The Secret of the Chosen One

Perhaps something like this could happen.

As a newcomer to a sect, company, cult, aristocratic school for people with special abilities, or some other place, you have a senior you admire deeply.

Then one day, by chance, you discover that...

That boy-band idol who made waves wherever he went, that renowned sword cultivator, that film and television superstar who conquered the world, that god's chosen one who stood above all others, that upperclassman you yearned to be like and looked up to.

They actually...

A top-tier star who debuted in the center position. During the competition show, he was beautiful and shy, and relied heavily on the gentle older brother from his company. The inseparable twin stars made fans ship them like crazy.

Yet, for no apparent reason, he caught the attention of the royal prince.

"Do you want to debut?" The prince gently gripped his wrist, his touch burning and unbearable.

The bottom avoided the cameras, but the prince held him by the nape and kissed him. When he returned and faced his older brother's questions, he pretended nothing had happened.

In a cultivation world, a sword-tamer with a special constitution was forced to become the spouse of demonic swords. His husbands were wielded by the prodigies of various sects, so although the bottom's cultivation was low at first, his status was unusually high.

A certain prodigy from another realm, whom he'd never even met, was known for his cold and ruthless ways, yet treated the bottom with the utmost devotion. His excuse was that he wanted to marry his beloved for the sake of the sword. Everyone knew he was doing it for himself, and eventually the man and sword turned against each other.

A world-renowned film and television superstar, the dream muse of countless directors and actors, the bottom was forced to accept an invitation from a wildly unruly director for the sake of his family and children. On camera, the bottom was a natural beauty, irresistibly alluring, fragile and timid, the sort of person who stirred dark desires and made people want to crush him in their arms.

Afterward, during the film's promotion, a reporter brought up rumors about what had happened on set. The director not only failed to deny them, but openly admitted it, leaving the reporter dumbfounded.

The director smiled ambiguously. "I just did what everyone wanted to do. It was satisfying, and delicious too, wasn't it?"

In a Western fantasy world, a divine war raged without end, and the most beloved of the gods' chosen ones was covered in the marks of both true and false gods.

A devout believer accidentally noticed that after every marking ceremony, the chosen one would be dazed, the corners of his eyes red and damp.

Before the statue of the Father God, he showed no reverence at all. His face was full of disgust and fear.

In a noble school where bloodlines reigned supreme and order was strict, the bottom was a graceful student council president who had climbed up from common origins, inspiring countless younger students to follow in his footsteps.

No one knew that, after the crowds had dispersed, the senior they admired and worshipped would take off his suit and become the shared lover of the powerful elite.

1. Dark and coercive content warning. Some worlds feature retaliation, and some do not.

2. An anthology with the same protagonist. Each story can be read as something that happens to the protagonist in a different world and under different circumstances. His personality varies slightly depending on his upbringing, but his core remains unchanged. For now, he's an ambitious schemer who will stop at nothing to climb higher.

3. The number of worlds, their content, and their order will depend on inspiration and may change at any time.

4. A melodramatic, dog-blood, everyone-falls-for-him story with a receptive bottom. It contains many potential triggers.
