    • Not Dead, Just a Minor Illness Cover
      by Raine

      “Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy – The patient unconsciously fabricates illnesses in others to satisfy their desire to care for the sick.”

      *

      Everyone believed Shen Yu was a victim of Qi Fang’s power struggle. Only a few knew this marriage was orchestrated by the Second Young Master Qi after years of unrequited love – and two years into their marriage, he hadn’t even stepped foot in Shen Yu’s bedroom.

      Teased by his friends, the Second Young Master Qi felt no shame. Instead, he began to brag:

      “Simping? Nonexistent. Shen Yu’s been clinging to me these past two days. He not only helps me dress but also prepares loving lunches.”

      Qi Fang opened the lunchbox in front of everyone and solemnly held up the loving note Shen Yu had written for him. He glimpsed the elegant handwriting:

      [Qi Fang, 27 years old, middle-aged dementia, persistent episodes. If you notice any abnormalities in the patient, please call xxxxxx immediately. Thank you very much.]

      *

      Shen Yu had recently contracted a strange illness, always believing Qi Fang was sick.

      Flu, fractures, heart disease, middle-aged dementia… Hearing these nonexistent ailments, Qi Fang angrily slammed the table, collapsed on the spot, and immediately had an “episode.” He wouldn’t get up unless Shen Yu kissed him.

      By playing the role of a qualified patient, Qi Fang enjoyed various peculiar “attentive” care. His life was prosperous. It was just a matter of time before he could step into Shen Yu’s bedroom door.

      Until one day, Qi Fang discovered Shen Yu calmly logging into a mysterious website, earnestly asking on a medical website:

      [Married for two years without having sex, I suspect my partner has an incurable male problem. What should I do?]


      ◆ Slightly popular cold and slow shou x loyal wife-protecting silly gong

      ◆ The disease names aren’t fictitious, but most symptoms and treatments in the text are fabricated. Please don’t apply them to real life. This is a silly story with flawed logic, meant for light reading. *bows*

    • 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.

    • I Thought You Were My Boyfriend, But You Treated Me As Your Victim Cover
      by Raine

      Gong’s POV:

      When Gu Yunjue first laid eyes on Shen Qingyan, a junior, during his freshman orientation, he was completely stunned by his beauty. It was the first time he had ever felt attracted to someone, and that someone happened to be a man.

      Determined to win Shen Qingyan over, he resorted to aggressive pursuit, threatening him with expulsion and withholding his degree. However, as days passed, seeing Shen Qingyan’s quiet endurance made Gu Yunjue waver. Perhaps… he had done something wrong…

      In the end, Gu Yunjue left Shen Qingyan a large sum of money and fled abroad to study.

      Two years later, when he returned home, Shen Qingyan threw himself into his arms and complained, “So you finally remembered to come back. Did you forget about your boyfriend?”

      Gu Yunjue: “?”

       

      Shou’s POV:

      Shen Qingyan was pursued by a tall, handsome underclassman. His heart fluttered, and every day felt like being soaked in honey.

      But he discovered with some distress that his junior seemed to prefer seeing him in being forced. However, it didn’t really bother him. In fact, he found it more thrilling that way.

      After dating for one semester, his junior suddenly went abroad to study, leaving him a large sum of money. It must have been meant to ensure he kept himself “pure” during his absence…
