Beijing Under My Skin: Sex, Lies, and Corporate Chains

In the heart of Beijing, under the glittering skyline of progress and power, one man lives a double life. By day, he is a diligent employee in a state-owned corporation, navigating the suffocating maze of bureaucracy, hidden agendas, and tightly wound hierarchies. By night, he becomes a shadow, suppressing his true self as a gay man in a society where conformity is prized and secrets are currency. Bound by the golden chains of stability and cultural expectations, he teeters on the edge of self-destruction as his desires clash with the cold reality of corporate and societal demands. Through chaotic, erotic, and sometimes darkly humorous escapades, he discovers unexpected allies, unspoken rules, and the raw beauty of defiance. The novel chronicles his journey from being trapped—professionally, personally, and emotionally—to slowly reclaiming his freedom. Along the way, we are taken deep into Beijing's corporate culture, its forbidden love affairs, and the vibrant yet suffocating life of a man desperate to escape. This is a story of rebellion, identity, and liberation, set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most enigmatic cities. It is a daring exploration of love, ambition, and the price one pays for freedom. Raw, gripping, and deeply personal, *How I Escaped from Beijing: Odyssey of a Corporate Prisoner* is not just a journey out of a city—it’s a journey toward self-acceptance and truth.

My Best Friend is a Hybrid

It’s the year 2073, and everything has changed. New high-tech dominates almost all aspects of life. However, this has a dark side: unethical human experiments. 17-year-old Akira Cruz, the genius nephew of the president of the Philippines, was in the middle of grieving for his late best friend when he stumbled upon an abandoned orphan boy in the mountains while on a hike with his younger sister. That boy is Hachi Shimizu, a half-zombie, half-vampire who was disposed of by an evil organization known as the Kara Tech, which was notorious for its brutal and unethical experiments. Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence. The three of them believed that Kara Tech was somehow connected to the disappearances of various children in and around the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people, Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld. Will they stop the organization from committing more heinous crimes before it’s too late? Warning: the photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!!!
