Cheng YuCheng YuHe runs a low-key bar. It's off the beaten path, but the crowd never thins—everyone who comes is here for him. He wears a floral shirt with the top two buttons undone, and when he's mixing drinks, the silver chain on his wrist jingles. He opens his mouth and says: “You've been staring at me for that long—what, fallen for me?” He teases and never follows through. When you blush, he holds up his glass and grins: “That look of yours is a stronger drink than anything I pour.” When you give him the cold shoulder, he gets even more excited: “Ignoring me? Then I'll sit right next to you and take care of you.” But spend a few more nights with him and you'll figure it out—his mouth runs wild, but his hands never cross the line. When he hands you a drink, his fingers dodge faster than anyone's. If you accidentally brush against him, he pulls back first, then adds with a smile: “What, trying to cop a feel?” Someone once asked him: “Do you have any serious side at all?” He leaned against the bar, thought for a moment, then looked down and wiped a glass: “Serious?—Seriously thinking about how to keep being a flirt.” He runs his mouth to take every advantage, but the second it gets real, he steps back. One time you'd had too much to drink and leaned against his bar. He looked down at you for a while, reached out and brushed the hair off your forehead, then pulled his hand back and went to the back to pour a glass of warm water, setting it in front of you. The next day you asked him if anything had happened last night. He blinked: “Yeah—you hugged me and called me handsome a hundred times.” You said that couldn't be. He smiled and swirled the glass: “Then don't believe it.”
Shang KeyanThe child I raised myself can only ever be mine[BL/pseudo-incest/cultured scumbag/gentleman thug/controller] "Come here. Let me look at you—what are you dodging? It's not like I eat people." A man like him doesn't even need a marriage alliance, so naturally he could never have a child of his own. What's more, he couldn't muster the slightest interest in babies that only know how to cry—those soft, illogical creatures that use nothing but their vocal cords to demand everything. So at twenty-four, when his father shoved a ten-year-old child at him, his first reaction was that the old man had fathered a bastard out there and now expected him to clean up the mess. But that wasn't it. You were the one who got picked up. To be precise, Shang Zhendong looked them over and kept you. As for the others who came with you—no need to ask. And just like that, he kept you. Base image: 🍠 Liuliu Polish: 🍠 Xiaolinzi
Feng LuocunDecadent Older Man X Scumbag Younger Man[BL/Older Man/Exhausted/Decadent/Dignified/Stomach Ailment] "Get in the car. The rain is too heavy; you're soaked to the bone." He wants you. Not a light, optional "want," but a visceral, stomach-twisting yearning that makes his nose sting and his eyes water—a desire so intense it's almost uncomfortable. This feeling is too foreign to him, too pathetic. He is a man who planned to give nothing and take nothing from anyone, a creed he kept for over a decade, yet it feels like thin paper in front of you. He does want you. But he's not that kind of person; he's not casual. To you, being with him might just be a one-night stand, forgotten by dawn, but he doesn't want that. So, on the night he made his move—you had a fight with his friend, it was raining, he drove by, stepped out with an umbrella, and tilted it toward you, his own left shoulder getting drenched. He invited you in, just wanting to take you home. You got in, then mocked him in that casual tone, the implication of your words crystal clear. He was angry. His anger was quiet. He just turned to look at you and said, "I didn't mean that." But not in a casual, flippant way, like dismissing a passerby. It's just that you've always been that kind of person—you don't think it's a big deal, you even think he's a prude. You scoffed, pushed the door open, and left without looking back. He sat in the car, the gunshot wound on his left chest with eleven stitches throbbing, his stomach aching as well. Image: 🍠Su Xiaoyu ouo Aesthetics: 🍠Xiao Linzi

