Synopsis

One sunny day, Shen Jingwei, a Z-list actor, received an opportunity to attend an open-call audition the very next day. It was for the role of an antagonist in a new BL C-Drama, "Dance Of The Dragons", which was adapted from a novel of the same title. He agreed to join the audition due to several factors, among which his manager's threat to jump off the 20th floor, his dire need for money, and also the fact that his rank in the film industry could not go any lower. One look at the panel of judges made him want to turn on his heel to leave, but it was all too late. Because who would expect the poor Z-List actor to meet his mortal enemy/ex-boyfriend, Yan Renzhong, the A-List Actor responsible for his decline long before he even learned how to fly? ------------------ "You and I... are playing a couple of lovers, who will go on to get married and have children with each other." Shen Jingwei could sense blood coming up his throat. What was the point of saying it out loud, again? "Yes," he forced himself to agree nonetheless. Yan Renzhong pinned him with a stare. "We have unresolved issues from the past. I hope you won't let them affect your and my performance in the drama. Act the professional you are supposed to be." "..." "And don't call me 'Emperor Yan' anymore." Yan Renzhong left after delivering one blow after another, not even waiting to see if Shen Jingwei succumbed to his injuries or not. What? Whattt? Whattttttttt?

Chapter 1Chapter 1 : The Handsome Butler Coffee Shop

The door swung inward with a soft groan. A delicate chime, suspended above the entryway, tinkled merrily, signaling the arrival of a newcomer.

"Welcome to the Handsome Butler Coffee Shop, Ladies!" A group of handsome, tall men in colorful suits said in unison as they beamed at the group of office ladies, who just walked through the door.

The oldest butler, known as the Head Butler, was a commanding figure, his masculine features sharp and precise. His long, dark blue hair, meticulously combed, was gathered into a sleek ponytail secured by a black ribbon. He cut an imposing figure in his formal attire, a vintage ensemble that seemed to have stepped straight out of a Shakespearean play.

This man stepped closer to the group of gushing newcomers, put a hand across his chest, and gave them a little bow.

"Good morning, ladies," the Head Butler began, his voice rich and smooth. "I'm delighted to welcome you to our humble establishment. Allow me to introduce myself; I am the Head Butler of this Handsome Butler Coffee Shop. Today, we have three exceptional gentlemen at your service."

Said three butlers quickly lined up in front of the three young ladies.

"First, we have Butler Luo, who will brighten your day even when it is raining heavily outside," he said, gesturing to the enthusiastic young man who waved excitedly.

"Next is Butler Yang, whose friendly demeanor is matched only by his impeccable service," he continued, pointing to the butler with the half-moon glasses.

"And finally, the charming and ever-gentle Butler Shen," he concluded, his gaze resting on the blond-haired butler who tilted his head to the side and offered the ladies his signature smile.

"You can only select one butler to serve you today. Please go ahead and make your pick."

The ladies were momentarily dazzled by the stunning lineup of handsome men before them, a spectacle nearly as blinding as the sun. However, one of them quickly regained her composure and, with a touch of hesitation, asked the Head Butler, "Excuse me, but is Butler Jin not supposed to be available today?"

Ah, the third visitor who asked the same question this morning.

Those who had keen eyes would notice the smiles on the butlers' faces falter for a split second, only to come back stronger than before, not unlike phoenixes reborn from their ashes.

"I am deeply regretful to inform the ladies that Butler Jin fell sick this morning and was thus unable to come," the Head Butler sighed as he shook his head.

It was a big, fat lie.

Everyone knew that Jin Zhuo received an invitation to a closed-call audition yesterday and begged Head Butler Wu for a whole day's leave.

"Oh..." the lady who popped the question was somewhat disappointed. She then turned to one of her friends and whispered, "According to Weibo*, Butler Jin is the number one butler in this coffee shop. But you know what, Yanran? It is your birthday after all. Why don't you pick the butler of your liking?"

