My Archrival Is My Wife!

[Daily updates at midnight]

The Earth's core has undergone a sudden change, triggering a crisis of extreme climate. Experts predict that Blue Star's environment will undergo a drastic transformation within ten years.

At this critical moment, a great leap in human technology becomes humanity's hope for survival.

Shen Shu, the most controversial contributor to scientific research, goes from being notorious to being mourned by everyone after his death.

As people enjoy the fruits of his work and remember him in the apocalypse, Shen Shu rides the train of death past the stations for Heaven and Hell. At the third station, the doors finally swing open.

His nemesis, who died two years earlier, steps aboard and says with unhurried ease, "Long time no see."

"..."

Shen Shu's expression is cold. "I never thought I'd have to see you even after I died."

Qin Zhiye only smiles. "Darling, I've been waiting for you for ages. Welcome to the Third Domain."

"Those who come here can go neither to Heaven nor to Hell. They can only wait for the person bound to them by karma to arrive. They must unravel everything before they can leave."

"And you," my nemesis,

"are the person I'm most deeply bound to."

A nemesis is a fascinating creature.

He is a glimpse of your destiny, an undying obsession, an enemy reflected in the mirror, a ghost that haunts you until death.

When Shen Shu passed beyond Heaven and Hell and saw Qin Zhiye approaching at the end of the train of death, he thought:

So I really am going to be haunted by him until death.

As they work to unravel their karma, Qin Zhiye keeps struggling with himself as he looks at his beautiful, clever, fragile, tempting nemesis.

A nemesis is a nemesis! A nemesis can't become your wife. If he becomes your wife, he'll never look you in the eye so frankly again... If he becomes your wife, then you can only curl up together under the covers at night and tumble into a warm bed of desire and love... So a nemesis can only be a wife... No, a wife can only be a nemesis... What he means is

That's right, a nemesis is a wife!

Everyone knows that the CEO of the Qin Group is young, promising, and masterful in business. With his noble, aloof looks, he's an untouchable beauty on a high peak.

But no one knows that Shi Zheng suffers from a mental illness that is difficult to cure.

Faced with his physical needs and his mother's attempts to arrange a "fiance" for him, he decides to find a lover who can satisfy his needs, with sex but no feelings.

As soon as word gets out, a young college student steps forward to approach him.

"I want to see Mr. Shi..."

Ling Liu is tall and striking, with sharp features. Yet his dark eyes are as pleading as a puppy's. Looking at Shi Zheng through the crowd, he says, "He knows why I'm here."

Shi Zheng gives him a cool glance. "Fine. You, then."

After spending some time together, Shi Zheng is fairly satisfied with his lover.

Ling Liu is handsome, has incredible stamina, lasts a long time, and is enthusiastic. He seems even more addicted to a certain activity than Shi Zheng is.

He can sit still and look pretty, or move and warm the bed. His only flaw is that he can't hide his little schemes: his desire to make their relationship official is written all over his face.

As time passes, Shi Zheng can't help but soften toward him.

He likes being in control of everything, and Ling Liu, whose whole heart and attention belong to him, makes it easy to give his feelings without worrying they'll be wasted or rejected.

Until he discovers that Ling Liu is the very "fiance" his mother wanted to foist on him.

Shi Zheng decisively walks away and ends their relationship at once.

Without his lover, his illness grows worse. His accustomed body craves satisfaction even more, but he can hardly bear anyone else coming near him.

Shi Zheng suffers, but he has no regrets. He hates the feeling of being deceived and betrayed, and won't tolerate even the slightest bit of it.

But a month later, Ling Liu shows up at his door, insisting that he's carrying their child and producing a snake egg.

Shi Zheng: "?"

Ling Liu: "Actually, I'm a snake."

He opens his mouth to show his forked tongue, transforms a tail to show Shi Zheng his snake tail, and even shows him a snake's... parts.

"I'm great at kissing, I can keep going for ages, my tail comes in handy, and I can have children."

His young lover lowers his head and pleads, "Could you please not send me away?"

"..." Thinking about what he'd just seen, Shi Zheng reaches over and lifts the obstructive fabric. "Fine, but I want to see your tail first."
