After Being Forced to Win Over Four Arch Enemies

His nemesis was reincarnated, and his soul split into four.

By order of the Heavenly Emperor, Hu Xinghe, clan leader of the Nine-Tailed Foxes, has no choice but to descend to the mortal realm and save his unfortunate nemesis. As it turns out, the only way to save him is to make all four of his reincarnations fall in love with Hu Xinghe and willingly die for him.

Hu Xinghe's face immediately darkens. "Why me?!"

The immortals are envious and jealous. "Come on, aren't you a fox spirit? We'd want to do it too, but we don't have what it takes!"

To complete his mission, Hu Xinghe swallows his pride, plays the meek little thing, and puts on one heartbreaking act after another as he moves between the four fragments of his nemesis.

Only after all four fragments fall for Hu Xinghe and go through hell trying to win him back do they realize they've been completely duped.

Fragment One: "You said you loved me..."

Fragment Two: "You said you'd give me a chance to make amends..."

Fragment Three: "You said you were my little fox and mine alone..."

Fragment Four: "You said you loved only me and would never change your heart..."

So it was all a lie...

When the soul reunites, the nemesis, now possessing all four sets of memories, turns completely dark and corners the little fox who lied without remorse.

Faced with his darkened nemesis, Hu Xinghe gives in pitifully. "I was wrong..."

His nemesis leans close to Hu Xinghe's ear and grits out, "Your punishment is to give yourself to me."

Coming soon: The Warden Is So Cold and Cool

Blurb

Shang Yu has had a headache lately. As the warden of a monster prison, he has discovered that all the monsters in his prison have been stolen by a live-action horror game.

*

Monsters like water ghosts, zombie kings, vampire progenitors, and insect lords... Shang Yu adores these monsters, who are so well-behaved and obedient in prison. But now the game has taken them as forced labor, putting them through endless torment.

(Monsters: No, we're having a great time in the game...)

*

Shang Yu decides to enter the game himself and bring his monsters back. Keeping the monsters in his prison under control is a warden's responsibility.

(The monsters huddle together, trembling: Please don't come...)

*

"King of Terror," a live-action horror survival game, has quietly launched. Everyone chosen by the game must endure one terrifying escape after another. Players accumulate game points each time they clear a level, and can use those points to upgrade their abilities.

The game's death rate is as high as 70 percent. When faced with the terrifying monsters inside, most people have no choice but to run. Then one day, they meet a man who is both cold and cool...

*

Lucky Player No. 1: Oh my god, he glared at that female ghost and she was so scared she fell to her knees!

Lucky Player No. 2: It's true, I swear! He had his hand in his uniform pocket, called the Zombie King "Good boy," and the Zombie King just followed him...

Lucky Player No. 3: Unbelievable! The Vampire Progenitor, who nearly wiped out our whole team, pulled out his own fangs and handed them to that man the moment he saw him...

*

The game stomps around in a fury: Who let this man in?! He's about to take all the monsters away!!

Later, the game clings to Shang Yu's leg and sobs: I was wrong, Daddy...

Reader's notes

1. An infinite-horror survival game story, though this man makes it completely effortless.

2. The warden may look cold and aloof, but in reality he's a goofball with zero life skills.

3. The warden is the bottom. The character introduced early on probably isn't the top.

Preorder: After My Country Fell, I Was Forced to Bear the Tyrant's Child

Blurb

At that moment, the sword was only a hair's breadth away from me. Its blade was silver-white, its edge icy. After one more sentence, I would die beneath it.

The tip of the sword lifted, lightly brushing my face before raising my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

Backlit, I could make out his face. He had the sort of handsome features that would make women across the land blush and their hearts race. His eyes were sharp, his features sculpted. Now his gaze wandered over my face, carrying a hint of amusement.

The destitute boy of the past had become a mature and ruthless emperor. He had come for revenge.

He asked me, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Once I had spoken my last words, he would send me on my way.

I fell silent, my gaze passing over him to the distance. Dozens of bodies lay in the great hall, and flames blazed outside.

Closest to me lay the beloved consort I had only just welcomed into the palace. Thinking of her face, pure and bright as the moon, made my heart ache.

That day, I lost my beloved consort and my ministers, and my country fell. But I still wanted to live.

So my wavering gaze returned to his face, and I smiled brightly at him. His expression grew dazed, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

By the time that night was over, the last country standing in Qin's way had fallen, and Qin had completed its unification. The young ruler of Qin suddenly had a handsome male consort by his side.

Half a year later, the male consort was with child.

According to the historical records of later generations, this bewitching consort threw the court into chaos, seduced ministers, and stirred up turmoil throughout the realm. Yet Emperor Qin silenced all dissent and gave him all the love he had to give.

Reader's notes

1. This Qin is not the historical Qin. The setting is fictional, so please don't scrutinize the details.

2. The top and bottom are each other's one and only first.

3. The main story is not written in first person.
