Synopsis

This story is expected to go VIP around June 5. Thanks to all the little angels who've supported me along the way. Muah~

People across the Star Network say that General Bovell and his male spouse, Xie Yan, have a loveless marriage that is all show and no substance.

He was even late to his own spouse's funeral, arriving after it had begun. Only after the funeral was over and everyone had left did he stand silently by the grave for a long time.

The adjutant looked at the general's stern profile and tightly pressed lips, unable to guess what he was thinking.

Everyone said General Bovell had finally been freed from a marriage that had bound him for years. Only the adjutant saw him holding a small, transparent bag by the grave. Inside was a guppy.

The tiny guppy swam through the water, trailing a beautiful, elaborate tail. It moved slowly, like an old man nearing the end of his life.

It was very old. It had lived for a full eight years. Even though it was a variant, it had already lived far beyond the normal lifespan of its kind. It was easy to imagine how carefully it had been looked after.

It was a gift Bovell had given Xie Yan eight years ago.

It had lived to this day, but Xie Yan had not.

The adjutant felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help wondering if the general felt any reluctance to part with it.

But the answer was obvious. Bovell was a born war machine, like ice, like iron, indestructible and immovable, the most perfectly evolved individual of the Star Wars era...

With a heart forged from steel, his final act at the end of a thirty-seven-year marriage was simply to place the guppy gently on the gravestone.

But the guppy was simply too old. It gradually stopped swimming. A cloudy film covered its eyes, and its belly slowly turned white beneath Bovell's gaze.

Then it died, too.

Weak top x strong bottom

Notes:

# A reborn interstellar insectoid story. In the blurb, you can mentally replace the word "person" with "insect" as you read. Mpreg later on. The bottom falls for the top first.

# An old-school, melodramatic weak-top, harem story.

# The top has long pink hair, stands 178 cm tall, and is a delicate little darling with a very low HP bar. Very low.

# The bottom is seriously ill and occasionally loses control and goes berserk (meaning he crawls ominously along the walls). He's also slow to react in every way. His only real advantage might be his big chest (hides behind fingers).

# There's an 18-centimeter height difference. The bottom has to look down when kissing the top. If that's not your thing, read with caution.

Hey, passing readers, would you like to check out my next upcoming novel, Sunk Cost?

Blurb: In this zombie-infested world, you're a cold-blooded killer without a shred of feeling.

You obey your superior. He's an alpha, a natural leader with powerful mental strength, while you're just a beta.

But what nobody else knows is that you and your superior are lovers. You've been together for ten years. During the day, your superior glares at you with icy fury and presses the barrel of his gun to your head over a mistake at work. At night, he cuddles up to you in bed, calls you "baby," and says, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so mean to you today."

Sometimes he's thoughtful, giving you the illusion that he loves you. You thought things could go on like this forever.

Until one day, on the orders of his superiors, he abandons you at the most critical moment.

He shoots you through the chest, leaves you among the zombies, and walks away.

But unfortunately for him, you don't die.

So you turn dark.

Later, you make him pay for playing you like that.

Dark-hearted beta x ruthless, heartless alpha

# An ABO apocalypse setting, told primarily from the beta's perspective. At first, the alpha is the top and the beta is the bottom. Later, the beta becomes the top and the alpha the bottom, and the alpha also gets pregnant. Strictly speaking, this is a reverse-top story, and the reversal is permanent. The beta stays on top for the rest of the story.

Theme: Cherish and love beautiful things

(Contains a little main-character-as-the-receiver content) A very subjective reading log. Aside from camera-top and disposable-character-top stories, there isn't much I can't tolerate.
