My Darkened Husband Came After Me from the Book

After Lu Qingci transmigrated back from a book, he was left with some strange aftereffects.

For no reason, he was afraid of the puppy his family had raised since he was little. Whenever he heard a stray cat in heat by the roadside, he couldn't help taking a detour. While working, he often felt such an itch at the base of his spine that he wanted to pull down his pants.

During a variety show, he wolfed down a carrot carving that had just been made for a photo shoot.

While filming a drama, he passed out from the heat in the middle of the set in broad daylight, and got dragged online as a pretty boy who couldn't take hardship.

At night, he couldn't resist picking up dead branches from under the trees and hiding them in his arms to take home. He even made a little nest beside his bed.

He was listless during the day, but at night he couldn't help getting up and devouring food.

He thought he had some incurable disease and was about to make a doctor's appointment when a variety show brought on a guest said to be incredibly rich.

Lu Qingci stared at that handsome, domineering, cold, and ruthless face, as if he were looking at the countdown to his own death.

What kind of conglomerate CEO was this? Why did he look so much like the male lead he'd wronged in the book?

"Ding-dong."

The missing System suddenly came online. "A friendly reminder: He Jinnian has turned dark. He's here for revenge."

Lu Qingci: ?

The System: "We will do everything in our power... our best to protect the Host."

Lu Qingci: "...I am so screwed."

*

Everyone familiar with He Jinnian knew he was looking for someone, someone whose face he couldn't remember.

Lu Qingci probed, "What will you do when you find that person?"

He Jinnian glared at Lu Qingci with a murderous look and gritted out, "Kill him."

Lu Qingci: "...W-we live in a society governed by law."

He Jinnian's face turned vicious. "Then I'll break his legs and lock him in a dark room."

Lu Qingci: "Eek..."

The blurb for my next book, After the Top-Tier Star and the Movie Emperor Marry Under a Contract. Please add it to your favorites QAQ

1.

Lin Ye had been a neat freak and a pretty-face enthusiast since childhood. He started flirting with cute, fair-skinned kids in kindergarten, and until his second year of high school, when his secondary gender was revealed, he was the neighborhood tough guy and everyone else's boyfriend.

The result was that he was an Omega, a defective one whose secondary gender manifested years later than other people's.

His nemesis, Lu Duanxing, was an Alpha, an exceptionally dominant one.

Lin Ye had hated Lu Duanxing since kindergarten, because every pretty boy Lin Ye liked would turn around and confess to Lu Duanxing instead. That smug little jerk Lu Duanxing would always parade around with them in front of Lin Ye, showing off their love.

Just before the college entrance exams, a talent scout discovered Lin Ye. After the exams, he was sent to compete on the hottest boy-band survival show of the year, where he successfully debuted in a group.

Just when he thought he was finally going to beat Lu Duanxing at something, Lu Duanxing suddenly announced he was signing with an entertainment agency to become an actor.

A few years later, Lin Ye became a top-tier star in the music scene thanks to his gorgeous voice and flawless dancing, while Lu Duanxing won every award there was to win in the acting world and became the youngest grand-slam movie emperor.

Each reigned supreme in his own field, and they never appeared on screen together.

The two fanbases could turn even their online fights into a spectacular sight.

2.

Just when Lin Ye thought he and Lu Duanxing could avoid each other for the rest of their lives, his identity as a fake young master was exposed. A slew of scandals followed, with selectively edited recordings, videos, and photos all turning into knives lodged in his back.

The career-ending scandal alarm sounded.

On top of that, Lin Ye was betrayed by his agent and almost sent to an old man's bed.

That night, Lin Ye stumbled into Lu Duanxing's room by accident.

The next day,

Lu Duanxing handed him a prenuptial agreement.

"Marry me under a contract, and I'll settle the scandals for you."

Suppressing the urge to spit in Lu Duanxing's face, Lin Ye asked, "Why did you choose me?"

Lu Duanxing: "I'm allergic to Omega pheromones, but yours are the exception."

Lin Ye burst out laughing. "Sure, but I have one condition. Other than when I need you during my heat, you don't have to fulfill your marital duties. Also, we'll sleep in separate rooms."

Lu Duanxing: "No problem."

3.

Lin Ye and Lu Duanxing had just come out of the civil affairs office with their marriage certificate when the news hit the internet.

Both fanbases: ???

Big bro, if you've been kidnapped, blink twice.

To salvage their rapidly collapsing reputations, Lin Ye had no choice but to act like a loving husband with Lu Duanxing, even appearing together on a dating reality show.

The two followed a script for playing a loving couple.

Lu Duanxing didn't eat green peppers, so Lin Ye put a huge bowlful on his plate.

Lin Ye was wild by nature but afraid of haunted houses, so Lu Duanxing dragged him in for an adventure.

One ate until his face turned green, the other came out pale as a sheet, and both still had to thank the other for being so thoughtful and hold hands while serving up artificial sweetness.

Comments during the broadcast: You two are fake spouses, right? Even the couples on the divorce reality show next door are more loving than you.

CP fans: Make it work if you can. If you can't, get divorced.

Later, a trending topic appeared on Weibo: #HaveThoseSpousesWhoseCPFansKeepTellingThemToDivorceBrokenUpYetToday?#

Lin Ye: Divorce, right now. I'll get a taxi to go file.

Lu Duanxing: Wife, I'm sorry.

Lin Ye: What did you do wrong?

Lu Duanxing: Last night, I shouldn't have kept going when you said no

Lin Ye: Damn it, Lu Duanxing, your livestream is still on.

Lu Duanxing: Oh, it's still on~

Fans: Lu Duanxing, you really are something!

Fans: The evolution of a scheming dog.

Theme: Life is full of surprises. Keep going, and things will eventually turn around for the better.
