My Parents Sent Me A Doctor Hou Minghao's life is perfect. He retired from professional esports at the top of his career, has more money than he knows what to do with, and spends his days collecting hobbies, annoying his friends, and eating cake whenever he feels like it. Unfortunately, his parents disagree. According to them, Minghao is one forgotten meal away from becoming a national emergency. Their solution? Send a doctor. Not just any doctor. Dr. Heyu. Heart surgeon. Book lover. Human embodiment of responsibility. The kind of man who schedules his life, folds his laundry properly, and somehow remembers to drink enough water every day. The kind of man Minghao finds deeply suspicious. Now, thanks to two meddling parents and one spare apartment key, Heyu has been assigned three simple tasks: ✓ Feed Minghao. ✓ Supervise Minghao. ✓ Keep Minghao alive. It should be easy. Instead, he discovers a refrigerator full of strawberries, a cat with attitude, and a former esports legend determined to turn his carefully organized life upside down. One house. Two completely different lifestyles. Countless heartbeats. A fluffy slow-burn BL about friendship, laughter, found family, and two people who slowly become each other's favorite part of the day.

Jeremiah Constantine Marquez doesn't chase feelings. He understands things. Organizes them. Builds systems strong enough to carry pressure without collapsing under it. That's how he survives. In high school, he meets someone who almost fits naturally into that structure. Someone steady. Familiar. Easy to trust without effort. Almost. Because some things don't end through cruelty. They end because the world around them leaves no space for continuation. So Jeremiah adapts. He learns how to reduce himself into functionality. How to become useful enough to keep people comfortable. How to carry exhaustion quietly enough that nobody interrupts it. And eventually, the system works too well. Law school sharpens him into someone composed, dependable, frighteningly stable under pressure. The more overwhelmed he becomes, the more functional he appears externally. People start mistaking survival for personality. Including him. Then he meets someone who doesn't treat care like a negotiation. Someone emotionally fluent enough to notice what Jeremiah keeps trying to compress into silence. Someone who doesn't demand performance before offering presence. Someone who chooses deliberately - and continues choosing afterward. Not dramatically. Not temporarily. Just consistently. For the first time in years, Jeremiah encounters something his systems cannot organize into safe emotional distance. Because some things are not meant to be solved. Only felt. And that may be the one experience his survival instincts were never designed to survive.