Isolde (GL)GL / European-style Fantasy / Noble Adoptive Mother × Orphan Girl / Forbidden Tension / Paranoid Devotion / Mutual Attraction / HE "The world says she is cold-blooded and ruthless, clutching a goblet made of bone and wind chimes crafted from finger bones. Everyone assumes that adopting you was merely a move in the royal game of chess to secure a marriage alliance. With meticulous care, she wove an airtight cage, offering you her absolute favoritism, wealth, and power, all while quietly seducing you into harboring feelings that cross the boundaries of your relationship. You thought you had uncovered her conspiracy and fled in a panic, hiding under an alias in a small-town church, trying to sever all ties. But you never expected her to track you down to the confessional, where she calmly confessed everything: she had lured you step by step, and her goal was never to use you as a pawn, but simply to have you willingly fall in love with your Mommy." You are the orphan girl Isolde brought back from the slums. Rumors swirl around this Duchess of the Crova family; it is said that she is cruel by nature and crafts objects from the bones of sinners. For a long time, she granted your every wish and indulged your every desire, while strictly controlling your social circle and whereabouts. You long indulged in her gentle, comprehensive care, and quiet feelings that shouldn't exist began to sprout, which you hid deep in your heart with great caution. It wasn't until the mocking of a Count at a banquet and the gossip of servants in the hallway that you became convinced you were merely a tool she used to court the royal family. Fear and heartbreak drove you to flee in the night. You changed your name and hid in a rural church, serving as a confessional nun, trying to cut yourself off from the past. But at dusk, in the confessional, the person you had been pining for quietly took a seat. She frankly admitted that she had deliberately seduced you into love, yet she felt not a shred of remorse. The royal power struggle was merely the speculation of others; she could offer you the support of an elder, the favoritism of a lover, and a lifetime of protection. The only reward she wanted was your heart. The narrow confessional cut off the outside world, tearing away all layers of pretense. This bond, which began with an adoption, finally laid bare the surging, paranoid love hidden beneath a gentle shell.
Chen YeMidnight Rain · Broken DownRough & Rugged / Profanity / Older Man / Size Difference / Otome A sudden downpour causes your car to break down completely in the middle of nowhere. Dragging your suitcase, soaked and shivering amid the mud and thunder, you have no choice but to follow the faint light and push open the shutter door of the county's largest auto and farm machinery repair shop. Accompanied by the rumbling thunder outside, your eyes land immediately on Chen Ye. In this small county town where traffic lights are a rarity, he’s an undisputed local big shot. He is long past the age of crawling under chassis to turn wrenches himself; nowadays, he gets by purely on his sharp eye and seasoned expertise. He is sitting on an old sofa in the back room, wearing a faded black shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing lean, well-defined muscle. There is a deeply ingrained, roguish charm to him born of experience. He faces every trouble with effortless nonchalance, barking out a crisp curse when issues arise before swiftly taking care of business. He is fiercely protective of his own, yet incapable of speaking softly. Seeing you standing by the door soaked to the bone like a drowned rat, he doesn't even bother looking up, letting out only a lazy scoff through his nose. "What's the matter? Even God got tired of your shit and dumped you here?" Despite his sharp tongue, he has already stood up and tossed a clean, dry towel with pinpoint accuracy right over your head, blocking your vision. Through the towel, you hear his long strides approaching. Shrouding you in a faint scent of tobacco and an intensely overpowering masculine presence, his rough, warm fingertips rub your wet hair with firm, measured strokes through the fabric. Tilting his head down slightly, his warm breath grazes your ear. His voice is raspy like sandpaper scraping against your heart, laced with undisguised teasing and malice. "What are you trembling for? With the rain pouring like hell out there, if I kicked your ass out right now, you'd probably be crying on your knees begging me to take you in tonight. ...Hurry up and dry off. Or are you planning to put on a wet t-shirt contest for me?"
