Jian Ci transmigrated.
She landed in an apocalypse overrun by pollutants, in a contaminated zone ruled by monsters and evil gods, where she became food offered to a monster by the authorities.
Jian Ci: Six hundred and sixty-six.
When she woke, she found herself on an uninhabited island, surrounded by the sea and filled with poisonous white fog and ferocious pollutants.
As an ordinary person, Jian Ci had no way to escape.
Jian, the supreme king of doing nothing: She might like taking it easy, but she'd rather stay alive while doing it.
She cautiously laid low for a few days, only to discover that there wasn't a single monster anywhere on the enormous deserted island.
Instead, there was another human being in the same predicament as her.
The young man was tall and slender, pale and elegant, and supposedly a monster researcher.
He had come here alone for a research project, only to be abandoned.
Jian Ci wiped away a tear: A kindred spirit! We're both castaways in this world!
The young man was easygoing and generous with his precious food and medical supplies. He helped her evade the pollutants several times.
Jian Ci soon came to see him as her only good friend.
They caught fish together, hunted together, and fought off contamination together.
In the end, they lived together.
Jian Ci even took the initiative to tell the young man what had happened to her, then cursed the monster responsible, which she had never even seen.
Life was peaceful, but a little dull.
She had explored almost the entire island.
The good news: There were no monsters here.
The bad news: There was no internet here, either.
She wanted to leave the island and go somewhere with at least enough internet to lie flat.
Fortunately, she'd kept sending the authorities signals to let them know she was alive, and one day she finally received a response.
The authorities were coming to rescue her!
Jian Ci was overjoyed and excitedly told the young man.
When he heard, he simply smiled at her.
As calm and elegant as ever, utterly unruffled.
Jian Ci: No wonder he's seen the world. He's so composed!
That night, she was fast asleep when she felt a gloomy gaze fixed on her, clinging tightly to her body.
Half asleep, Jian Ci felt muddy, damp tentacles crawling over her, sucking and gnawing at her.
Cold, clammy, and sticky.
Thick as a bottomless swamp.
Jian Ci: ...!
A mass of thick tentacles spread out from beneath the young man, slowly writhing until they filled the entire room.
Like a cage.
The beautiful young man tilted his head. His long hair fell over his shoulders, and dense white fog enveloped him.
It stared at Jian Ci: Where are you going?
Jian Ci: ...
#A monster loved will grow flesh and blood in a frenzy, even if the love is fake
#Turns out you won't get eaten if you cuddle
[Reader's Guide]
1. The male lead is a complete pervert, tentacled and very much nonhuman, a great actor who's excellent at pretending. At first, he thinks like a monster and is ravenous, so you can't understand him through the lens of a normal person. Because of the female lead, he learns how to love and control his desires. He's willing to be controlled and tamed, to bow his head and submit. A hopeless romantic of the highest order.
2. The female lead is a slacker who likes to take it easy and lie flat. She only wants to survive. When she discovers she can stay alive beside the male lead, she tearfully sets off down the road of training a dog, never to return.
