Poison Attacks Poison: The Poisonous Top and Bottom Fight Fire with Fire

Content warnings: Lots of everyday scenes, a plot whose logic is a complete mess, and immature writing. This is an embarrassing old work, so please don't read it, okay? Be good and listen, just don't click in. (A dark culinary experiment from before it was accepted.) Coming soon: The Young Man from Miaojiang Refuses to Grow Old Blurb: What should two spirits born from poisonous plants say when they meet for the first time? Yu Zheng: I'm Gelsemium, also known as heartbreak grass. Qi Si: I'm Chinese bittersweet, also known as heartbreak grass. And so the two stared at each other for a long while. "Want to see who's more poisonous?" Yu Zheng couldn't help rolling his eyes. "If a venomous snake bites another venomous snake, will it die from the venom of the snake that bit it?" Whether either of them would die was anyone's guess, but they'd certainly both be badly hurt. Qi Si shut his mouth. At first, the Security Bureau kept the two of them under guard as Class One threats. But as time passed, Yu Zheng began to notice something was off. "Why does the head of the security department listen to your advice?" "Why hasn't the Hecate collar that's supposed to track you been switched on?" "And why... isn't your blood poisonous? Why does it only have an anesthetic effect?" The other man smiled, eyes glinting like a sly fox. "Why else? I'm a spy sent by the higher-ups to keep an eye on you. Naturally, it's so I can get closer to you." Yu Zheng was born in a laboratory working on the "God-Making Project." Unlike spirits that had come into being naturally, he was artificial, the product of greed, corruption, and sin. Ultimately, he was born from humanity's avarice. After finally escaping the lab, he ended up under the surveillance of the Security Bureau, jumping straight from the frying pan into the fire. Qi Si was much the same: another product of the lab. But he had been created by forcibly injecting a human body with Chinese bittersweet genes. He was born after Yu Zheng, and had been immersed in chemical solutions until researchers forcibly robbed him of his sight due to an uncontrollable factor. In his pitch-black world, he faintly sensed that someone was always telling him stories in a low, pleasant voice, stories about every beautiful thing he had never seen. But when he opened his eyes, he didn't even get a first look at the owner of that magnetic voice. The other man had already escaped the lab. Only after they truly reunited did Qi Si realize just how mistaken he'd been. "Wait, that was more than twenty years ago. I remember you were already an adult then. Shouldn't you be a middle-aged man in his fifties now?" Yu Zheng, whose face still looked to be in his twenties, narrowed his eyes dangerously and shot back without hesitation. "If you can make a move on an old man in his fifties like me, you must have pretty unusual tastes." [Fun fact: Gelsemium and Chinese bittersweet both rank among the ten most poisonous substances in ancient records.] A Gelsemium spirit, a cool and elegant beauty with exceptional combat prowess, as the bottom x a Chinese bittersweet spirit, a sly, scheming, tea-scented and devoted top Two powerful leads, locked in a battle of wills to see who poisons the other first. Reading guide: 1. There are more side-character scenes in the middle. Skip them if they aren't your thing. 2. They can sleep together without dying. 3. Two foxes play at being lovers in a ghost story, except one is artificial and the other is a bastard. They're as bad as each other.

Simple: cling to strong players, butter them up, and provide full-service flattery. What? Tips from viewers during the livestream can increase players' survival ratings??? Then what are you waiting for? Get on your knees and beg the instance boss to leave your corpse in one piece. When Su Yi realized that the instance bosses in the infinite-flow world were all caught up in messy relationship troubles, his eyes lit up. The next day, he put up a sign: We fix divorces, endless feuds, and the urge to remarry; we handle everyday bickering and squabbling, and pair up singles. We'll make your spouse keep thinking of you. Viewers: ...Is something wrong with him? The very next day, his sign actually attracted a customer. The four-eyed Spider Lady asked him tearfully, "I've fallen hopelessly in love with a black cat. Its fur is so smooth, its skin so tender, its taste so sweet... But he never pays attention to me. He even hates me. How do I win his heart?" Su Yi: "Use tricks on him, tie him up, and eat him. Then his flesh and soul will be joined with yours forever." Viewers: ??? This matchmaking seems a little off, doesn't it? Unexpectedly, the Spider Lady nodded. That very afternoon, she sent over a bloody cat's leg with a note: Thank you for your suggestion. I'd be happy to share my beloved with you. Viewers: ...Nice. It was another sunny day. Su Yi hummed to himself as he relaxed with his eyes closed in his courtyard. A shadow fell over him. The newcomer was dressed as a zombie, yet looked dashing and debonair. The pheromones of a top-tier Alpha wafted over. Su Yi covered his nose and smoothly replied, "Eighty percent off for getting back together, half price for matchmaking." He tilted his head. "Which one do you want?" The zombie-costumed man slowly answered, "You." Su Yi: ??? He cleared his throat. "I sell my skills, not my body. Just so you know." Zombie costume: "I'll sell mine." Su Yi: "..."

Both leads are unhinged and powerful. 2. The top has few scenes early on. The early story focuses on the instances; from the middle onward, the bottom starts lying flat and building his career. 3. This is an ABO story, but the author tends to get carried away while writing, so the ABO elements may be overlooked. 4. This is not a pregnancy story.
