A Battle of Submission with the Villainous Alpha

Complete. My new novel, *Love and Pain Syndrome*, is now underway. “The hand holding the ruler was beautiful too, beautiful enough that Lu Xiao wanted to bow his head and kiss it, to kiss between his fingers.” * The moment Xi Zhao transmigrated into a book and woke up, a mad dog bit him. Clutching the side of his neck as blood poured from the wound, Xi Zhao gave a cold laugh and beat the barely lucid dog half to death on the spot. Even then, the mad dog kept barking at him: “Xi Zhao! I won’t let you get away with this! You didn’t kill me today, so from now on, every time I see you, I’ll beat you up!” Xi Zhao’s eyes turned dangerous. No wonder this dog had the temperament of the biggest villain in the whole book. Xi Zhao had transmigrated into a melodramatic campus ABO novel. Its leads were a brash, domineering alpha top and a cool, stubborn omega bottom, and it brought together all the usual tropes: domineering possession, contract lovers, and chasing your wife to the crematorium. Of course, this kind of story always has a major villain to drive the leads’ romance forward. In this case, it was the mad dog who bit Xi Zhao: Lu Xiao, the young master of the Lu family. The male lead was at most “domineering.” This guy was genuinely insane. One kind act from the male lead bottom was enough to make him fall hopelessly in love, and from then on he chased the couple around, biting at their heels all the way through the bonus chapters. He never stopped breathing, and he never stopped causing trouble: the fighter jet of mad dogs. Xi Zhao, meanwhile, was merely a disposable character who coveted the male lead bottom and caught Lu Xiao’s attention. He appeared in only a few chapters. Xi Zhao had no intention of getting involved in this dramatic love story between a bunch of men. But through a twist of fate, he became the mad dog’s neighbor and was given the task of supervising his studies. Looking at that defiant, bared-teeth expression, Xi Zhao touched the teaching pointer on the desk, a decorative item meant to provide motivation, and smiled. “Sure. Let’s study. It’s not as if I don’t know how to teach.” Not paying attention in class, one swat. Slacking off on his homework, one swat. One wrong answer on a quiz, one swat. If his palms got too swollen, Xi Zhao would pull down his pants and spank him instead. He would even ask, “Young Master Lu, how come a top-tier alpha like you can’t even beat a low-ranking alpha like me?” Later, the mad dog finally learned to rein in his ferocity and wag his tail obediently at Xi Zhao. Looking at that flushed face, panting heavily, Xi Zhao gently brushed his thumb over the bloodied bite on his lip. “Young Master, how can you go into heat from something like this? Are you still going to bite me?” Lu Xiao was suddenly seized by an uncontrollable pang of longing and pain. * Lu Xiao at first: “I’m going to duel him!” Lu Xiao later: “Heh, I don’t care about him. I’m just pretending to obey him and pretending I’ve fallen for him. Stop talking, I have my own pace... All right, I guess we’re friends now... Of course we’re best bros! Two alphas sleeping together to deepen their friendship is perfectly normal, right?” Lu Xiao after that... Lu Xiao: (dazed) (giving up the struggle) Fine, I’ll admit defeat... So I lost, big deal... What do you mean, losing turns me into a puppy? He likes puppies, what am I supposed to do about that?! Xi Zhao: ^_^ Conquest and submission dance together; power and responsibility go hand in hand. /“Ruler Of Your Heart” [Composed, assertive, and strict, but incredibly good at pretending to be crazy, beautiful alpha top, Xi Zhao]× [Defiant and untamed, fierce but timid, actually deep in a chuunibyou phase, mad-dog alpha bottom, Lu Xiao] Bitter mint × tequila. This couple must fall in love with each other and stay together forever! At heart, this is just a sweet romance~ Next up: *That One Nonhuman Anthology*, a top-led anthology featuring all human tops and nonhuman bottoms~ P.S. Both leads have a bit of a sadistic streak. When I say they fight each other, I mean they really fight. The bottom has mild masochistic tendencies and a hand fetish he hasn’t even noticed himself, so there will definitely be scenes where he’s completely smitten with the top (sorry, I’m a pervert). But this couple is absolutely, mutually and irrevocably in love! They both adore each other!! No breaking them up or reversing their roles in your dreams!!! P.P.S. Because of their personalities and the plot, there will be some very chuunibyou-style descriptions. Please don’t flame me if that’s not your thing. There are countless great novels on Jinjiang; if this one isn’t for you, just pick another~ Also, though it’s necessary for the setup, fighting is very, very wrong!! P.P.P.S. So many people have asked in the comments that I’ll emphasize it again: [The top is taller than the bottom] [The top is taller than the bottom!!] The bottom is sixteen when he first appears, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have him start out at 170 cm. By the time he’s eighteen, he’s grown to over 180 cm. The top is always taller than the bottom, and the height difference is one of my favorite things, so it will come up repeatedly in the story. [Synopsis archived on 2024-03-08] * A short story in the same setting, *Love and Pain Syndrome*, coming soon Next up: *That One Nonhuman Anthology* * Who says “those who are not of our kind must have a different heart”? Human kinks can conquer the stars and seas! All human tops and nonhuman bottoms~ *Reverse Captivity* [Humble overworked employee × gloomy tentacles] Lately, the overworked employee has felt like someone is following him.

While sorting through the clutter, he accidentally finds a teddy bear. He stares at it, thinks for a moment, then washes it and hangs it on the clothesline to dry. That night, an intense gaze comes from beside his bed. He opens his eyes and sees the teddy bear, wearing a top hat, bowing elegantly. It takes off its hat and gives him a gentleman’s bow. “Greetings, my kind master. Would you like to become a magical boy?” After a long silence, he decisively closes his eyes. He must be exhausted from cleaning.

It’s just a shame I’ll die without ever having a wife.” Snake demon: ?
