After Pretending to Be a Mama's Boy on a Blind Date

The new novel, Getting Married Before Falling in Love After Bankruptcy, is now live! The blurb is below.

-

[Gentle and refined on the surface, but possessive and obsessive seme x cheerful, optimistic, clever, but hopelessly lovesick uke]

-

Lin You'an was suddenly set up on a blind date by his mother.

As a male university student who thought he was still young and could find a partner without any trouble, Lin You'an didn't refuse, but he had no intention of cooperating either.

Lin You'an planned to follow a dating guide circulating online and act like a mama's boy to put off his blind date.

To his surprise, the person he met was a handsome man who even started waving property deeds in his face...?

Lin You'an suspected this was a scam targeting the elderly. He suppressed his attraction and kept up the mama's-boy act, hoping to catch the other man slipping.

But the man didn't get angry at all. Instead, he actually planned to pursue him for real...??

Lin You'an: This guy definitely has something wrong with him...

-

Gradually, from stray remarks by people around him and Chen Ke's excessive tolerance, Lin You'an deduced one fact:

He seemed to have completely forgotten the other man.

And the other man seemed... to have had a crush on him for many years.

#The world's falling apart: I was the heartless jerk who seduced him and then abandoned him#

But when Lin You'an took the initiative to ask about their past, hoping to recover his lost memories, Chen Ke seemed troubled and made it clear he didn't want Lin You'an to remember.

-

Memories are the most precious gift anyone can have.

But lovers are always selfish.

Chen Ke wanted to remain the most perfect version of himself in Lin You'an's memories forever.

Those gloomy, damp days when the rain seemed endless were something only he needed to remember.

-

1. A sweet story about mutual crushes that, through a twist of fate, turn into a one-sided crush.

2. Fake childhood friends become fake strangers who meet by chance. They're the same age, but the seme skipped grades and became an upperclassman.

New novel blurb:

After working nonstop for days without sleep, Lin Jiashu finally finished his thesis defense. Before he could even take his graduation photos, he received news that his father was gravely ill.

He hurried home, only to be told the company was facing bankruptcy and acquisition, and that he would have to enter an arranged marriage for the family's benefit.

Lin Jianye covered his face and coughed, speaking in a weak voice. "Cough, cough. Xiaoshu, I know how filial you are... Tomorrow, go meet your future husband."

Lin Jiashu's heart sank. "...Huh?"

His future husband was half a head taller than him, with a steady bearing and handsome, striking features.

The man nodded politely, looking stern and proper. "Hello, I'm Shen Shen."

Having just heard that Shen Shen was ruthless and could eat little boys alive, Lin Jiashu stammered nervously, "H-hello..."

#A frail father, a tearful stepmother, a disabled older brother, and him, broken beyond repair#

"A Little Tree" is an unknown looks-streamer whose few moments of going viral have all been thanks to his face.

The viewers in his livestream refuse to admit they're his fans.

Their excuse: Everyone has a duty to help a pretty fool.

"Viewer16789301" is the top donor in "A Little Tree's" livestream. He has never spoken on mic or shown his face, but he often spends a fortune.

The only time he left a message was when Lin Jiashu was granting viewers' wishes in a livestream. He wrote, "Next time you stream, remember to put your pants on."

Lin Jiashu: "...?"

Viewers: "???"

This isn't an erotic livestream, bro!

-

Later, Lin Jiashu goes viral by playing up the chemistry between men, and Shen Shen asks the young man to give him a title in bed.

Lin Jiashu is so overwhelmed he can't take it. His foxlike eyes glisten with tears, and even his answer sounds like a complaint: "...Could you, um, change that username of yours?"

Shen Shen's gaze deepens. He gently bites the little streamer's earlobe and whispers, "How about I change it to 'Watering Little Tree'?"

Lin Jiashu's already-flushed face turns even redder.

Teacher Little Tree really isn't an erotic streamer!!

-

Shen Shen believes this arranged marriage is only for the sake of business.

He thinks he's never had, and never will have, the kind of vulgar desires ordinary people do.

It's just that his arranged partner happens to be a little streamer he once followed on a whim.

Until Lin Jiashu barges into his territory without a care...

Those eyes that so easily cloud with tears, wrists that turn red at the slightest squeeze, a red mole on his inner thigh, and long, pale, soft legs.

Shen Shen has to use every ounce of his willpower to resist grabbing Lin Jiashu by the ankle and leaning down to kiss that red mole.

If he can't resist, Shen Shen thinks, then he won't.

Theme: Even after losing your memories, you'll fall in love with me again
