Latest Shounen Ai Novel

The distance of a perfect stand-in is the distance of a secretary.

Secretary vs. stand-in (if there’s something, the secretary will do it, if there’s nothing, do the secretary……cough, be done by the secretary)

Shen Qing was infamous in his village as a fierce ger who no one wanted to marry. After being “kicked out” of his home alongside his mother by his biased grandparents and a father who was desperate for a son, he had no choice but to make a living by selling firewood.

One day, while chopping wood in the mountains, he encountered a wild boar. In a panic, he fled into a cave, only to discover that on the other side of the cave was an entirely different world.

This world was overrun with decaying zombies, mutated animals, and strange plants-but what caught Shen Qing’s eye was the shimmering gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, and luxury watches spread out on a street market stall…

And the price? Just one steamed bun.

Clutching a sack full of buns, Shen Qing swallowed hard. He wasn’t just interested in the treasures at the stall-he also had his eye on the handsome, foolish-looking man squatting behind the table with clear, naive eyes.

…

Song Kaiji had struggled for nearly a year in the apocalypse, tirelessly searching for his lost family members. Every day, he set up a stall at the flea market, hoping to gather news.

Unexpectedly, a moment of kindness led to an unexpected windfall-not only did someone finally buy the “junk” he’d been hoarding, but he also latched onto a golden thigh (backer), got himself a wealthy sponsor, and soared to the top of his life.

“Everything on this stall-gold, jewelry, jade—all for just two catties of rice! Two catties of rice, and you won’t regret it! Two catties of rice, and you won’t be scammed!”

“What about the stall owner? Are you for sale?”

“Limited edition. Only available for Shen Qing.”

After the rain clears, the sky stretches endless and blue.

Reading Guide:

1. The cave connects two worlds. The protagonist travels between them, with the primary setting in ancient times and the secondary in the apocalypse.

2. Alternate universe. The ancient world consists of three genders: men, ger, and women. The protagonist is a ger, and there will be mpreg (male pregnancy) later.

Ning Mingmei finds himself transmigrated into a dark-themed cultivation novel, taking on the role of the unfortunate ‘cold and aloof master’ destined to be killed by his disciple, the male protagonist, who will use his death as a stepping stone to achieve immortality.

The death? Tragic. Very, very tragic.

Even worse, he’s bound to a system that insists he must play the role of the cold master to perfection, redeeming the disciple and saving the world—or eliminating the disciple and escaping with his life.

The blackened male protagonist is still 20 years away from arriving at the sect.

Unbothered, Ning Mingmei ignores the system’s nagging and spends a long moment staring at the peak’s roster… before deciding to hold a group meeting.

Then, he enters the sect’s library.

…And assigns every disciple the task of categorizing and studying the library’s contents over five years, submitting weekly reports, and monthly reviews. Performance evaluations would determine their scholarships and failing to meet expectations would delay their graduation.

With 20 years before the male protagonist’s arrival, Ning Mingmei decides to speculate on real estate around the peak, build houses, and promote the benefits of home ownership, to ensure the male protagonist will enter the peak saddled with a mortgage.

Then the male protagonist can work off his debt as a research assistant.

In 3 years, Ning Mingmei finishes reading everything in the entire sect library.

In 5 years, he establishes the sect’s academic journal.

In 10 years, he encourages sects across the cultivation world to create their own journals.

In 15 years, he founds the first journal in the cultivation world, ‘Science’.

In 18 years, with academic conferences and journals flourishing, he launches the first patent office in the cultivation world.

When the male protagonist finally enters the sect, Ning Mingmei orchestrates a massive inflation wave and introduces futures markets.

200 years later, the cultivation world collectively realizes that practicing cultivation and using registered techniques requires paying intellectual property taxes to the patent office. Even demonic cultivators aren’t exempt, as cross-border enforcement tracks them down.

No matter their nature, genius or lunatic, everyone now focuses on academic research, paying taxes, pursuing higher education, and trading stocks. No one bothers forming evil organizations alongside the male protagonist anymore, as originally written.

Dating? Forget that. Becoming a research advisor is far more rewarding.

Using knowledge to dominate and save the cultivation world? That’s precisely what Ning Mingmei was born to do.

Now, his only dilemma is figuring out how to delay the male protagonist’s graduation by another 20 years, just before the male protagonist finds ways to escape and starts causing trouble again. After all, the male protagonist is undeniably a productive researcher.

Chen Zhiyu is a wealthy boss, the richest man in the world.

He was abstinent and conservative. Handsome in appearance, clean, and always at the top of the cantaloupe rich list.

Because the family business has always been handed down to a single heir for the past nine generations, Chen’s parents are always pushing for marriage and birth.

Chen Zhiyu: No marriage. After death, all the inheritance will be donated to the country!

