Ruan Lixue has a secret.
Everyone thinks she's quiet and shy, but online, she's chatting with eight men.
“Baby” to one, “darling” to another.
It's all so thrilling.
The men are pretty great, too.
They just tend to send strange gifts, like octopus teeth, shimmering fish scales, and an absurd amount of spider silk.
But those little flaws don't spoil a happy life.
Until the apocalypse arrives.
Ordinary girl Ruan Lixue is holed up at home, trying to survive on her own.
One rainy night, a sudden knock sounds at the door. She cautiously peeks outside, and a handsome young man flashes her a big, toothy grin.
“Xiaoxue, it's me.”
“The Lord of the Moonlit Desert, remember?”
“Six days ago, you were calling me baby and saying I was your sweet little honey.”
Oh.
He's one of the guys she'd been chatting with online...

The sealed evil gods have fallen in love with a girl.
They desperately take human form, hiding their tentacles and beastly fangs, so they can meet her looking their very best.
She's just as they'd imagined: pretty and delicate, innocent and adorable.
They love her so, so, so much.
They want to be with her forever.
Eat her, eat her, eat her.
Wait.
Why are so many of their kind around her?!
Those wretches must be trying to seduce their wife. They're trying to steal her away. They're homewreckers.
Kill them, kill them, kill them.

With her computer shut, Ruan Lixue is a very shy girl.
She's also a little kindhearted.
When the men start fighting, each of them getting beaten until they suffer brain hemorrhages, her kindheartedness kicks in.
She decides to go explain things.
Through the crack in the door, she sees a refined man grow thick, black tentacles, and a handsome young man sprout eight walking legs...
They say,
“She belongs to me.”
“I'm the only one who gets to eat her.”
Ruan Lixue: [Mouse-like shriek] Aaaah!!!
