Returning to the Time of the Tyrant’s Seizure

In his previous life, Xie Linchuan transmigrated into the body of a fallen kingdom’s general and became a prisoner of the new emperor, a tyrant.

To resist the tyrant’s ruthless attempts to possess him, Xie Linchuan spent a long time tormenting one another with him, then carefully plotted his revenge and succeeded.

He seized the new emperor’s throne and helped his former lord, who loved him wholeheartedly, reclaim it.

But in return, his former lord discarded him once he was no longer useful and forced his entire family to their deaths.

In the end, the one who saved him, crawling on his knees over burning coals and enduring humiliation, was the tyrant he had personally cast down from the throne: Qin Li.

When Xie Linchuan opened his eyes again, he had been reborn to the moment just after the city fell, when Qin Li captured and imprisoned him.

The tyrant’s gaze was cold and severe, his sword pointed at the former lord’s heart as he threatened Xie Linchuan: “If you want him to live, do as you’re told.”

After a long silence, Xie Linchuan simply nodded. “Fine. But the prison is too cold. I want to live in your palace.”

The tyrant: “...?”

Much later.

When the tyrant caught his former lord secretly meeting with Xie Linchuan, his eyes turned dark red and murderous fury surged through him. “You want to run away with your old flame? Dream on!”

Everyone nearby trembled with fear, but Xie Linchuan looked at Qin Li like a big dog afraid of being abandoned.

He sighed and casually ran a hand over Qin Li’s firm chest. “No. I can’t bear to leave you.”

The tyrant: “...”

Had he been a little too harsh just now?

Later, Xie Linchuan gradually realized that something was off. The ruthless, suspicious tyrant seemed to have changed.

On rainy days, Qin Li would instinctively draw his knees up. At night, he would secretly nudge his head against Xie Linchuan’s chest to make sure his heart was beating.

※

Xie Linchuan: “Your Majesty, have you ever loved anyone in your life?”

Qin Li turned his face away, his voice hard. “I grew up among wolves. I don’t know how to love. I only know how to take what I want by force.”

He paused, then added softly, “Unless you teach me.”

A scheming, take-charge general gong x a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted tyrant shou. Strong leads, gong-focused, both reborn, with the gong reborn early and the shou later. A sweet reconciliation after a breakup.

“Catching Pets and Farming in a Catastrophe Game”

Bai Yuan unexpectedly transmigrates into a pet-catching, farming, base-building gacha game he played years ago.

His card permissions and skill slots are all locked, but fortunately, the game System and inventory space are still available.

The game is now set in a brand-new post-apocalyptic wasteland version, where alien contamination has descended upon the world and caused countless plants and animals to mutate.

The surviving humans have established several safe settlements, keeping the mutated creatures and monsters contained in contaminated zones.

Food is running out, and most people can only subsist on nutrient solutions. Every day, someone loses control and turns into a beast.

※

Bai Yuan finds the little base he once owned, deep in the contaminated zone. It has become a place of exile for mutated beasts and people who have lost control.

With a head growing out of his liver, Bai Yuan gazes at the beastfolk, now sporting sharp claws and tails and acting vicious and savage, and slowly breaks into an evil smile.

They’re just fluffy troublemakers, aren’t they? Free labor! I’ll gladly take them!

What’s this, a fire-breathing crimson fox? Bai Yuan pulls out a capture ball. Mine. One seat in the kitchen, please.

A scissor-horned demon ram and a steel-spiked wild boar? He’ll take them all. They can answer to his wool coat and cumin chili peppers.

Just as Bai Yuan is working up a storm at the base, its former ruler, Lord Xueyuan, returns.

The imposing Snow Wolf King Mu Ye exudes a cold, menacing aura. His dark golden eyes fix on Bai Yuan with ill intent.

“You’re the intruder? Anyone who dares invade this territory becomes food.”

Bai Yuan: What’s all that grunting? The base doesn’t keep idle wolves.

Then Mu Ye takes human form, revealing the face of a rebellious, silver-haired heartthrob.

Wait, why does he look a little like the SSR Bai Yuan poured so much time and money into raising?

※

Bai Yuan clears land and farms, raises livestock on the ranch, and practices alchemy in the workshop. His little base gradually expands until it becomes the whole contaminated zone’s infamous “sweatshop.”

The other human settlements are stunned to discover that the contaminated beastfolk have recovered from their frenzies and are living perfectly well in the deepest part of the contaminated zone.

Apparently, crops and food from that place can suppress contamination!

As the bigwigs and crowds from other bases rush over, more and more people gather around Bai Yuan.

Mu Ye crawls around in the shadows, nudging the other fluffballs out of the way, and grits his teeth. “You’re the one who abandoned me for so long! I’ll never forgive you!”

Bai Yuan tugs on his wolf ear. “Then stop pawing at my trouser leg.”

The snow wolf flicks his ears and lets out a threatening, ferocious howl. “Awooo~”

Bai Yuan smiles. What are you howling for? Aren’t those ears and that tail there for me to pet?
