After We Married, My Younger Wild Alpha Quit Pretending

Coming soon: I'm Not Reaping This Soul Anymore QAQ; Lie Flat and Reach the Pinnacle of Life (Quick Transmigration). Blurbs at the end.

The main story is complete.

Blurb:

To protect the only surviving descendant of a deceased friend, Lu Wen binds himself to his friend's son, Pei Qingye, with a marriage contract.

But Pei Qingye grew up on the streets, and not only picked up a host of bad habits, but is also wild and hard to tame.

To make Pei Qingye straighten out, Lu Wen keeps him on a strict leash.

"You are not allowed to go out after ten at night. Break this rule once, and you'll get one punishment from the family discipline."

"Tell me before you go out. You are not allowed to disappear without a reason."

"Study hard at school. I'll check your grades every month. Fail once, and you'll get one punishment from the family discipline."

Lu Wen educates his nominal partner according to the strictest standards.

At first, Pei Qingye behaves very well, but it doesn't take long for his true nature to show.

In the office, Pei Qingye reveals his Alpha aggression for the first time, pinning Lu Wen, a Beta, firmly against the desk.

Lu Wen remains calm and says coldly, "What are you doing? Still planning to defy your elders?"

"Defy my elders?" Pei Qingye looks down at Lu Wen and lets out an ambiguous chuckle. "Which kind of defiance does Uncle Lu mean?"

"This kind?" Pei Qingye suddenly presses close, trapping Lu Wen between his arms.

"Or this kind?" He reaches out to touch Lu Wen's Adam's apple, then bites down viciously on his lips.

Lu Wen: "!!!"

--

Pei Qingye has always known Lu Wen married him for reasons unrelated to love. He only wanted to give him shelter.

At first, Pei Qingye doesn't think there's anything wrong with that. But when another Alpha confesses to Lu Wen and rumors spread everywhere, Pei Qingye suddenly gets jealous.

Why should he, the legitimate partner, have to stay hidden while that fake gets to spread rumors so openly?

He's tall and handsome, young and vigorous, with a great body. How could that old Alpha possibly compete with him?

The more Pei Qingye thinks about it, the worse he feels. He's consumed with jealousy.

When Lu Wen is about to go out to meet someone again, Pei Qingye shamelessly starts acting like a helpless green tea.

"Uncle Lu, I'm not feeling well."

"Uncle Lu, my head hurts."

"Uncle Lu, go take care of your business. I'll be fine on my own!"

Lu Wen: "..."

--

A new emperor ascends the throne, with a mountain of affairs to attend to. Yet His Majesty is still lingering over his empress, refusing to get up.

Lu Wen can't take his nuzzling any longer and kicks him out. Pei Qingye stands outside the door, covered in red marks, his face dark with anger.

The new guard has never seen the emperor like this before and is nearly scared to death.

An old staff member beside him gives him a reassuring look and whispers, "Don't be scared. It's all an act."

Sure enough, as soon as the old staff member finishes speaking, the emperor, who had looked so fierce moments ago, shamelessly presses himself against the door and coos, "Wifey~ Open the door, please! I know I was wrong!"

New guard: =-=

A cold, aloof, no-nonsense Beta warden

A shameless younger Alpha who can be nurturing, wolfish, and puppy-like

The top and bottom are not related by blood or family ties.

Alpha top, Beta bottom.

The top is an adult.

Coming soon: I'm Not Reaping This Soul Anymore QAQ

--

After dying and becoming an underworld messenger, Ke Yang runs into trouble on his very first soul-reaping assignment: he can't extract his target's soul.

To fix this mishap, Ke Yang follows the man he is supposed to reap everywhere, waiting for the perfect chance to make his move.

As it turns out, nothing is impossible, as long as you have a soul reaper on the job.

After working tirelessly, he finally manages to reap the man's soul, and the man himself, too.

After accidentally falling in love with his target, Ke Yang can't bring himself to reap his boyfriend's soul. He decides to come clean to his superior.

Facing the Underworld Lord's portrait, he says, nervous but sincere, "My Lord, if you'll stop asking me to reap my boyfriend's soul, I'll do anything you want!"

