The Empress Decides to Rise from the Dead (Silkworm's Return)

[Volume One Complete! Come and enjoy!]

An overwhelmingly powerful, big-brother-type, handsome killer top x a delicate but surprisingly hardy, beautiful mascot bottom

Lingling's perspective:

Fan Ling, the young head of the Special Biological Investigation Division, has already risen to a high-ranking position. Determined to escape the fate of an arranged marriage and forced reproduction, he resolutely chooses to go to a snowbound city on the other side of the planet, prepared to devote his whole life to humanity's future.

As it turns out, his job is even more intense than he expected. Gale-force winds, heavy snow, and torrential rain, three full years without a day off, working overtime every single day. Fan Ling is so busy he barely has time to sleep, and still has to deal with prospective marriage partners the headquarters keeps sending whenever it gets the chance.

Every one of them has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a handsome, rugged face. Every one of them has the same low voice. And every one of them is a man.

Fan Ling grows nostalgic. Fan Ling grows numb. Fan Ling begins to hate it.

The identical faces seem to multiply by division. Marriage applications pile up one after another. The hazy, beautiful moonlight of his first love turns into dust beneath his feet, found everywhere. Fan Ling thinks he has grown tired of that face.

But when the last man appears before him, his heart begins to race uncontrollably.

...This.

Could it be palpitations?

Division Chief Fan falls into deep thought.

So, with no memory of anything, Division Chief Fan is confident despite having no reason to be. Not only does he mistake his heart skipping a beat for palpitations, he also mistakes his legitimate husband for an impostor, ignoring the increasingly dark, inscrutable look in his eyes as he keeps provoking him and courting disaster.

Finally, one day, Ying Xi can take no more. He pulls Fan Ling into a shabby train compartment, making up for the fact that no one ever spanked him as a child while murmuring over and over into his ear:

"Baby."

After who knows how long, Division Chief Fan, nearly suffocated from lack of oxygen, slowly comes to. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself held tightly in Ying Xi's arms.

A strange, burning love melts the body frozen by snow. The seed sleeping beneath his flat stomach finally awakens, and Fan Ling discovers in horror:

He's pregnant.

But the child isn't Ying Xi's.

---End of the more serious synopsis---

Eighteen years ago, the Yunshen Institute of Natural Sciences suddenly exploded for unknown reasons. Unknown natural organisms sealed inside the facility escaped and spread across the world in the blink of an eye. Life withered and the planet's core began to fail wherever they went.

The dead could no longer return to the cycle of life, and zombies appeared in the world. The apocalypse had officially begun.

To seek a future in which humanity could survive, survivors around the world joined together to establish the International Alliance. Using the Yunshen blast site as their anchor, they searched worldwide for places where humanity could live. Thus the Thirteen International Republics came into being.

Eighteen years later, Baohu Prison in Haichong City exploded once more.

It was called an explosion, but in truth, the zombies had broken out again. To stabilize Haichong City's social order and prevent public panic, the International Alliance and the Haichong government decided to conceal the truth, publicly claiming that the prison explosion had been caused by the improper storage of contraband.

But real footage still leaked from within, showing zombies in the city center. Fear of another zombie horde spread once more.

As the chief commander responsible for defending Haichong City, Fan Ling was the first to be investigated. Because of his unusual constitution, he could not be interrogated. The Alliance headquarters and the Haichong government decided to each assign a minder to stay by Fan Ling's side around the clock.

And so began an indefinite suspension and surveillance.

Not long afterward, the assassin known as "Tin Soldier," who had topped the rankings of the civilian organization Wuwanghai for nine years, sent word that he had successfully approached Fan Ling, head of the Special Biological Investigation Division.

The mission hall erupted. A new SSS-class special mission was immediately launched: investigate the composition of the latest RM drug, capture Fan Ling alive, and bring him back to base.

Important: In a crisis, the target may be killed.

Assigned mission operative: Tin Soldier

As the chief commander stationed in Haichong City on behalf of the International Alliance, Commander Fan Ling returns to his post after being framed and suspended, shot at, involved in a car accident, and subjected to countless assassination attempts. He once again sets out to protect Haichong City.

But after two months apart, this young commander, who had risen to a high-ranking position so early in life, now wears an expression no one had seen before.

His beautiful face, usually looking as if he had just woken up, is no longer as cool and distant as it once was. His pale, sickly-looking skin seems to have been nourished by something, or perhaps he has just cried bitterly. A faint blush spills from the tips of his brows to the corners of his eyes. Even as he maintains his usual cool demeanor, he seems to glow with a different kind of vitality.

Watching through their television screens, viewers feel their hearts race. Clutching their thumping chests, they widen their eyes and can't help but exclaim in heartfelt admiration: What a pitifully lovely face!

But then they notice something is wrong. The commander, who can tear off ten zombie heads with his bare hands, has a pale, pained look between his brows. He is being carefully carried in the arms of another handsome man in a black uniform.

And beneath the commander's red uniform, his slender waist is swollen high, as if he is full term and about to give birth.

Oh? Is he going to have the baby?

Everyone looks at one another, but something still seems off.

Wait, men can get pregnant?

Content warnings:

1. Entirely fictional world, with male pregnancy, amnesia, and melodramatic childbirth drama. This is not a sweet romance. No real-person inspiration. Please don't compare it to real people or events. Thank you.

2. The top and bottom are a devoted couple, both sexually inexperienced, with mutual affection as solid as a city wall! Readers who are particular about top/bottom roles may want to skip this.

3. A fake second-chance romance. In reality, only the top thinks their relationship has fallen apart. The bottom doesn't even know there was a relationship to lose, because he has amnesia.

4. The bottom is very ill! He sometimes becomes so sick he can't get out of bed, and his mental state is poor too, so he often gets around in a wheelchair. Early on, other people may have to carry him from place to place. Please bear with it!

5. I have a habit of revising the story, and can only make promises to readers who purchase the official version. Please consider this warning in advance, and don't force yourself to read if it's not for you. Thank you! ♪(･ω･)ﾉ!
