[Pre-release: The Substitute Returns Before Earth Online Goes Live. Please add it to your collection!]
Xia Shiyu has a face praised as angelic.
He rose to fame at a young age after appearing in a public service ad, and his film debut was an instant peak. He is synonymous with gentleness, thoughtfulness, and understanding, and the dream Omega of countless Alphas.
But no one knows that after he presented as an Omega, an engagement banquet arranged by someone with sinister ambitions cut off every path he had left in life.
No one cares about an Omega's resistance, especially one known for being meek.
On the day his assets were transferred, Xia Shiyu was at the end of his rope. Then Han Xu, his longtime rival since childhood, kicked down the door to his home.
Looking at Xia Shiyu, bedraggled yet still proud and stubborn, Han Xu smiled elegantly. "I can help you, but there's a condition."
He leaned down slightly and raised Xia Shiyu's chin with his slender fingers, speaking playfully. "You have to play a good game with me, "
A double-O marriage, the likes of which the aristocratic families of the Imperial Capital had never seen before.
Later.
"Why did you agree to marry me?"
"It was fun."
"? If you don't tell me the truth, you'll sleep in the study."
"Tsk, if you'd had the guts to get into a fight before, I wouldn't have had anything to do with this, hey! Put down that pillow. There's no way this young master is sleeping in the study tonight!"
What else could it be? I wanted to see you miserable, to see you bow your head to me, to see you disgusted by the choice you once stood by. But in the end...
In the end?
I inexplicably fell in love with you. I'm beyond saving.
Bonus scene:
Today was an unlucky day.
One person was caught in heat, and another was being hugged and nibbled all over by the person in heat, growing hot all over from the rubbing.
Helpless, Xia Shiyu soothed Han Xu while rummaging through his things, hoping to find the suppressants Han Xu usually used. But by accident, he came across Han Xu's diary.
The simple diary could be divided into two parts.
The first part was mostly: "Xia Shiyu looked so good today," along with various photos from middle school.
The second part was: "Only I get to bully Xia Shiyu," along with fan community support materials.
Xia Shiyu, who had already decided to play along with Han Xu, suddenly understood.
Han Xu, flushed and overheated beside him, complained indignantly, "Xia Shiyu, you're such an idiot!"
I always bully you because your eyes have never seen me.
Xia Shiyu, don't be afraid. I, Han Xu, can give you a safe haven now.
Next book: The Substitute Returns Before Earth Online Goes Live
1
In the fifth year after the Earth Online survival game descended, An Ransheng was abandoned without mercy by Chu Mo.
To be abandoned meant to die.
Ten years as a substitute, five years as the top killer. He charged alone into boss fights, and his immortal body made him famous across the game. Yet in the end, he died at the hands of the person he loved most.
An Ransheng finally regretted it. He crushed his own heart and returned to the time before the survival game went live.
Given another chance, An Ransheng gazed at the legendary skills scattered across the ground, shining brightly, and rejoiced.
To hell with being Chu Mo's top killer. To hell with being a substitute for Chu Mo's beloved.
An Ransheng brought his comprehensive strategy guide to the government and became a god-tier support player, cherished by everyone.
In this damn game, crowd-control support can be the carry too!
2
After joining the government, An Ransheng became Chu Mo's colleague.
It turned out Chu Mo had long been the government's secret weapon.
It turned out that during the ten years they spent together in his previous life, Chu Mo had shared his bed with him while wearing a mask the whole time.
An Ransheng greeted him coldly. "Captain Chu, you've been hiding a lot, haven't you?"
The renowned Chu Mo could only stare at him blankly before fleeing in a sorry state.

"You were reborn too?"
"A dream. Those things entered my memories in the form of a dream."
"And then? You want me to keep being Chu Zhuang's substitute to keep him alive?"
"...I'm sorry. It was my fault."
"Hah. Captain Chu, please step aside if you have nothing else to say. You're in my way."
Chu Mo could see vitality.
The vitality of individuals, teams, even the nation.
He had to protect that vitality, and he was certain nothing would happen to An Ransheng, until he felt the heart-piercing pain for the first time.
The dream was over. In this life, it seemed their roles had switched.
"Captain An, Captain Chu brought you some energy!"
"You two broke up. Don't bother me."
"Captain An, Captain Chu keeps mumbling your name when he's drunk."
"There's peanuts nearby. Give him a couple of plates."
"Captain An, "
"Chu Mo, will you quit bothering me!"
"...I'm sorry. Take this life of mine in return."
Another two-person script.
Chu Mo severed both his own hands and forcibly carved out a path to survival for An Ransheng.