A moment later, the portrait responds, "Anything at all?"

Ke Yang nods eagerly.

The portrait flashes, and a man in black robes appears before him. "Good. Then let's practice the eighteenth move from the Soul-Reaping Manual again!"

Looking at a face identical to his boyfriend's, Ke Yang's mind goes blank, and the smile slowly vanishes from his face.

&

As the ruler of the underworld, Fu Wei spent the first half of his life in its depths, standing in for the formation's core, far from the light of day.

Surrounded by endless darkness and vicious ghosts, he grew more and more cruel.

Even after gaining his freedom and securing a respectable identity in human society, he still couldn't feel emotions like an ordinary person.

Fu Wei didn't mind. In fact, he thought things were just fine as they were.

Until one day, he met a dazed little fool of an underworld messenger.

Only then did he realize that even his long-rotted, parched heart was hoping for a ray of light.

Bonus scene:

Many years after becoming an underworld messenger, Ke Yang has become a senior to the new recruits.

One day, a new messenger asks how he became an experienced senior so quickly.

Before Ke Yang can answer, the Underworld Lord says from beside him, "He has his boyfriend to thank for helping him practice the Soul-Reaping Manual."

"By the way, your boyfriend just developed a new move. He wants to know if you'll practice it with him."

Knowing what the Soul-Reaping Manual really means, Ke Yang's face turns bright red. He gives a tiny nod.

The Underworld Lord smiles, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.

A cold, unfeeling Underworld Lord who blossoms late and becomes obsessed with spreading his seed

A timid, ghost-fearing little fool of an underworld messenger who reaps the soul of the ruler of ten thousand ghosts

Coming soon 2: Lie Flat and Reach the Pinnacle of Life (Quick Transmigration)

After Bai Yu dies, he transmigrates into a quick-transmigration world and becomes people who cause all sorts of trouble but meet terrible ends.

Bai Yu: Causing trouble is exhausting. We might as well lie flat.

And yet, he accidentally reaches the pinnacle of life.

World One:

Transmigrated as the fake young master who was switched at birth

The original was a fake young master who lived with his wealthy adoptive parents for eighteen years before discovering the truth. The real young master is about to come home and take his place.

So the original causes a ton of trouble. He bullies the real young master and makes a mess of everything, eventually becoming hated by everyone and dying a miserable death.

After Bai Yu transmigrates...

He doesn't cause trouble. He takes his savings and runs away immediately.

He buys a house in a small town, grows crops, raises a dog, and couldn't be happier.

Along the way, he also finds his truly fabulously wealthy father and a boyfriend. How wonderful!

World Two:

Transmigrated as the stand-in who causes endless trouble

The original likes the male lead and is willing to be his stand-in just to be with him.

But after they get together, the original grows increasingly dissatisfied and comes up with new ways every day to make the male lead love him. He even hurts himself just to get the man's attention.

After Bai Yu transmigrates...

He eats when he's hungry and drinks when he's thirsty, and sleeps when he's tired. When he's bored, he uses the money the male lead gave him to go out and look at hot young men.

But maybe because he's too comfortable, the male lead insists that he fulfill his marital duties and forbids him from going out to look at hot young men. If he wants to look at anyone, he can look at the male lead instead.

Uh...

World Three:

Transmigrated as a C-list star who will do anything to become famous

The original can't sing or act. To become famous, he puts others down, stirs up scandals, and even tries to take the shortcut of finding a sugar daddy. But he never becomes famous. Instead, he ruins himself, becoming a wreck before dying miserably of an illness.

After Bai Yu transmigrates...

If he doesn't become famous, so be it. His acting is bad, so he'll be a pretty face. He can't sing, so he'll livestream bedtime stories for people.

He doesn't earn much, but he's happy every day.

It's just that there have been a few too many scammers lately.

Some claim to be award-winning actors and invite him to play the lead in their productions. Others claim to be popular stars and want him to join them on a variety show.

The most ridiculous one claims to be some powerful big shot and asks if Bai Yu wants to be with him.

Bai Yu: ...

Ridiculous.

Other worlds to be decided.

Theme: Be sincere in love, and have the courage to face your heart.
