This novel: size difference | older seme | pseudo-incest | refined darling vs. unhinged daddy

Pei Mian was adopted by the Pei family.

His adoptive father, Pei Wangyan, treated him coldly, and the two rarely spoke.

Yet Pei Wangyan was lavish when it came to material comforts: Pei Mian wore this season's designer clothes, ate gourmet meals prepared by a private chef, and even had to bathe in Bordeaux from a particular vintage mixed with colostrum.

Pei Mian had been pampered and carefully raised for ten years.

He thought his life would continue like that, but on his eighteenth birthday, he unexpectedly transmigrated ten years into the past.

Because he had transmigrated along with his body, he had no money and ended up homeless on the street. His delicate skin was rubbed raw and red by his rough clothes.

With nowhere else to turn, Pei Mian had no choice but to go find Pei Wangyan.

“Daddy, I'm here!”

“Whether you raise me now or later, you're still raising me. What's wrong with starting early?”

After selling his last watch, Pei Mian traveled thousands of miles to Beicheng, where he finally found Pei Wangyan.

But the once-mighty business tycoon was now a violent young delinquent.

The first thing he said when he saw Pei Mian was:

“Raise a kid? I'm not raising a kid.”

“I might consider keeping a wife, though.”

“Stick with me, and I'll give you a million a month. How about it?”

Pei Mian: “...?”

*

The good news: His adoptive father was still as rich as ever.

The bad news: The adopted son was about to become a kept man.

Unable to get past that mental hurdle, Pei Mian ran away in the middle of the night.

But life outside was too hard. He couldn't get enough to eat, stay warm, or sleep well... He couldn't last more than a few days and eventually dragged himself back, dejected.

In his previous life, Pei Wangyan had made Pei Mian study. Whenever Pei Mian's eyes turned red, the man would give in and indulge him, letting him grow into a pretty good-for-nothing.

But this time...

Pei Wangyan pinned him against the floor-to-ceiling window, his broad shoulders blocking out all the light.

No matter how much Pei Mian begged and struggled, the man wouldn't budge. Instead, he held him even tighter.

“Darling,”

His low, husky voice, wrapped in hot breath, slipped into Pei Mian's ear.

“You're so greedy for food, and you're still crying?”

A high school teacher devoted to education × a love-struck eldritch god who thinks of nothing but his husband

In the third year since the rules-based horror phenomenon descended, humanity once again failed to conquer the A-rank instance, [Rotten Aquarium].

The entire team was wiped out, with only one person left alive. Half his body had been devoured, and he was clinging to life by the water's edge.

A vicious monster emerged from the water.

The human shut his eyes in despair.

But the monster didn't eat him. Instead, it pulled a copy of Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulations out of its maw and asked him, “This trigonometry problem... should I pick A or B?”

The human: “?”

Shen Ye transmigrated.

He arrived in an unfamiliar world, where he was still an honored high school teacher.

Only, his students all looked bizarre. They liked skipping class and starting fights, and they also liked chewing on their classmates' heads...

But Shen Ye firmly believed that no student was beyond help. The only thing that could fail was a teacher who didn't try!

Didn't matter if they were square or round. If they were underage, they were going to class!

Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulations, Wang Hexiong's Exam Prep, Must-Do College Entrance Exam Questions, Tianli 38 Sets...

The eldritch creatures complained bitterly.

They had to get up at five every morning for class, and lessons didn't end until midnight. At least eight practice tests a day! When would this miserable life ever end?

But they had no choice.

A powerful aura coiled around Shen Ye, keeping them from approaching.

Even more frightening was the man who often appeared by his side.

He was ancient, powerful, and indescribable.

Despite being such a terrifying presence, Shen Ye smiled every time he saw him and wrapped an arm around his neck. “Honey! Can we have grilled squid tonight? I confiscated ten skewers from my students again!”

The man would always stroke Shen Ye's face tenderly. “Sure.”

-

Finally, one day, the eldritch creatures couldn't take it anymore.

Who on earth made their eldritch students do practice tests at home every day? Was that even reasonable?!

While the man was away, the eldritch creatures rose up in rebellion, planning to divide Shen Ye among themselves!

But Shen Ye restrained them with ease, tied their hands, and hung them at the school gate. Then he stuffed another mock exam into each of their hands.

The eldritch creatures: “???”

What the heck?! Wasn't he just an ordinary high school teacher?!

Shen Ye: “? I am! But is it really that hard to deal with an octopus in an ugly uniform, moving vines, or mutated frogs?”