An Ransheng was furious. He reclaimed his immortal body and beat the boss until it personally handed Chu Mo over to him.
He grabbed the half-dead Chu Mo and spoke in a voice like a vengeful ghost. "Chu Mo, you bastard, want to repay me with your life? You're not worthy!"
Later, the national support team celebrated as if the whole country were rejoicing. Their two big shots had finally stopped fighting and wrecking the training grounds!
Dorm manager: ...Bullshit! They just moved from the training grounds to the bed!
This year's dorm repair costs are going to be over budget again. Waaaah.

Don't give up on TT. It's not easy to come across an article that's to your liking QAQ
I don't understand why Han bullies Xia, because others bully Xia because of his bad attitude. The reasons for bringing out Xia's other side don't convince me.
Wow wow wow, do you still want to update it... I really like it...
There is no double-O article to read at all, you can only read Laoben 😭 😭 😭
Teacher, please don't stop updating. I really like your writing. Keep writing [changed][changed][changed]
Ah, it's a tie, squat down first [Cat's Claw]
Hahaha Han is used to being praised by others as a young master, so he is a bit inferior in terms of perception of people. He still needs his family's advice on how to pursue his wife.
When posting, I also write about the protagonist's career to enrich the character.
Damn, do you still want to update? I just found this article. I like it so much.
My nonsensical ramblings, just writing whatever comes to mind, have no logic, no order, and the whole text is not smooth. The first time I clicked on this article was on November 23, 2024. I didn't expect that a year had passed. Time flies so fast. Since the author disappeared in December last year, I have been reading it from time to time, and occasionally replying to my comments, but I am afraid that I will not be able to relax after reading it, so I always dare not re-read it. I am someone who never likes to follow serials. On the one hand, I am afraid that the author will run away, and on the other hand, I am also worried that I will lose interest halfway through. But because this article really touched my XP, so after confirming that the author has several completed articles and is updating them steadily, I still couldn't resist the temptation and clicked on it. Unfortunately, just a few days after I started updating, I stopped updating for 10 days due to busy work. At that time, I thought it didn't matter, I could wait until the day I finished writing if I took my time. The last time I saw Jinyi was her reply on December 6. It was 10 days since her last update. She said she was not sure if she could continue writing, but she would write as long as people were willing to read it. She also promised to update within three days. I just remember that I was very happy at the time, holding my phone and crawling around on the bed for several times. Unexpectedly, I never saw the author again after that. My brain circuit generally leads to the mountains - going around everywhere. I have thought about countless reasons for discontinuing updates this year, some of which are so outrageous that I want to laugh. At the same time, I was also a little worried that something had happened to the author, or that she just didn't dare to read the comments as she said, so she didn't leave any farewell. I don't know if I can be considered a "reader" of hers. After all, this is the only book I read in the author column, and the author ran away within a few days of my arrival. But I have been waiting for this book for a year, and I may continue to wait in the future, although the chance of updating is about 0. I am a C-linguist. After reading a certain book, I can't help but write something about the characters I like. So I once thought about opening the skins of Han Xu and Xia Shiyu in the software of my character after finishing this article. Unfortunately, this wish may not come true. At first, I liked the setting of this book. I don't know how to describe my shock and joy when I saw the copy for the first time. After actually watching it, I realized that both Han Xu and Xia Shiyu were deviant and unconventional in their ways that did not fit the stereotype of an omega. Even if they sometimes need external stimulation to be seen by us, no one can refute that this is the innate spirit of resistance in their bones. This is the inner charm that attracts me more than the setting on the surface. It is precisely because I have seen such beautiful people that I have been unable to let go of them even after the update was discontinued. When I first realized that the update was discontinued, I thought that we should just continue to live as if they were somewhere we couldn't see. At the same time, I was eager to know the follow-up, and I was scratching my head for more than a month. Although I don't have such a violent reaction now, I still feel sad when I see a small figure in my collection list that was last updated a year ago. I once had the urge to "just bite the bullet and continue writing the rest by myself", but I don't know whether it was because I had the slightest hope that the author would come back, or because I was not confident in my writing skills. After hesitating for a long time, I finally chose to let this idea be diluted in the long river of time. During this year, I clicked on the comment area of this article many times. There were two readers who like me came back to read it from time to time. There were several floors of comments and replies, and the latest comment was even a week ago. To be honest, the latest comments I see every time I click in are no more than two months old. I am surprised and a little happy - it turns out I am not the only one waiting. This is the first anniversary of the day I met Han Xu and Xia Shiyu, and I feel this way.
