They Regretted It After I Became a Monster

[The novel is officially complete. A bow of thanks to all the sweethearts who supported and accompanied me along the way.]

Su Wu's whole life was miserable. His father loathed him, his brothers hated him, and even the person he loved wouldn't turn back to look at him.

From school days to adulthood, Su Wu loved one man for ten years. From a naive, inexperienced boy to a grown man, he quietly stayed by his side the whole time.

Ten years later, he finally got his wish and married him. But the cold treatment after their wedding left him like a fish trapped in a plastic bag, suffocating. The helpless feeling that he couldn't escape soon left him gaunt and haggard.

One day, unable to take it any longer, Su Wu lay in the bathtub and ended his suffocating, painful life.

But he never expected that he was actually a disposable character in a book. Even loving someone had been arranged for him.

His heart full of grief, he was utterly devastated.

And at that very moment, he realized that something was wrong with him. He couldn't go out in the sun and couldn't stand the heat. His fingertips and hair grew at a frightening rate, his skin grew paler, and his face became more and more beautiful, its vivid, dazzling allure seeming capable of swallowing everyone's gaze.

Thinking he had become a monster, he hid away.

But the people who had loathed and hated him searched for him like madmen after he disappeared.

Especially the person he had once held dear. Now he was like a mad dog, searching everywhere for him in the pouring rain, eyes bloodshot.

Su Wu watched in confusion as they went mad for him, looking regretful.

Then he tried to leave with an umbrella, but he never expected someone to reach out and soothe his chill.

"I found you. I'll take you home."

The person before him had a low, tender voice, trying little by little to pry open his cold heart.

He bought him a large freezer, trimmed his nails and cut his hair every night, and was always the one holding the umbrella whenever they went out.

Upcoming novel:

The Skeleton Widow's Child-Rearing Plan [Quick Transmigration]

Blurb:

Song Ran was a widower, living all alone in the world until he eventually became a skeleton.

Then one day, a guy claiming to be a System found him. He said that if Song Ran helped several poor little ones get through their miserable childhoods and grow up to become upstanding young adults, then once they reached adulthood, Song Ran could leave and see his husband again.

So he transmigrated into a book.

Poor Kid Number One:

He never had enough to eat or decent clothes to wear. His stepmother bullied him, his younger brother picked on him constantly, and then he was abandoned in a trash can. After growing up, he turned evil and killed everyone who had bullied him.

After Song Ran transmigrated into his world,

he stroked the boy's little head and boiled the bones he'd removed from his own body.

"Be good, sweetheart. I'll make you some bone broth."

Poor Kids Number Two:

They were twins. Their family was superstitious and thought twins were bad luck, so they raised the two boys like dogs. Once grown, the twins made everyone who had bullied them live like dogs.

After Song Ran took them in:

"Sweethearts, don't bite my bones. They're really brittle."

Poor Kid Number Three:

A doll-like little boy. Because he was so cute, he was sold to an underground city, where his warped values turned him into a villain who did every kind of evil.

After Song Ran took him in:

"Sweetheart, you need to study hard. Don't end up like me, an uneducated, penniless skeleton who can only make you broth from his own bones."

Then, after all the poor little ones had grown up,

Song Ran retired after completing his mission, only to discover that in every world there was always someone who looked a lot like his darling. Later, he learned that it really was his darling.

Meanwhile, all the poor little ones had become powerful figures in their own worlds and were searching everywhere for Song Ran.

They finally gathered together when the worlds merged.

As they listed their mothers' qualities, several of them wore smug expressions.

"My mother can take his bones off and make me soup."

"Mine can too."

"My mother even lets us gnaw on his bones."

"My mother calls me sweetheart."

"My mother is a skeleton."

The others: "??"

Mom, how many other babies have you been raising behind our backs?

Top's POV:

Yuan Chengzhen had lost his memory. He wandered through every world, his subconscious urging him to find someone.

He couldn't remember what the other person looked like. He only remembered him saying, all pitifully, "Yuan Chengzhen, if you die, I'll be a widow while you're still alive."

At last, he found him.

Only, when he finally saw the person he'd been longing for, the man immediately pulled off his bones, boiled them into soup, and excitedly asked him to drink it.

Yuan Chengzhen: "..."

After finally getting together with the person he'd longed for, a group of people surrounded them one day and asked with aggrieved expressions:

"Mother, have you been secretly raising more babies again?"

Yuan Chengzhen, accused of being one of the babies: "??"

Theme: Respect and treat others well.
