Back to My Dad's College Days

(Son: Su Shu; mother: Bai Yunshu; father: Su Quli)

I was born into a musical family.

My mom is an internationally renowned pianist.

In Vienna's prestigious Golden Hall, Mom wears a white suit and sits before a Yamaha grand piano worth millions. His long fingers glide over the keys, and beautiful music flows from them.

He's noble and elegant, with the golden light of the Vienna hall shining behind him and an air of untouchable dignity.

When the piece ends, the audience gives him a long, restrained round of applause.

"Amazing! Incredible! Bravo!"

The idiot shouting from the audience is my dad.

My dad's a singer. According to them, he's some kind of king of Chinese pop.

Whenever he holds a concert, the crowd goes wild both onstage and off.

My mom sits among the demons and monsters in his suit, watching the person onstage with so much love it practically spills out of him.

I've never understood how someone as cool and gorgeous as my mom fell for an old geezer like my dad.

Then, just like that, I transmigrated to the time when my parents were in college.

My dad's bragged plenty of times that he met my mom in college, fell for him at first sight, and pursued him relentlessly.

But after I transmigrated, something seemed off.

The basketball star who didn't care about anything and laughed like an idiot was my mom?

The guy who studied and wrote seriously, got up early every morning for a meticulous workout, and had a cold, handsome face was my dad?

Wait, aren't they switched around?

One day, the light of the full moon shone on my dad.

My dad suddenly went crazy, wrapped an arm around my mom's waist, and leaned in to kiss him.

Going by how Mom usually hit people, he could easily have sent Dad flying. But he didn't.

After accepting the kiss, Mom raised his eyes and stared at Dad with a watery gaze. For the first time, he looked a little like the mom I knew.

So which of you fell in love first?

Dad suddenly went crazy because every month, when the moonlight shines on the fifteenth, he also transmigrates to this era.

Dad warned me not to tell my mom the truth.

But after spending enough time together, Mom, being a sensitive person, naturally noticed something was off.

With a cigarette between his lips, he asked me, "Xiao Shu, don't you think A Li's acting strange?"

I hardly dared to breathe. "What do you mean?"

"Most of the time, he's cold. But every so often, he gets really affectionate... Damn, could studying have given him a split personality?"

You're overthinking it, Mom. He's just gotten horny in his old age.

Also, Mom, who could've guessed that someone as refined as you used to wear slippers and squat outside an art palace smoking with me more than ten years ago?

The serious version:

Everyone says Bai Yunshu is hard to get along with, but Bai Yunshu thinks his class monitor, Su Quli, is even harder to deal with.

No one can get inside Su Quli's heart.

He doesn't seem like a student. He seems like a soldier: for the sake of an ideal, he can suppress all his feelings.

They were college roommates for five years, supporting each other through conflicts and moments of ambiguity.

Bai Yunshu thought everything would fall into place naturally.

He took 99 steps toward Su Quli.

But the guy actually took a step back and sternly rejected him, as if Bai Yunshu were some shameless slut throwing himself at him.

Bai Yunshu stubbed out his cigarette and turned to leave. "Then spend your whole life carrying that burden."

That's just how Bai Yunshu is. Even when confessing, he makes it seem as casual as eating a meal.

Su Quli has never been able to tell whether his feelings are genuine or fake.

In that case, then they were all fake, and could only be fake.

Going to class together and practicing their singing was fake. Preparing for the Chopin Competition and the Youth Singing Competition together was fake. Fighting back against the unfair treatment of their entertainment company was fake. Forming a music group together was fake...

Helping each other out during sex was fake.

Their heartbeats pounding like drums when they embraced were fake too.

Su Quli gritted his teeth, turned away, shouldered his burden, and climbed step by step toward that peak where "if you're not strong enough, you have no right."

Since Mom and Dad won't say what they feel, let their son help them out!

The first three chapters are from the son's perspective. If you don't want to read those, you can start at Chapter Three, where Dad dies~

Tips:

1. Third-person narration with dual perspectives. The son's perspective will appear here and there early on.

2. One-on-one, both virgins. They're both stubborn as mules.

3. Very sweet and funny at first, with a slightly slow build. In the middle, they push and pull to the extreme and grow as people. Later, it's smut (bows).

Warnings:

1. This book takes place in a normal world with an ABO setup layered over it, so many things are the same as in real life, such as same-sex romance being looked down on. If that's not for you, feel free to move on. Please don't yell at me, sob...

2. This book is fairly realistic. It includes realistic issues such as same-sex love being rejected, the melodramatic situation where he gets married but the groom isn't the man he loves, and a mystery plot about saving Dad. Please read at your own discretion~

Publication begins on the evening of January 22.

In the post-Apocalypse era, there is no longer a Heaven or Hell.

Humans, vampires, demons, elves... All kinds of species live together with the help of advanced technology. Androids have become humanity's greatest allies in keeping the other species in check.

Lier Panning is an incredibly strong, unruly police officer in the capital city.

His face is so stunningly beautiful that even when he's acting like a hooligan, he's especially captivating. If Lier had been born before the Apocalypse, he would have been a bona fide demon.

While investigating a case, he died a gruesome death protecting his younger brother, and his corpse was sealed inside a freezer.

On the seventh day, the body in the freezer came back to life.

An android named Astoria pulled Lier back from the end of time.

Lier: "Have androids reached the point where they can bring someone back to life after they've been dead for seven days?"

Astoria looked innocent. "...Yes?"

Clearly, Astoria was a machine who couldn't even lie convincingly and had nothing going for him except his handsome face.

Lier had Astoria study the hand-to-hand combat techniques on a USB drive so he could quickly defeat the vampire enemies.

But late one night, Astoria pinned Lier to the bed and began to "wrestle" with him.

The next day, Lier went to check the USB drive, rubbing his lower back, and discovered he'd grabbed a porn video instead.

And that guy really did learn from it.

Doesn't he even think?! Lier had never met such a dumb android.

As they investigated the case, prophecies began appearing throughout Moonless City:

The undead demon will break out of Hell and plunge all living beings into chaos.

Lier scoffed and flipped the fortune-tellers the bird. "If demons really exist in this world, I'll put a gun in my mouth and blow my brains out."

He didn't notice Astoria's momentary smile beside him.

Until Lier was on the verge of death and a flash of red light streaked past.

Astoria spread his enormous black-feathered wings, which were still wreathed in flames.

The last demon in the world knelt before him, and a glow flowed from his fingertips, healing Lier's wounds.

Then he raised his hand...

And crushed every enemy's skull.

Tips:

1. This is a short work for a break between longer projects.

2. The worldbuilding is similar to Zootopia, with all kinds of humanoid species living together.

3. A world where multiple species live together, with no magic after the Apocalypse, except for one particular demon.

4. Beautiful, rugged detective shou x sweet-looking but dark-hearted, dumb demon gong

4. Strong leads, intense push and pull, happy ending