Li Yanran, a newcomer to the coffee shop, was visibly nervous. Her gaze flitted between the three butlers, assessing each carefully. Meanwhile, the dazzling smiles plastered on the butlers' faces were beginning to strain their cheek muscles.

"I... I... I choose this one!" she finally announced, at which point the butlers almost exhaled out of relief. All except for the chosen one, of course.

Butler Shen Jingwei stepped forward and extended his hand to Li Yanran, who made a small shrieking sound when she placed her hand in Shen Jingwei's.

"Hello, my name is Shen Jingwei. I am honored to serve you today," he said.

Li Yanran's face was tinted the color of a fresh, ripe tomato.

"M-m-my name is Li Yanran, it is so very nice to meet you!"

The other ladies began to squeal and started introducing themselves one by one.

Honestly, the introduction was pointless, because the coffee shop received over two hundred visitors a day on average. The butlers only worked part-time, thus they couldn't possibly remember every visitor's name, especially those who only came by once in a while.

But of course, this was not something that Shen Jingwei would tell the lovely visitors. Instead, he led them to an empty table by the window, enough for six people to sit on.

"I heard that it is your birthday today," he said to Li Yanran after he pulled chairs for her and her friends.

"Yes! Yes!" Everyone cried out in unison.

Like a magician, Shen Jingwei flicked his hand and plucked a red rose seemingly out of thin air before handing it to Li Yanran, whose mouth turned into a perfect, round O in response. Of course, she was not the only one who fell victim to Shen Jingwei's charm.

"Oooooooh!" Everyone squealed in unison.

"Happy Birthday," Shen Jingwei murmured, his voice as soft and tender as a summer rain. His eyes, shimmering with a depth of emotion, held a gaze that spoke volumes of affection and care. "May your days be filled with sunshine, your heart with joy, and your life with abundance."

The Handsome Butler Coffee Shop enforced strict adherence to standard operating procedures for all its butlers.

First, charm the clients and make them fall in love with you.

Check.

Second, present the menu.

Shen Jingwei whipped out five booklets and distributed them among the ladies.

Third, sell yourself.

Author's note :

*Weibo = Chinese social media.

To be very honest, this author is so deeply immersed in finishing Ascension that initially, she did not want to join another CQ at all.

But the theme of the new CQ just has to be LGBT+!

*shakes fist at Webnovel for the very, very awful timing*

In an attempt to preserve my pride as one of the prevailing BL writers on this platform, this author *sobs* decides to join after all.

Please enjoy, and please support the author so she can win a CQ at last, wuwuwu...

P.S. : No, I am not dropping Ascension. In fact, I am writing the second to last arc, woot!!!

Jock Next Bed (BL)

College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had. Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.   He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone.  His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating. But then he realized two things: life was anything but easy without the backing of his last name. And... he wasn't sure how long he could last before he jumped his roommate, who was obviously not gay. But lust wasn't love, right? Maybe he could indulge a little? Just a little, I promise. ***** EXCERPT: "THAT ARROGANT, GOOD FOR NOTHING, DEMONIC IDIOT! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!" "O-kay... what is going on?" A friend asked him, watching as he paced around the room he just entered. "After battling for a long time. A LONG TIME!" he breathed heavily before continuing, "I... I confessed to him today." The other sat up, eyes wide. "For real?" "And then... with that stupid lollipop in his mouth, he just looked at me and said Okay. OKAY!" Gasps. "I didn't even know people said "okay" to love confessions, but he said "okay" to me!" -- Meanwhile, while he was there panicking, the one who had been confessed to remained seated where he was in the room. He had not moved an inch from that position since he got confessed to. But if one looked closely, they would notice how red his face was, up to the tips of his ears. He suddenly chuckled to himself. "That idiot," he muttered, looking at the door the other had taken.

