The socially anxious Ruan Cunyun only dared to let go of himself in the 2D world.... more>>

There are three things he loves the most in his life:

After he finished speaking, he saw a man in a crisp suit walking into view, exuding a strong professional aura.

The colleagues respectfully said, “Hello, Mr. Qin.”

Ruan Cunyun broke out in a cold sweat: Shit, I seem to have seen him at the comic exhibition four years ago. Am I going to be exposed on the first day?

Qin Fanglu, the co-founder of a black horse company, had started from scratch and climbed up through challenging experiences. His paperman obsession was buried deep underneath his mature and elite appearance.

No employee knows that the meticulous young entrepreneur was actually an Otaku for ten years with hundreds of thousands of fans online, and was addressed as “The Circle’s Great God Teacher Balls.”

Qin Fanglu considered himself as an extremely rational papermen-sexual.

He has never liked real people and doesn’t know how he should like them.

But the newly hired child unexpectedly barged into his life.

A baby face, cool touches. A pair of tiger teeth were sometimes exposed when he smiled.

The self-cognition of being a papermen-s*xual for more than 20 years collapsed.

How should normal young people date?

The old acute Otaku took romance courses from scratch, yet why does he fail to understand it no matter how much he studied?

Ruan Cunyun & Qin Fanglu: I am an acute Otaku, I can’t let him find out!

However, born as a daughter of a poor family, her beauty became a curse.

At the age of eighteen, Meng Yan was relentlessly pursued by a paranoid man who threatened to ruin her if she refused him.

To escape, Meng Yan volunteered for rural work, but the madman followed her!

In desperation, Meng Yan's father sought help from an influential friend to find a capable man to marry his daughter, hoping to end the relentless pursuit of the paranoid man.

Coincidentally, the son of the influential figure's friend, stationed on a remote island as a young and promising military officer, was of marriageable age.

Though the island conditions were harsh, he was honest and handsome. The question remained whether a delicate girl like Meng Yan could endure...

"I can! I'm willing!" Harsh conditions were nothing compared to escaping the paranoid man!

Jiang Shaoyu, a young talent, show no interest in others but the island life.

After seven years on the island, he had served his country and organization well but had disappointed his parents.

Despite their efforts to introduce him to several potential partners, he rejected them all.

Then he received a letter with a photo of a girl.

"Here's a potential match for you, a lovely and gentle girl."

Indeed, she was beautiful and gentle, stirring Jiang Shaoyu's heart after twenty-six years of solitude.

Yet, remembering the harsh island life, he firmly declined.

But before he could send the rejection letter, the girl arranged for by his family had already arrived on the island with his subordinates, who jokingly called her "sister-in-law."

His mother was right; the girl was indeed beautiful — with skin like jade and eyes that sparkled.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Shaoyu."

...

Dressed sharply in military uniform with cold and resolute features, he looked at her with polite rejection.

"Comrade Meng Yan, you still have a chance to change your mind. If you can't bear the island's conditions, I'll have my subordinates send you home."

Meng Yan looked at the vast blue sea behind him and the desolate land, clenched her fists, and declared firmly:

"No regrets. Comrade Jiang Shaoyu, I've made up my mind to be with you!"

Meng Yan transmigrated into a cannon fodder supporting character in a period novel.

In the subsequent plot, Meng Yan was supposed to marry the paranoid supporting male character and endure a repressive and violent marriage.

Honestly, that officer had a good personality and was quite handsome. No regrets there.

Little did she know, after landing on the island, she discovered it was nothing like the barren and desolate place she imagined!

Coconuts, mangoes, guavas, occasional sightings of wild animals…

Gathering clams, crabs, and small octopuses by the shore with her partner…

Barren land? Scarce freshwater? No vegetables to eat?

Then let's cultivate the land together and build a beautiful island! <<less

The eldest brother of the Tang family, Tang Xu’en, has recently been very troubled.
His youngest brother, Tang Yuan, had suddenly brought a boyfriend home! And even expressed that they are dating with marriage in mind!
The three brothers had lost their parents at a young age and his two foolish brothers had been raised and brought up single-handedly by Tang Xu’en. Despite nearing thirty, he himself wasn’t married and he had never been in a relationship either.... more>>

Tang Xu’en went to find his good friend, Ji Wei, for a drink—--
“So it turns out Xiao Yuan likes men. What does it mean when a man likes another man? What kind of book should I read to know more about this?”
“That man is so old, he’s four years older than me! But he seems to be very rich. When I searched him online, he was on the ‘Billionaires List’. He’s from a completely different world from us. You come from a good background yourself, do you know him? Can you help me look into what kind of person he is? I’m afraid of Xiao Yuan being deceived.”
“Xiao Yuan, that child, is such a fool. He even said at the table that he thought you and I were a couple seeing how well we got along with each other and how we would always go out to play together. That was why he felt comfortable coming out to me.”

The alcohol had made his cheeks flush red and head dizzy. He softly continued, “Xiao Yuan is really talking nonsense. He actually said that you like me. Wouldn’t that tarnish your reputation?”
Ji Wei drank from his glass and said calmly, “Firstly, you should change your way of thinking. Even if I really did like you, it would not tarnish my reputation. You shouldn’t regard liking a man as a bad thing.”
Tang Xu’en nodded blankly.
Ji Wei continued as he helped pour him another glass, “Besides, someone as good as you deserves to be liked.”
Tang Xu’en blushed at this praise of his. Feeling embarrassed, he turned his attention to drinking.

The next day.
When Tang Xu’en woke up, he found himself sleeping on the same bed as his good friend, Ji Wei.
He only vaguely remembered that last night, Ji Wei had said that he would tell him what it meant for a man to like another man. He had readily accepted this offer and even praised Ji Wei, saying that he was truly his best friend.

NB: There is a play on words in the title. ‘Tang’ is the surname of the three MC’s in this novel and it also means soup.
