Chen Jiu: None of this has anything to do with me _(?□`" ∠)_ A mischievous, happy-go-lucky straight uke × a seme of unknown orientation Note: A goofy, melodramatic, slow-paced transmigration story. The content is entirely fictional, so please don’t apply it to real life. The seme switches between different identities; the uke is not loved by everyone, and the seme doesn’t have to suffer through a redemption arc. The side worlds have bad endings; the overall ending is happy. Coming soon, 1: "After Marrying My Archrival by Contract, I Couldn’t Get a Divorce" The Zhuang and Jiang families are close, but their sons are famous enemies. Whenever the two appear at the same event, it’s always full of verbal sparring. Yet their families arranged their engagement when they were children. Forced to marry, they lead a life of harmony in appearance only: They smile and chat in front of their parents, but neither gives an inch in private. Even the house is occupied only by Jiang Cheng. Zhuang Cheng goes over only when it’s time for an “inspection.” Then one day, Zhuang Cheng came home and accidentally caught sight of “himself.” ...A humanoid robot? What’s going on? Is Jiang Cheng using him as a punching bag? In a daze, Jiang Cheng murmured, “A-Cheng.” “A-Cheng” was a birthday present from his brother: a humanoid robot identical to Zhuang Cheng. Jiang Cheng had felt awkward about it at first, but soon realized how useful it was. It did the housework, treated him gently, and listened to his troubles. Apart from its face, it was perfect. “A-Cheng” moved stiffly, but Jiang Cheng didn’t notice. He hugged the robot’s arm like a spoiled child. “Tell me a bedtime story.” Zhuang Cheng, who had come home ready to confront Jiang Cheng, slowly raised a bewildered eyebrow. ...That’s it? That’s all? The two had signed an agreement long ago: after three years, they would divorce amicably on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences.” But when the day came, Zhuang Cheng refused to go through with it and angrily demanded, “Tell me, did you fall in love with that humanoid robot? Is that why you want to divorce me?” Jiang Cheng: ...Aren’t you both you? [Bonus Scene] Zhuang Cheng said solemnly, “Little Orange, you can only choose one: me or the robot. If you choose me, I’ll do the housework, treat you gently, warm your bed, and love you forever. What do you think?” Jiang Cheng: Only children have to choose. I want both. Zhuang Cheng: ???
