Blurb:

He's also a zombie dad with a little zombie.

To feed his baby, a zombie king joined an opera troupe.

II

A popular entertainment star is exposed for having a child.

Zhao Xi says, "Yes, I have a child."

The media eagerly asks about the child's mother.

Zhao Xi smiles faintly and says, "We had a child when our relationship was at its most passionate, and then he suddenly disappeared. I've been looking for him all these years."

The media and audience: "Whoa." That's a lot to take in.

Zhao Xi continues, facing the camera: "After all these years, if you don't want to be with me anymore, just say so. What kind of person abandons his husband and child?"

Qin Qichen: ...

III

Qin Qichen is the most powerful celestial master in the modern occult world. Knowing what fate has in store, he's always been prepared for a short life.

As for his supposed zombie lover from a past life, his initial response is: "Hah. What does a lover from my past life have to do with me, Qin Qichen?"

Later...

Qin Qichen wonders how a person is supposed to outlive a zombie.

Reading Guide:

1. Characters: neurotic, resentful queen of a zombie shou x playful, amnesiac, short-lived celestial master gong.

2. A story with children, including one little zombie!

3. I changed the premise a little. The previous one wasn't working, so the characters and framework have changed. Apologies to anyone who minded.

4. My love of zombies was inspired by Taoist priest Lin Zhengying, Mr. Chen Shisan, and "My Date with a Vampire," but this story's plot and setting are entirely my own original fiction!

Please add my upcoming novel: "The Dark-Skinned Alpha Who Unexpectedly Differentiated into an Omega"

Blurb:

Ever since Jiang Yan was little, he heard one thing more than anything else: he was sure to become an Alpha.

His parents, classmates, brothers, rivals, and even the delicate beauty who eventually started following him all said the same thing.

He hadn't cared about gender to begin with, but the sweet beauty's constant calls of "big brother" gradually made him certain of his future.

The little beauty said, "Big brother is amazing. I really want to smell your pheromones. I'm sure they'll be the best scent in the world."

The little beauty also said, "I feel so safe by your side. I want to stay with you forever."

Jiang Yan thought that if he didn't mark the little beauty in this lifetime, he would be letting down the heart that this sugar-sweet little beauty had set ablaze.

He waited a long time, finally making it to the year of his gender differentiation.

As the little beauty held him and said softly, "Whether you differentiate into a Beta or an Alpha, I want you, big brother," Jiang Yan was deeply moved and reassured. Then he suddenly received a report confirming that he had differentiated into an Omega.

Jiang Yan: ???

II

Jiang Yan was born dark-skinned, with clearly defined muscles. He'd been fierce since childhood, and everyone who saw him assumed he'd be an Alpha, or a Beta at the very least.

No one had ever imagined he might differentiate into an Omega.

He hadn't imagined it either.

Looking at his well-defined pecs and abs, he fell into a deep depression.

After three days of brooding, Jiang Yan still couldn't accept it. He felt too ashamed to face his hometown friends and had no idea how to face his sweet, sugar-sweet little beauty.

So he deleted all his brothers' contact information, moved to another city, and disappeared without a trace.

Then, two years later...

At a college basketball tournament, he was stunned to spot the delicate beauty from his past on the court, playing for a team said to be made up entirely of Alphas.

Jiang Yan: ???

He was still reeling from the fact that the little beauty had differentiated into an Alpha when, that very night, the little beauty's intense Alpha pheromones flooded into his body.

The delicate beauty who used to make Jiang Yan carry him everywhere picked Jiang Yan up, carried him into a room, and pinned him down through his rut.

With red eyes, the little beauty said with deep affection, "No matter what you differentiate into, I want you, big brother."

Jiang Yan looked at the bite marks covering his body, supported his thoroughly exhausted frame, and said to him with a tremble, "...Maybe you don't have to want big brother after all."

Reading Guide:

1. Character setup: a fit, tsundere, dark-skinned, straight-guy golden-retriever Omega versus a scheming, dark-hearted, sweet-faced beauty of an Alpha.

2. Sweet romance, happy ending.

3. There will probably be children later in the story. Pregnant, fit, dark-skinned shou is my thing, after all.

4. I can't think of anything else. I'll add more if anything comes up.

Theme: Don't make careless vows. Focus on what is right in front of you.
