[Gintama] Xiao Ming's Scorching Tale

[A little advertisement: Has my jinx come true today? Blurb at the very bottom]

Ever since Yuanshan Ming left that planet, she hadn't had to experience the hard times she'd known before.

Earth really is the best. I LOVE Earth.

Three years later, Yuanshan Ming had become the wealthy person she had always wanted to be. Then she crossed paths again with a certain rabbit, now the captain of a space pirate crew. Their reunion was as melodramatic as ever.

"Captain, this one looks pretty rich." A muscular rabbit poked Xiao Ming with the tip of his umbrella.

Xiao Ming lay on her side, pretending to be unconscious, and secretly cracked open one eye to look at the captain the rabbit had mentioned. Damn it, which one was the captain? Was it that disheveled man with yellow hair? They're all bald, musclebound men! Hey!

The man everyone called the captain turned around and walked step by step toward Ming, who had her back to him, then sat right on her waist. "Is that so? Then let's follow the usual procedure."

'Yeah!' Yuanshan Ming couldn't keep up the act any longer, so she pretended to wake up and sneaked a look at the culprit.

An orange cowlick, a familiar braid... Wait, this person looks familiar!

"Kamui? You're Kamui, right? It's me, Xiao Ming!" Yuanshan Ming excitedly tried to sit up, forgetting that a certain rabbit was sitting on her waist.

Thump! Forced back onto the ground, Yuanshan Ming gazed at him with delight. Who else could this person be but that idiot Kamui! She thought she wouldn't have to pay to make this problem go away after all!

"It's me, Xiao Ming! We bathed together (I cleaned your wounds), slept together (on the floor), and played together (you beat me up)! Xiao Ming from the Yato planet!"

Everyone fell silent.

"Oh?"

Xiao Ming's motto: Money is important, but anything you can solve with money isn't a problem.

The male lead isn't the strongest fighter. He's a somewhat silly, lazy airhead, with just enough fighting ability to get by. He's definitely weaker than Kamui (otherwise, how would he have been... ahem).

Here's an upcoming historical BL novel, "Has My Jinx Come True Today?"

Blurb below.

As the old saying goes: Act like a big shot and you'll get struck by lightning; act like an alpha and you'll be someone's target.

This saying is absolutely true...

As a devoted fan of the TV program "Into the World of Science," Wu Yan says that sometimes he really is at a loss for words.

Flying on swords and splitting the sky with a single strike, shifting the stars and traveling a thousand miles with a thought... It's really hard to believe any of it.

Even harder is going from years of studying biodiversity to studying the myriad variations of cultivation techniques.

The good news is, he still has a "golden" finger: the power to shatter all laws with a single word.

The bad news is that this "gift" is far too finicky. Whether it works or not is entirely up to fate.

As luck would have it, Wu Yan respects heaven and earth but refuses to believe in fate.

He believes only in himself.

So everyone knows that there's a freak on Sanqing Mountain whose strength varies wildly. Some have seen him determine the fate of the world with a single divination and subdue mountains and seas. Others have seen him defeat an 'enemy' with a single move and pin someone against a wall, only...

He's the one who gets defeated, and he's the one pinned against the wall.
