After the Loyal Butler Turned Dark

[Rewriting after the paywall is removed. I'll make sure to finish it properly this time. Thank you for your understanding and patience.]

[Putting this aside for now. I'll come back when inspiration strikes.]

The year robotic butlers swept across the entire interstellar world, Han Siying, a pitiful girl whose parents had both died, was driven out of her relatives' homes one after another, then had her crush stolen by her best friend. At last, she received an unexpected surprise from her late father:

A hyper-realistic robotic butler!

The butler is devastatingly handsome, a perfect househusband type, utterly loyal at heart, and ridiculously capable.

He can scare off nasty relatives, mock her fake best friend, and even pose as the perfect boyfriend to make her former crush eat his words...

Han "Little Crybaby" Siying was completely satisfied. At last, her life had taken a turn for the better!

Until one day, the cute, fair-skinned, beloved girl her butler had raised came home clutching a bundle of love letters, beaming with delight.

The perfect butler finally dropped his disguise, revealing the claws he'd kept hidden. In an instant, he turned into a deranged obsessive, madly in love with his mistress and overflowing with possessiveness.

Han Siying: ...Oh?

And then her life took its second turn [lights a candle]

As the sole heir to Narkin, the most powerful empire in the galaxy, Noah possesses the most perfect genes. He also suffers from severe paranoia.

This hereditary mental mutation can only be stopped by finding a perfectly compatible gene match.

One day, the capricious crown prince accidentally received a brainwave transmission from a man whose daughter lived on a distant planet:

"May the gods protect my useless daughter, whose brain is just as stunted as her limbs!"

Noah (smiling, chin in hand): I've never met anyone so despised by her own father. I want to see her.

On a whim, he leapt into a black hole and headed straight for Auro Star, tens of thousands of light-years away.

But the very first time he saw her, his mutation stopped, their genes matched, and every drop of blood and every cell in his body began to seethe with restless excitement.

He saw the fear in her eyes, so after a moment's thought, he smiled and kissed the back of her hand:

"I am your personal butler, dear... young miss."

From the angle she couldn't see, his gaze instantly darkened with obsession and madness.

+++++++

Everyone in Narkin knows that the empire's only crown prince is a completely unhinged obsessive, a lunatic.

He'll blow up someone's planet on a whim, or start a war whenever the mood strikes.

So when he had another episode, went incognito to a low-level planet, and returned with a delicate, teary-eyed girl to crown as his queen, no one was particularly surprised.

The people: Just accept it. We're doomed sooner or later anyway.

Until one day, when the interstellar television station conducted a surprise interview with the royal family and accidentally captured this scene:

The sweet, well-behaved girl curled up on the sofa, clutching a globe and sobbing with tearful eyes.

The most powerful crown prince in the stars, a ruthless man who could turn the world upside down, braced both hands beside her and bent down to kiss her eyes. As he kissed her, he chuckled softly and coaxed her,

"I'll do as you say. I won't blow it up... my little mistress?"

Everyone: ...Maybe there's still hope for him?

Much later, when the little queen's identity and abilities were finally revealed, the people of Narkin learned what a treasure their crown prince had brought home.

[I was once as proud as the sun, yet I willingly bow before you]

Blurb:

Before ascending to immortality, Bu Yan's final mission was to enter a book and kill the evil Buddha who was about to be born.

But she got the timing wrong and arrived seven years too early.

At the time, the future evil Buddha was still a holy Buddha.

She leaned over the edge of an immortal mountain and saw the boy atop an altar revered by thousands. His face was stunningly beautiful, his white robes fluttering in the wind, immaculate and otherworldly.

Bu Yan: ...This is a little hard to do.

But fate could not be defied. Once he fell into evil, she would still have to kill him with her own hands.

.

To eliminate the evil Buddha as soon as possible, Bu Yan could only stir up trouble in every way she could, trying to make him turn evil sooner:

When bandits robbed them, she secretly sabotaged things and got Jian Zhou captured.

Unexpectedly, the bandit chief was a pretty-boy enthusiast. He was so struck by Jian Zhou's looks that he immediately abandoned evil and joined the authorities.

When Jian Zhou was tricked into entering a brothel, she called over all the court officials, hoping to ruin his reputation.

Instead, the head courtesan turned out to be the abducted daughter of a vassal prince. The people who rushed over witnessed the holy Buddha rescuing an innocent woman.

She even took great pains to expose the fact that the junior disciple he doted on was actually a spy sent by the emperor to watch him.

All it did was help the two reconcile, and the junior disciple turned into a total simp, gazing at Jian Zhou every day with sparkly eyes.

Bu Yan was utterly despairing. At her wit's end, she decided to sneak into Jian Zhou's room at night and poison him, cutting short his path to immortality.

But he happened to be struggling to advance, and the poison worked against itself, helping him break through instead.

"Yanyan, you've saved me from danger again and again... No one in this world has ever treated me as well as you have. I, Jian Zhou, swear I will never let you down!"

The boy gripped her little hand, cold sweat soaking his dark hair, his youthful voice firm and ringing.

Meeting his bright, starry eyes, Bu Yan felt her heart go hollow. Suddenly, she didn't want to see him become an evil Buddha.

.

On the day all the sects joined forces to hunt down Jian Zhou, Bu Yan sacrificed herself for the Dao, asking only that his path to immortality remain smooth and his righteous spirit strong.

When she opened her eyes again, a thousand years had passed. The evil Buddha had plunged the world into chaos, all life was devastated, and the gods and Buddhas throughout the heavens wailed.

She heard that during the great battle a thousand years ago, someone had witnessed the evil Buddha collapse to his knees in despair, pleading desperately as blood and tears fell like great beads of stone, and his hair turned white in an instant.

They said the little girl he loved had died the day before she was supposed to marry him.

And over the years, he had searched all six realms and eighty-two sects, but had not found a single person who could bring her back.
