Who Let Him Become the Human Emperor?

[Updates at 8 a.m. before joining the V list. If there's no update, don't wait.]

Initially a bit like a dead-eyed robot, later cold and obsessive fake widower seme × carefree, morally bankrupt but dependable uke

Pei Xiaoran × Chi Wushi

1.

Years later, the chief writer of the Great Wilderness Daily interviews Chi Wushi.

“Your Majesty, your life has been extraordinary. You rose out of nowhere from an unknown academy student, defeated all rivals to become Human Emperor, then single-handedly halted an apocalyptic disaster and saved the world. What's the secret to your success?”

Hearing this, Chi Wushi shyly covered his face.

“Actually, it all started with a rope.”

“What do you mean?”

“I was messing around and accidentally tied someone to me with a Red String of Fate. I didn't want to get married young, so I had no choice but to push myself and work hard until I became Human Emperor.”

“A Red String of Fate?”

“You know, that one! Only the Human Emperor can untie it! You hold one end, the other person holds the other, and boom, you're married!”

He held up his hand. A red string dangled from his ring finger.

The chief writer closed his eyes, trying to stay calm, then exploded and yelled, “There's no way the Great Wilderness could have such an unreliable Human Emperor!”

1. An original fantasy world of my own making. I get the final say on all explanations.

2. A passionate action-comic formula, slow burn, a half-baked leveling-up story. The whole thing is extremely chuuni. The plot takes up a lot of space, and I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so I don't know how to sum it up. If I had to classify it, it could also count as a comedy...

3. The “wife” is the seme. The leads get married first and fall in love later, in a way. Happy ending.

4. I'm not that skilled, and the whole thing is written in plain language. If you don't like it, feel free to drop it.

A preview of my upcoming novel: Is Being Reset to Factory Settings a Necessary and Sufficient Condition for True Love?

A mentally ill seme who has severe dissociative identity disorder and acts like both a dangerous psycho and a domineering CEO × a stubborn, seemingly honest and somewhat dim-witted uke who can take on the world behind the scenes

Cheng Bushi × Guan Tong

1.

Guan Tong, the greatest scientific achievement in the Holy Rite District in decades, has been troubled lately.

As a “weapon,” he needs to “form a contract” with someone to leave the lab. If he doesn't secure a contract within eighteen years of coming off the production line, he'll be recalled and modified.

And now, there are only a few days left before his eighteenth year.

But he's infamous for having gone berserk and wrecked more than a dozen contractors. So Guan Tong changed tactics and started thinking about how to blow up the lab.

As he was racking his brain, one day the lab ceiling was violently torn open.

A man fell from above, with the Inspectorate chasing him from behind and fireworks of explosions bursting before him. Shards of tempered glass rained down like flowers. Amid the flying dust and smoke, the two of them...

Fell for each other at first sight.

Guan Tong was granted special permission to leave the lab. In exchange, the organization assigned him a task:

Cure the dissociative identity disorder of the man he'd fallen for, Cheng Bushi, the Inspectorate's number-one agent.

The organization explained: “Cheng Bushi has one personality who is calm and composed, executes missions cleanly and efficiently, and has a perfect success rate. He's the ideal Inspectorate agent.”

“What about the other one?” Guan Tong asked.

“Oh, the other one is convinced he's a seventeen-year-old high school girl. All he wants is to meet his Prince Charming and have a forbidden romance that society would never accept.”

“Then what use am I? Shouldn't you find a psychologist?” Guan Tong was shocked.

The organization: “Because he says he's already met the prince he was destined for.”

Guan Tong: “Me?”

The organization: “Yes.”

Guan Tong: “You mean you want me to pick up a six-foot-two man in a princess carry and tell him tenderly, ‘Your prince is here’?”

The organization: “We want you to eliminate the perfect Inspectorate agent personality.”

Guan Tong: “?”
