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.

[Not Serious Version Synopsis]:... more>>

As soon as Lin Ze opened his eyes in this parallel world, he found himself holding a young man. Thinking he was dreaming, Lin Ze decisively devoured the person in front of him, who seemed enticing.

The next day, upon waking up, he realized that the “dream” was real!

It turns out that the young man beside him is his husband, using modern terminology…

[Serious Version Synopsis]:

Transported to a world as a destitute and foolish poor scholar, Lin Ze faces a fierce mother, a cunning younger brother, and a helpless original body that can’t shoulder responsibilities or lift a finger. Now, in order to please his “former lover turned future younger sibling,” he has to sell off his hardworking and capable husband.

This infuriates Lin Ze, a single dog from the modern era.

In his previous life, he never found a suitable bride until his death, and now this original body wants to sell off his wife? And the wife is an obedient, sensible, hardworking, and exceptionally beautiful young man who is perfect in his eyes.

To sell off such a good wife, whom the original host doesn’t touch or like, is an earthly tragedy that he absolutely cannot tolerate!

From then on, the sour scholar from Heba Village transforms into a knowledgeable, money-making expert who dotes on his wife, while also being an ambitious rural man.

Villager A (in shock): He’s here again! That Lin guy from the Lin family is walking around with his wife and carrying his child. Everyone, quickly come up with words of praise for his wife and son, or we’ll be beaten again!

Villagers (whimpering): Oh no, we have to come up with a different compliment every day, without repeating, racking our brains to bully people…

Villager B (in awe): It’s over, it’s over! That Lin guy passed the imperial examination and has come back to our county to become the county magistrate. Everyone, quickly line up and clap your hands to welcome him, or else we’ll be beheaded!

Villagers (whimpering): Oh no, why won’t this guy leave us alone…

“I took a leave of absence. What about you, Yeonwoo?”

Yue Qianling secretly admired Gu Xun for a long time, and finally confessed her feelings to him just before his graduation. ... more>>

There were countless girls in the school who had a crush on Gu Xun, but he had a slight impression of Yue Qianling.

Facing her sincere confession, Gu Xun suppressed his impatience and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t like you, and I will never like you.”

It was raining heavily that day, even heavier than the day when Qi Gui was beaten to death. Yue Qianling returned to her dorm, logged into the game, and after angrily taking down 18 opponents, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

For once, her usually aloof, high-scoring teammate took the initiative to worry about her, “What’s wrong with you?”

Yue Qianling replied tearfully, “Buhoooo… I got dumped.”

Her teammate hesitated for a moment, then turned to his dormmates with a smile, “I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight.”

Dormmate: “What’s the big occasion?”

During highschool, the second most courageous thing Zhou Anran ever did was, on a day when Chen Luobai looked upset, she secretly placed two lemonsoda candies on his desk.... more>>

At that time, he was the proud son of heaven sought after by everyone.

She was an ordinary classmate whose name he couldn’t even remember.

Later, they met again in university. Zhou Anran who had to fight for her life to even get into the top university, was still as inconspicuous as ever in a sea of academic prodigies, while Chen Luobai instantly became the talk of the town the moment he entered the school.

Zhou Anran thought she would never cross paths with him again, but one time in an elective course, Chen Luobai placed two pieces of the very same lemonsoda candies on her desk.

“Have you ever tried this candy?”He seemed to ask casually.

Zhou Anran’s heart jumped, she lowered her head, not answering the question.

Chen Luobai added, “I came to know this candy because someone in high school secretly put two pieces on my desk before. While others stuffed love letters into my desk, that person just put two candies on my desk, but—”

He paused.

Zhou Anran couldn’t help but to tilt her head to look at him, at once, her gaze was met with the boy’s smiling focused eyes that were staring back at her, as if he was trying to convey something.

“It’s pretty sweet.”

The same words he would later say on the night he kissed her for the first time.

Gu Jia Nian failed the college entrance exam and went to her grandmother’s house in the countryside for summer vacation.... more>>

She accidentally entered a villa covered in creeping plants and inhabited by a recluse known by the villagers as someone who never left their house and avoided the light.

Children even secretly called him a vampire behind his back.

As the vacation came to an end, she did two things: discussing with her parents about retaking the exam and confessing her feelings to him.

One succeeded, the other failed.

Two years later, Gu Jia Nian studied diligently in the competitive Chinese literature program at a prestigious university.

In a literature appreciation class, the professor assigned a reading list, with nearly half of it coming from a rising star novelist—who had won major literary awards with a full-length novel and a series of medium-length novels.

Gu Jia Nian sat in the library at 2 a.m., opening the preface of that full-length novel.

It began:

“Rough start, with over a dozen interruptions due to the erosion of romantic fantasies by harsh reality. Until one day, she knocked on my door, cleared the messy Chinese hawthorn outside, and handed me a box of pastries. From then on, light poured in.”

Guide for newcomers:

The male lead falls for the female lead after she comes of age.

They get together after she retakes the exam.

Six-year age gap, Student-Teacher Relationship (SC).

Told from the perspective of Chi Yan.

After deleting the twelfth draft’s beginning, someone with no sense of timing suddenly knocked on his door.

He opened it with a frown and found a shy high school girl standing outside, with big eyes, fair skin, and a box of cookies in her hands.

Due to family obligations, he reluctantly put an end to his reclusive life and started taking care of this girl who had been crushed by the pressure of the exam.

He let her read at home.

Gave her a key.

Accompanied her to doctor appointments.

Accompanied her on shopping trips.

Comforted her, encouraged her, praised her…

The girl was polite and sensible, but she never called him “brother.”

Finally, as her summer vacation came to an end and she was about to start retaking the exam, she awkwardly confessed her feelings to him.

“…”

Chi Yan glanced at her. “Let’s talk about this after you finish your exam.”

After the second year’s exam ended, Chi Yan sent her a text on WeChat, calculating the time the results would be released.

“How did it go?”

A long while later, she replied, “Well, I did great.”

Followed by another message: “Thank you, Brother Chi Yan.”

Chi Yan, brother.

“…”

Damn, it’s easier to be deceived as you grow older. <<less

Xue Youka bit the ice cream and nodded happily: “Brother, this is delicious! Buy me another one?”

Qi Xueyao: “I paid you three years’ rent for a 10-square-meter room. Why don’t you move your whole family in?”

Since I was all about fooling around and waiting for death, why not become a rich second-generation with no morals? <<less
