The Last Human in the Empire

[My new novel, The Mermaid Doesn't Want to Work After Marrying the Villain, is now underway. If you're interested, please add it to your collection, everyone. Thanks!]

The Imperial Capital Museum houses a precious exhibit: the frozen body of a human who has been dead for nearly a thousand years. On a calm, sunny afternoon, the human's heartbeat miraculously returns, and he opens his eyes during the exhibition.

He Xile knows he's dead, but suddenly regains consciousness. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself inside a glass container like a coffin. He can't move, and all around him are strange creatures at least two meters tall.

For a moment, they stare at each other.

He Xile: "Aaah!"

Strange creatures: "Aaaah!" They scatter in every direction.jpg

Later.

A new livestream quietly appears on the empire's biggest streaming platform. The last human "seed" in the interstellar world fumbles shyly with the camera. His hair is soft and fluffy, his glassy eyes gentle, and his delicate, fair face forms a smile. A tiny dimple appears as he says, "Hello, I'm He Xile."

The entire interstellar world goes wild: "He's so small and adorable! Just hearing him speak melts my heart! I want to spend money on him!!!"

"Maybe it's just my imagination, but after watching his stream, I feel full of energy and my mental state has improved. I have reasonable grounds to suspect he has a 'healing' ability."

"Is he an adult? Does he have a partner? I'm an Imperial general. Do I have a chance?"

The Emperor: "Sorry, he's mine."

Important: One-on-one romance, slow-burn relationship, and the top has octopus genes. Don't read if that bothers you. He Xile's name is pronounced 'le', meaning peace and joy.

A found-family healing story. This is my first time writing a story about everyone doting on the protagonist, so please forgive me if anything isn't quite right. The interstellar society is all made up, since I've never lived there. Just enjoy the story, don't scrutinize the details. Thanks QUQ
