4. Male lead is sick but not weak, his illness will get better!

——

In the martial world, she is a famous chivalrous heroine, and he is an elusive broker;

In the palace, she is the unruly youngest daughter of a general, while he is the crown prince walking on thin ice.

1.

Young Miss Jiang Kui of the General’s Estate, childhood name Little Full, pretends to be a delicate beauty during the day, but goes out killing bad guys at night.

Until the day a marriage contract ties her to the weak Crown Prince Xie Wuyan.

On their wedding night, the moment her husband lifts her red bridal veil, she presses a sword against him and chuckles: “Touch me and you die.”

The young husband lies back with closed eyes: “I’m at my wife’s mercy.”

She doesn’t notice his ears turning red amidst his disheveled hair.

2.

Crown Prince Xie Kang, courtesy name Wuyan, is rumored by all to be a sickly prince who won’t live past his coming-of-age ceremony.

Yet few know he is also the untraceable broker in the martial world, and fewer still know the woman who has captured his heart is a famous female heroine.

The day after his wedding, a little eunuch reports to him that the Crown Princess sneaked out of the palace at night to secretly meet someone at the bookstore in the East Tower.

Prince Xie waves his hand unconcernedly with a faint smile.

That night at the East Tower’s bookstore, the famous broker with quite a reputation in the martial world rests his chin on his folded hands as he gently asks the female heroine across the bamboo screen: “What do you think… of Xie Kang as a person?”

3.

Jiang Kui never thought the husband she deemed useless would one day fight through thousands of soldiers and horses to come to her.

He holds her bloodied body in his arms, takes her spear, stands tall amidst the storm of swords, and whispers tenderly in her ear: “My wife, it’s me.”

It’s you, she thinks hazily. It was you I met at Qujiang, you who laughed at me in the bookstore, you who drank with me, you who held me in the snowstorm.

Of the vast world, the one who came for me is you. It has always been you. <<less

"You're... now..."
"I'm not going to let senior sleep tonight."

With her eyes wide open, she looked at Jung-hoo nearing her.

"What are you doing?"
"Don't you usually scream? Aren't you going to scream?"
"Get out of the way, don't mess with me."

When he touched her lips, the lips suddenly opened and Jae-hee was surprised and tried to let go of his hand. However, Jung-hoo grabbed Jae-hee's hand and pressed it against his lower lip.

"I kept thinking about you."

His moving tongue touched Jae-hee's blunt calluses on the tips of her nails slightly. The hand holding her own was a fine hand without any callus. She was suddenly bothered by her calloused hand that was being held.

"What are you thinking about? I'm still speaking."

White teeth bit her itchy finger.

"Ugh..."
"Sleep with me. Sunbae just nod your head. I'll take care of the rest."

As I lowered my head gently, I could feel his black eyes examining my actions one by one. <<less

Yusheng was the heir to a centuries-old prominent family. His secret wife was an unremarkable hand model.

When his wife wanted a divorce, he readily agreed.

Chatting idly with friends over drinks, he said, "I'm just grinding down her temper. After some time, she'll come back on her own."

Later, eyes bloodshot from drunkenness, he begged her to remarry him. But on the other end of the phone was another man: "My wife just went out to buy deer antlers for me. Did Master Yu need something? I can pass along a message."

That day, Yusheng nearly died from those words.

His wife's seven years of love were stolen by Yusheng. No matter - if he could steal it once, he could snatch it back again.

He turned around and took over leadership of the Yu family in a high-profile move, armed with tremendous power and authority. Grabbing the man's collar, he said, "Either give her up or die. No one can oppose the Yu family."

The man laughed softly, answering with just four words: "The insignificant Yu family..."

It’s a pity that she never had the chance to say thank you to him.

Opening her eyes again, she returned to the very beginning, when the weak villain was thrown into the pile of zombies in front of her.

In her previous life, she was too busy to take care of herself and could do nothing. It was not until later that she knew what he had gone through in order to survive.

In this life, she resolutely picked him up from the crowd of zombies.

She said, “Let’s go.”

ـــــــ

When Li Chen was pushed into the group of zombies by his brother, he was full of absurdity and irony. He looked at the people hiding behind the group of zombies mockingly, and closed his eyes in a dull mood.

Then he was held by a hand, and the woman said to him in the sea of corpses and blood: “Let’s go.”

Since then, he never let go of those hands.

Li Zouxing is a gay man. A solid top, a gong, the real deal. Unfortunately for him, he transmigrated into a bg harem novel. ... more>>

The Journey is a popular web novel based on an intergalactic setting. The whole book is filled with the straight romance between one male lead and his harem of beauties. The male lead of the novel is actually over 30 years old, but after consuming a secret medicine his body regressed back to that of a teenager. This male lead is the perfect mix of shy and mature, passionate and innocent – all at the same time. No other person can unify all those conflicting traits as well as the male lead can.

Needless to say the male lead is exactly Li Zouxing’s type.

If only Li Zouxing could, then he would.

But the author told Li Zouxing: there’s no way for you to un-transmigrate yourself, this is a harem novel, the world setting doesn’t even have gay in its vocabulary, and on top of that you have to remain in character at all times.

And what kind of character is this Li Zouxing from the book? Nicknamed Sunny (Little Sun), known for being sweet but kind of dumb, the male lead’s best buddie, a loyal little underling for the mighty male lead. And worst of all – straight as they come.

And so, every time he witnessed the male lead’s domineering aura while wiping out all the bad guys, Li Zouxing would pay his due respects and act along with the rest of the crowd: “You’re so awesome!”

But in his head Li Zouxing is definitely thinking: damn this s**tty little thing, everytime he cooks he’s gotta wear that apron and tie it so tight around that tiny waist.

A waist that’s small enough for Li Zouxing to wrap his hands around.

For a gay guy, Li Zouxing’s always had pretty good luck with the ladies.

In a bar: Gu Wencheng watched as the woman with heavy makeup flirted with his best buddy. Gu Wencheng’s face darkened as the violent storm of emotions in his heart threatened to burst forth. For a moment, Gu Wencheng wondered if his controlling and possessive instincts are getting a little out of control.

It took a while for Gu Wencheng to realize that he was actually jealous of that woman.

But Li Zouxing, the one who turned him so weird in the first place, is actually an idiot that doesn’t understand anything – how could the idiot Li Zouxing know the effect that he has on Gu Wencheng? <<less

Quan Zhisui had to compromise, "Let's cooperate until the college entrance exam is over, but don't go looking for trouble when there's none."
