Survival After Inheriting the Harem

(The sequel, I Transmigrated as a Sea King Omega and Got Targeted by a Green Tea, is now open for follows in my profile. Its blurb is below this story's.) * 1v1, play the pig to eat the tiger, and a theatrical protagonist warning. * Cover artist: @Chao Jiang Jin (bz) Qiu Qi transmigrated, becoming the Beast God, a villainous ruler in another world, and inheriting a whole harem of beauties. (Struck out) She inherited a harem of assassins, all eager to take her head. They say the Beast God went mad while cultivating dark arts and is now nothing but a cripple. Assassins from every faction are being sent to claim her head. Spy: Report! The assassins we sent couldn't even take one step into the Beast God's bedchamber before her iron-blooded warrior consorts wiped them out! Villain: What did Pei Yuqing say back then? Didn't she and those consorts want to tear Qiu Qi limb from limb? Spy: She, she said that if this person was going to die, it could only be by her hand. Villain: Then why doesn't she hurry up? Spy: She also said... there's no need for you to rush her. At this very moment, Qiu Qi is squatting in her backyard, gleefully counting heads. "Wifey, does demon meat taste good?" The empress lowers her head and lovingly strokes the young woman's hair. "Do you like it? If you do, I'll go hunt a few more for you tonight." Onlookers: You said you hated her to the bone, but she's obviously your beloved pet! Bonus scene: After repeated failures to assassinate her, the empress decides to personally take up her blade. But she discovers that the once ferocious demon has become a clingy little pest who constantly acts cute and begs for affection. "Wifey, wifey, I hear you have nightmares at night. If I hold you, you won't be scared!" "Wifey, wifey, bunnies are so cute. How could anyone eat a bunny? QAQ" "Wifey, wifey, I really like you... Can I kiss you?" Meeting Qiu Qi's clear, innocent puppy eyes, the icy empress silently puts away the dagger hidden in her sleeve. The assassination can wait. After all, you should fatten the prey before you slaughter it. "You can." Qiu Qi: If I'm sweet enough, my wife won't have the heart to kill me (wink) *This is a fictional world with a mountain of original worldbuilding. The tone is light and silly, not serious drama, so don't worry too much about the details. Please add my upcoming yuri ABO story, I Transmigrated as a Sea King and Got Targeted by a Green Tea, to your favorites! Blurb: * Mutual tops, and the green tea only pretends to be an Omega while actually being an Alpha early on. * ABO setting, partially neutered, with original worldbuilding. Jian Xi transmigrates into a yuri ABO love-triangle novel and is forced to become the sea-king heroine. System: Please say the following lines to your targets. [I'm not a flirt. I just want to give every "little sister" a home.] [They were just an impulse brought on by a moment of weakness. You're the one I've grown to love over time, Big Sister.] Jian Xi: Then I probably won't live to see the weekend :) Fortunately, Jian Xi quickly discovers that staying near the female supporting character, Xu Yanshu, lets her avoid System punishment for not saying the sea-king lines. Besides, among all these people who keep wanting to date her, Xu Yanshu seems to be the only normal one (?) Xu Yanshu: Big Sister, why is your girlfriend so mean to you? It breaks my heart. If it were me, I'd never say a single harsh word to you. Xu Yanshu: I'm sorry, Big Sister. I just wanted to give you the gift in person. I didn't expect your girlfriend to misunderstand our relationship. I didn't mean to cause trouble between you two. Jian Xi emphasizes every word, trying to shake off her reputation as a sea king: Those women aren't my girlfriends. Xu Yanshu smiles. "Good. I'm relieved, Big Sister." Jian Xi soon discovers that all the women in the heroine's harem seem to have become Xu Yanshu's rumored girlfriends. She doesn't mind, and even wants to celebrate finally escaping the love-triangle chaos. But just as she thinks she can finally relax, the frail little Omega she remembers suddenly changes completely and corners her against a wall, confessing with forceful confidence. The once light, sweet scent of her pheromones suddenly takes on an aggression Jian Xi can't withstand. Her body temperature rises uncontrollably. Xu Yanshu parts her lips and blows gently against Jian Xi's flushed ear. "Big Sister, now no one can get in the way of us being together. I don't like any of them at all. You're the only one I see." Jian Xi: I thought of you as a sister, but you want to be my girlfriend? Blurb for I Transmigrated as a Sea King Omega and Got Targeted by a Green Tea: * Mutual tops, and the green tea pretends to be an Omega while actually being an Alpha early on (ABO setting, partially neutered, with original worldbuilding). Jian Xi transmigrates into an ABO reverse-harem novel, becoming the sea-king heroine. She's forced to join a dating show with several of the original heroine's flirtations. System: Please say the following lines to your targets. [You can't have your cake and eat it too, but surely you don't want me to choose just one, right?] [Out of respect for love, I don't want to define our relationship too quickly.] Jian Xi looks at the VJ camera. "Then I probably won't live to see the weekend." Sure enough, when the preview airs, the comment stream explodes: You can put up with this?! Get that player Jian Xi off the show right now! But then... In the first episode's affection poll, Jian Xi gets every guest's vote, becoming the first person in dating show history to do so. When the second episode airs, a flood of Omegas are won over by Jian Xi's incredibly cool girlfriend energy, and her Weibo followers jump by hundreds of thousands overnight. In the third episode, an Alpha guest confesses to Jian Xi, and the comment stream fills with: [Reject her! Marry us! No Alpha is good enough for our Jian!] With the women in her harem fighting over her and the sea-king heroine in dire straits, Jian Xi joins forces with Xu Yanshu to cheat during the show's room assignments, so they end up as roommates. But the longer they live together, the more Jian Xi suspects that this roommate might be a little strange too. Xu Yanshu: I'm sorry, Big Sister. I didn't expect them to misunderstand our relationship. Please don't fight because of me. Xu Yanshu: I'm so jealous she drew your date coupon. If I could, I'd hide you away where no one else could see you. Comments: Why does Xu Yanshu have such a strong green tea vibe? Stay away from our Jian! In the final episode, during the confession segment, the guests' true genders are revealed. Everyone thinks Xu Yanshu is a gentle, frail Omega, but she completely transforms, forcefully cornering Jian Xi against the wall to confess. The pressure of her pheromones clearly marks her as an Alpha. In front of tens of millions of livestream viewers, Xu Yanshu leans close to Jian Xi's ear and softly says, "Big Sister, from now on, just look at me, okay? I'm all you need in your fishpond." Comments: Ahhh! Green tea and sea king are the ultimate pairing! Please get married right now! Jian Xi: I thought of you as a sister, but you want to be my girlfriend?
