Synopsis

[For those who wanted to give the completed story five stars but couldn’t, please don’t give it four stars. That would make me want to personally kill Jinjiang for restricting readers’ right to rate stories. Just save your five stars for me in your heart.

Originally titled The Man Who Escaped Haitang City. The main story is complete, and the extras are being updated. My new story, He and It, is a collection of stories about nonhumans. If you’re interested, please visit my author page and enjoy a sea otter face-rubbing service!]

Yi Zhen opened his eyes and found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

Beneath him was an eight-hundred-square-meter bed, the kind he’d only ever seen in Haitang stories. Above him hung a dazzling Italian chandelier. His body was burning hot, as if he had a high fever, and his feet… Oh, his feet were chained to a massive gold chain.

What was going on?

Before he could make sense of it, a man’s image suddenly appeared with a buzz at the foot of the bed.

“So you finally spoke.”

The pale, handsome man smiled warmly and studied Yi Zhen with concern.

“I thought you’d never ask me for help, sister-in-law.”

Rong Hongxue was a well-known participant in Haitang’s widowed-sister-in-law stories, a seasoned, cold-blooded younger brother-in-law whose life had but one purpose: revenge. He was wild and unrestrained, completely unhinged, and never gave any sister-in-law a second thought.

Ever since he took charge of the family, he had basked in the joy of having successfully exacted his revenge and being a dutiful son. One day, on a whim, he decided to check on the delicate, soft little sister-in-law he had taken for himself

and that was the day his own house caught fire. His widowed sister-in-law had woken up and hit him with a combo attack, beating him until he spat up three pints of blood.

An ordinary widowed sister-in-law: She can save either her personality or her life, but not both. She’s powerless against her domineering younger brother-in-law, swallowing her anger every day and weeping into her pillow.

A special widowed sister-in-law: A master assassin and poison expert, able to shoot down an enemy airship with a single arrow from five hundred miles away, and chew live scorpions without batting an eye.

An ordinary younger brother-in-law: He preys on the weak, is worse than a beast, and treats conventional morality like dirt.

A special younger brother-in-law: He preys on the weak, is worse than a beast, treats conventional morality like dirt, and calls her sister-in-law… then gets a brutal beating when she swings her fists at him.

Reader’s guide: I’ve made major changes to the main plot. It’s no longer cheesy or outrageous, but it’s still a power fantasy.

A sci-fi setting, this time with a cyberpunk take on ancient-style aesthetics.

Both the top and the bottom are shameless, and neither is normal.

Thanks for all your support, everyone!

Thanks to my drinking buddy @Planet Crispy for polishing the blurb! This woman really has something special.

Theme: Build spiritual civilization and strive to be a spiritual young man.

Delicious Bottom-Centric Reads (For My Own Use)

Mostly quick transmigration, System, and reborn stories, often with alluring, teasing characters. Funny stories, strong agency, sweet couples, clever jokes, and trope-subverting plots are welcome too. I mainly follow ongoing serials and save the ones I've started so I don't forget about them.

Combative Couples

A record of rival couples I've read about. I prefer couples who are confidants, stand on opposing sides yet ultimately reach the same destination, and love each other while fighting. If they don't actually try to kill each other, I consider it just playful squabbling.

Underrated but Great

A rather subjective list of recommendations, mostly lesser-known stories. I personally prefer older love interests, melodrama, well-balanced plots and romance, smooth prose, and originality. I don’t self-insert, I just read.

100% Hopeless Romantics

The top. My definition of a truly love-struck character: losing you means losing the whole world; you are my whole world; if you die, I’ll die too, and the whole world can go to hell (?).
