I Want to Invite You for a Ride on My Motorcycle

[Blurb]

The most valuable thing Qiyan owns is a secondhand RV with a faded ad for Lao Gan Ma chili sauce painted on it.

Rumor has it that Highway 404 is a forbidden zone for the living, where the present world overlaps with the abyss, a playground for terrifying rules. Even the most powerful Awakened have only a slim chance of making it out alive.

Qiyan studies the route map for ages, chewing on his straw. "Taking the back road to No Return Town would save me fifty yuan in tolls, but my RV has low clearance. Are their roads even paved properly?"

On a stormy night, Qiyan finds a man on the forbidden highway, teetering on the brink of losing control.

Half the man's body is stained with blood. He's devastatingly handsome, like a sharp-edged demon, and the aura of abyssal mutation around him is powerful enough to crush the present world.

The higher-ups at the Special Affairs Bureau call him "a human nuclear weapon" and "the calamity that will bring about the end of the world."

Qiyan stares at this god of slaughter for a second, then glances at the RV's nearly drained bioelectricity meter.

"Get in. Room and board are included," Qiyan says calmly. "As long as your contamination level is enough for me to run the AC at twenty degrees tonight."

The man's eyes turn crimson as he grabs Qiyan by the throat, full of murderous intent. But the moment he touches Qiyan's body heat, the violent pain inside him miraculously subsides.

Later, the entire Special Affairs Bureau stands on high alert, preparing for the Demon King's indiscriminate revenge that will end the world.

But in horror, they watch the surveillance footage: the monster who was supposed to slaughter the world is sitting obediently in the passenger seat of a beat-up secondhand RV, wearing a pink apron and carefully peeling a spicy crawfish for the driver.

Lu Hewei has spent his whole life being torn apart by betrayal and exploitation. Cold-blooded, brutal, and ruthless, he believes he is destined to rot in the abyss as a "weapon."

Until that rainy night, when a shabby old RV crashes through the death trap fate had laid out for him, with sheer, unreasonable force.

Outside the vehicle, vengeful ghosts roar through the forbidden zone. Inside, the air is filled with the scent of braised pork and cheesy love songs.

Lu Hewei pins Qiyan against the door. His mutated black scales brush the young man's vulnerable neck, and his voice is hoarse and dangerous. "You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. Let me out now, while you still can."

Qiyan fiddles with the crooked rearview mirror, grabs him by his mutated collar, and casually kisses the bone spike in the middle of his forehead.

"Quit messing around. You can't afford to replace the rearview mirror."

The demon who would destroy the world instantly turns docile, as obedient as a pet dog with its claws tucked away.

#Even if you turn into a monster, you still have to sit quietly in the passenger seat, got it?#

#I looked up from the abyss, and you came barreling toward me in a beat-up car, carrying a sky full of stars.#

A supremely rational, emotionally stable, temptation-maxed bottom who treats terrifying urban legends as a way home VS an extremely possessive, battle-scarred beauty of an apocalypse god who turns gentle the moment the bottom touches him