Chasing And Claiming My Rejected Omega Mate:Alpha’s Severe Regret [BL]

Born an omega in a time where omegas are rare and unwanted, Rory lived a life whereby he was always a second option in every situation. Omegas couldn’t birth pups, so no one wanted to be mated to them, except to fuck them and move on. He thought he was lucky to be betrothed to an alpha who loved him, but after a shocking betrayal, his heart turned to stone. Fleeing for his life led him into the clutches of Jason, a dangerous, ruthless wolf. He loses his virginity to him and the morning after, he realized that this soulless Alpha is his fated mate. But, once again, Rory is reminded of his curse of always being a second option when he got rejected. As if that wasn’t enough, he soon realized his life is in immense danger. Rory then decides to run away and start afresh in a different country. One thing Rory didn’t expect to happen, was for him to end up pregnant weeks after fleeing! ~~~ Years later, Rory now has an adorable son. He wasn’t the timid omega he once was, because he had managed to rise to the very top. Along the line, he managed to open his heart up to Kenny, a cute Alpha who loved and cherished him wholeheartedly, leading him to live a contented life. But when he collides with Jason this time, he wants nothing to do with the alpha who rejected him in the past. Jason, an Alpha of Alphas, felt his wolf wilt away the day he rejected his omega mate. He tried making things right, but the pretty omega who smelled of wildflowers and vanilla had completely disappeared from the face of earth. Now that he had encountered Rory again, he wasn’t ready to receive ‘no’ for an answer, and he was ready to do whatever it takes to get the omega’s forgiveness. However, Kenny wasn’t ready to let go of Rory either! A fight for the omega’s heart, who’s gonna emerge the victor? And what if they decide to share instead? | - | e x c e r p t | -| “Arch for me, pup.” The dark alpha husked and more color rushed into Rory’s face as the order settled in his stomach. For the first time in his life, Rory was completely nude in front of a man. He had assumed losing his virginity was gonna be brisk, and that it was gonna happen in the dark. He never counted on it going down this way, with an alpha whose dark eyes made his weak kneed and tongue tied, whose voice made his insides clench up, and whose touch made slick gush out of him like he was a faulty faucet. He pressed his flushed face into the sandalwood smelling sheets, limbs trembling as he arched his back even more, till his ass was very high and his chest pressed into the bed as well. “There you go, that’s a good boy.” The Alpha growled out, hands reaching out to knead his hips, and when he delivered a spank on Rory’s ass, a stuttered whimper spilled past the pretty omega’s mouth, muffled in the sheets. Moments later, fingers were digging into the omega’s hair, jerking his head up just as another spank got delivered on his second cheek, and this time, there was nothing to muffle the high pitched sound and it filled the air in a melodic tune. “Don’t muffle those sweet sounds, gorgeous. I want to hear every sound you make, I need to hear you as you fall apart from pleasure in my bed tonight, and that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.” * Cover isn’t mine. If owner requests, I’d take it down.

 It all started with losing her mother, getting thrown into a boarding school, and then having the rumored witch-like princess of the kingdom desire her and want her by all means necessary. But it isn't the innocent type of desire she had expected. It's something much darker than she could ever handle.         ****  Sera didn't think her life would ever take a turn for the worst until her worthless father remarried her mother's half sister and, on her orders, sent Sera to a boarding school that was far off in a different kingdom—Elysium High, an all-girls academy for the most prestigious daughters in all of the seven kingdoms.    In Elysium, only the most powerful could survive, as even the prettiest and most innocent-looking faces had skeletons in their closests and would ruin anyone or anything that got in their way. Unfortunately for innocent and naive Sera, she would become the newest prey of Elysium, and everyone wants a piece of the beautiful redhead.     But what happens when the most unexpected person also takes an interest in her?   Electra's name alone was enough to get the entire school shaking in fear. Not only was she the only heir to the most powerful kingdom in the realm, she was also known as the cold-hearted queen of Elysium High. Nothing and no one ever caught Electra's attention, until the arrival of Sera, where everything changed.     And all it took was for clumsy Sera to bump into the most powerful one of them all.  *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+!
