The Ninth Abyss

Synopsis: You give yourself, body and soul, to me, and I will never let you down in this life. Pairing: A playful, smug emperor who loves to tease x an upright, kind-hearted guard A few things to note: 1. Neither the top nor the bottom is innocent. Readers who mind should steer clear. 2. The official version is a clean romance: a sweet story featuring a tsundere top who dotes on the bottom. It has been that way since it was serialized years ago, and the official version is the only version with the real plot. There are no other versions. Pirated copies all use the official plot. Some people use the excuse that this version or that version is better to deceive readers, claiming it's more enjoyable while posting all kinds of abusive content that treats the bottom as less than human. Readers think there's something seriously wrong with you, and have been following this whole mess for ages. Now you feel embarrassed and have come to flood the official version with comments, but that won't help. Readers are following the drama on your other accounts elsewhere. As long as you keep deceiving people, readers will keep watching the spectacle. Readers have always thought there was something seriously wrong with you. Back then, you yourselves claimed that official-version readers were reading a clean romance, and you hadn't used the official plot or changed it. Those were the facts. Readers knew it was fanfiction, so they didn't complain. Now you're using the excuse that this version or that version is better to deceive people, without telling a single truth, deliberately subjecting other readers to misery. Of course readers won't spare your feelings anymore. And then there are idiots who say nothing, just quietly change the plot, leaving readers to feel as if they're opening a blind box. That's even more messed up. When readers brought this up back then, I warned you. Pirated copies all used the official plot. I can't check every pirated copy one by one, and I can't stop people from changing the plot on a whim. Readers weren't bringing it up because they couldn't tell the plots apart. They thought someone was deliberately putting other readers through misery, which was messed up. They weren't telling you idiots to come up with new excuses to deceive people. For readers, the official version is a story where the top dotes on the bottom. Some idiot is using pirated copies to post all kinds of abusive content that treats the bottom as less than human, and tricking readers with it. The official story is a clean romance where the top dotes on the bottom; otherwise, idiots would put everyone through misery, including readers who are fans of the top. This has been public knowledge ever since readers first brought it up. If you don't know about it, that's the problem. The old readers never left the fandom. Someone says you haven't read the pirated copies, but nobody said you had. You're being dragged into the drama because you can't even convincingly pretend not to know. Whether they read the official version or pirated copies, readers know who's pretending to be a reader to deceive people. Years ago, people already said some idiot was posting all kinds of abusive content that treated the bottom as less than human. Readers who genuinely didn't know are baffled by what the idiots doing the deceiving are up to, and by what the people denying that those idiots exist are up to. It's not that they haven't heard about this. The pirates make a fuss, claiming they're all posting a story where the top dotes on the bottom and that every reader is reading that kind of story, with nobody being put through misery. They say I'm framing them. Your claim doesn't represent readers, and it doesn't represent the pirates either. If you aren't the idiot changing the plot, then who is everyone dragging into this mess? Readers without a subscription just happen to run into these idiots. That's how messed up they are. They've put countless readers through misery; otherwise, readers wouldn't have stopped sparing their feelings. If you have a subscription, then whether you're making things up about the official plot or the pirated plot, you're the one who changed it. Someone is pretending to be an official-version reader to deceive people. Are they all idiots? If you don't read clean romances, why pretend to be an official-version reader? The real readers are the ones being put through misery by the supposedly better plot you keep making a fuss about. Of course they've always known who's pretending to be a reader to deceive people. The biggest telltale sign of the idiots changing the plot is that they shamelessly mess with readers, flip-flopping from side to side, but never dare talk about the plot itself. If they did, nobody would fall for it and be put through misery. If a reader can't understand why others are reading a sweet story where the top dotes on the bottom while she can't find it, or why she keeps seeing all kinds of abuse that treats the bottom as less than human, readers tell her the reason. Everyone knows except her, which makes her look like a fool. There's no need to bother with the other idiots; they all know what's going on. If they didn't keep jumping into the fray, readers wouldn't keep getting this spectacle served up to them. Someone is hung up on the fact that I changed the story's title. I changed it because I know that ever since the idiots started using “this version” and “that version” to deceive people, readers under the old title have all been put through misery. Whether things are any better under the new title is something you'll have to ask the idiots. As for fans of the top being put through misery by these idiots too, their claims about this version or that version mean that every reader has been put through misery, including fans of the top. The ones who themselves claim they didn't use the official plot and changed it are the ones making fanfiction. Theme: Ruler and subject
