What’s it like to get transported into an infinite-loop horror dating sim and become its universally adored male protagonist?
In a word: “The protagonist is Tang Sanzang. Eat him and you’ll live forever.”
With his younger sister’s life hanging by a thread, Nie Qingliang followed the guidance he received in a dream and entered this massive game. The price was his memories, while Bai Nielie, the second personality who had once guided him, fell into a deep sleep.
Seventeen years later, Nie Qingliang woke up, and all kinds of melodramatic chaos began.
A BT doctor leers at his body and wants to force him into a possessive relationship. The uncanny lurk nearby, constantly wanting to tear him apart and devour him. There are even quick transmigration players trying to win him over?
ABO settings and rich-family melodrama are small potatoes. Every so often, he also has to survive a hellish love-triangle scenario combining the uncanny, nonhumans, and supernatural powers.
Nie Qingliang: “Am I really that irresistible?”
Bai Nielie: “You certainly smell delicious. Like sea-salt cake.”

As the protagonist of the game, how could he not meet the Game Master?
So Nie Qingliang set himself a goal: fight his way through the instances, crush the three great uncanny beings, and become one of the game’s top powerhouses. And, of course, find a way to save his sister.
But after he actually entered the Game Master’s domain, he discovered there was no Game Master at all.
Standing in the seat of the Game Master was a mirror...
“Can I mark you now?”
“My dear primary personality.”
--
In some corner, the outcast little System.
System: (BGM) “Forgetting isn’t your fault. It’s the only possible outcome.” T-T Do you think I want to stay inside your body? Someone won’t let me!
The quick transmigration players: “I’ll save this world! I’ll set the original plot back on track!”
In another world, his sister was working to earn points, trying to save her brother.
Nie Qinlian: “I’m going to save my brother, get him out of that disgusting world!”
Bai Nielie, the scheming version: “While you’re all busy, I’ll keep sleeping and enjoying my life with my wife.”

[Bonus Scene]
Nie Qingliang suspected that someone lived inside the mirror in the secret room at home.
It started after he cleared a campus-ghost-story game instance and unexpectedly awakened an O-type constitution, throwing his pheromones into disarray. He locked himself in the secret room for three days.
During those three days, an Alpha’s pheromones soothed him, but never left a mark on his gland.
Meanwhile, his reflection sometimes moved out of sync, and every morning he found a human-shaped indentation on his bed.
So every day after work, Nie Qingliang went home and released his pheromones toward the mirror, trying to lure that Alpha out.
Until one night, he was so tired that he forgot about this little experiment...
The next morning, he found a bite mark on his collarbone and a note stuck to the mirror.
It read: My dear primary personality, I want to mark you.

Content warnings:
- An ABO selfcest story, focused mainly on the plot with romance as a secondary element. The opening is from the gong’s perspective; after entering the game, the shou is the main viewpoint character.
- Horror creatures appear. If you find them upsetting, please stop reading.
- The primary and secondary personalities share one body at first, and will later split into separate bodies.
- The primary personality is Nie Qingliang, and the secondary personality is Bai Nielie. The primary personality will have both A and O traits early on, but not after they separate.
- The game is not a traditional dating sim and does not consist solely of game-instance plots. There is no polyamory. Everyone else has one-sided feelings for the male lead, who is entirely devoted to himself.
- Everything in the story is made up to serve the plot and has no connection to reality.

"Raising the Merman Emperor in an ABO Dating Show"
Blurb
[Mute beauty, violent merman Emperor Alpha * soft, fluffy parrot Omega with a gossip-loving soul, a frontline entertainment reporter]
Shao Yubai, a top-tier star and famous celebrity gossip exposer, died one day and found himself inside a melodramatic dating-show novel, as a throwaway parrot planted by the main villain beside the protagonist gong. Apart from being cute, he had nothing going for him.
Ending One: His identity is exposed, and the mute merman Emperor, Li Shen, squeezes him to death.
Ending Two: He brings back information and gets trampled to death by the villainous octopus.
Shao Yubai: “A melodramatic novel? And a dating show? One of those fake reality shows from back when I worked at a certain entertainment platform? No thanks. I’m making a run for it and going off to earn money.”
Soon, a piece of gossip sent the whole world into an uproar.
[Violent Merman Caught in Secret Rendezvous with Bowlegged Octopus. The Two Are Madly in Love, and the Merman Even Grew Legs to Win His Lover’s Favor!]
Merman Emperor Li Shen was furious: “You’re asking for death!”
The villainous Octopus turned the sea upside down: “Li Shen and I are madly in love?”
Shao Yubai, who had made a fortune from the gossip, was fretting: If only I could get some merman scales. They’d make a perfect necklace.
--
Shao Yubai loved glittering jewelry, especially merman scales. Unable to resist temptation, he was tricked by a dating-show director into joining the cast as a contestant.
Shao Yubai stared at the merman scales inside the trophy: “I... I’m just a little parrot who can’t resist temptation!”
When he spotted a familiar figure: “I’m quitting!”
Merman Li Shen smiled at Shao Yubai, while thinking: Little thing, when you go looking for trouble, it always comes back to you.
--
The merman race was born to rule the sea. Their songs were enchanting, but Li Shen was a strange one. He never spoke, and so had no matched partner.
Until one day, his nemesis sent him a talking parrot.
The first thing the parrot said was, “How much do you cost? I’ll buy you one day and keep you around just to produce scales for me.”
That same day, Li Shen went into heat. He watched with his own eyes as the parrot turned into a human and gave him a temporary mark.
Then the parrot ran away.