The distant relatives looked forward to the extinction of the Chen family like vultures. They are waiting for the opportunity to adopt their grandsons into the Chen family to inherit hundreds of billions of yuan in inheritance.

One day, Mother Chen found Xia Qingshu, who was close to Chen Zhiyu, by the maternity unit leaning against the wall with morning sickness.

The Chen family boiled over. Mother Chen rushed to Xia Qingshu: “I’ll give you 100 million…”

Xia Qingshu quickly opened the payment code: “Auntie, I’ll buy a plane ticket right away, and make sure to stay away from your son.”

Mother Chen: “Marry my son, I’ll give you five billion, and also let the child be born!”

Mother Chen went wild, and gifts piled up on a mountain to welcome the new life.

Xia Qingshu: ? !

Xia Qingshu: “Auntie, I also can’t let go of the little life in my stomach… I don’t want the five billion, only the child. As for your son, I don’t want. ”

“Secretary, Is Xia Qingshu still spying on my whereabouts every day? ”

“President. Xia Qingshu has never appeared again.”

“Then is he not suffering?”

“…Xia Qingshu has become a top-notch streamer. Not only is he a popular anchor, he is also an upcoming movie star/top streamer, and the second richest person in the world. ”

“??”

“President, Xia Qingshu is on a blind date. He will never pester you again! ”

“….”

“Secretary, you are seeing things, right?”

Chen Qizhao was reborn and returned to the age of 18 when he was still the wicked little overlord of the Chen family.

At this time, his brother hadn’t experienced a car accident while his parents were in good health and weren’t seriously ill. The Chen family was still the prosperous Chen family and everyone thought he was a good-for-nothing who was useless and easily taken advantage of.

“He only knows how to quarrel with his older brother every day. He is arrogant and willful!”

“He looks good, but unfortunately, he is an idiot.”

“Isn’t he a useless person? Just serve him well.”

“It is a pity about that child of the Chen family.”

There were the group of scoundrel friends who were full of thoughts, the rats eyeing him covetously and the old, cunning people who were secretly scheming.

Chen Qizhao put on a mask of arrogance again. ‘Do you like acting so much? Why don’t we act together?’

It wasn’t until later that everyone discovered that at the end of the play, they would either go bankrupt or be imprisoned.

As the only girl born in the four generations of the Mo family – a prestigious and powerful family in Hua Xia – Mo Liu Gui has been adored since the day she was born. She is gorgeous, naive and intelligent. Behind her is the noble Mo family and by her side are countless excellent pursuers. Whether in career or relationships, she’s the heaven born life winner.

It’s a pity that Mo Di is not Mo Liu Gui but a tragic contrast of what one would call life winner.

He has been disliked by everyone in the Mo family since the day he was born. When he left the incubator, the whole family was competing for his sister but left him in the hospital corridor overnight. He never took a sip of his mother’s milk because it was just enough to feed one child. He has not been held by his father once because his father was extremely disgusted with the culprit who robbed his darling of nutrition in their mother’s womb.

His five brothers never looked him in the eye. When he was six years old, they even ganged up to beat him till he had a fractured right leg which almost left him permanently disabled, all because he scored first place in his grade while his sister scored third, making Mo Liu Gui sad to the point of crying.

Countless scolding, neglect, double standard treatment, and even ab*se in the name of education have been habitually done to Mo Di. Finally one day, the Mo Di who has been soft and obedient for eighteen years turned black.

He was no longer a soft and sensible man but had become gloomy and aggressive. He ran away from home, started his own company and made new friends. Everything is booming but when his company was about to go public, he was found by the Mo family. During a struggle with Mo Liu Gui who was asking him to come home, she fell and almost had a miscarriage. This incited everyone’s anger and they forced him into a mental hospital.

In the end, he died on his 25th birthday…

Afterwards, he was reborn.

The year Lin Zikui passed the provincial level imperial examination, his father arranged a good marriage for him, and the girl’s family took her to the capital.

Three years later, Lin Zikui’s father passed away. When Lin Zikui went to the capital to take the imperial examination, he remembered the arranged marriage and took the marriage documents to find the person.

Contrary to his expectations, the girl was taller, more handsome, broader-shouldered, and even had larger feet than him.

Lin Zikui tactfully said, “If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. We can cancel this marriage arrangement. I’ll tear up the marriage documents, and you can find someone else.”

The other person glanced at him and said, “I don’t feel forced.”

Lin Zikui hesitated before saying, “…Alright, then.”

On their wedding night, Lin Zikui realized something was wrong. “Hey? Wife, why are you a man?”

“I’ve always been a man.”

After saying that the “wife” rolled over and pinned him down.

Later, Lin Zikui passed the imperial examination. On the day of the palace exam, the young monarch sat on the dragon throne, with the all-powerful regent beside him.

