They Regretted It After I Became a Legend in One Battle [Interstellar]

Originally titled "A Conscience? I Don't Need That!" The chapter headings were written by the tsundere little rascal himself, so we're keeping the original title format~

Crazy but emotionally impaired tsundere bottom × silent, obsessive top who acts like a lovesick puppy (Xiao Wuliang × Gong Haoming)

"Crazy in love" humanoid weapon × "Loves to grovel" imperial general

Bottom's perspective:

Xiao Wuliang is every bit as wicked as his name suggests: a vicious star pirate who commits every kind of crime and has no conscience whatsoever. From the oldest to the youngest, almost everyone across the stars knows his crimes by heart.

From returning kindness with betrayal and causing their beloved imperial crown prince's death on a dead planet, to sneaking into the God of War's general's home in the middle of the night to steal his underwear.

Xiao Wuliang: Thanks for asking, but he clearly slipped the damn thing into my pocket himself! My reputation is ruined, okay?!

Three years ago, the dreaded vicious star pirate was finally captured and imprisoned. It was a cause for celebration, and the people of the stars even marked the day as an annual memorial for the campaign against crime.

Three years later, the infamous pirate suddenly appeared before the public once more, covered in military honors.

It turned out that so much filth had been hidden from view. And long before anyone knew it, he had already become an unknown hero of humanity.

At that moment, everyone who had once hated him began to repent. They sang his praises and prayed for his good fortune.

[The innocent rose is the color of blood, and his sins are the silence he proclaims.

Xiao Wuliang is a black-hearted bastard who deserves to be surrounded by love.]

No one knew that the notorious Xiao Wuliang was also a hugely popular male streamer.

Recently, a male streamer with a gentle voice and rich emotion had taken the StarNet by storm, telling fairy tales and sharing lessons on ancient history.

Xiao Wuliang was a master of the cutesy voice, and who could resist a sweet, soothing male voice lulling them to sleep? Even General Gong made a special alt account and worked hard to earn money, all so he could be the streamer's number-one fan.

The naturally stern and coldhearted people of the Empire were all moved by him. Captivated by the beautiful worlds described by the streamer, the Empire was swept up in an unprecedented fairy-tale craze.

Until they learned that the faceless streamer's true identity was none other than Xiao Wuliang, the star pirate they had once denounced and vilified: their hero.

The people of the Empire were filled with regret and remorse, and wept for him. Later, they found their original home again through Xiao Wuliang's voice, and reclaimed their history...

Xiao Wuliang became the brightest hope of this great interstellar age.

Top's perspective:

Gong Haoming, the cold-faced God of War admired by countless people.

But no one knew that he had spent years as a trusted subordinate to a notorious star pirate. Thanks to his good looks, he had even risen to become the "boss's wife" of the entire pirate organization. In the end, he sent his star pirate boyfriend to an imperial prison, earning enough military merit to be promoted straight to general.

After Gong Haoming successfully became a general, he was consumed by guilt.

That was the version Xiao Wuliang later spread to the public. After being dumped and finally winning his wife back, General Gong had no choice but to livestream himself visiting his own grave, tears in his eyes.

[Visiting my own grave is nothing compared to failing to win my wife back.] That was General Gong's life philosophy.

*

For three generations, the Gong family had been a legend of the Empire, a brilliant star: from Grandfather Gong to General Gong, and from General Gong to General Gong Haoming.

That is, until the supposedly unbeatable General Gong met the formidable A-013 as a child, and then, as an adult, encountered Xiao Wuliang, who could crush him with a single finger.

[The God of War's legend will never fall. The stars simply need the dawn beside them, and the lonely universe needs a little untimely bustle.

Xiao Wuliang and General Gong are not parallel lines that can never meet in the vast firmament. They are the fulcrum that fought desperately to finally embrace.]

General Gong, high above everyone else, proved with his own experience that to become Xiao Wuliang's person, obediently acting like a good dog simply isn't enough. Even if he had to be a dog, Gong Haoming would be the most distinctive and indispensable one at Xiao Wuliang's side.

Reading guide:

① 1v1, both devoted only to each other, and each other's first love. The top never does anything wrong while trying to win back his wife (probably); he's just incredibly unlucky.

② No golden finger. If you insist there is one, it's the bottom himself: as long as he's around, there's a golden finger. The bottom is powerful and invincible.

! The bottom is much, much stronger than the top. At his peak, he could knock the top flying with a single slap (and he might actually do it).

③ The bottom is mentally ill and physically ill. He does whatever he likes, goes mad whenever he reaches peak condition, and loses all reason and regard for others. But it seems one bite from the top is enough to keep him going.

④ The bottom isn't a good person. He's a lawless criminal who was recruited by the authorities, and he really is crazy. The top isn't a good person either. He's an unkillable lovesick puppy with a hopelessly romantic streak. At least his devotion pays off.

⑤ Ensemble cast, lots of misunderstandings and coincidences, a bit melodramatic, and plenty of original worldbuilding.
