Can I Still Make a Run for It?

The god Bai Qi, who dwelled atop the tower, fell from grace in a single day. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a pretty good-for-nothing with zero combat ability.

The good-for-nothing was at the bottom of the tower, surrounded by monsters who killed without batting an eye. Bai Qi looked at all the familiar faces he had personally locked away in the past. Good grief, every last one of them had a blood feud with him.

A wise man knows when to yield. To keep his enemies from coming after him, Bai Qi, once a god of slaughter and now a good-for-nothing, decided to keep his secret identity tightly under wraps and cling to powerful people, relying on his pretty face to get by.

The monsters in the Dark Tower all waited to see how this useless pretty face would meet his gruesome end. Then they watched, dumbfounded, as every powerful person he clung to fell one after another, while he himself somehow thrived more and more.

Bai Qi, a professional backstabber of those he clung to, said helplessly, "I didn't want things to turn out like this. I just never expected the people I latched onto to be so weak. They fall for every lie, and one stab is all it takes to kill them."

Until one day, he accidentally backstabbed his former nemesis, Mo Xuan.

Their grudge ran deep, and Bai Qi had planned to flee as far as he could before his secret identity was exposed.

Unfortunately, he didn't get away.

Bai Qi had always thought Mo Xuan hated him to the core. But after being forced to stay by his side for a while, he gradually discovered an earth-shattering secret:

That once-arrogant, powerful, peerless monster seemed to have feelings for the "dead" Bai Qi that went beyond hatred.

Not only that, after Bai Qi faked his death, Mo Xuan seemed to have been pushed over the edge. He was even more deranged than before.

Bai Qi: "..."

Can I still make a run for it?

A domineering, deeply devoted, and rather unhinged yandere monster gong ×

A former god of slaughter, now a good-for-nothing, playing the fool while hiding his true strength shou

1v1, happy ending

Two strong leads. The shou is clever, but his combat ability is low while he's wearing his secret identity. Later on, he'll wreak havoc across the battlefield. He's not actually useless.

The author is deeply devoted to the main character and loves writing Mary Sue, universally adored, bking protagonists. If that's not your thing, don't read.

Theme: Stand on your own two feet instead of always trying to cling to someone else's.
