They Insist They're Scum Tops

This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality. Please don't read it as a reflection of real life. This world is always full of cruel twists of fate and lovers separated by life and death. So many people are left behind, pining for the ones they lost. They become lonely ghosts wandering the world far too soon, clinging to scraps of memory and savoring a sweetness they can no longer taste. They resent their lovers for leaving them so resolutely, for entrusting them to the wrong people, for wallowing in self-pity... But in the end, all they resent is that these people aren't happy enough. Then one day, a little ball of light suddenly appeared. “Hello. May I ask if you're a scum gong?” World One: Insectoids: A transmigrated, highly intelligent male insectoid gong who doesn't realize he's in love VS a strong-limbed, angelic female insectoid shou World Two: Ancient setting: A cross-dressing, intensely possessive, twisted gong VS a stern, old-fashioned shou with maxed-out combat skills who keeps getting tricked by the gong World Three: Modern fantasy: A gong adored by everyone who suddenly gains the ability to hear his shou's thoughts VS a shou who's cold on the outside, warm on the inside, and loves to make snarky comments World Four: A reborn, scheming stepson gong VS a cold, abstinent foster-father shou World Five: A sinister, beautiful puppet gong VS a straightforward, handsome, rugged shou The worlds are listed in no particular order. Every gong and shou is madly in love with the other, so no matter the setting, this novel isn't suitable for readers who are exclusively devoted to either role. World Three is a shortened version of the upcoming novel When I Could Hear My Archenemy's Thoughts. “Adored by everyone” means the gong is charming and highly capable, so many people like him. It doesn't mean a delicate, soft, helpless beauty who attracts a horde of admirers through looks alone. If the comments before the paid chapters seem confusing, that's normal. I abandoned this novel for a while, but I've now come back to rewrite the whole thing from scratch [kneels and apologizes profusely]. I've already stockpiled 300,000 words, so don't worry about whether I'll finish it. Here's a preview of my next novel: Wen Sheng's archenemy has been acting really strange lately. He won't put his phone down, disappears every now and then, and keeps telling Wen Sheng to play more games. Wen Sheng just assumes his archenemy has lost it. After all, he'd never seen that game anywhere, and he couldn't even find it by searching. Then one day, his archenemy suddenly vanished, and the game he'd been recommending suddenly appeared on everyone's phones. Only then did Wen Sheng realize something was wrong. Following the clues his archenemy left behind, Wen Sheng began his relentless grind and spending spree. What? An unlimited-capacity inventory? Buy it! What? An SSS-rank talent? Buy it! What? An SSS-rank item? Buy it! There's nothing in the shop he won't buy. He even stocked up on twenty bundles of the condoms sold there. Just in case he ever needed them. Who cares? Just buy it. * Jiang Zhixiao has an archenemy. Just thinking about him makes Jiang's teeth grind with rage. At three, he put cockroaches in Jiang's pants. At five, he put caterpillars in Jiang's pencil case. At seven, he cut the braids off Jiang's female deskmate and blamed Jiang... And after they grew up, he turned into a complete lunatic. When they put on Snow White, he insisted Jiang dress up as the princess while he rode a white horse as the prince, securing first dibs on dating anyone at their university for all four years. That damn bastard. The fact that this obnoxious straight guy was the childhood betrothal partner Jiang's grandfather had arranged for him made him even more annoyed. Before Jiang could start a company at twenty, take it public at twenty-five, and dominate global trade by thirty to become a business tycoon, forcing that obnoxious straight guy to kneel before him and beg for mercy... He was bound to an apocalyptic survival System. He had to enter a game at regular intervals to survive. From the start, he became a dog, and had to scavenge for all his supplies. Before he was pulled completely into the survival game, he repeatedly warned that bastard to play the game properly. But when they ran into each other in the game, the other guy pulled twenty bundles of condoms out of his inventory. “Here, these things can take a beating.” But can you take a beating? XD “Fuck, you idiot” VS “Damn bastard” The two lines above are the gong and shou's favorite insults for each other. Theme: Build a beautiful life together.
