The Captain Is a Sickly Beauty

[New novel, After Rebirth, the Universally Hated Sickly Beauty Becomes Everyone's Darling, updating daily!]

[Devoted Criminal Investigator Top × Frail Forensic Pathologist Bottom]

Pei Qingyu is a forensic pathologist who also serves as captain of the Special Cases Unit. But an injury sustained on a case six months ago left him with heart disease.

Everyone tells Pei Qingyu that his frail body cannot bear the responsibilities of a special cases captain. Everyone urges him to step back and work behind the scenes.

Everyone except his own deputy captain, Xun Yin-the only person who sees how unwilling he is to give it all up.

And so-

Case One: A trigger no one pulled, a missing bullet-

Pei Qingyu: "If its freezing point indicates that... mmph..."

Xun Yin: "Captain, it's cold at night. Put on a scarf."

Case Two: A crazed lover, sisters who save each other-

Pei Qingyu: "Cough, cough... Its vaporization temperature is approximately..."

Xun Yin: "Captain, the fumes are too harsh. Let me."

Case Three: A wealthy businessman gone astray, an obsessive mad dog-

Pei Qingyu: "A-Xun, come here with me..."

This time, however, Xun Yin smiles faintly and removes the hand supporting his waist. "Captain, if you can walk to the door by yourself right now, I'll go with you."

-At some point, the loyal hound has turned into a wolf pup, taking advantage of his illness to carry him straight to bed.

Xun Yin is Pei Qingyu's staunchest supporter and his most devout believer.

Next historical BL novel: I'm Dying, So Let Me Have My Way. Please bookmark it!

[Outwardly composed, inwardly fiercely protective and devoted top × Seemingly determined to die, actually genuinely dying, devil-may-care sickly beauty bottom]

Yun Qi, the eldest disciple of Mount Tiannan, is a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius across the Three Realms and Six Paths. Yet he has always been irreverent and unrestrained, as indulgent as any wastrel, earning the Council of Elders' disdain.

One elder declares that Yun Qi will inevitably fall to the demonic path and be rejected by all Six Paths.

"Falling to the demonic path hurts too much," Yun Qi says, lying across his junior disciple Xie Jingbo's lap and yawning lazily. "Maybe next life."

"There is no next life for you within the sect, Senior Brother," Xie Jingbo says evenly. "The elder means that if you turn demonic, he will personally lead the Six Paths against you."

"Ah..." Yun Qi pauses, then suddenly asks with a smile, "Would you join them, Junior Brother?"

Xie Jingbo lowers his eyes without answering. After waiting a moment, Yun Qi breaks into a grin. "I'm joking."

He yawns. "I'm sleepy. Go to this morning's class for me, Junior Brother."

Xie Jingbo falls silent for two seconds. "...But Senior Brother, you're the one teaching it."

Yun Qi: "...Oh."

-Yun Qi, Mount Tiannan's eldest disciple, fears pain and exhaustion above all else. Apart from teasing his junior brother, he spends every day idling about and sleeping.

Who could have imagined that a few years later, chaos would engulf the Six Paths, and Yun Qi really would turn demonic overnight, setting himself against all his fellow disciples?

Fortunately, at the final moment, Xie Jingbo single-handedly suppresses the demonic forces and becomes Mount Tiannan's new sect leader. Yun Qi, meanwhile, unexpectedly disappears with grievous injuries.

The Three Realms and Six Paths sing Xie Jingbo's praises for turning the tide. But rumor has it that he has spent years searching for someone.

·

After the war between the Six Paths, Yun Qi thought he would perish, his cultivation scattered into nothing.

Instead, when he wakes again, he has not only become an invalid who coughs up blood with every step, but has also been picked up by an icy archenemy.

His long hair spilling over his shoulders, Yun Qi kneels on the ground and tilts his head curiously. "Did you say you're my junior brother, or my mortal enemy?"

"But you look so familiar." Yun Qi looks up with a teasing smile. "You're my husband, aren't you?"

Xie Jingbo: "..."

-Mount Tiannan's greatest wastrel and former foremost genius has become a sickly amnesiac.

But Yun Qi, who considers every extra day alive a bonus, doesn't mind.

"Junior Brother, I'm sleepy." Half reclining in a tree, Yun Qi sleepily curves his peach-blossom eyes. "Will you carry me back to bed?"

