On the eve of his divorce from Qin Zong, Jin Qing's husband got into a car accident and damaged his brain.

Selective amnesia.

At first, Jin Qing didn't think much of it. But one day after Qin Zong was discharged from the hospital, Jin Qing went to his home to discuss the divorce. Qin Zong pinned him to the sofa and asked, each word heavy with indignation, "You want to divorce me?"

His words were heartfelt, every syllable steeped in tears. It was almost too painful to hear.

Jin Qing: ? Hadn't we already agreed on this?

Qin Zong scolded him through his tears. "Who agreed with you? Didn't we just start dating?"

Jin Qing had a string of swear words on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he swallowed them along with his sobs.

Afterward, Jin Qing lit a cigarette, knocked away Qin Zong's hand as it reached for his waist, and asked irritably, "How old are you this year?"

Qin Zong said sadly, "Eighteen."

Jin Qing: ...

*

Only after seeing the hospital report did Jin Qing understand that Qin Zong hadn't been lying.

He really had lost his memories, but only the ones from after he turned eighteen.

The timeline had stopped exactly one day after the two of them started dating.

So, from Qin Zong's perspective, Jin Qing had just accepted his confession and then immediately dumped him.

Jin Qing: ...

I'm such a scumbag.

Rumor had it that the head of the Jin family had taken an eighteen-year-old pretty boy as his kept man before even finalizing his divorce.

The pretty boy was obedient, considerate, devoted, and gentle. They said he even looked a little like the man from the Qin family.

At a banquet, Jin Qing brought his "pretty boy" along, leaving everyone stunned.

"W-wait, isn't that Jin Qing's not-yet-ex-husband?"

Later, someone saw Qin Zong pin Jin Qing against a wall, tears streaming down his face. "Who are you really looking at through my eyes?"

Jin Qing: ...

Everyone: ...

They really know how to spice things up.

Qin Zong, after recovering his memories: Heh. It's just a kink.

Jin Xunyou, a top-tier succubus, was born in the Abyss and raised among thorns. His greatest talent was bewitching people with his dazzling phoenix eyes.

But after an accident, he wound up in the interstellar era and was summoned by a human.

The contract they formed became a shackle binding him.

According to the memories passed down to him, he would only be able to exist independently once his nominal master reached a certain level of power.

But he learned that his master was not only a useless man with unstable mental power and no susceptibility period, but also a walking time bomb who couldn't control his own abilities and could wipe out half the empire at any moment.

Jin Xunyou, who could knead mental power like dough, smiled. "Easy."

He looked down at the man's face and spoke in a voice as bewitching as a sea demon's. "Your troubles are in divine hands."

Qin Suqing had once been the empire's most powerful Alpha marshal.

In a single turn of events, he lost the war, was betrayed by everyone, and became a "useless man" in their eyes.

Until the summoning ritual, a once-in-a-lifetime event, when he summoned a succubus.

A slender figure appeared above the crystal ball.

Their fingertips touched. Qin Suqing's breath caught, as if he were looking upon a god.

Later, the empire's new ruler trapped the succubus on his throne. "Why did you help me?"

Jin Xunyou met his dangerous gaze. Too embarrassed to admit he'd only helped so he could get away and live freely, he smiled guiltily. "O-of course it's because you're handsome."

Qin Suqing casually pinched the succubus's tail, which had gone stiff with nerves. "Is that so?"

#You said you didn't have a susceptibility period#

#Liar#

Jia Mi is the only blood descendant of the Abyssal Lord, yet he's gentle and meek, has neglected his magic, and can't even manage the most basic task of seducing a soul into damnation. He's the shame of all demons.

With the succession looming, the old lord and his wife ruthlessly bundle up their useless son and send him to join a makeover show:

They seal his magic, strip him of all his money, and exile him to another world disguised as a human Omega.

On a poor, uncivilized border planet, a group of spoiled Alpha young masters are out hunting star beasts when a bewitchingly beautiful young man appears out of nowhere and captivates them all.

The handsome Omega they've picked up raises his obsidian-like eyes and timidly gathers his courage. "Um... actually, I'm the Abyssal Lord incarnate. Could you send me some money? Once I complete my great undertaking (the show), I'll repay you generously."

The black-hearted, rotten-to-the-core, spoiled troublemaker and prince, Si Hui, gives him a wicked smile. "Where'd this silly little thing learn such an ancient scam?"

I'll take him home and keep him for fun.

As the makeover show's deadline approaches, the old lord and his wife anxiously ask the production team, "Has our son finally realized how important it is to learn magic? Has he successfully seduced a human soul?"

The production team is sweating profusely.

"Realized... The young lord says magic can't compare to advanced technology. He's been admitted to the empire's top science academy and vows to devote his life to science."

"The new human emperor is utterly smitten with the young lord and completely devoted to him... Does that count as successfully seducing him?"
