After the Restricted-Genre Side Character Plays the Villainous Boss

My next novel will be The Zerg Scum Gong, but an Honest Guy. It's expected to start in October~

Blurb:

They are the embodiment of capital, the incarnation of darkness. They hold positions of power and authority, and they commit every kind of evil.

At the beginning of the story, they torment the protagonist shou, who holds a grudge; at the end, the protagonist takes his revenge on them in the most extreme ways, and they meet a tragic fate.

They are indispensable characters in wish-fulfillment novels: the villainous BOSSes.

Since their endings are so tragic that they can leave lasting psychological scars, nobody is willing to play a villainous BOSS.

With no other choice, the Wish-Fulfillment Novel Bureau borrows a batch of discarded gong characters from restrictive fiction to fill the roles.

After all, their job is to bully the protagonist. Close enough.

[Modern Arc] Evil tycoon X debt-ridden genius entrepreneur (complete)

System: You used your capital to crush the male lead, driving his company into bankruptcy and leaving him deeply in debt. His younger sister was forced to drink with an eighty-year-old man to borrow money. The male lead came to you and begged you on his knees to spare his family and friends, saying he would let you do whatever you wanted to him. You took the opportunity to humiliate him to the fullest...

Long Yin nods and holds up a bunch of grapes. Eat one, and I'll give you a million.

The male lead, who had already prepared to lose a hand: ?

The male lead hesitates, then nods and starts undoing his buttons.

Long Yin, who genuinely thought he was supposed to eat the grapes with his mouth: ??

Some time later, Long Yin looks at the male lead, who has come to borrow money for the twelfth time this month, and is baffled. No, can that lousy company of yours even stay afloat? You run into cash-flow problems twelve times a month?

The male lead expertly unbuttons his shirt. Well, starting a business really is too hard.

Long Yin, after watching a show twelve times in one month, rubs his eyes. Grapes are out of season. I'll let it go this time.

The male lead nods, takes his tie in his mouth, and reveals the necklace under his shirt. Then, how about I show you something new?

Long Yin: ...

No, wait, is this right?

Wasn't he supposed to be the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel? Why is he even more explicit than someone from restrictive fiction like me?

[Zerg Arc] A useless female who awakens a second time as a male X a strict, cold instructor at a training base

System: You're the worst-performing female at a military training base. You're at the bottom in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and mental power, and you live every day under the cold stares of others. Just as you're about to be expelled, you suddenly awaken a second time and become a precious male! You go from a nobody to someone important overnight, and take furious revenge on the insects who once looked down on you, especially the strictest, coldest instructor at the military base...

You Li nods and takes out a marriage registration form. Marry me, and we'll call it even. Otherwise, the base will close, and you'll be out of a job.

The instructor, who is about to spend the rest of his life in prison for abusing a male: ?

After they marry, You Li subjects the instructor to merciless verbal abuse every day. You must feel humiliated to be forced to marry a useless guy like me, who can't even hit the slowest moving target in the bull's-eye.

The instructor is stunned. B-but you're a male. Males generally don't need to know how to hit moving targets.

You Li: Hah, you say that, but you don't mean it.

The instructor: ?

At the dinner table, You Li doesn't miss a chance to insult the instructor. You must find it hard to swallow food cooked by a useless guy like me, who couldn't even touch your sleeve in combat class.

The instructor: (Too afraid to speak, he silently and quickly finishes all the food.)

You Li: Hah, what a sham.

The instructor: ...

Even in bed, at the crucial moment, You Li stops to torment the instructor both physically and emotionally. I know you were so strict with me because you wanted what was best for me, because you didn't want me to die on the battlefield. I know all that, but I'm still a heartless, ungrateful piece of zerg scum. The greatest misfortune of your life was meeting me.

The instructor: ...

Not long afterward, the wave for equality between males and females sweeps across the zerg planet. The instructor, who had firmly supported the conservatives, defects to the law-reform faction, leads the charge, and brings the Male Protection Association's rule to an end.

On the first day of equality between males and females, the instructor takes up his old job again, using a little whip to make the males practice shooting at moving targets.

Instructor: Look, my lord, among the males who can hit moving targets, you're the best and most outstanding!

You Li: ?

[Holy Son of the Church Arc] A male Holy Son raised by the Holy Tower X the leader of the underground city's resistance forces

System: You are the Holy Son revered by the Church as a miracle, the future Pope, God's representative, and the hope of the zerg. A wildly absurd attack leaves you stranded in the black market, where the resistance leader from the underground city kidnaps you and illegally extracts your healing factor. You pretend to cooperate and earn the leader's trust. Once you retrieve your communicator, you betray him without hesitation and are taken back to the Holy Tower by the Holy Guards. After that humiliating experience twists your mind, you commit all the Church's forces to crushing the resistance, raze the underground city, and bring a disaster that nearly wipes out the zerg...

Kui Lan glances at the taut fabric across the leader's chest and says there's no problem.

When the leader needs a healing factor...

Kui Lan: If you let me suck X, I'll let you suck out my healing factor.

Leader: ?

When the leader is about to be discovered by the guards...

Kui Lan: His thing is bigger. I'll go with him.

Guard: ...

When the leader is surrounded by the Church and has nowhere left to turn...

Kui Lan: If you let me suck X, I'll help you raze the Holy Tower, abolish divine rule, and liberate the underground city.

Leader: ?????

