Pretending to Be Weak [Quick Transmigration]

[From the top's perspective]

You must be handsome and powerful, beyond anyone's reach.

You must have some shameful burden, some hidden pain.

He must discover the vulnerability you keep hidden from the world.

You must make him feel like the winner,

stir up his desire to claim you,

and let him take you.

Once he succeeds,

you can begin to enjoy yourself.

The Philosophy of Feigned Weakness: Excerpt from Shi Ruo's Speech at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Quick Transmigration Division's Star Employee

[From the bottom's perspective]

He stands high above me, flawless and perfect.

He is my benefactor, my shelter, my savior.

And I, curled up in the shadows,

wait for his moment of weakness.

Then I sink my fangs into him!

Make him weak, make him ugly.

Drag him down into my filthy arms.

Make him mine, and control him as I please.

Yu Qiangqu's Confession

A powerful background character who pretends to be weak, painstakingly scripts his own forced-love scenario, maximum difficulty to win his heart, mission-taker top*

A bottom-to-top reversal, if he can't conquer his heart, he'll conquer his body, forced love by any means, self-righteous mission-target bottom

He takes him by exploiting his weaknesses, but those same weaknesses he exploits mean he'll never truly win him.

[World One: A wealthy entertainment industry: powerful top who falls in love through acting*ambitious actor bottom]

"Fall in love on set and want to keep me? Sure," he replied, laughing darkly to himself.

All he had to do was play his role in front of the other man, and the other man would do anything he asked.

With the other man's guidance, he learned to dominate the business world, avenged his past life, and took all of the man's assets, winning back his freedom. Then he turned around and imprisoned him, repaying in full the humiliation of once being kept by a man. The other man had no complaints and still did whatever he said.

But then: "Look at me! Don't look at me like that! You need to get out of character! That was just a role! Why won't you look at me?"

Later: "Look at me. Did I act like him? It doesn't matter if you can't get out of character, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to look at me. At least the person you love is the one I'm playing."

"I'm out of character."

[World Two: A galactic world with two Alphas: adoptive-father top, the Empire's hidden leader*adopted-son bottom, leader of the rebellion]

Under the pressure of the Empire's hidden leader, the rebel army was constantly on the run, never knowing a moment's peace. During an assassination mission, Yu Qiangqu, the rebel leader, fell into a trap and had his glands marked by the Empire's hidden leader, who was also an Alpha.

When Yu Qiangqu got home that day, he smelled the pheromones of the Empire's hidden leader on his adoptive father, who always claimed to be a Beta, as he cooked in the kitchen.

When they met again, Yu Qiangqu had the upper hand. "Your Excellency, the Empire's hidden leader, your adopted son is in my hands. Surprised?"

"What do you want?"

"Kneel, bow your head, and expose your glands."

[World Three: A Western fantasy court: widowed emperor top*rebel minister and evil god bottom]

The current emperor is a wise and accomplished ruler, famed for his peerless martial prowess. With long arms, a narrow waist, and a face as handsome as the blazing sun, he has inspired countless men and women to dream of winning one night of his favor and comforting his loneliness since the empress's death.

Only the treasonous Yu Qiangqu knows that the emperor's love and obsession deepen with every passing day. He'll do anything to resurrect his dead wife, even secretly kneeling before the image of an evil god.

With anger and shame repressed, slimy, grotesque tentacles curl around his ankles, while his dignified robes rub his swollen, tender tips.
