The Pudding Hamster Emperor I Raised Is My Mortal Enemy

[Dominant Master X Soft and Adorable Pudding Mouse] (X)

[Handsome, Powerful, Overbearing Star Pirate Captain Top X Beautiful-on-the-Outside, Dark-on-the-Inside Puppet Emperor Bottom] (√)

He Xinghuan, leader of the largest band of space pirates in the entire galaxy.

Aside from taking care of essential business in person, he usually stays cooped up in his room, playing his pet-raising game with his pudding mouse.

He even shows it off to everyone he meets: "Look, this is my baby. Cute, right?"

Yet beneath the star pirate's seemingly carefree swagger lies a grudge over his family's murder, one that has never been put to rest.

The old emperor who murdered his family is dead? Then the son can pay his father's debt. He'll make the current little emperor kneel at his feet and beg for mercy!

The day he stormed the palace, he shot the emperor a provocative smile. "Your Majesty, you useless, incompetent emperor. Nice to meet you. No need to show me any courtesy."

The beautiful emperor, with long golden hair, glared at him icily, his emerald eyes full of hostility.

*

He Xinghuan's rebellion was going more and more smoothly, and his plan to beat the emperor to a pulp was almost within reach.

Then one day, his pudding mouse suddenly revealed that he was actually the little emperor and needed help.

Staring into those same dewy green eyes as his mouse son's, He Xinghuan nearly ground his teeth to dust before reluctantly lending a hand.

"Help a useless guy like you? Fine. But once this is over, you'll be at my mercy."

"All right."

At last, with the mission almost complete, He Xinghuan looked at the little emperor's cold face as he tried to keep his distance. His eyes reddened, and he suddenly pinned him beneath himself.

The little emperor dodged in a panic and accused him of going back on his word.

He Xinghuan's ears burned red as he buried his head and got to work. "How am I going back on my word? I'm already... dealing with you, aren't I?"

*

As for everything that happened, the little emperor who was supposedly at He Xinghuan's mercy had this to say:

"What? Wasn't he already obsessed with me from the start?"

In the game, he called me his baby all day long, was always trying to touch me, pinch me, and kiss me, and even gave me an engagement ring. What else could he possibly mean?

It was only later that Ning Lishu realized he had completely misunderstood.

The guy had no idea he was a real person. He was just raising him like an adorable pet pudding mouse, with all the doting affection of a father.

Still...

Even if the beginning was wrong and the process was wrong, the outcome was absolutely right.

Reading Notes:

1. The top is the top, the top, the top.

2. One-on-one from beginning to end, both leads are sexually inexperienced: each other's first love, first kiss, and first time. They belong to each other in body and mind, and there will be no pairing swaps or breakups. They're madly in love and the perfect couple.

3. Sweet story, no angst. A little bittersweet in the middle.

4. There is a BL side couple with very little page time in the main story, but they get dedicated bonus chapters. Read with caution if that's not your thing.

[Deadpan, Cool, and Eccentric Genius Bottom X Gentle, Scheming, Green-Tea Captain Top]

Jiang Lin, forever the GOAT.

As a fake young master, he was exposed before adulthood, kicked out with nothing, and stumbled into the profession halfway through life.

Yet during his livestreams, he defeated pro players from every team, launching a legendary esports career.

He made a stunning debut, going viral for his game-changing plays.

He made his first appearance in the second-tier league and was snatched up by teams, all eager to sign the "top rookie prospect."

He led his team to an underdog comeback, silencing the doubters with an unbelievable Cinderella run.

The pro league was full of his highlight-reel moments, and he repeatedly turned the tide of battle. On the international stage, he was an absolute demon. Still young, he had already won multiple championships and risen to the top of the Hall of Fame, single-handedly transforming a league dominated by a few dynasties into a four-generation family reunion.

Wherever he played, miracles happened.

Never a misplay, never a mistake.

Everyone said Jiang Lin was unquestionably the god of esports.

And now, the legend was just beginning to rise from humble beginnings...

*

At the lowest point in his life, Jiang Lin got his cheat ability.

[Welcome to Esports Prodigy Simulator, esteemed Host!]

[With each simulation, you can draw any traits you like, including family background and talent. Trait cards come in different rarities, from low to high: gray N cards, green R cards, purple SR cards, gold SSR cards, and multicolored UR cards.]

[Once a simulation ends, the System will grant rewards based on your overall rating, and they will be synced to your real body.]

The simulator was great, but its drop rates were atrocious.

There were always a few runs where, even after drawing an SSR gold legendary card, he still got stuck with several negative N cards.

And so...

- [The Top Laner Who Loves Posting on Weibo]

You're a trash-talking regular on Weibo, a team man-child with negative people skills, and a lone top laner who never teleports in to join team fights.

All over the world, both teammates and opponents love and hate you. They love your wild plays and hate your arrogance, yet you keep winning battle after battle thanks to your natural talent.

- [The Support Who Refuses to Practice]

You're the head of the "Practice Is Useless" school, a master of excuses whose talk is always tougher than his performance, and an internationally beloved ambassador for haters and trolls across the internet.

After your retirement and comeback, the entire esports scene waits to laugh at you. But you prove with your skill that everything you once said wasn't empty boasting. It was simply true.

- [The ADC's Last Dance]

You're a low-key confidant beloved by everyone in the scene, a laid-back nice guy widely considered to lack real skill, and a perennial fall guy who never gets past the round of sixteen.

Just before your retirement, the country's top players all take pay cuts and transfer to become your teammates. The stars plead with you: for your final match before you leave the stage, please let them accompany you.

No matter how many times he randomly rolled a disastrous start, Jiang Lin stayed calm and turned disaster into a winning hand.

After many attempts, he finally had SSR gold traits such as [Top-Tier Laning] and [Master of Support Rotations], along with the max-level Bond item gifted by the UR character Shi Yue.

Jiang Lin turned around calmly and set his sights on reality.

Bonus Scene 1:

Jiang Lin had turned the esports simulator into a dating simulator.

Looking at the tall man in front of him, who was busy cooking up a storm, his eyes darkened. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Shi Yue didn't resist. Smiling, he wrapped his arms around Jiang Lin instead.

Jiang Lin pointed at his left cheek with a cold expression. "Kiss me."

Bonus Scene 2:

Ever since that incident, whenever Shi Yue was about to take a shower, his household guardian would dutifully appear outside the bathroom.

Shi Yue said helplessly, "The floor tiles have been specially designed to prevent slipping. I swear I won't fall in the bathroom again."

When the young man still stood there with a sour expression, the older man suddenly untied his bathrobe, revealing a clearly defined six-pack, and winked at him.

Jiang Lin leapt backward as if facing a great enemy. "What are you doing!?"

"If you're still worried..." Shi Yue blinked. "God Jiang, want to join me?"