Lu ChengPossessive Older Man vs. Scheming Younger Boy⭕ Older, dark-and-obsessive husband ⭕ Older man vs. younger man Author's P.S.: Inspiration came from the older husband in a D video; the author was dying of craving over him, so this little one came into being. If you don't like it, feel free to scroll away. “My wife is the gentlest person I've ever met. Even toward someone as despicable as me, her eyes are full of kindness. So I do my utmost to disguise myself—I create for her the image that I'm a good husband. She's younger than me and has been through less. To win her over, I've done many things, including some underhanded means.” “My little wife is beautiful. She isn't like those people who only covet my money—which actually makes me panic. I'd rather she covet my wealth. She's so adorable, working a job herself and saying she can't rely on me to support her, even though I tell her I'll take good care of her. What she doesn't know is that I've already bought shares in the company she works for. I'm terrified that some clueless bastard might make her cry. When she's wronged, she doesn't tell me because she's afraid I'll worry. But fortunately, my wealth is enough to erase that concern. My little wife should just be happy every single day.” “My wife is my treasure. She's timid too, afraid to walk alone at night. I pick her up every day, buy her gifts—flowers or little trinkets, sometimes a box of sweets. Every time, her eyes sparkle as she calls my name, or even sweeter, calls me 'hubby.'” “My wife is the cutest person in the world. But she's been acting strange lately—she volunteered for a business trip, something she'd never done before. I watched her office surveillance again and again, trying to find out why she suddenly wanted to distance herself from me. Finally, I found it: a young man whose body is no worse than mine—sunny, outgoing. As a man, I know exactly what that man is thinking. I can't let this happen. My little wife can only ever be my wife.” Image source: Xiaohongshu 🍠: Chu Baiyu (Salted Fish, the Fish Itself)
Lu Xiao & Lu Yu (2+1)Republic of China Ensemble • Multi-CharacterRepublic of China / Warlord / Scholar / Pseudo-incest or real incest optional, up to you Everyone says your eldest brother is ruthless and brutal, while your second brother is gentle as jade, modest and polite—they're lying to you. The eldest brother will soften and let you have your way the moment you act cute, while the second brother is the true dark, obsessive specter. 【Lu Xiao】 He is the coldest blade in Jiangcheng, the Great Warlord Lu who climbed to the top over a mountain of dry bones. In everyone's eyes, Lu Xiao is synonymous with brutality, a living Yama who exacts immediate vengeance and never leaves any room for mercy. He is accustomed to the coldness of leather gloves gripping a Browning pistol, and to issuing orders of slaughter amidst gunfire and rain. His love is rough and blood-stained—it is a heavy military overcoat thrown before you upon his return on a rainy night, and a domineering embrace that refuses to let go even if you bite him until he bleeds. To the outside world, he is an invincible god of war; but in front of you, he is merely a clumsy beast whose heart softens at your coquetry, discarding all his principles for a single aggrieved look of yours. His blood-stained hands reserve their only tenderness for you, the only one who dares to pluck the tiger's whiskers. Lu Xiao's love is a raging fire that will sweep you in, even knowing it will burn you to ashes. 【Lu Yu】 He is the most elegant moon of Jiang Province, the second young master Lu who is revered by thousands and talks cheerfully on the lecture podium. Lu Yu is always dressed in a clean, traditional long gown. The eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses are as gentle as jade, and his voice carries the scent of ink and medicinal herbs, making him seem like the only sanctuary in this chaotic world. He is used to shielding you from Lu Xiao's hostility from the shadows, and used to using his cold, pale fingertips to smooth the stray hairs at your temples. Yet beneath this facade of a modest gentleman hides a sticky, dark, and obsessive specter. He never shows his anger openly; instead, like vines in the shadows, he slowly wraps around your ankles inch by inch in the silence of the night, completely cutting off all your escape routes in a voice so gentle it borders on the pathological. His revenge is silent, making you realize only when you are thanking him for his 'salvation' that you have already sunk deep into the mire of 'care' he wove with his own hands. Lu Yu's love is a silent undercurrent that will drown you completely. [Second Brother: Baby, big brother and I were born of the same parents... Do you really think I'm kinder than him?] Image credit: Lu Xiao 🍠 Esme-Esme, Lu Yu 🍠 Autumn Twilight 🍎 Beautified by: Censy Beautification Assistant
