He Is No Longer Miserable

Jiang Di [shou]: Disabled widower, overworked office drone, cute and rebellious omega with a mental illness

Shen Yuchen [gong]: Officer who gives him whatever he asks for, an alpha who is lonely inside, obsessive, and voyeuristic

[Gong and shou are both virgins, no children, both first-time spouses] [Main story complete]

Jiang Di: I was often beaten at my ex-husband's house. My arms and legs are covered in bruises.

Shen Yuchen covers his fair skin with a blanket and reminds him: There are differences between alphas and omegas.

Jiang Di parts his hair, revealing the raised scars on the nape of his neck, flushed pink.

Officer, you've got it wrong. My glands are damaged. I can't seduce you.

Shen Yuchen's gaze shifts slightly. His fingers tighten around the blanket as he covers the scarred nape of Jiang Di's neck.

He pauses. "That's absurd. How could you possibly seduce me?"

Under the dim light, the omega, who feels the cold easily, shivers and looks back at him.

Shen Yuchen feels as if his throat has closed up. He can't make a sound.

.

Jiang Di is arrested on suspicion of murdering his husband.

Shen Yuchen turns the pen in his hand, refusing for a long time to approve the application to detain Jiang Di.

Jiang Di observes the self-proclaimed impartial officer and decides he's a "good father" to entrust his daughter to: wealthy and powerful, and someone he sees every day.

*

Jiang Di: Officer, could I have your contact information?

Shen Yuchen smiles apologetically. I'm afraid not.

Shen Yuchen's fingertip hovers over the fingerprint lock. If he unlocks it, a QR code will appear.

Jiang Di smiles. That's all right.

He leaves Shen Yuchen with a back that shows no discouragement, not even the slightest hint of disappointment.

Shen Yuchen: ...

His phone unlocks with his fingerprint. He pressed it by accident, so he can only discreetly put his hand behind his back and clench it in silence.

*

Jiang Di asks Shen Yuchen: Mr. Shen, would you like to come to my place for dinner?

Shen Yuchen pretends to hesitate, holding back his answer. It's so late...

Jiang Di chuckles softly. You're right. Sorry to bother you.

Shen Yuchen pulls back the leg he was just about to step forward with, swallowing the smile about to bloom on his face and the words of thanks along with it.

He should have learned his lesson by now.

*

Shen Yuchen's home blows up.

Before Jiang Di can say anything, Shen Yuchen politely asks, "Mr. Jiang, could I stay at your place tonight?"

Jiang Di is surprised. He quietly fastens the buttons on his shirt, which is open near the collar, and says hesitantly, "Well..."

Shen Yuchen: That's all right, I don't mind. Surely Mr. Jiang wouldn't want me spending the night in the stairwell?

Jiang Di: ...That's not (very appropriate).

Shen Yuchen smiles triumphantly. Don't mention it. Thank you.

Jiang Di: ?

Where did Mr. Shen's reserve go?

.

Jiang Di's ex-husband died after drinking poison. Before his death, he had planned to kill his wife and collect the insurance money, but by a twist of fate, he poisoned himself instead.

Somehow, everyone related to Jiang Di by blood keeps dying one after another.

No one approves of this marriage. A twenty-two-year-old disabled widower and a promising, outstanding officer fresh out of school are a terrible match in every way.

Shen Yuchen defies everyone's objections and insists on marrying Jiang Di.

One day, Shen Yuchen realizes something is off about his little wife.

After rummaging through everything, he finds himself holding a high-value insurance policy, his hands trembling.

He's the insured, and his wife is the beneficiary!

Shen Yuchen doesn't even know when he signed this policy.

He turns around to find his wife gazing at him gently. Yuchen, come eat.

Three seconds later, Shen Yuchen's expression shifts from disbelief to acceptance. He wraps an arm around his wife's waist. Okay.

What's death, anyway?

He'll become the fiercest, most capable vengeful ghost, haunting Jiang Di's side.

For Jiang Di, Shen Yuchen will die completely, willingly, and without the slightest effort.

At the bedside, the steady beeping of the monitors fills the room.

Jiang Di grips Shen Yuchen's cold hand, trying to hold back the corners of his mouth as tears of joy stream down his face.

