The Pretty, Pitiful One Coveted by a Creepy Obsessive

(This is my first work, so I don't really recommend reading it TAT. I wanted to write a tragic love story, but it didn't turn out very well.)

After his family goes bankrupt, young master Xue Yanqing is left with enormous debts. With nowhere else to turn, he visits a temple on a rainy night and makes a desperate wish to the gods.

Little does he know, a wish made to an evil god comes at a price.

*

As soon as Xue Yanqing leaves the temple, he's told that his family's financial problems have been resolved.

But Xue Yanqing can't feel happy at all.

Whenever he bathes, gets dressed, or eats, he feels a cold, clammy gaze watching him, claiming every inch of his private space. It's everywhere.

That night, Xue Yanqing comes down with a high fever and has nightmare after nightmare. In his dreams, a black monster keeps devouring his body.

When he wakes, he breaks down crying and asks his childhood friend, who's an expert in the occult, for help. He begs him to get rid of the monster.

His usually gentle "childhood friend" takes the opportunity to make an unreasonable demand:

[The Yin energy on you is too strong. The only way to dispel it is for you to get close to me and take in some Yang energy.]

Xue Yanqing abandons all dignity, plants his unsteady legs on the ground, and offers his trembling, damp lips to his "childhood friend."

Unseen by him, countless hideous tentacles burst out from behind his "childhood friend," wrapping tightly around the boy as if building a nest...

*

Xue Yanqing discovers that the more intimate he is with his "childhood friend," the better he can resist the monster's attacks. He starts clinging to him 24 hours a day.

Then one day, he wakes to find the bed empty beside him, with a black monster in its place.

His fingertips trembling and his mind buzzing, Xue Yanqing runs for his life from their love nest, only to find his childhood friend standing at the villa entrance, clutching a yellow talisman and looking frantic.

Already dependent on him, Xue Yanqing rushes into his childhood friend's arms. His tear-streaked face rubs haphazardly against him, and he instinctively tries to press his lips to his.

But his childhood friend grabs his arm:

"Run! Get out of this haunted house! The one who was with you all this time wasn't me. It was a monster in disguise!"

As soon as the words leave his mouth, a familiar presence envelops Xue Yanqing from behind.

He stiffly turns his head, bit by bit. His "childhood friend" affectionately puts an arm around his waist as usual, but the forked tongue in his mouth...

has already reached his cheek.

Xu Anran cherishes his hard-won wife.

To fulfill her wish,

he timidly lets the neighbor, who clearly has ulterior motives, into their home. As the bed next door creaks and moans rise and fall, he frantically takes pills as if trying to punish himself.

A hand grips the medicine in his. The moment Xu Anran turns around in alarm...

His shirt is lifted, and a rough, calloused finger slowly and suggestively rubs his lower abdomen. "I heard that when an Alpha has a defective gland, their reproductive cavity develops a second time..."

"Your wife wants a child, doesn't she? How about you give birth to one for her?"

As soon as the words are spoken, his wife, a bruise purpling at her temple, appears outside and pounds furiously on the door!

(PS: The protagonist and his wife aren't legally married. They held a wedding banquet in the countryside but never registered their marriage.)

"Call me Daddy."

[Reading Guide]

1. The top is split into multiple incarnations, and everyone who has intimate contact with the protagonist is one of them. The "girlfriend" and "wife" are all men, and they're all the top.

2. The top is completely pure; there are no romantic feelings between his separate incarnations.

3. A melodramatic story. I personally love tragic love stories and the "chasing your wife to the crematorium" trope.

4. Immersive roleplay.
