My Hot-Tempered Beauty of a Husband [Apocalypse]

[New story starting now~] Ning Yufei has always hated pretty faces with nothing behind them. There are two reasons. First, the term usually describes people who are beautiful but have no substance. Second, people often call him one. But he has plenty of substance! He practices calligraphy, has trained hard in martial arts, and has an eight-pack under his clothes! But people usually only notice the last part. Ning Yufei finds this very frustrating. Once, he criticized a pretty face online. Their fans were furious and challenged him to post a photo of himself, claiming he was just jealous. Of course he wasn't stupid enough to post a photo. Instead, he wrote an entire eight-thousand-word essay, carefully analyzing the many mismatches between the pretty face's professional abilities and their pay, as well as the harm that having so many celebrities like that did to society. The fans fell silent. But not because of his eight-thousand-word essay. They had found his high school graduation photo. Before Ning Yufei could despair over a world that judged people by their looks, the apocalypse arrived. It may sound bad, but the post-apocalyptic world really did make him feel more at ease, because no one judged people by their appearance anymore. He also found himself a few reliable teammates. Teammate A had escaped a subterranean research facility after enduring countless hardships. He was gloomy and taciturn, and not only did he show no special regard for pretty faces, he barely gave the post-apocalyptic strong any attention at all. Teammate B was a young woman. Supposedly, she'd had a handsome boyfriend in college, but when the zombies broke out, he pushed her forward to take a knife for him. Now that boyfriend was her pet zombie, and his face had been disfigured. Teammate C was a fat chef in his forties, well past the age of caring about looks. His wife hadn't survived the outbreak, leaving him with a pair of adorable boy-girl twins. The twins liked Ning Yufei, though he thought that was perfectly normal. It's only natural for children to like pretty things, and he wasn't about to deny his own good looks. Teammate D suited him best. The others had probably suffered some kind of psychological trauma in the past, which made them act strangely around him. Teammate D was different. He was gentle, kind, and very wise. Perhaps because he'd once been hounded by a pretty face, he didn't think looks were everything, and treated Ning Yufei with complete normality. Ning Yufei was deeply touched. Thanks to these teammates, he felt the apocalypse wasn't so hard to endure after all. He liked this world that didn't judge people by their looks. ** There was a dog named Wangcai. The reason it deserves its own mention is that it wasn't an ordinary dog. Not only was it Ning Yufei's dog, it had once belonged to a web novelist. Most importantly, it was a dog that understood human speech. That web novelist had written five novels: Apocalypse Warrior, Reborn: The Young Lady Has Arrived, Everyone Make Way, Dangerous Couple, Genius Baby Takes the Cultivation World by Storm, and My Hot-Tempered Handsome Lover. Unfortunately, before the last novel was finished, the web novelist won a five-million-yuan lottery. Then the apocalypse arrived, and the novel was abandoned. Maybe it was the price of understanding human speech, but Wangcai was forced to travel through five different worlds and serve as the dog of five different people. By sheer coincidence, those five people were the protagonists of the five novels. Even more coincidentally, the author of those novels was a total beauty fanatic, so every protagonist was a passionate, veteran beauty fanatic too. As a hairless dog, Wangcai stood out and caught the attention of all five of them. Every single one realized that it understood human speech. And as a dog that understands human speech, did it really expect to have a peaceful life? It was born to be a slave! After finally serving five masters, it at last arrived in a peaceful world, full of birdsong, flowers, and fresh air. Most importantly, it had a master who didn't care about looks! Its master was beautiful, fulfilling the canine worldview that its first master had warped. He was kind, too. When he saw online that schoolteachers earned less than pretty-faced actors, he spent four whole days researching and writing an essay criticizing the social phenomenon. And he was so clueless that he never realized Wangcai could understand human speech, not even before the apocalypse! He was the best master! But the apocalypse... was the worst apocalypse! After the outbreak, Wangcai was horrified to discover that its five deranged former masters had all gathered in this world! ** #Also known as
