The Simp Climbs to the Top

[Free to read in its entirety] [Main story complete. Bonus chapters are in my author page. Weibo: @WhoRainCrosses, where I occasionally post commissioned art.] When Xia Wang met Tang Xinghui, it was like a clod of earth in a field looking up at the brightest star in the sky. From the top's point of view: a scummy bottom and a shameless top, with no groveling pursuit afterward. Xia Wang (top) x Tang Xinghui (bottom) A humble, lovesick simp top x a cold-hearted, fickle, naturally scummy, universally adored beauty bottom The bottom isn't the top's first time, but all the cannon-fodder tops are virgins. One-to-one happy ending. Warnings (please read): 1. It's a short story with a mix of sweetness and angst, and a little melodrama. 2. Many people have a one-sided crush on the bottom. He's very popular. 3. The bottom's first love isn't the top. 4. It includes a lot of author-created worldbuilding, including same-sex marriage. Readers with extreme character preferences should proceed with caution. 5. The writing and logic are poor, and the plot is genuinely awkward, exaggerated, and nonsensical. Please don't compare it to reality. It's only one-to-one at certain stages; the bottom has been with different cannon-fodder tops. (This story came about because I felt there were too many stories from the bottom's point of view about a scummy top and a shameless bottom. I suddenly wondered if there were any stories from the top's point of view about a scummy bottom and a shameless top. I searched around and couldn't find one, so I decided to write one myself for fun.) The warnings are already detailed enough. If you don't like it, leave instead of trying to draw attention to yourself in the comments. The cover uses a premade template. My next novel, Pheromone Allergy ABO, is open for follows! Synopsis: A universally adored, adorable sweetheart omega bottom x a taciturn alpha top who says one thing and means another As soon as Wen Youxia started college, his family told him he was to marry an alpha he'd never met. His parents comforted him. They weren't complete strangers, since they'd played together as children. Wen Youxia: What's the difference? Wen Youxia had been adored by everyone since childhood. He'd had dozens of playmates, if not a hundred. At first, Wen Youxia thought that at worst they'd each do their own thing after marriage. But on their wedding night, he discovered to his horror that he and his arranged spouse were both allergic to each other's pheromones. 😱 To keep the family alliance stable, Wen Youxia and his future spouse agreed to divorce after a year. On the first day of their marriage, Wen Youxia and his spouse left each other alone. On the second, his spouse was busy at work and didn't come home, so Wen Youxia threw a party at the house. On the third, Wen Youxia went into heat and had a one-night stand with an unknown alpha. On the nth day of their marriage, Wen Youxia discovered that the alpha from his one-night stand was his spouse. From the top's point of view: When they met again, Yu Shaojian saw the unfamiliar look in Wen Youxia's eyes and finally accepted that Wen Youxia had completely forgotten him. He'd originally thought a year would be enough time for them to develop feelings for each other. Even when Wen Youxia suggested they divorce after a year because of their pheromone allergy, he hadn't thought it was a problem. And in fact, after they married, their relationship grew closer and closer. Wen Youxia even went from calling him the polite "Mr. Yu" to "A Jian" Until one sunny afternoon, Wen Youxia's first love showed up at the door asking to get back together. Wen Youxia's first love was named Zhang Jian. Theme: Those who never forget will eventually be answered
