[Cold, aloof, scheming beauty and mad scientist bottom x Nonhuman, devoted, gloomy tentacled evil god top who willingly lets himself be disciplined]
Qi Mingyuan is on the verge of a breakdown.
Since being reborn at the point before disaster struck, everything seems to be moving in a better direction thanks to his efforts.
Drawing on the experience of his previous life, he has become one of the foremost scholars researching [Contamination].
Using his memories from his previous life, he has contained [Contamination] outbreaks both large and small before they could spread, saving countless lives.
People admire and fear him, just as they revere the mysterious [Contamination], whose origins are unknown but which can wipe out all of humanity at any moment.
But Qi Mingyuan knows that from the very beginning, his memories and reality have diverged.
A [Source of Contamination] that can absorb all [Contamination] has appeared at his side.
And worse still, this [Source of Contamination] seems to like him very much.
It has been bored for far too long.
The intricate changes of fate, all the "possibilities" filling the universe.
It can see through them completely with a single glance.
But then it discovered an exception.
A weak human protected by its other selves in different timelines.
And that human seems to be trying... to tame it?
[Content Warnings]
1. The author likes all kinds of food. Although this novel has only a BL secondary pairing, with limited page time, not all the characters are same-sex oriented or of the same gender.
2. The top and bottom are not evenly matched in ability. This is a serious drama, primarily told from the bottom's perspective.
3. This nonhuman is really nonhuman. Both protagonists have a few issues, mainly emotional ones, and there is a mildly coercive relationship dynamic from the top toward the bottom.
My take on a sci-fi Lovecraftian setting, written to indulge my tastes. I mainly wanted to enjoy a dominant bottom and a submissive top. Blurb revised and screenshotted on 2025/2/19.
I'll start this one once I've finished the previous novel and completed the outline. The full novel is already written.
Theme: Human curiosity can never be suppressed
