Does a Straight Guy Have to Be the Dragon King’s Wife Too? (Transmigrate Into a Book)

↑Click to visit the little nest shared by the bird and the bat octopus↑ Wrapping up now. It's complete and ready to binge. Blurb: High school student Xuan Ya transmigrates into a dark, Lovecraftian power-fantasy novel, becoming an utterly ordinary cannon-fodder character. The world is as dark as it gets, and the protagonist is as ruthless as they come. Xuan Ya: I get it. I'll steal the protagonist's opportunities, become his sworn enemy and archrival, get promoted and make more money, and reach the top of the world! He succeeds, but he also fails. Because the power-fantasy protagonist who was supposed to destroy the world stops focusing on ruining everyone else's lives and turns his attention to getting it on with him. Xuan Ya: Thanks for asking. I'm straight, and I'm homophobic. Xuan Ya rejects the invitation and gets sent back in time twice. The power-fantasy protagonist either sees him as his partner or treats him like his wife. Xuan Ya is at his wit's end with this protagonist's insistence on getting it on with him. Is there really not a single straight man in this world? After two time resets, Xuan Ya's sanity hits zero. He breaks down in tears in front of the protagonist: Please, I'm begging you, leave me alone. I'll never bully you again. I won't be a villain anymore, so please stop being gay, too. I just want to go home. Yaxiu Na, who had just been stabbed by him and nearly killed: ...? Wasn't he supposed to be the one saying that? With one last chance, Xuan Ya asks for nothing but for the protagonist to stop getting it on with men. He jumps into the abyss alongside Yaxiu Na, willing to live and die with him, and diligently becomes his most loyal underling and friend. But their friendship turns into something else. When Xuan Ya comes to his senses, the protagonist is pressed against him, saying, "Bro, you smell so good." Terrified out of his wits, Xuan Ya fakes his death and runs away to a distant place. Yaxiu Na still finds him, drags him back by force, and locks him in a birdcage he prepared long ago, claiming it's for his own good. Locked in the cage, Xuan Ya is wantonly toyed with and forced to accept every twisted desire of his "good friend." He even has to shoulder his own mission and bear children for the Abyssal race. Only then does he discover, to his shock, that every power-fantasy protagonist he encountered during his first two time resets has returned, each demanding their own partner. The Blood Moon incarnation of the vampires, the Celestial race's arbiter, the Mirror Demon in the mirror... One familiar yet different face after another slowly appears. Poor thing, they sigh. It must be so painful and hopeless. If that's the case, why not come to us instead? We'll treat you well. When the incarnations of the Supreme Lords start fighting among themselves, each trying to kill the one and only Child of Destiny and take his place, the world truly descends into chaos. One day, the brilliant, ruthless, and cruel Yaxiu Na turns into an idiot. Xuan Ya, a madman in everyone else's eyes, stares at the idiot in front of him. After a long silence, he says, "Stop clutching my clothes. What are you talking about?" Yaxiu Na: "You smell so good. Why are we sleeping together? Are you my wife?" Yaxiu Na: "Wife." Xuan Ya: "Aaaaaah, get away from me, you stupid idiot! I'm not your wife!!!" Couple dynamic: Older, beautiful nonhuman seme x younger, unlucky, hot-tempered, straight human uke. Content warnings: dark and twisted, melodramatic, old-school, coercion, Lovecraftian seme. He runs, the other chases, and he can't escape, including a fake-death escape followed by being caught and dragged back. The seme is truly nonhuman, extremely twisted and utterly insane, with a major size difference between them. The seme is a splintered being with clones, and there's a pseudo-selfcest scene between the Mirror Demon and the uke. As the Mirror Demon, the seme is taller than the uke. The seme is genuinely insane, an evil man who will do anything and everything. If that's not your thing, don't read it. The seme really did destroy the world. He's pure evil and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. The uke is genuinely mentally unwell and liable to lose it at any moment. He is also extremely afraid of the seme. A Lovecraftian