The Twenty-Seventh Diary; After the Yandere Male Lead Set His Sights on Me, I Had Nowhere to Run

Chen Rang died suddenly from overwork and was bound to a System.

The System's mission was to win over the male lead. He could only come back to life after completing it.

The System specifically warned him, though: the male lead hated his original self to the extreme, and plenty of previous players had failed to win him over.

Following the System's advice, Chen Rang nervously set about pursuing him.

But he soon discovered that Yan Yundu was nothing like the System had described.

Chen Rang got up early every day and ran all over the city just to buy Yan Yundu his favorite breakfast and wait for him outside the dorm. The System told him that previous players had done the same, but Yan Yundu had fed all the food to the dogs.

Yet now Yan Yundu accepted his breakfast with a beaming smile, then took Chen Rang's hands, red from the cold, and warmed them against his chest.

Yan Yundu had been drugged, and Chen Rang went to pick him up. The System told him that a previous player had offered himself, only for Yan Yundu to strip him and throw him naked into the street for everyone to gawk at.

But Yan Yundu before him had reddened eyes and misty, watery eyes. He tugged open his collar and pleaded with Chen Rang, "Rangrang, hold me."

To win Yan Yundu over more effectively, Chen Rang moved into his home, and their relationship grew closer by the day.

There was just one strange thing...

Yan Yundu wouldn't let him go near the iron door to the basement.

Until one day, while Yan Yundu was out, Chen Rang secretly pushed the door open.

The dim room was damp and cold. The only thing inside was a diary.

[Day 1: He's awake! Hehehe... Baby seems to have lost his memory. That's okay. Losing his memory is great. I can start all over again.]

[Day 2: He used to always try to run away. That's okay. The first time, I'll break one of his wings. The second time, I'll break his legs. The doctor says I have to learn patience, but he doesn't know... Every second I see him, I want to tear him apart and meld him into my bones and blood.]

[Day 87: He's so quiet when he's asleep, like a delicate porcelain doll. I want to take him apart and see if I'm the only one in his heart, too.]

[Day XX: He cried and begged me to let him go. So cute. But no matter how long he cries, the door won't open.]

The last page of the diary was dated today.

Chen Rang's hand shook, and the diary fell to the floor.

When he woke again, a golden chain was around his neck. He was inside a luxurious cage, with red cameras blinking in the room.

He sat astride a rocking horse as Yan Yundu emerged from the shadows. Long, slender fingers lifted the hem of his lace dress, and the chains rang brightly as the horse rocked.

Only then did Chen Rang realize that the shape of Yan Yundu's prominent Adam's apple was exactly the same as the joint of his own missing little finger.

The diary lay scattered on the floor. Yan Yundu's eyes curved in a smile. "Oh my, you found out."

Trembling, Chen Rang reached out to the System for help.

"World initializing... Data anomaly, data anomaly..."

The cold electronic voice turned into a familiar, low chuckle.

"Baby, where can you run this time?"

Reader Advisory:

1. Over-the-top melodrama, really, really over-the-top.

2. Includes pregnancy-and-run and groveling-to-win-back-the-wife tropes.

3. Both the top and bottom are out of their minds, which is why they're such a good match.

4. Later on, the bottom will be forcibly turned into an Omega by the top.

5. Includes some physical and psychological abuse.

[Also known as Inheriting My Father's Estate and Don't Abandon a Crazy Top So Carelessly]

There are three designations in the world: Alpha, Omega, and Beta.

Wen Yu is a Beta at the very bottom of the slums.

He's kind, gentle with others, and famous for being a pushover.

Until one day, someone claiming to work for his father finds him.

That's when he learns he's the illegitimate son of an Imperial noble who was lost outside the family.

And the reason they've brought him back is to marry into the imperial family in place of his younger brother.

Everyone across the interstellar realm knows the Emperor is gravely ill. Every year, he takes a new consort to "bring good fortune" and ward off death.

Wen Yu is forced to marry into the imperial family, but by the very day he arrives at the palace, the old Emperor is barely clinging to life.

He becomes a consort in name only.

Until one day, a blind young man breaks into his chambers.

The youth has an icy expression and an interstellar gun in his hand.

A little wolf cub, he thinks.

In the depths of that freezing winter, he takes in the blind boy and raises him as his own son.

He pours all his affection into the boy, until he sees the possessiveness in the youth's eyes, impossible to hide despite his blindness. Then he learns that the old Emperor's current state is all the boy's doing.

To save his own skin, Wen Yu decides to run.

Just when he thinks he's escaped Chi Weiw an for good, he opens his eyes again to a dark room and a pair of red eyes.

Chi Weiw an's face is alight with a sick, feverish obsession. Smiling, he says, "Do you know there are two ways to get a Beta pregnant?"

"First, turn him into an Omega."

"Second, force open his reproductive tract."

-

Every nation across the interstellar realm knows that the Empire's crown prince is the true power behind the throne. He's handsome, decisive, and a top-tier S-class Alpha.

Every family wants to marry off their child to him and compete for the vacant position of Crown Princess Consort.

Then, at a banquet, everyone sees the usually aloof crown prince holding a Beta in his arms. The Beta's nape is covered in bite marks, and the scent of an S-class Alpha radiates from his very bones.

Most eye-catching of all is the Beta's swollen belly.

Everyone speculates about the Beta's identity.

But no one knows that, deep beneath the imperial palace,

stands an enormous golden birdcage.

At its center, the Beta lies pinned beneath an Alpha, who presses a transparent needle into his arm.

"Only after you become an Omega and I mark you completely will you stay obediently by my side."

"I inherited all of my father's estate, including you."
