Before Qi Shan transmigrated into the game he had developed, he always thought his settings were brilliant and never paid any attention to the feedback users offered.
It was only when a mantis as big as a vehicle stood before him, while he was a vegetarian beastman with pitifully weak attack power, that he wished he could go back to the early days of development and slap himself hard across the face.
In his old life, Qi Shan couldn't go a day without meat. Now he ate grass every day, and the greatest perk of transmigrating here was that his settings included a mute romantic rival.
He felt nothing for the person he was supposed to pursue. Instead, he was curious about this honest, somewhat insecure fellow.
That is, until one day, after he'd teased him a little too much, he heard the other man's inner voice: "You bastard, I'm not gay!"
"..." Qi Shan's eyes went wide.
He wasn't mute?
And he was from the modern world, too!

Sima Junze was an honest, hardworking man with hearing loss. One day, after coming home from work, he opened his beast-world game as usual to unwind. But when his hearing aid short-circuited, he suddenly found himself in the game world, reincarnated as a member of the Mian Yang tribe. He was also assigned a quest to win over the tribe's most beautiful female, who already had more than a dozen suitors.
Females were rare and precious in the beastman world. And since he was mute, unable to speak whenever he couldn't hear, no one thought much of him. Every day, they sent him off to do heavy labor.
It was bad enough that he'd been born to a life of hard work. Why couldn't they let him rest in peace even after he died?
Unaware that beastmen were immortal, he leaped from a cliff, hoping to put an end to this absurd fate. He didn't manage to kill himself. Instead, he landed on the leg of the handsomest male beast in the tribe and broke it.
To help him recover, Sima Junze was back to a life of hard labor... Doing his laundry and cooking for him was understandable, since it was his responsibility. But why was he also expected to take care of the other man's rut?
Sima Junze was a male beast, yet another male beastman pinned him to the bed, leaving him unable to move his hands or feet.
"...Don't do this. You've got it wrong. I'm not a female..."
Qi Shan said it, but Sima Junze couldn't hear him. Crying pitifully, he looked so miserable that Qi Shan's heart ached. He stuffed a handful of fresh leaves into his mouth.
Two months later, the little mute suddenly disappeared. When Qi Shan found him, he nearly went blind at the sight of a huge, snow-white belly.
Ah, it seemed he'd set things up so that whoever fell in love first would be the one to carry their beast cub.
