1.

His twin brother was accidentally injured just before the start of term. Unable to withstand his brother's endless pleading, Cheng Qingwu agreed to attend the elite military academy known as Canglu in his place for one month.

An Omega of only average talent, Cheng Qingwu had dropped out of school at a young age. He opened a small restaurant in the countryside to earn money for his younger brother's education, and the two brothers relied on each other to get by.

Cheng Qingwu's spirit form was a white cat. Gentle by nature, he was equally at home entertaining guests and cooking in the kitchen. His little restaurant was thriving, and all the neighbors liked him and often came by to support his business.

To take his brother's place at school, Cheng Qingwu entrusted the restaurant to a neighbor, packed his bags, and headed into the city.

On his first day, while checking in, he misread dorm room 606 as 909 because he wasn't familiar with the navigation system, and accidentally wandered into a red zone.

2.

A monster lived in the red zone.

He was an undefeated legend from ancient times, the military academy's top student, and the Empire's most valued First Marshal. He had an invincible physique and an utterly monstrous level of combat prowess.

The Marshal was an Alpha, and his spirit form was a black dragon.

Everyone knew that the Federation had matched the Marshal with more than a dozen partners, but in the end, some were injured, some died, and others left.

It was because the Marshal's spirit form often went berserk. No one could withstand the devastating damage it caused. He struck terror into the entire military academy, and everyone kept their distance.

As a result, the Marshal lived alone year-round, and his residence was known as the "Red Zone."

No one dared trespass there.

3.

Completely unaware of all this, Cheng Qingwu entered the red zone on his very first day.

He marveled at how spacious the dorm was, and that it even came with a huge lake.

By the lake, he saw his new roommate. Uh, why wasn't the other guy wearing any clothes?!

A tall, powerfully built young man surged out of the vast, dark water and onto the shore. Two wet, razor-sharp dragon horns rose from his head, and he had a flopping live fish in his mouth.

As he came ashore, the man looked down at Cheng Qingwu. His eyes were as cold as frost-covered blades. Like an untamed beast, he radiated raw, primitive wildness.

The immense pressure made Cheng Qingwu so frightened that cat ears and a tail appeared on him right there.

Shyly turning his back, he thought that men in big cities were really open-minded, casually swimming naked outdoors like that.

After the man put on his military uniform, Cheng Qingwu walked up to him and smiled brightly. "Classmate, can I have that fish? It would be much better braised or steamed than eaten raw."

4.

After that, Cheng Qingwu often cooked for his roommate in his spare time.

His roommate was cool and taciturn, always giving off a sinister, terrifying air. But after spending more time together, Cheng Qingwu decided he was just an introvert with a hidden flirtatious side.

Cheng Qingwu loved how his roommate silently ate everything he made, then rasped, "Is there more?"

He was so adorable!

The poor guy must never have had a proper hot meal growing up.

Cheng Qingwu had also noticed that nobody at the military academy wanted to talk to his roommate. Maybe they were deliberately ostracizing him.

Sigh, he must have had a hard life.

Cheng Qingwu grew more and more sympathetic toward his roommate, taking even greater care of him, unaware that his roommate's gaze was growing increasingly obsessive and strange.

5.

It wasn't until a month later that Cheng Qingwu realized he'd been staying in the wrong dorm, and that his roommate wasn't an ordinary person.

Everyone was astonished that he was still alive, and they eagerly asked him in private what he thought of the Marshal.

Cheng Qingwu thought the Marshal was pretty nice. The Marshal helped him with his homework, taught him to pilot a mecha hands-on, and was extremely competent at his job, apart from occasionally cuddling up to him and nuzzling him in his sleep.

However, on the night Cheng Qingwu moved out of the dorm, the Marshal blocked his way.

The Marshal's eyes were unfathomably deep, filled with undisguised possessiveness. "Try moving out, and I'll break your legs."

Cheng Qingwu: "...!"

He was too scared to disobey.

6.

His younger brother finally recovered from his injury. While the Marshal was away, Cheng Qingwu quietly moved back to the countryside and sent his brother back to the military academy.

Cheng Qingwu was delighted to be able to run his little restaurant again.

He believed that time could wash everything away, and that the Marshal would soon forget about him.

Little did he know that the very next day, his younger brother would call in the middle of the night, begging him to return to Canglu Academy.

The Marshal had gone mad searching everywhere for him. His spirit form had suddenly gone berserk, and if Cheng Qingwu didn't appear before him, he would raze the entire Canglu Academy to the ground.

[He went to school in his brother's place, and came home with a monstrous top he couldn't shake off :)]

"After Shrinking, I Ended Up at My Secret Crush's House"

Lu Jian was studying in the UK. Student life there was hard enough, and the UK was also famously a culinary wasteland, so Lu Jian was often hungry and couldn't get enough to eat.

Once, he went to a famous temple in Chinatown to pray, hoping the gods would grant him someone who could fill his stomach.

After that, Lu Jian discovered that every night after nine, he would transmigrate across the ocean to the home of his secret crush, Qin Muye, and turn into a tiny person just five centimeters tall.

