As the fake young master cast out by a wealthy family, Lu Zixian's greatest wish is to return to the countryside and lie flat like a lazy fish.

He succeeds.

The old woman at the village entrance floats above her roof to sunbathe. Crops in the fields grow strange tentacles. The old man next door has a grandson who turns into a werewolf at night.

He acts as if he doesn't see any of it.

As long as it doesn't keep him from sleeping, he doesn't care what happens to the world.

Until the day a crazed S-class contamination beast charges into his yard.

Unable to put up with it any longer, Lu Zixian grabs a broom. "What are you howling for? Ever heard of disturbing the peace? Over there, in the corner. Squat down and count to a hundred."

The contamination beast freezes.

Then, when agents from the Containment Bureau come hurrying over, they see...

The high-risk contamination source on the S-class wanted list, squatting obediently in the corner and pawing at pebbles one by one.

Meanwhile, Lu Zixian is fast asleep in a rocking chair beside it.

Dozens of fully armed agents: ???

When Lu Zixian's test results come in, the entire Containment Bureau falls silent for a full three minutes.

Overnight, the young man who only wanted to be a lazy fish is targeted by the whole world.

The hardliners want to study him, the moderates want to protect him, and the monsters who once inspired terror begin spontaneously gathering in a line outside his yard, waiting for him to "comfort" them.

The head of the Containment Bureau comes to see him in person. "Mr. Lu, please, you absolutely have to come work for us! I'm begging you!"

Lu Zixian: ...

I only came back to the countryside to sort out my property deed. How did I end up turning myself into the world's savior?

He doesn't know that it all began three years ago.

In a game he casually abandoned, there was a "person" who waited for him for three thousand years. First in anger, then confusion, and finally in madness.

That being tore through dimensions and eroded reality, letting monsters run rampant, all to find the beloved who had "vanished after making a pact."

It found him.

When the sinister, violent evil god stands before Lu Zixian, everyone thinks the end of the world has arrived.

Lu Zixian looks at it and offers half a watermelon. "...Want some?"

Then the whole world sees...

The mad being capable of making the world tremble quietly accepts the watermelon and squats beside Lu Zixian's rocking chair, eating it one bite at a time.

Later, two sayings spread through the new world:

First: Don't mess with Lu Zixian. He's the world's only "savior," the beloved moonlight figure whom monsters willingly follow.

Second: And whatever you do, don't get close to Lu Zixian when it's around.

Because the one behind him will really get so jealous that it... destroys the world.

Upcoming novel: You People Have Really Put Me Through a Lot, Your Majesty [Interstellar]

Bai Cixing is the illegitimate son of a third-rate rural noble family, so insignificant that he might as well be invisible. The only highlight of his life is marrying a refined, gentle teacher assigned to the countryside.

He thinks he'll spend the rest of his life in quiet contentment.

Until one day, the Empire's mecha corps descends in a sky-darkening wave, their silver-gray metallic sheen swallowing the whole sky. They pass like a plague of locusts, and even the silly rabbits his husband raised for him don't survive.

Bai Cixing curls up in the depths of a cellar, trembling, with only one thought in his mind: His husband is still outside teaching. Please don't come back.

He turns and sees his husband emerging from the smoke. His human skin falls away like clothing, and the handsome, gentle face that always wore a smile splits open to reveal countless insectoid compound eyes. He becomes utterly unrecognizable.

With a single strike, he tears the entire mecha corps apart. Blood soaks the earth in the yard until it turns a deep red, and severed limbs roll to the cellar entrance, landing an inch from Bai Cixing's fingertips.

Bai Cixing is terrified out of his wits.

Amid the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, he sees his husband slowly turn around. His voice is as gentle as ever. "Did I scare you?"

Only then does Bai Cixing realize that his husband is the apocalyptic villain who slaughtered entire star systems in the novel he transmigrated into.

And he is the sole surviving heir to the Empire's royal family, lost outside the palace.
