After the Plot Went Off the Rails, I Was Tamed by a Powerful Man

Story blurb

Yu Cong is a young master pushed to the margins by his family and shunned by his social circle. His life is dull and uneventful.

Then he read a harem novel and woke up to a voice claiming to be a System, which told him two things:

He had been afflicted with a corrupted version of the harem-protagonist curse.

Only getting close to Liang Jinyan could remove the curse. Otherwise, it would keep getting worse.

Once the curse took effect, his roommate, an underclassman, and even a longtime rival he'd lost touch with all claimed to love him, and each was crazier than the last.

He wasn't really a harem protagonist. He was more like prey. Every day, he had to navigate a chaotic love-warzone until he was completely exhausted.

Only when he was near Liang Jinyan could he catch his breath.

Liang Jinyan was a friend of his older brother's. Though a business magnate, he treated people warmly and smiled with phoenix eyes.

He was ten years older, but he welcomed Yu Cong's advances and even helped him deal with two of his crazed suitors.

Yu Cong thought Liang Jinyan was a decent person, but without realizing it, he stepped deeper and deeper into the trap and was carefully tamed.

In truth, Liang Jinyan was warm on the outside and cold within, with reason above all else. His gentleness was just a mask that let him pass for normal. Beneath that mask lurked a controlling streak, making Yu Cong think he was nothing more than a plaything kept in a cage.

But Yu Cong never expected that when the plot spiraled out of control and the world saw him as an obstacle,

Liang Jinyan would be the first to catch him as he fell.

Money, power, and fame: Liang Jinyan offered them all, happy to be used by him.

* Warm-on-the-outside, cold-on-the-inside, controlling daddy-type seme x sharp-tongued, pretty young master uke

* Liang Jinyan x Yu Cong, older man, ten-year age gap, mutually devoted.

Blurb for the upcoming book

Shen Shisong lost his memory. He woke up aboard an old cruise ship and was swept into a bizarre game the moment he opened his eyes.

Even stranger, he found a tall man floating in the sea.

Pale skin, inorganic eyes: he didn't look alive. But the first thing he said was that he was Shen Shisong's ex-husband.

Shen Shisong calmly lifted a leg, ready to kick the man back into the sea.

But his ex-husband's cold fingertip touched his thigh. "You have a mole here."

Shen Shisong froze. The icy beauty suppressed his violent impulse and let the cold droplets seep through his clothes.

His ex-husband laughed in a slightly deranged way. "I've bitten that mole many times."

Well, at least they'd really slept together.

Shen Shisong lost his memory but survived on instinct. Still, he kept spotting his ex-husband at crucial scenes, always arriving before him.

Song Yuan sat at ease, with the man who'd threatened to kill Shen Shisong an hour earlier lying dead at his feet.

His ex-husband looked up at him, gazing with eyes as damp and cold as seawater, smiling as if expecting praise.

Some time after returning to land, Shen Shisong had had enough of Song Yuan, who had never once used the front door and had appeared out of nowhere in his home several times.

Shen Shisong: "Didn't we already get divorced?"

Song Yuan: "We didn't get divorced."

Shen Shisong was confused. Then what made him an ex-husband?

Song Yuan gently smoothed the furrow between his brows. "I'm a widower."

He understood, but not completely. "You act the same whether you're dead or alive?"

Song Yuan fell silent again, faced with a difficult question.

Shen Shisong: "What kind of nonhuman are you? Show me your true form."

Song Yuan sighed affectionately. A wife with amnesia needed a hundred times more patience to guide, so he answered honestly:

"There's not enough room for me here."