Xie Jingbo walks up to the tree and strikes its trunk with an expressionless palm.

Yun Qi: "?"

He loses his balance and falls-only to land in a cold embrace.

But a moment later, his arms suddenly wind around Xie Jingbo's neck.

"You really do like me, don't you, Junior Brother?" Yun Qi asks with a smile. "When are we getting married?"

Xie Jingbo: "..."

Yun Qi originally assumed Xie Jingbo wanted nothing more than to kill him. To his surprise, this universally acknowledged archenemy seems to treat him rather strangely.

-Not only does he have no intention of killing him, he is trying every possible means to save him.

Unfortunately, apart from Xie Jingbo, his other former junior brothers hate him to the bone. One after another, they come seeking him, desperate to be rid of him for good.

Yet they discover that Yun Qi seems indifferent to whether he lives or dies.

Someone reveals that there was more to Yun Qi's fall to the demonic path than met the eye, and that he did not cause the chaos in the Six Realms.

But before anyone can uncover the truth, the man who always smiles suddenly curls up in Xie Jingbo's arms and wearily closes his eyes.

[Junior Brother, you once said that if I turned demonic, you would kill me yourself without hesitation. Why don't you dare do it now?]

[I saved the world, but the world betrayed me.]

Next novel: A Frail Bottom in the Wife-Chasing Crematorium. Please bookmark it!

[A scumbag in his previous life, reborn as a devoted, wildly possessive top × A genius doctor with heart disease who once took in a stray pup, only to be cared for by that pup after rebirth]

Both are reborn. The top must suffer to win back his love. Sickly bottom.

Su Jinnian's greatest regret in his previous life was taking Chu Wang home the year he graduated.

Back then, he was National Medical University's youngest medical genius. Though he had congenital heart disease, he was dazzlingly brilliant, free-spirited, and lonely.

He offended his advisor to make Chu Wang his junior fellow, then poured everything he had learned over the years into teaching him, despite his own serious illness.

All because Chu Wang said, "Big Brother, I want to learn what you've learned so I can cure you someday."

Then he watched Chu Wang take away his friends and his research, and look on indifferently during his heart attack, saying, "Aren't you the best doctor, Big Brother? If even you can't do anything, neither can I."

Su Jinnian loved to curve his peach-blossom eyes and open his arms to the silent Chu Wang, as though waiting for a lost puppy to find its way home.

Until that puppy grew into a wolfhound, bit him, pinned him beneath its body, and watched him die in despair amid endless agony.

·

Given another life, Su Jinnian makes peace with letting go.

He decides to avoid every possible intersection with Chu Wang from the very beginning.

-Yet, for some reason, nothing goes according to plan.

On the rainy night when he was supposed to take Chu Wang home, Su Jinnian instead sleeps like the dead in his own bed-only to inexplicably find a drenched Chu Wang outside his front door.

Lowering his eyes, he nudges the fever-stricken, unconscious Chu Wang with his foot. "Move. A good dog doesn't block the way."

Chu Wang props himself up and crawls a little to the side. "...Sorry."

As an outstanding senior fellow, Su Jinnian is put in charge of admissions. He tears Chu Wang's résumé to shreds right in front of him.

Propping himself on one arm, he raises an eyebrow. "The admission requirements aren't just for show. My advisor's group doesn't take trash."

Chu Wang crouches down and picks up every scrap of paper. "My fault. Don't get angry. Your health can't take it."

Su Jinnian works in the laboratory until he collapses and is hospitalized. Yet when he returns to campus, he finds that Chu Wang has somehow enrolled anyway.

He throws a cup of water in Chu Wang's face. "Pulling strings, Chu Wang? Have you no shame?"

Chu Wang calmly refills his cup. "None. But you need someone to take care of you."

Six months later, Su Jinnian has a heart attack and struggles amid a jumble of memories.

As Chu Wang approaches, he grabs a scalpel and presses it to his neck. "Come any closer... and I'll kill you."

This time, Chu Wang does not obey.

He lets the scalpel slice his skin and, amid the smell of blood, kisses Su Jinnian, forcing the medicine into his mouth.

Chu Wang's eyes are bloodshot. "Su Jinnian, you are not dying in front of me again."

After a moment's silence, Su Jinnian slowly curves his peach-blossom eyes. "Chu Wang, haven't you ever heard that a doctor cannot heal himself?"

[Reunited in these precious years, how dare we speak of forever?]