nonhuman story. The author lets loose, with forced romance and confinement. Both leads are sexually exclusive. Everyone except the uke is at risk of being killed at any moment by the seme. He is truly an irredeemably evil protagonist. My writing has its limits. Feel free to drop the story without telling me. No ship-bashing or reversing the pairing, no self-insert fantasies or reader-insert comments. I'll delete them on sight. A recommendation for my upcoming story: The Power-Fantasy Protagonist's White Moonlight Fell for Me Years after transmigrating, Ying Hu accidentally discovers that this world is a novel, and that he is the power-fantasy protagonist's "original spouse." He's a voiceless little nobody, there to make way for the protagonist's true fated partner. When the power-fantasy protagonist, bound to him by a blood pact, gets lovey-dovey with a younger student at the academy, Ying Hu is the fiance the protagonist must take responsibility for. When the protagonist is caught in an endless struggle of love and hate with a villain, Ying Hu is the original spouse the protagonist cannot bear to let down. When the protagonist is being all lovey-dovey and ambiguous with a lover, Ying Hu is the partner the protagonist finds so hard to leave behind. Then the protagonist's harem kills Ying Hu with a blood curse. Having learned from his example, the protagonist takes great care when forming a pact with his true love and avoids disaster. Ying Hu, who died a horrible death, becomes the pitiful person the protagonist can never forget. The power-fantasy protagonist takes three wives and four concubines, dominates his corner of the world, and enjoys a happy life surrounded by lovers. Ying Hu sees how his story ends, and has only one question. Why is the power-fantasy protagonist's doomed white moonlight from the story lying at his doorstep? The person even more unfortunate than Ying Hu is Nan Shangyu, a prodigy with exceptional talent, even more of a power-fantasy protagonist than the protagonist himself. With no destined partner, he is ambushed while breaking through to the next level, suffers cultivation deviation, and dies suddenly. He's the white moonlight the power-fantasy protagonist admires. But in the late chapters of the main story, he fakes his death, comes back to life, and wipes out the protagonist and his entire harem. He's the ultimate villain! Ying Hu hates trouble. He wants to send Nan Shangyu away. Ying Hu signs to the newly awakened Nan Shangyu: You should leave. This is my home. Nan Shangyu says, "Are you making a seal, lifesaver? What kind of strange new spell is that? I can't understand it." "You saved me, so custom dictates that I repay you by marrying you. What do you mean, you already have a blood-pact partner? Tell me who he is. I'll go have a chat with him." Ying Hu gets stuck with a human barnacle who refuses to leave no matter how many times he's told to go. The power-fantasy protagonist comes to visit with a male confidant and apologizes to Ying Hu. "Sorry, but he's homeless, so I had no choice but to take him in." Ying Hu is being pinned against the wall, held in a fierce kiss by Nan Shangyu. A husky, teasing voice murmurs in his ear: "Sorry, baby, I'm homeless. Looks like you'll have to take me in, too." Furious, Ying Hu signs wildly and tries to push him away, but Nan Shangyu keeps kissing him. All he can do is shed tears. Screw you! This time, Nan Shangyu lifts his face, looking surprised. "Baby, you shouldn't use bad language." As always, a beautiful nonhuman seme x a handsome straight uke. The power-fantasy protagonist has three wives and four concubines, female confidantes, and a sworn enemy with whom he shares a love-hate relationship. So it's only natural that his low-profile original spouse would bring home a husband of his own, right? The blood pact isn't marriage. They're only nominally engaged, with no actual relationship. I just want to write a story about a perverted seme bullying a little mute. It's pure wish fulfillment. The seme is even more of a power-fantasy protagonist than the actual protagonist, and he's the big villain. The big villain bullies a little sad sack. No ship-bashing or reversing the pairing, no self-insert fantasies or reader-insert comments. I'll delete them on sight. Theme: Keep struggling tenaciously, even when trapped in a desperate situation.
