Coming next: Raising a Zombie Baby Is Hard, a transmigrate-into-a-book power fantasy
Blurb: Yun Qi worked himself to the bone for years in the apocalypse. When he transmigrated into a chaotic interstellar era, he decided to lie flat, and didn't even resist when he was sent off to marry for an alliance.
The man he was to marry was a rare gem Yun Qi wouldn't have found in his last life even with a lantern. Why would he resist?
The interstellar war was always raging outside, but someone taller was there to handle it, so Yun Qi didn't need to worry. As for the baby he'd conceived by accident, well, since he was pregnant, he might as well have the child!
His husband was handsome and capable, and their baby was innocent and adorable. What more could he ask for?
Until he accidentally discovered that his whole family was cannon fodder in an interstellar-unification novel. That's when he had enough.
His arrogance existed to make the protagonist's love interest look gentle and virtuous.
His husband's bravery existed to highlight the protagonist's exceptional intelligence.
Their baby's innocence and cuteness existed to make the protagonist's child look smart and clever.
So being too lazy to socialize counted as arrogance, being strong meant you were brave but stupid, and being innocent and adorable meant you were dumb? What kind of logic was that?
He was furious. If the protagonist's family wanted to climb over his family to get ahead, they'd better hope he was willing to let them.
He picked up the baby and headed for the chaotic star system. As for his husband, still out there spilling blood and risking his life beyond the planet, Yun Qi would let him cool off first.
When Long Zhan returned, he exploded. If the Alliance couldn't even protect his wife and child, what was the point of defending it? He turned around and went after his family.
After the whole family left, things went badly for the Alliance. Without its God of War, it lost its unity. No matter how clever the protagonist was, he couldn't hold back the allies below him, who were itching to revolt. Forget expanding the Alliance, they couldn't even hold onto their original star systems.
This is a short story, around 200,000 characters. If you enjoy short stories, feel free to bookmark it.
Next in the series: Raising a Zombie Baby Is Hard, a beloved-child power fantasy
Luo Ning was bitten by a zombie while rescuing someone. To avoid becoming a monster that ate people, he jumped into a sinkhole that even zombies avoided.
He never imagined he would survive. But when he regained consciousness and climbed out of the sinkhole, the world outside had changed beyond recognition, and the land was deserted.
Just as Luo Ning struggled to survive on Earth, the man said to be his fated mate appeared.
Lucifer had waited for over a thousand years, but his fated mate had never appeared. Just as he'd finally given up hope, he sensed his mate's presence and was overjoyed. But when he found his little mate struggling to survive on a desolate Earth, he was stunned.
By human standards, his little mate was still a minor. By the standards of the Starfolk, he was still a cub. Lucifer could only take him in and raise him, but the little guy was so hard to feed. He wouldn't eat this or that!
So Lucifer searched the entire interstellar realm for food for his little mate, only to discover that all his favorite foods were on Undying Star.
He tried to buy them, but the locals wouldn't sell. He tried to steal them, but he couldn't beat those monsters. His only option was to form a team and sneak in. What else could he do? Let his little mate go hungry?
The Undying Clan wasn't made up of pushovers. Before long, they came knocking. Just as they were about to kill him, Luo Ning suddenly flared with power, and the Undying Clan members immediately froze.
Don't get the wrong idea. They hadn't been attacked. They had received a distress signal from a cub.
The cub was using a frequency unique to the Undying Clan... to call for help. Yes, to the Undying Clan, that was a distress signal.
That thief leader wasn't just stealing their things, he was stealing their cub too! They couldn't let that stand. Their clan hadn't had a new member in tens of thousands of years, and this cub was the only one they'd ever had. They didn't care about fated mates, and they refused to recognize him!
Luo Ning thought he was lucky. Even after turning into a zombie, he had a mate and elders who cared for him. But only when the protagonist appeared did he learn that the fates of everyone on Undying Star had already been arranged.
He and everyone around him who loved him were stepping stones on the protagonist couple's road to success, there to give them experience.
Luo Ning wouldn't stand for it. Why should innocent people like them be made out to be villains and written off as cannon fodder?
Coming soon: The Marshal's Wife's Laid-Back Life, a transmigrate-into-a-book power fantasy.
Since transmigrating into a book, Ji Shu had lived a smooth, laid-back life, except for one thing: he couldn't get out of his hated childhood engagement.
Then his nominal fiancé, the marshal, fell into trouble, and everyone around him showed their ugly side.
His gentle, loving mother told him, "I'm not your mother. You're an unwanted bastard."
Having been born into this world, he knew perfectly well who his mother was. He'd just thought it was entertaining to watch her act every day, so he'd never called her out.
His kind and amiable father looked at him like a commodity. "With that face, you can still get the family a few benefits." So he'd finally stopped pretending to be a loving father.
His refined and graceful suitor dropped his disguise too. "Apart from your looks, you're useless. Forget becoming the crown prince's consort. You can settle for being a lover."
He didn't understand. How did a simp, so pathetic that even the protagonist's love interest wouldn't look twice at him, dare to come bark at him? Was it because he had a big face?
He'd figured it out. If he didn't hurry up and save the fiancé he couldn't stand, he'd probably be forced to play a vicious cannon-fodder villain in accordance with the plot.
For the sake of his future laid-back life, he might as well save his backup sooner rather than later. Whether saving him too soon would make the marriage even harder to break off was beside the point. Breaking the engagement wasn't important. Keeping his laid-back life was.
