Global Evolution, While I Remain Unchanged

After waking up from a car accident, Jiang Wei discovered that the whole world had gone crazy. His husband had gone from being a top-tier star to a cold, domineering CEO who controlled the lifeblood of the global economy and kept saying things like, “It’s getting chilly. Make the Wang family go bankrupt.” Their son, who had just turned three and a half, had become a genius little hacker who could crack rival companies’ firewalls with a few taps on the keyboard. Even more absurdly, the world had changed, and strange tales had descended. In this ghostly world, where you even had to pick the right day to bathe or get a haircut, running into a rule-based supernatural horror on the street was an everyday occurrence. To deal with these horrors, humanity had evolved a hundredfold, and people around the globe had awakened all kinds of supernatural abilities. Jiang Wei, however, remained as steady as a mountain. He hadn’t changed at all. He awakened no abilities and didn’t turn into a monster. He was simply… ordinary. Ordinarily riding a bicycle on a sunny day, even though cycling was forbidden; ordinarily walking into a kindergarten where adults weren’t allowed to pick up his son; ordinarily applying for jobs at various supernatural horror corporations; and, in his spare time, indulging his husband’s sudden passion for acting. What troubled Jiang Wei most was how quickly these supernatural horror companies went bankrupt. He had to keep running from one interview to the next, looking for a new job to support his family. Sigh. Life was just too hard. * One day, several bizarre rule-based supernatural horrors suddenly appeared in the horror world: 1. If you meet a wage slave named Jiang Wei, under no circumstances should you say the word “rules” in front of him! 2. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do not try to attack or affect him with your abilities, supernatural horrors, or any other paranormal power. Doing so will cause your powers to… stop working permanently. The world’s strongest were in an uproar. Jiang Wei? The “primitive man” who was the only person left off the evolution list? Wasn’t he just an ordinary guy? Nobody understood. Some even scoffed. Until the day the S-rank [Endless Ghost Fog], said to devour everything, covered the entire city. In the ghost fog, abilities failed and supernatural horrors went dormant. Humanity waited for the end, consumed by fear. Jiang Wei simply opened the window as usual and frowned at the fog blanketing the sky. “Whose family is burning straw? That’s a lot of smoke. How am I supposed to hang out the laundry?” The next second, the invincible ghost fog covering the city seemed to be clutched by an invisible hand. It twisted and shrank violently, then vanished with a pop. The world’s most powerful figures could only stare in utter bewilderment at the ultimate rule that updated itself before their eyes: [Rule Zero: Jiang Wei is the rule. If he thinks you don’t exist, then you cease to exist.] ＊ (From the top’s perspective): Pei Zhiyi awakened the ability [Many Faces]. By playing a character from a book, he could gain that character’s abilities. Playing a domineering CEO gave him the [Make the Wang Family Go Bankrupt] skill. Playing a tyrant gave him the [Exterminate Nine Generations] skill. Playing a famous detective gave him the [Trace the Origin of the Rules] skill. By playing these roles, Pei Zhiyi made the horror known as “The Company Where Overtime Never Ends” go bankrupt, and exterminated nine generations of the “Infinite Parasitism” horror. His ability was powerful, but it had a drawback: he could lose himself in his roles and gradually become a villain with no principles. Fortunately, his wife, who had died and come back to life, loved him dearly and could always bring him back to reality. “Wifey, if I turned into a powerful man from the Republic of China era and forced you into my household as a concubine, would you still love me?” “Wifey, if I turned into an interrogator and strapped you to a torture chair to question you, would you still love me?” Jiang Wei smiled helplessly. “I’d love you… I’d love you.” [The world’s most patient, devoted wife-type bottom × possessive, control-freak big-demon top with golden retriever vibes] Before You Read: 1. The bottom is incredibly patient, but not quite a conventional wife-type, and definitely not normal. 2. The top is in a beautiful state of mind, which is another way of saying he’s not normal either. He loves intensely and crazily. 3. The bottom is not intersex. The reason he can have a child is special and related to his identity; this is not pregnancy in the traditional sense.
