Newlywed Report: A Different Species

The first arc is complete. I’m doing my best to update daily, so please don’t wait until there’s a big backlog. Pretty please! ① Newlywed Experience Report: An Alien Species × A Human with Overwhelming Combat Strength Jiang Ji had no parents and grew up in a welfare institution. Under the banner of the Human Alliance, he solemnly swore to devote his whole being to humanity. But starting a family with an alien species surely wasn’t part of that, was it? Jiang Ji should have faced his enemy on the battlefield. Instead, he was ordered to marry his nemesis and begin a “close cohabitation” under the cameras. To promote understanding and integration between their species, the newlyweds’ lives would be broadcast worldwide twenty-four hours a day, with regular reports. On the second day of their marriage, Olivier reported: My wife refuses to sleep with me. Jiang Ji: Have you ever heard a water harp? His snoring sounds exactly like one! In their first week of marriage, Olivier reported: My wife yelled at me. Jiang Ji: I was born with a loud voice. After a month of marriage, Olivier reported: My wife played a horror movie to scare me. Jiang Ji: …What horror movie could possibly be scarier than you? Before marriage Jiang Ji: Alien species. Dangerous and savage. Olivier: Humans. Deceitful. After marriage Jiang Ji: Can someone explain why the alien who looks like he could punch a TV to pieces watches soap operas every day? Damn it, the dish soap I bought yesterday is missing again! Olivier: My wife brought me a drink when she went out, so I accepted it. But she didn’t look happy. From human movies and shows, I learned that this is called being tsundere. ② My Fungus Husband-Raising Diary: Parasitic Mutant Fungus × Violent Sweetheart Escapee He An first noticed that everything in the house was going moldy. Then he saw signs that the soil in the yard had been disturbed. A month ago, he had buried someone in the yard: the owner of the house. He hadn’t killed him. The man was already dead when He An escaped from prison and fled here. Now the man had crawled out of the soil. Yellow fungal strands covered his exposed skin, spreading from beneath his feet throughout the house. He An backed away until he was beside the table. The homeowner’s notebook lay within reach. The last page, left open, read: It’s been restless lately. I think it may be time to find it a suitable mate. ③ Silver Dragon Breeding Plan: A Dragon with a Split Personality × A Dark-Skinned Beauty from the Dragon God’s Servants The last dragon wanted a mate and hoped to increase its kind’s numbers, so it built a nest and set out trophies to lure a female. Three months later, a mate arrived, drawn by the trophies. But the dragon’s mate was a man. To survive and secure the Dragon God’s protection for his people, Lansen pretended to agree to become the dragon’s wife. But why did that dragon keep talking about laying eggs?! Lansen: “I can’t lay eggs for you.” The dragon’s outer personality gazed at him tenderly. “Don’t worry. If we keep trying, we’ll get there eventually.” Lansen: “Some things can’t be achieved just by trying!” A cruel glint flashed in the dragon’s inner personality’s eyes. “Then we must not be trying hard enough.” And also: ④ Bearded Dragon Husband’s Shedding Log: Bearded Dragon CEO × Neat-Freak Wife and Assistant ⑤ Crow Familiar Training Record: Crow Familiar × Cunning Human with Witch Blood, and more. Every story is one-on-one true love. Nonhuman characters may be heartless to the world, but they only have hearts for their wives. The stories may not appear in the order listed. Inspiration comes first, and I’ll add more when I think of them. Coming soon 1: Liar, You’re Not a Spider at All! Dark, powerful male A with the tail of a spider-tailed horned viper × Cool-faced, adorable female O with the genes of a blue sapphire ornamental tarantula In his previous life, Zhu Xi was all alone. Reborn into an ABO world, he had loving parents and an older brother, and everything was wonderful. Until his seventeenth birthday, when he saw six furry legs sprout from his body in the mirror and fainted on the spot. Zhu Xi, who had always been assumed to be a Beta, presented as an Omega. Those six legs, gleaming with a beautiful metallic blue sheen, were a sign of his blue sapphire ornamental tarantula genes. Rare. Precious. His family had never shown their animal forms around him, worried he would feel sad being the only one who was different. Now there was no need to hold back. The once-warm, loving home had become a three-A-rated tourist attraction: the Spider Cave. But he was terrified of spiders! Coming soon 2: Teacher, You Haven’t Said “Thanks for the Meal” Yet. Younger gravity-wielding half-demon top × Stuffy incubus teacher bottom “I’ve been exhausted since becoming a homeroom teacher. Why do I keep feeling nauseated and throwing up?” Xia Linyan asked the AI. Dou Sha: Congratulations, you’re pregnant! Xia Linyan: …Artificial idiot! Xia Linyan is a private high school teacher: strict and stuffy, and a perennial fixture at the top of the students’ most-hated list. One night, with no one around to see, he grew horns, wings, and a tail. Night after night, he curled up by his bed, ravenous and tormented by desire. Ordinary food couldn’t satisfy an incubus. Xia Linyan grew hungrier and hungrier, and behind his cold lenses, his eyes brimmed with a desperately suppressed craving for life essence. The sensuality that spilled from his every movement was a passive ability. Everyone who passed him grew dazed and fell under his spell without realizing it. “How did I never notice there was someone this alluring at school?” “What? Which class?” “No, it’s a male teacher.” Driven by extreme hunger, Xia Linyan attacked a passerby, but collapsed first from weakness. Through his haze, he heard the other man call him “Teacher.” That somewhat familiar face seemed to belong to a student he had once taught. Zhuo Heng crouched down, looking down at him. “Long time no see. Teachers these days look… absolutely delicious.” Theme: Love is the bridge that allows all species to communicate.
