed his collar, curled up, and hid away. He could never bring himself to say, Don’t leave me. Big Brother had only his little sister. Even if he had everything, he still had nothing. He had only his little sister. But he was her brother. *Pseudo-incest. The male and female leads are not blood-related. Their feelings only begin to develop after they are both over eighteen and their familial relationship has been legally severed. Before then, there is absolutely no flirting or crossing of boundaries. The events in the blurb take place after they are no longer related. *A healing romance with some angst along the way! Overall, very sweet! The brother and sister love each other deeply! *Big Brother isn’t some useless loser. He earns plenty and takes great care of his sister. The cooking-oil smell is because he loves cooking for her so much. Even when he’s rich, he’ll keep cooking for her for the rest of his life. Preorder: So Glad My Nemesis Is a Succubus. Blurb: One-One-Seven had done a great job of blending into human society. He had a respectable job, a normal personality, and an exceptionally high IQ. He worked during the day and slept at night, keeping a regular schedule. No one knew he was actually an artificial succubus. His disobedient tail had to be firmly bound to his waist with straps before he could put on human clothes. Rather than be an industrial product who lost his mind the moment he saw his master, One-One-Seven wanted to be human. For that reason, he had started taking appetite suppressants while still immature. But after he grew up, the suppressants became less and less effective. One-One-Seven was so hungry that he bit his fingers more and more often, and he frequently lost his wits because of it. One morning, One-One-Seven woke up and discovered he had lost his virginity... And he had been displayed before the other person in an almost humiliating pose. Worse still, the girl across from him, sipping coffee with a satisfied look, was none other than the worst human he had ever met, the person he hated most: Yu Shu. * Yu Shu absolutely detested Yan Qi. He was arrogant and looked down on everyone, and because they were business rivals, he had repeatedly made trouble for her. Then one day, they unexpectedly ran into each other at a dinner party. After they parted on bad terms, she picked up the wrong key card and opened the wrong door. In the darkness, an extraordinarily beautiful succubus pounced on her like a dog, wrapped his arms around her leg, and, face bright red, tearfully called her “Master Shu Shu,” cried “Hungry,” and begged for food. She knew that voice all too well. That gorgeous, wanton face belonged to Yan Qi. Yan Qi was actually a lowly little succubus. Yu Shu was so thrilled she burst out laughing. And while she was laughing, she happily accepted him ^_^ ... Until she realized that this thing could never be fed enough. *BG! Pure love! Theme: Love life
