Have You Eaten?

[Main story complete. Extra chapters will update every other day, or every two or three days.] The apocalypse arrived, and as order gradually collapsed, Wu Heng watched helplessly as the people around him died one by one, while lucky survivors awakened supernatural powers in succession. Only he remained as ordinary and unremarkable as he had been at school. Wu Heng stayed home with his parents and younger sister, too afraid to go anywhere. Their food supplies dwindled, and one night Wu Heng overheard his parents debating whether to eat his sister or him first. He quietly pushed open the master bedroom door. “Mom, I’m hungry. Can I have a bite of you first?” - Wu Heng left home with his younger sister and joined the large group of classmates. His sister noticed that his classmates were all cold toward them. They seemed to think her brother was just a useless weakling who couldn’t fight. But her brother wasn’t like that. Her brother could even tear ghosts apart and chew them up. - Several classmates had mysteriously gone missing. After taking attendance, the class monitor went to find Wu Heng. “Do you know where they went?” The class monitor was very direct. Wu Heng shook his head blankly. “No.” The class monitor narrowed his eyes. “Did you eat them?” “Did I eat, eat dinner? I did, I did.” Wu Heng started stammering. The class monitor clarified, “I’m asking whether you ate them.” The radiant look on Wu Heng’s face turned tense and awkward. “I only ate a little.” A sinister, quietly menacing, deceptively harmless man-eating flower of a bottom x a younger top who smells delicious, but whose tongue would be poisoned rotten if he licked him There will be a little stockpiling early on. Neither the top nor the bottom is particularly normal. Both are virgins. No swapping or reversing. Fictional setting. The next novel will probably be My Brother Is the Treacherous Minister. A pretty, brainless bottom who keeps using his brain for all sorts of things x a younger top who seems noble and open-hearted but is actually devious and ruthless. Lian Cheng transmigrated into a book, becoming a useless young master disliked by every positive character. The original owner had no talents or achievements and spent all day roaming the streets and alleyways, feeding stray cats and dogs, visiting brothels and listening to stories, and consorting with both men and women. Everyone in the Lian family was like him, except for Lian Xiusheng. He was simply the most “outstanding” of them all. At twenty, Lian Xiusheng passed the imperial examinations and entered the Hanlin Academy. He rose to become a grand councilor and grand preceptor. Almost every major family matter needed his approval. In public and in private, he was the one who ran the Lian household. He brought the Lian family a comfortable, lavish life and great prestige. But at the end of the book, he also brought the family utter ruin. “Obstructing the emperor’s access to information, usurping military authority, monopolizing state affairs, accepting bribes and colluding with others, persecuting loyal officials: a wicked, treacherous man who brought disaster to the people and the nation.” Only when the final judgment was passed did the Lian family wake up to the truth: their brilliant, powerful Lian Xiusheng had done nearly every last thing that could get their heads chopped off! - Once Lian Cheng realized he couldn’t return home, he immediately set a goal: he would steer Lian Xiusheng back onto the right path and make sure the whole Lian family wasn’t executed. Lian Xiusheng brought home antique paintings. Lian Cheng said, “Return them. We don’t want stolen goods.” Lian Xiusheng brought home boxes of priceless treasures. Lian Cheng said, “They’re probably fake. Give them back.” Lian Xiusheng hauled box after box of gold into the house. Lian Cheng nearly fainted. “Stop being so damn greedy. I’m begging you.” Not only that, Lian Cheng drove away one gift-bearing visitor after another. He practiced what he preached, too, buckling down and studying hard. He pestered Lian Xiusheng to learn, insisting he wanted to serve the people, help the emperor, and lighten Lian Xiusheng’s burden. It was all to keep Lian Xiusheng from having the time to get involved in all that shady business. Lian Xiusheng had noticed long ago. He said gently, “Second Brother, there’s no need to put so much effort into achieving your goal. Would you like to hear my way of doing it?” Lian Cheng: “Huh?” That day, several servants in the Lian household saw Second Young Master Lian Cheng come flying out of Lian Xiusheng’s study, looking like he’d seen a ghost. A few days later, Lian Cheng showed up in Lian Xiusheng’s study again and was thoroughly used by him. Theme: The simple pleasures of life are the sweetest.
