My Archrival Became Emperor and Won't Stop Flirting with Me!

【Tyrannical Emperor Ghostly Husband, Grumbling Pursuer × Bouncy, Warmhearted, Adorable Tsundere】 Lou Qingxu transmigrates into an ancient novel as a cannon-fodder NPC. All he has to do is follow the script to earn a high salary, so life is pretty sweet. The only flaw is that he has a nemesis. Even worse, one day, after getting drunk by accident, he kisses his nemesis and ends up in bed with him. Lou Qingxu looks at the marks all over his body, then at the culprit beside him on the pillow. “?” He throws off the covers and tries to run, but his nemesis grabs him around the waist and pulls him back into bed. The man shields him beneath his body and uses a tender, lingering voice to brainwash him over and over: “Darling, this is just how nemeses are.” “There’s nothing wrong with it. This is the most normal way for nemeses to get along. Didn’t you enjoy yourself last night?” “If you’re not used to it, we can do it a few more times. You’ll get used to it, sweetie.” “...” - Lou Qingxu still chooses to run away. He flees to a remote place, thinking it will be a good place to hide, only to hear that the newly enthroned tyrant emperor is currently handling official business nearby. Rumor has it the tyrant emperor is cruel and vicious, a mass murderer so terrifying that even the crows and sparrows on South Mountain flee at the sight of him. Thinking it’s best not to cause trouble, Lou Qingxu decides to lie low for the next few days. But the rice jar at home runs empty the following day. He figures he can just pop out for a bit. What are the odds he’ll run into the legendary tyrant emperor? As luck would have it, the moment he steps outside, he runs right into someone. Only it isn’t the emperor. It’s his nemesis, dressed in the emperor’s exclusive bright yellow dragon robe. “...?” Dazed by the impact of the man’s hard chest, Lou Qingxu blanks out and staggers back, but his nemesis moves first. Wearing a kindly, hypocritical smile, the man slowly closes in on him. At the same time, Lou Qingxu hears someone nearby address him as “Your Majesty.” Your... Your Majesty? “…?!” Help! What do you do when your nemesis suddenly turns out to be the tyrant emperor?! - Kou Yu has finally coaxed the little wife he raised himself into bed, one step at a time. But his wife says they’re nemeses. That’s fine, it’s his fault for not teaching him properly. He has time to keep trying. But good times don’t last. One evening, he waits and waits, but his wife never comes home. Some other man must have lured him away. He didn’t even leave behind a single clue. Kou Yu searches the entire capital like a madman, ready to turn heaven and earth upside down, before he finally finds him. On the day they reunite, he waits for him at the door in his imperial robe. He discovers that the other man has grown much thinner, and even his scent has become unfamiliar, no longer carrying Kou Yu’s presence. He even tries to run away when he sees him. How can he run away? They’re destined to be husband and wife, not nemeses. Why would he run? Thinking of all the people who have seen his wife’s face and heard his wife’s voice these past few days, Kou Yu grits his teeth, his veins bulging. Everyone is too scared to approach, but they never expected this tyrant emperor, who has always acted as if the rules don’t apply to him, to carry a strange man into the palace with his own two hands. The news spreads, and the whole capital erupts. · Kou Yu (pursuing lead) × Lou Qingxu (receiving lead) · Both leads are sexually inexperienced, both are men, one-on-one pairing! Divider Coming soon from the author: “Don’t I Get to Choose Whether I Fall in Love as a Lazybones?!” Xun Yu transmigrates into an ancient novel as a universally disliked young master, and he’s a lazybones to boot. Xun Yu: What a stroke of luck! He loves this character setup more than anything. He’s a total nobody, and he can lie flat while still getting paid. It’s practically a dream role. But before he can enjoy himself for more than a few days, he realizes something is wrong. He’s been bound to a comeback System and forced to start competing The eldest young master makes him study so hard he has to hang a beam from the ceiling and prick his thigh with an awl to stay awake, and won’t let him eat until he passes the scholar exam. The second young master demands that he master music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and won’t let him sleep until he does. The third young master takes him to the market to do business and won’t let him come home until he hits his sales target, and so on... To stay alive, Xun Yu puts up with all of it. But who could have guessed that things would get even more ridiculous? Those awful young masters actually report him to the emperor, each asking the emperor to bestow him on them as a marriage partner. Xun Yu: “?!” Wasn’t I supposed to be universally disliked? How did I become everyone’s darling? I’m a one-man kind of guy! - To deal with these ridiculous young masters, Xun Yu casually picks out a gentle, refined handsome man on the street and agrees to three rules, entering into a sham marriage. Before the wedding, they agreed not to interfere with each other. But on the very day they marry, his virginity is taken, and he’s laid up in bed for several days. No, no, no. The man is handsome, and his personality is genuinely wonderful: gentle as jade, every inch a gentleman. It’s just that he’s too rough, and he keeps forcing Xun Yu to do things he doesn’t like. If he stays any longer, his butt is really going to be in tatters. Xun Yu grits his teeth and tries to run, but before he can make a move, he’s caught and brought back. His gentle, refined fake husband abandons his usual demeanor and imprisons him in a side chamber. He pinches Xun Yu’s cheek and gives him a sinister smile, the chill around him so palpable he looks just like a male ghost who’s crawled out of a coffin. “Why are you running, my dear? I simply won’t bestow you on them.” “Your body and soul are mine. Don’t think about anyone else.” Only later does Xun Yu learn that this man is no ordinary person. He’s the tyrant emperor, newly enthroned not long ago. · Xun Yu × Li Zhi, sinister ghostly emperor × lazybones, universally adored young master · Both leads are sexually inexperienced, one-on-one pairing Theme: Striving for a better life
