      by Raine

      Qi Feng grew up in a music hall, learning music skills and the six arts1六艺 (liù yì) – This term refers to the six arts, which were considered essential for a gentleman in ancient China. They include rites, music, archery, horsemanship, writing, and mathematics.. He was exceedingly handsome with a warm and gentle temperament, and a small mole on the corner of his lips that was particularly alluring. Many wealthy and powerful people looked forward to his coming-of-age, hoping to buy him out and keep him in a warm chamber.

      One day, he was forced by a powerful official to go with them, but a young general who happened to pass by saved him. Qi Feng asked, “How can this slave repay the general?”

      The general’s face was cold and proud, but his ears were red. He said, “When I come back victorious, can you play a song of Feng Qiu Huang2“凤求凰” (Feng Qiu Huang). It is a Chinese folk song that has been passed down for thousands of years. The song tells the story of a phoenix that seeks its mate, and it has become a symbol of love and loyalty in Chinese culture. for me?”

      Qi Feng smiled. Among his admirers, not all of them were hateful people.

      But three months later, he received the news that the general died on the battlefield.

      When he woke up again, he had been reborn a thousand years later as a small-time celebrity in the entertainment industry, being harassed and forced in a nightclub.

      Qi Feng wanted to escape, and suddenly he saw a man sitting in the corner of a private room. The man was exactly the young general who had saved him and made him wait for several months.

      Pei Yan was forced to go to the nightclub by his friends, sitting alone in the corner smoking and passing time. A little star walked up to him and whispered, “Excuse me, can you take me away?”

      Pei Yan’s eyes turned cold and he was about to refuse. But when he looked up, he saw the boy’s handsome and gentle face, and the slight mole on his thin lips was particularly eye-catching.

      He couldn’t help but take the boy’s hand and bring him home.

      Everyone who knew Pei Yan knew that he had a white moonlight in his heart. The white moonlight had a mole on his lips. Pei Yan practiced self-discipline and abstinence for that man, never indulging in any romantic affairs.

      One day, there was a young and handsome boy with a faint mole on his lips by his side.

      Everyone said, “Ha, President Pei finally can’t stand loneliness and found a substitute.”

      At the same time, the little moonlight also learned the news.

      He rushed back to China and stood in front of Qi Feng, pointing to his lip, saying, “You should leave now.”

      Qi Feng packed his bags and left the Pei house neatly.

      Pei Yan learned that rumors about him had spread to Qi Feng and decided to go back home to explain to him.

      In order to make Qi Feng believe him, he even bought a pair of rings and roses.

      But when he arrived home, he saw that Qi Feng had disappeared without a trace.

      “Talented and versatile noble son who is currently experiencing hardship” Shou x “Cruel yet loving husband who is taciturn” Gong

    • Mushroom Cultivation Guide Cover
      by Raine

      As a researcher, Jiang Songshi diligently cultivated fungi.

      Divided into three sections, shaken on time, temperature precisely controlled…

      Then, the fungi went bad.

      In a fit of anger, Jiang Songshi went out to clear his mind and found a newly-formed wild mushroom.

      The little mushroom swayed its head, foolishly grinning at him.

      Considering mushrooms are also fungi, Jiang Songshi took the little mushroom home.

      His experience in the laboratory told him that mushrooms could easily go bad.

      So, the little mushroom’s clothes had to be the softest, its food the greenest, kept in the mouth for fear of melting, cradled in the palm for fear of dropping1含在嘴里怕化了,捧在手心怕摔了 (Hán zài zuǐ lǐ pà huàle, pěng zài shǒuxīn pà shuāile) – This is a figurative saying that is often used to describe parents’ excessive doting on their children. The metaphor is that if you care about something very much, you will not feel at ease no matter where you put it, which means that you care about it very much., Jiang Songshi raised the little mushroom with utmost care.

      But…

      The little mushroom didn’t seem to think so.

      Hey! Why does that person dancing wildly across the bar look so familiar?

      —-

      Wild Mushroom: (Shaking a wine glass) Let’s dance and have fun!

      Lab Mushroom: The culture dish temperature rose by 0.01 degrees, it’s dead.

    • Track Deviation Cover
      by Raine

      A dark, cold, and taciturn gong x a gentle, scholarly, and occasionally feisty shou beset by misfortune.

      He Chen x Xu Yuan.

      Xu Yuan grew up with praises for his family background, good looks, and pleasant personality. He believed no problem was unsolvable, until the day—he transitioned from an Alpha to an Omega, his family went bankrupt, his parents ran away, and he was sold by his friend…

      He had no idea what hell-level difficulty was until now, finding the absurdity somewhat laughable. After sleeping with his archenemy and love rival, he wished the King of Hell would come and take him away.

      His crush: “…He has always loved you, I thought you knew.”

      Xu Yuan: “…Huh?”

      His crush: “Xu Yuan, recognize your true feelings sooner.”

      Later, Xu Yuan realized that, when he was oblivious, He Chen had endured near-hellish suffering just to obtain the treasure bestowed by the Goddess of Fortune.

      Notes:

      1. The plot is common, even melodramatic; don’t focus too much on logic, it’s a bedtime short story.
      2. Proceed with caution if you’re an extreme control freak, and be ready to withdraw.
      3. Bittersweet taste, HE.