Lu Jian had a crush on Qin Muye. Qin Muye was outstanding, cool and ascetic, with a perfect eight-pack and broad shoulders. He always fastened his buttons all the way to the top. Even in high school, he had been a famous heartthrob, making countless boys and girls fall for him.

Back then, Lu Jian had been Qin Muye's invisible roommate. He'd planned to confess, but Qin Muye was famously homophobic and had already turned down quite a few guys.

Lu Jian was somewhat socially anxious to begin with. Afraid that confessing would ruin their friendship, he finally put those romantic thoughts out of his mind.

After graduating from high school, they went their separate ways and became no more than occasional likes on each other's social media posts.

Lu Jian had always quietly followed Qin Muye's social media.

Qin Muye studied astrophysics at university and was the physics department's star student, but he loved cooking in private. He often made all kinds of delicious food at home, and had five million followers on D Station.

Lu Jian was one of those five million followers. Every time he watched Qin Muye make something delicious, he nearly died of hunger.

That night, Lu Jian transmigrated into Qin Muye's kitchen. As a tiny person only five centimeters tall, he found himself facing a gigantic bowl of chilled cherry cake.

Lu Jian wept tears of joy and gratitude, then leaped on it and gobbled away.

He'd only sneak a tiny little bite. Qin Muye wouldn't notice, right?

After eating his fill, Lu Jian held his bulging little belly and felt completely satisfied.

The gods had answered his prayers. Qin Muye was the person who could fill his stomach!

Over the next two months, Lu Jian secretly mooched food and drink while taking the time to figure out how his transmigration worked.

His landing spot was completely random. Sometimes it was the coffee table, sometimes the gym, sometimes the robot vacuum, and sometimes even the bathroom!

Then one time, he happened to transmigrate into the bathroom just as Qin Muye was taking a shower.

Through the milky-white steam, the man's eight-pack was faintly visible. Lu Jian hid in Qin Muye's pajama pocket, showing only a head the size of a pinky fingernail. He gazed over shyly and sighed,

"Muye really is a disciplined man. So many years have passed. Ordinary old classmates have gone bald or grown big bellies, but he still looks just the same."

Lu Jian had always thought Qin Muye hadn't noticed him. After Qin Muye fell asleep, Lu Jian secretly crawled out of the pajama pocket and made his way to the pillow.

He admired Qin Muye's sleeping face for a while, then, overcome by his good looks, decided to sneak a kiss on his nose.

But his sneaky little move was discovered by Qin Muye's white cat.

Before he could steal a kiss, the cat picked him up in its mouth, mistaking him for a mouse.

The cat proudly meowed at Qin Muye over and over.

In the chaos, Lu Jian tried desperately to break free, not wanting Qin Muye to find out about him. He finally managed it, but nearly fell into the trash can, which was twenty centimeters tall, or twenty meters tall in the tiny person's world.

A pair of warm, sturdy hands caught Lu Jian.

Still shaken, Lu Jian looked up and met the man's dark, searching gaze.

Qin Muye had actually woken up!

Caught red-handed, Lu Jian was mortified. He imitated a mouse and squeaked.

He wanted Qin Muye to think he was a mouse and throw him in the trash. He'd transmigrate back in the morning anyway.

But Qin Muye smiled and rubbed Lu Jian's messy hair with his index finger.

"You little rascal, you've been living in my house for ages. Aren't you going to come clean?"

Qin Muye had noticed Lu Jian's presence from the very beginning.

One big White Rabbit candy disappeared from the fridge every day.

The jars of candy on the coffee table showed signs of being rummaged through.

The robot vacuum was often used at night, and every morning when he woke up, it had only one bar of battery left.

Qin Muye thought a mouse had gotten into the house. He put out rat poison, but it didn't work.

So Qin Muye checked the security footage, only to discover a tiny person was behind it all.

Taking a closer look, Qin Muye realized that the tiny person looked exactly like the person he'd had a crush on in high school.

Qin Muye had always secretly loved Lu Jian. But Lu Jian was so timid and shy, and didn't like talking to people. Qin Muye was afraid a confession would scare him, so he kept holding back.

Qin Muye followed Lu Jian on Instagram and often saw him posting about wanting delicious food. So Qin Muye started learning to cook and became a food blogger, hoping to get Lu Jian's attention this way.

Now, although Qin Muye hadn't known Lu Jian could become so tiny, he could finally feed him openly and without having to hide it.

Since Lu Jian had come to him, Qin Muye didn't want to let him go so easily.

If Lu Jian really did transmigrate back to the UK during the day, Qin Muye would simply fly there to find him.

Later on.

Qin Muye's total followers across the internet passed ten million.

He started a livestream for the first time.

All his online followers were watching Qin Muye cook.

And right at that moment, a slender, pretty young man appeared behind him. The man rubbed his sleepy eyes and called his name. "When will the pumpkin and lily porridge be ready?"

Qin Muye affectionately pinched his cheek. "Soon, honey."

The young man muttered impatiently, "Then hurry up."

"Okay."

That famously cool food blogger actually had a husband?!

The whole internet went wild.