[Please Note]

1. This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality. Please don't draw parallels to the real world.

2. A pure-hearted younger gong from restrictive fiction who was returned as unwanted X a mature shou from wish-fulfillment fiction who knows everything

3. Episodic story: Modern Arc, Zerg Arc, Holy Son of the Church Arc

4. Sweet, sweet, sweet; satisfying, satisfying, satisfying (for the shou). Both are pure, 1v1, and they dote on each other, with the gong doting on the shou more. The gong's affection for the shou is usually maxed out from the moment they meet.

5. It's even funnier if you read it alongside the live comments. Please support the official version~

Pre-release: The Zerg Scum Gong, but an Honest Guy

I.

After joining the transmigration-into-a-book bureau, Lai Ye is assigned to the department that specializes in playing honest men.

The department's motto: If your wife cheats, forgive her. If she gets pregnant, raise the child as your own. Take the biggest blame and be the most miserable victim.

After graduating from the training department with top marks, Lai Ye confidently chooses an SSS-difficulty tragic zerg novel. Unexpectedly, the system malfunctions. Not only does he transmigrate in person instead of possessing someone, but the original story fails to load as well.

Luckily, Lai Ye takes in the sight of his female spouse and little larva lying at his feet, both on the verge of death, and understands at once.

This scene is a classic. He can figure it out without the original story:

Isn't this just discovering after years of marriage that the child isn't yours?

For an honest man like him, something like that is as natural as eating and drinking.

The original guy really is something else, getting angry over such a little thing. He's embarrassing all honest men.

Lai Ye drops to his knees on the spot, embraces his female spouse, and says with restrained pain, I'm sorry. I lost my temper just now. From now on, I'll work hard to support you and the baby!

Female spouse: ?

Little larva: ??

II.

As you'd expect from a tragic novel with SSS-level difficulty, Lai Ye soon discovers that no matter how hard he tries, he can't get the one thing every honest man is supposed to have:

a respectable, permanent job.

Watching his female spouse grow plumper and the little larva at home cry for food, Lai Ye hides in the study every day, pretending to work online with an honest, forced smile. In reality, he's earning dirty money as an online troll on the star network.

A new emperor takes office, and for the first time in zerg history, the one-male-one-female system is put on trial. The massive change provokes countless voices of opposition. To fight it, conservatives hire large numbers of online trolls to post on the star network every day, suppressing the reformists until they can barely raise their heads.

An ordinary conservative posts: [I'm a military female. Thanks to the one-male-one-female system, I married the male I love and became his female spouse. My life looks happy, but it isn't. I never dare look into my male's eyes. I'm afraid I'll see his longing for other females and his disappointment in me. I keep thinking that without the one-male-one-female system, my male would surely be much happier than he is now...]

Comments: Sob, for the sake of male nobles' physical and mental health, we firmly oppose the one-male-one-female system!

Lai Ye posts: [I'm a male. Thanks to the one-male-one-female system, I married the female I love and made her my female spouse. I never dare look into his eyes. I know he doesn't love me at all, and the little larva I love isn't even my biological child. I often wonder whether, without the one-male-one-female system, he would have chosen to marry the male he loves as his seventh female attendant instead of choosing me. Even so, I'll still wish him well. I hope the one-male-one-female system is abolished so he can pursue the happiness he wants...]

Comments: ???????

The reformists are baffled. Is this, is this really a conservative?

Lai Ang replies: Yes, I'm a very conservative, honest insect.

III.

To save his dying comrade, Fei Er kidnaps the male Lai Ye to obtain his healing factor.

Fei Er is prepared to pay for it with his life. Unexpectedly, on that night when passion gets the better of him, he gets more than a healing factor from the male: an insect egg, too.

As it happens, the one-male-one-female system is being aggressively implemented, and Fei Er is lucky enough to marry Lai Ye as his female spouse.

Unfortunately, a system is only a system. It can't change what is in an insect's heart.

Knowing he is unforgivable, after their wedding he gives everything he has to Lai Ye. No matter how Lai Ye treats him, he accepts it without complaint, allowing himself to be covered in wounds.

Only once, when Lai Ye tries to kill the little larva, does Fei Er resist on instinct.

That one time makes his male turn over a new leaf... no, it makes him hit his head and lose his mind.

From that day on, Lai Ye changes completely. He puts down the whip and picks up a spatula, puts down the liquor bottle and picks up a baby bottle. Again and again, he attends the little larva's parent-teacher meetings. Night after night, he clings to Fei Er and expresses what he calls the "anger of an honest male."

Fei Er spends each happy day in guilt. He enjoys his male's kindness while waiting like a condemned prisoner for the day he must repay everything.

III.

Years later, thanks to Lai Ye's efforts in the opposite direction, the reformists declare victory, and the one-male-one-female system is permanently enshrined in zerg law.

At the same time, the military is reshuffled, and a series of wrongful cases involving males are reinvestigated.

In court, Lai Ye pleads for Fei Er with tears streaming down his face. I know that among the zerg, females must be loyal to males, and cheating is a serious crime. But Fei Er is different. He didn't do it on purpose!

Fei Er: ?

Lai Ye: The reason Fei Er cheated is all my fault. I made him cheat!

Fei Er: W-wait...

Lai Ye says with restrained pain, I'm impotent. I can't do it. Fei Er only wanted a little larva, and since I couldn't do it, he had to choose another insect. What did he do wrong? If anyone's at fault, it's me. If you have to arrest someone, arrest me!

Fei Er: Wait!!!!!!

Judge: Maintain decorum in court. Save the public displays of affection for home. Next case.

It's still my own take on zerg fiction. The gong dotes on the shou, plus.

Theme: Respect yourself and respect others.
