Choose Your Non-Human Dead Husband

My next story, opening in December: "The Cat Was Adopted by His Childhood Rival". A cute cat and his childhood rival, locked in a battle of wits! Something major recently happened in Haishi. Mr. Fu, a powerful figure who ruled Haishi like a local king, had died. Rumor had it that Mr. Fu had dominated both business and politics, and his hand was behind countless major events. Like an inescapable shadow, he had loomed over everyone's heads. After his death, he left all his fortune to his little-known young husband. A delicate, harmless canary who had depended on her husband for everything. People flocked to the scene, hoping to tear a chunk of wealth from the newly widowed man. Then the little husband appeared before everyone at the black-and-white funeral, dressed in black. He was beautiful and pale, with just a glimpse of skin so fair it made people's eyes linger and their hearts race. His brows, lost and downcast at the funeral, were intensely vulnerable. His pale neck looked so delicate that someone could easily wrap a hand around it and toy with him. He had been Fu Yuan's canary, his hidden climbing vine. And now, this greenhouse rose had no owner. - Tao Zhi's husband died. After his husband's death, the assistant left behind gently took his hand, his gaze crazed with infatuation. "Madam, please let me take care of you." His husband's rival whispered intimately to him at the funeral: "You've already lost one husband. I can't let you live as a widow again." His husband's younger brother knocked on the door in the middle of the night. "Sister-in-law, open up. It's me, your brother-in-law." The assistant's strong arms felt strangely familiar around him. The wealthy magnate's tone was exactly like his husband's, and his husband's younger brother's face was growing more and more like his husband's... Overcome with emotion, Tao Zhi gazed at them in a daze and reached out. He felt as though his husband had come back, only split into many pieces. The psychiatrist asked again, "You're saying your dead husband has returned. What proof do you have?" Fragile and helpless, Tao Zhi covered his face. His trembling body seemed too frail to hold him up. Poor little widower. The doctor draped a coat over him, but failed to notice the twisted, excited eye peeking through the gaps between his fingers. Tao Zhi leaned gently against the doctor's sturdy chest and said softly, "Yes. He came back after his funeral." The doctor could no longer hear what Tao Zhi was saying. All his attention had been captured by the soft body in his arms. Tao Zhi's words slithered against his ear like a chilly snake's tongue. "Doctor, do you want to be my husband too?" - The apocalyptic-level contaminant [Abyss] had recently fallen in love with a human. Humans were fragile and short-lived, so before every cuddle, It had to do everything in Its power to control and put away Its tentacles. It was rather difficult. Sometimes It had to eat some of Its unruly tentacles, and rack Its brains for excuses for the strange marks on Its wife's body. Even so, It would put on Its shell, play an ordinary rich human, tuck away Its unruly, monstrous tentacles, and stay by Its beautiful, fragile wife's side for an ordinary human lifetime. Even if his wife set It and the car on fire after a car accident, forcing It to search everywhere for a new body. Even if his wife was already looking for a new husband. It would remain devoted to loving Its wife, wear the finest human shell, calmly dispose of all the troublesome trash, and build a happy family with him. That would be the only goal of Its remaining life. - Tao Zhi fell in love with a human. Humans were fragile and short-lived, so whenever they cuddled, It had to restrain Its entire body and disguise Itself as an ordinary human. It was exhausting. It decided to create a new body for the human so they could share eternal life. So It hid his body and chose a suitable identity for him... As for the human's opinion? He would get used to it, because he loved It! But then there were the inexplicable marks on his skin every morning, the feeling of being watched whenever he bathed, and the unfamiliar passersby who looked more and more like his husband... Wait... what? Tao Zhi felt that something was wrong. ★ Before You Read ◆ One-on-one romance, both virgins, happy ending. ◆ The cover uses a template.

If you're interested, feel free to add it to your collection! Song Xingyou is famous for his bad temper. As the young master of a top-tier wealthy family, he's had everything go smoothly and has been cherished like a precious jewel. There's never been anything in his life he needed to work for. The one exception was when his childhood friend went abroad without taking him along. So, drunk and furious, he declared that the next time they met, he'd beat him until his face bloomed like a peach blossom. He woke up as a stray little calico at school. The little calico was small and skinny, timid, and bullied by other cats every day. He only got food thanks to handouts from students. The first thing Song Xingyou did after turning into a calico was look down at his balls. Thank goodness, thank goodness. He hadn't been neutered. The second thing he wanted to do was scratch Lu Jingchuan, that idiot, to death. There was no rush. First, he would go mooch some canned food from the alumni. · Everyone who knows Lu Jingchuan knows you can provoke anyone except Song Xingyou. As the heir to the Lu Group, Lu Jingchuan has money, power, and influence. He's also handsome and well-educated, a recognized investment genius who took charge of the group as soon as he returned from studying abroad. He seems cold and restrained, an untouchable flower on a high peak, but even an idiot can see his double standard. At his first-birthday party, when they let him pick an object to predict his future, he ignored the company seal and abacus and grabbed Song Xingyou, refusing to let go. He'd never wanted to be more than ten feet away from him ever since. He willingly doted on Song Xingyou for over a decade, treating him like a precious jewel and giving him the stars if he asked, never mind the moon. He'd happily go out in the middle of the night to pick up trash with him. Then, just before he came of age, family tradition forced him to go abroad for three years of advanced study. Those three years abroad were the most unforgettable seven years of his life. He rushed through his studies and hurried home, but didn't see Song Xingyou. Instead, he was ambushed by a scrawny calico. The calico waved its paws and scratched wildly. Judging by the results, it hadn't even torn his pants. Lu Jingchuan was about to leave, but when he met the calico's blazing eyes, he inexplicably crouched down. "Do you want to come with me?" · Song Xingyou had a wonderfully comfortable life after turning into a cat and being adopted by Lu Jingchuan. He ate the best canned food, drank the most expensive water, and lorded it over Lu Jingchuan every day. He had no idea how to hold back. Watching Lu Jingchuan send messages to other people with a blank face, though clearly nervous, he licked his paw and narrowed his eyes dangerously. He flopped onto the floor as if asking for affection, meowed halfheartedly twice, and looked pleased with himself. Come on, pet me! Trying to flirt with my wife? With Cat Hero here, you don't stand a chance! Then one day, Lu Jingchuan picked him up again to take a photo and flirt with his wife. Irritated, Song Xingyou slapped him and snapped, "All you do is take pictures all day! If you have nothing better to do, open me a can!" Song Xingyou: Wait, something's not right... · The pretty little calico turned into a naked young master with lovely little cat ears and a fluffy tail. He was so cute that even hitting him risked making him feel good. From then on, the house was piled with cans, cat treats, and scratching boards. Even the curtains had to be the kind best suited for cat claws. But every open window was sealed shut, sharp furniture corners were wrapped in foam, and thick wool carpets covered the floor. The man never let him out of sight for more than ten minutes. He even wanted to watch him go to the bathroom. The unreadable emotions in his eyes were dark and frightening. Later... The cat young master broke into a room packed with photos of himself from childhood to the present. The man closed the door behind him with deliberate care and looked at the young master with an obsession that filled his eyes. He sincerely praised him. "You're amazing, baby. You even figured this out." The young master looked pleased. "Of course I did..." Wait, no!!! [Blurb saved on 2025/5/10] Theme: How many steps does it take to let yourself go?
