[Blurb to Be Revised] Also known as Love Conquest Trap
Liu Siyun criticized a certain conquest game. The next morning, he woke up to find himself inside it. His punishment was to beat the game and reach its ending.
The game's mission was to make three men with wildly different personalities, all of whom desperately wanted to kill him, willingly offer him their souls.
*
Thanks to a prophecy, Liu Siyun became the god of the Star River Continent, revered and beloved by all. But the three madmen he had to conquer saw him as a thorn in their side. Afraid he would threaten their power and status, they abused and imprisoned him, doing everything they could to kill him.
Liu Siyun cursed them in his heart, but for the sake of the mission, he smiled and endured every bit of abuse and torment the three lunatics threw at him, secretly swearing to pay them back tenfold.
*
Under the game's forceful instructions, he had to help the three powerful men through life-or-death crises so he could change their hearts and make them fall in love with him.
So he went to great lengths to help the prince claim the throne.
The prince knelt before him on the throne's dais. "Now I finally understand my own feelings, my god. May I become your most faithful follower?"
After using all his divine power to heal the enemy nation's knight, who was on the brink of death, the crazed knight held him in his arms. "My divine lord, how foolish I was back then. Please forgive your admirer. I am willing to give my life for you."
Later, he risked his life to break into the altar and rescue the priest who was about to be executed.
Covered in blood, the priest smiled at him. "My beloved god, at last you have shown me mercy."
Facing the men who were begging for forgiveness and acting as if they would die without it, Liu Siyun smiled brightly. "Sure. Be my dogs. If I'm in a good mood, I might even throw you a few scraps of kindness."
What he had meant as an insult sounded like a blessing to the three men. They willingly put on their collars, with Liu Siyun holding the leash.
This time, it was his turn to toy with them. He was a natural at training dogs.
A few words of warning:
* The protagonist gets put through a little hardship early on, while the love interests get a lot of it later. All the love interests chase after the protagonist.
* Lots of author-created details, all in service of the plot.