Lin Zikui dared not look directly at the emperor, but the sound of the regent’s cough was very familiar. He couldn’t help but raise his head. Through his blurry vision, he saw someone he recognized, which terrified him. He couldn’t utter a word and eventually passed out on the spot.

The regent called for the court physician, saying, “When he wakes up, send him to my residence.”

PS: The protagonist is a highly myopic person from ancient times, so much so that they can only see people right in front of them, and even then, only as blurry outlines.

[It is said that historical figures like Li Bai, Emperor Yongzheng, Ji Xiaolan, Du Fu, Lu You, and Ouyang Xiu were all nearsighted.]

The story features a wolf in fox’s clothing, the regent gong & the timid scholar with small, squinting eyes shou.

Fang Chaozhou found himself transmigrating into a Danmei novel, as a character who had the exact same name as himself. He became the Second Brother of the Protagonist and he had no clue who the ML was.

In the original book, Fang Chaozhou loves the Protagonist and is madly in love with his Junior Brother; as he blocks swords for him, kills monsters for him, and bangs against any wall for him.

And now…

Fang Chaozhou: Forget it, there are too many suitors, I’d better wash up and sleep.

Since Fang Chaozhou gave up on pursuing his Junior Brother, the Protagonist’s other suitors saw that Fang Chaozhou had become enlightened. They became good friends with him, sharing their little secrets with him from time to time.

Suitor No. 1: Last time I picked celestial grass for Junior Brother and he said thank you.

Fang Chaozhou (surprised): Junior Brother must like you!

Suitor No. 2: Junior Brother went on a mission with me last time, and asked me to pay attention to my safety.

Fang Chaozhou (confirming): He absolutely likes you, as he didn’t run away.

Suitor No. 3: His clothes were torn when he fought the monster last time. I lent him my coat, but he didn’t want it.

Fang Chaozhou (touching his chin): I’m sure it must be because he likes you. He’s too shy.

…

Later, the Junior Brother came to his door.

His Junior Brother who has a beautiful face coldly asks: Second Brother, someone has been spreading rumors every day that I like others, does this mean he likes me?

Fang Chaozhou coughed twice: Junior Brother, if you have something to say, can you untie the immortal rope on my body first?

When Qi Xingchen transmigrated, he transmigrated into a fiction book set in the entertainment industry as cannon fodder and was lucky enough to have an entire family of cannon fodder.

The kind of cannon fodder whose names would only appear once on their tombstone and were all eventually killed off by the male protagonist.

With regards to this, Qi Xingchen understands that what goes around comes around. He only prays to go through the entire plotline such that he can return to the real world.

But when he understands his family’s style ↓↓↓

CF (cannon fodder) Dad: I bought a private airplane for you, it’s currently at the apron beside our family’s mine. Is that enough for you to play around for half a month?

CF older brother: Here’s a Hollywood co-production film and the hottest IP drama of the year. Pick one of the two.

CF younger brother: (Pressing the head of a paparazzi into mud water) Heh, dare to secretly take pictures of my older brother, and I’ll let you see the 3 am sun at the crematorium!

CF childhood friend: Xingxing’s graduation project was ridiculed by the entire internet? Teaching assistant, send some of my patented projects over to him to play with.

Hence, the Qi Xingchen who was never spoiled before waved his hands in tears: Isn’t it just killing off the popular male protagonist? All of you, don’t seek your deaths, let me do it instead!

Colonel K is a legend of the Omar Empire. He single-handedly destroyed the Star Pirates Warship, with mercilessness and cruelty, and everybody trembled at the mention of him. Lan Yu, dignified and elegant, the model of thousands of Omegas, mistakenly became the black-hearted Colonel K.

In order to keep the persona from falling apart, from then on he punches the intergalactic beasts and kicks the bandits’ out of their nests, tore a mecha to pieces with his bare hands, and the corners of his lips picked up in a cold smile. As an Omega who is thinking about getting a husband and having a child, Lan Yu feels like he’s suffocating.

But the good thing is that he was once a movie star, with his amazing acting skills, no one noticed any difference between him and Colonel K, whose name was used to stop children from crying.

Except for his nasty rival, Lu RanKong.

Lu RanKong could always find the “Interstellar Butcher” Colonel K’s unnoticeable changes.

With the corpses of Star Pirates under his feet, the ion gun leaning on his shoulder, his hand on his hand-knitted woolen holster. With the wind still in his face, a corner of his uniform’s shirt lifted, showing an embroidered yellow flower. With skin scuffed fingers, a grim, bloodthirsty smile, his eyes filled with tears.

At night, he would only fall asleep if he was holding a teddy bear? He drank the nutritional supplements with no expression, but the bottle was labeled with ‘orange’ and ‘mango’ flavors.

Lu RanKong slightly narrowed his eyes. Why did this black-hearted K become more and more like a ♥ K?

Yet he found the other man f*cking attractive!
