Nightmare Rose (Infinite Flow)

[New book coming soon: Can an Honest Straight Guy Get Caught in a Love Triangle? Synopsis at the bottom. Please add it to your reading list!] For no apparent reason, Ji Li was pulled into a place called the Nightmare Livestream. He was transported into a dark, desolate castle, and lost consciousness after hearing a crow caw three times. When he woke up, Ji Li was lying on an altar made of white jade. He was dressed in a pristine white robe, his slender, pale limbs bound in silver chains. A pool of blood surrounded the altar, with silver crosses floating in it. [You are a human who has wandered into vampire territory. At midnight, you will be sacrificed on the altar as an offering at their blood feast.] Ji Li looked at the strange, unfamiliar surroundings and listened to the male voice coming from nowhere. His pretty little face was pale and fragile as he asked in a trembling voice, “Who are you?” [Nightmare Livestream System, ID 01, at your service.] A silver key floated up from the pool of blood. A bead of blood fell from it onto Ji Li's pale, beautiful cheek, as if staining a white rose with sin. He looked so lushly alluring, yet that white rose's gaze was so pure and innocent, inspiring an overwhelming urge to defile him. [It is now nine o'clock at night. You have three hours to escape.] Perhaps it was his imagination, but the voice claiming to be the System had taken on a husky, deep tone as it continued: [This key can unlock your chains. Now run, little rose.] At the same time, all the viewers in the Nightmare Livestream went wild. The System's ID 01, representing the highest level of authority, had actually come online. A delicate, sweet beauty, a darling adored by everyone, receptive x obsessive, mad-dog, possessive and utterly shameless, dominant with split personalities A wildly indulgent, sweet, melodramatic love triangle with no brains required. Secret identities revealed, with a little groveling after the chase. Both are virgins, one-on-one, happy ending. Content warning: Includes past-life and present-life themes. The receptive is split into two, and the two parts are kept quite separate, but they are indeed the same person. None of the dominant's split personalities has ever touched anyone except the receptive who enters the game. Explaining the backstory would spoil a lot, since it involves the main plot and the reason the worlds were created, so I won't explain it here. If you don't mind, go read it and find out. But if you do mind, run! -------New book coming soon------- Can an Honest Straight Guy Get Caught in a Love Triangle? Shi Qiu has been finding things strange lately. His belongings keep disappearing. Sometimes it's an ordinary ballpoint pen, sometimes a T-shirt, and sometimes something much more intimate. His usually peaceful life also takes a dramatic turn when three outstanding suitors suddenly appear around his beloved younger brother, and Shi Qiu is the only way they can learn what his brother likes. The warm, sunny campus heartthrob loves asking Shi Qiu about his younger brother, then taking his hand and asking if doing this would make his brother uncomfortable. The accomplished, aloof upperclassman also approaches Shi Qiu to learn more about his brother. Every time they say goodbye, he gives Shi Qiu a polite hug, though the difference in their strength is so great that Shi Qiu can barely breathe. Then there's the gloomy, unapproachable boss at the company where Shi Qiu is interning. To better impress his brother, the boss takes Shi Qiu, whose build is similar to his brother's, and personally measures him for custom-made clothes. But why does he need to measure every last scrap of fabric? Come to think of it, things only started going missing after these people showed up. They have perfectly reasonable excuses for spending time around Shi Qiu, but something still feels off. So he tells his younger brother about everything that's happened lately. His brother listens, then smiles brightly, wraps his arms around Shi Qiu's waist, and rubs his chin against his shoulder. “Big brother, they want to pursue me, learn what I like, and know my measurements. Making sure I'm comfortable is the bare minimum. Otherwise, why should I be with them?” His brother adds, “Big brother, they're practicing on you so they can treat me better in the future. I only have you, and you want me to be happy, right? So you'll personally choose the person who's best for me, won't you?” Then his brother says, “Big brother, it's okay that you're straight. Just help me check them out, so I don't get taken advantage of without realizing it.” Shi Qiu still feels that something is wrong, but he wants his brother to be happy. So even though he's a little uncomfortable, he continues to cooperate. But... After waking up in his dorm, he finds a few red marks on his body. After drinking the milk his upperclassman gives him, he becomes terribly drowsy. The underwear his boss bought him always feels a little damp for some reason. When his rivals meet, they fight over his water cup and covet the half an ice pop left in his mouth. The looks they give each other are practically murderous, radiating a vicious hostility they can't control. Even though he's straight, these changes are so clearly wrong that Shi Qiu understands something is going on. He anxiously tells his younger brother how uneasy he feels. His brother hands him a glass of milk, and Shi Qiu falls into a fantastical, distorted dream. In the dream, his younger brother is no longer pure and innocent. Something strange seems to writhe behind him as he snarls at the three familiar figures beside him: “Idiots! Big brother almost figured it out!” Shi Qiu sees four pairs of identical eyes, cold and cruel, yet filled with intense obsession and desire whenever they look at him. The next day, he wakes up in his school dormitory. His younger brother says he didn't come home last night, but Shi Qiu finds evidence in his room that he did. Now even his younger brother is acting strange. Shi Qiu stumbles away in a panic and accidentally falls into the arms of Lu Jingbai, the newly appointed head of the Lu family. The man is gentle, refined, dignified, and dependable. He carefully soothes Shi Qiu, while the other four figures haunt him like nightmares. Only by Lu Jingbai's side can he feel safe. Until one day, he accidentally sees four familiar figures twisted together in the shadow of the man showering in the bathroom. Theme: Always remain kind and strong