Yuchen, thank goodness it was only an allergic reaction. It was just one dish. Why did you eat so fast? Were you in a hurry to be reincarnated...?

Shen Yuchen says nothing. He sniffs his wife's scent like a dog, breathing hard.

.

Later, both of them realize that something is off about the other.

Shen Yuchen isn't just connected to the Special Forces Bureau. He's also the top assassin, S, a rare find worth a fortune.

Jiang Di isn't just an ordinary office worker. He's also mentally ill.

Jiang Di looks gloomily at the medical report in his hands and writes a suicide note.

He doesn't notice the tall figure beside him snatching the report away.

Shen Yuchen's expression shifts repeatedly.

Jiang Di panics, realizing all his efforts have gone to waste.

He sighs and explains calmly: Yuchen, I didn't mean to deceive you. Since you know I have late-stage lung cancer, don't waste money trying to save me.

Shen Yuchen gives him a strange look and points at the report. Doesn't it say late-stage mental illness?

Jiang Di continues talking to himself: You have to take good care of my daughter...

Shen Yuchen suddenly asks him seriously: Di, is she really your daughter?

Jiang Di's smile freezes on his face.

[Imperfect characters]

Jing Yuan, the most helpless streamer in the history of horror livestreaming.

After being forcibly sent into a horror world, everyone looks forward to seeing the pretty boy's death.

But viewers soon realize the timid beauty has a temper. He's bullied from the start, but later he turns everyone into well-trained dogs.

Nearly every man who falls for Jing Yuan ends up on the road to a groveling pursuit, fighting rivals for his love, because of his terrible personality.

Jing Yuan is timid, beautiful, kind, innocent, delicate, ill-tempered, holds grudges, and takes advantage when people give him an inch. Sometimes he pretends to be a harmless fool, relying on his terrible acting to fool the clever.

But how could he be anything other than the most popular streamer in the history of livestreaming?

[The young bride brought in to bring good fortune to a feudal family]

Jing Yuan plays a bride forced into a wedding sedan as a replacement, disguising himself as a young wife and entering a ghost marriage with the deceased head of the family.

[Thirteen brides have died this month. Your mission is to survive.]

The Daoist priest orders the bride to bring good fortune to the household for seven days. The eldest son will enter the house after those seven days, and the uncle will enter seven days after that.

Every mirror must be covered with red cloth. No one may enter or leave a locked room alone. If you hear a nonhuman voice, stand still and hold your breath.

Jing Yuan closes his eyes and opens them again. Another person has died in the haunted mansion.

The young master leans over Jing Yuan's bed, grinning. "You're a man? You're so pretty."

The young master is eighteen and rarely meets playmates his own age.

But he treats Jing Yuan like a toy, tricking him into a dark room. The more horribly people scream, the more excited he gets.

Jing Yuan trembles all over in terror. He sees one corner of the red cloth covering the mirror slip down.

A human-faced spider with eight human legs crawls out, revealing blood-red eyes in its eerie pose...

[The blind wife home alone, while her husband's friends keep coming to visit]

But her husband never had any friends.

Jing Yuan is blind and can barely make anything out. Sometimes he can feel a sudden chill.

He knows it's a ghost.

The ghost likes to press its face against his, taking advantage of how easy it is to bully Jing Yuan when he can't see.

Whenever he pretends to be weak and collapses to the floor, the ghost carefully conceals its presence.

But whenever one of her husband's "good friends" comes to visit, the ghost's presence becomes especially fierce.

The next day, several mysterious blue-purple finger marks appear on Jing Yuan's slender waist.

[Cross-dressing livestreamer, the younger brother he took in is always spying on him]

[Strange cases keep happening on campus, and his controlling adoptive father reveals his true nature]

[The frail, disabled young prince, while his elder brother rebels only to abdicate the throne]

Note:

0. Mild horror

1. A brainless, sweet novel, super Mary Sue, a little melodramatic, a little coercive, with a rivalry between men. The gong has multiple fragments, both gong and shou are pure in body and heart, and every world features someone who loves the shou.

2. Both are virgins. The gong and shou are both adults, none of their romances involve blood relatives, and they are not registered in the same household.
