An Honest Guy, but Mary Sue

[Signed for a print edition. Publication details: Weibo @Jiao Wo Su Sanshao]

[Complete. A preview of the next novel is at the bottom.]

I’m a female alpha: poor, honest, and simple-minded. My specialty is picking up the pieces. Whether you’re a rich young man sulking over your first love, a widower hurt by a gold-digging alpha, or a social butterfly in the world of fame and fortune... you can come to me. I offer warm comfort, quiet sympathy, and devoted, long-term support.

In short, I won’t spend a cent. Keeping you company is my life motto. What can I say? I’m a born sucker for love, and I can’t stand seeing anyone cry.

Everyone knows how honest I am. Even if I committed a crime one day, the people around me would tell reporters, “They’re an honest person. Society drove them to it.”

So even if I do something wrong, it’s not my fault.

I keep myself pure; the other person makes the first move.

I’m proud and self-respecting; I’m forced to accept the money.

I’m devoted and faithful; someone else set up the flirting.

What can I say? I’m honest and sincere, poor and innocent.

Later, when the truth came out, they came after me in a fury, clawing at each other.

Whatever. I never said I’d take responsibility.

Yes, yes, I did say I was completely in love.

But who says being in love means you have to be together?

Sweet and Soft, Diagnosed as a Tentacle Alpha by Jiao Wo Su Sanshao

Song Zhirang was sickly from childhood, beautiful and delicate, timid and fearful.

Before her second differentiation, countless people had already fantasized about marking and possessing her.

But she differentiated as an alpha.

So they... became even more excited.

Meanwhile, Song Zhirang stared at the countless soft tentacles in the bathtub that wouldn’t obey her and burst into tears.

Boohoo, why did she seem to have more than one? And why, after differentiating, could she see little animals, plants, and strange creatures beside everyone, when they couldn’t see them themselves?

#Something must have gone wrong with her differentiation

#But apparently she can pet animals for free with her tentacles, yay

#Wait, no, why do they all look so strange

*

The people being petted by her tentacles, unaware of their own spirit forms, could think of only one thing: They weren’t in heat, so why did being around Song Zhirang leave them dazed, flushed, feverish, and breathless? Could this be love at first sight, a soulmate connection?

Song Zhirang: Actually, no.

Song Zhirang: It’s clearly because the tentacles feel so good.

Content warnings: The female alpha is a tentacle-monster alpha; ABO, girl/boy, Mary Sue, an incapable, tearful, soft female top and multiple powerful bottoms who force and dominate her; the ABO world includes spirit-animal elements borrowed from the sentinel-guide genre.

Theme: Don’t judge people by appearances alone. Look at what they do.
