After the Divine Lord Realized He Was a Substitute

Yingze, a revered god, had a long-deceased beloved, and spent years searching in vain for someone who resembled him.

Until the deceased's young nephew ascended to godhood.

Gazing at the face that resembled his old friend, Yingze's heart stirred. He hurried back to his residence and dressed as he had in his youth, clad in flowing white robes, cool and gentle.

Then, through the layered winter branches, he gave the young god in the tree a faint smile and a slight nod.

Born from the love of two primordial gods, Jing Yao had always gotten whatever he wanted. Gifted, quick to cultivate, and handsome, he was the young god everyone adored.

On the day he ascended to godhood, full of confidence, he drank alone. Through the layers of moonlight, he glimpsed a white-robed god whose features were gentle and whose bearing was otherworldly.

At a single glance, the young god was captivated for a lifetime, unable to forget the god's graceful presence.

So, despite the objections of countless elders, he insisted on joining households with Yingze. A thousand years after their wedding, he learned that he was nothing but a substitute for his uncle...

No matter. The young god rested his chin on his hand and smiled at his divine consort, bound in a bright red god-binding cord. White robes lay in disarray on the ground, revealing only a glimpse of a pale wrist flushed with a wanton red.

The god was no longer cool and distant, high beyond reach. His broken pleas were pitiful: "A-Yao... spare me... Mm... I won't do it again."

The young god gently lifted his consort into his arms and sighed. "Your Reverence used to regret that I only looked seven-tenths like my uncle. What about now?"

"I wonder how much we resemble each other now?"

The god wept silently. Only the water kept moving.

Please add my upcoming story to your collection: "Transmigrating into an A/B/O Pregnancy Novel with My Straight Childhood Friend"

Luo Tingsong knew he was the most forgettable person in any crowd. His grades were average, his aura gloomy, and long hair always hid half his face. People called him a freak.

The only unusual thing he had ever done was secretly love his childhood friend, Wen Shi'an.

Unlike Luo Tingsong, Wen Shi'an had always been the center of attention. He came from a good family, was handsome, cheerful, and popular. His debut album won a major music award, and he became a superstar while still young.

As his childhood friend, Luo Tingsong knew perfectly well that Wen Shi'an was completely straight, so he chose to keep his distance. The furthest he had ever crossed the line was writing a little fanfiction pairing himself with Wen Shi'an.

Then one day, Luo Tingsong woke up to discover that he and Wen Shi'an had both transmigrated into the fanfiction he had written.

The A/B/O one, with all the usual tropes: perfect compatibility, sex before love, childhood friend versus newcomer, and more.

Even worse, they had landed right in the chapter where Wen Shi'an went into heat and the two of them had sex over and over... Looking at Wen Shi'an, his face flushed as he licked his canine, Luo Tingsong wanted to die.

...Of course they did it. Luo Tingsong regretted not holding out against Wen Shi'an's clingy advances.

He resolved to give Wen Shi'an his normal life back, then fled the scene and cut off contact.

A month later, dizzy and nauseous every day, Luo Tingsong received his prenatal test results.

·

Wen Shi'an had no idea why his best friend in hard times had suddenly gone missing. Thinking he must have been awful in bed, he diligently studied every day to become the perfect alpha while searching for his friend.

At long last, he found him at the hospital. Overcome with emotion, he teared up and immediately came up with a reason for his friend's disappearance: he had a terminal illness and didn't want Wen Shi'an to be sad.

Then Wen Shi'an snatched up the medical report and took a look. Well, would you look at that, it was a prenatal checkup form.

Wen Shi'an: (╥ω╥) Bro, don't abandon your husband and child!

Luo Tingsong: ...???

Pairing: a gorgeous, insecure, gloomy man vs. a silly puppy who isn't actually straight
