Wilderness Survival with My Archenemy

Also known as After Surviving in the Wilderness, I Had a Child with My Nemesis. Complete, though the text may be revised from time to time. Thanks to everyone supporting the official release!

[Arrogant, pampered, slightly prickly bottom x golden-retriever, devoted, fatherly younger top]

Jiang Qizhi, the ruthless young master of the demonic cult, infamous in legend.

Gu Feihong, a noble and illustrious hero of the orthodox martial world.

Not only are they sworn rivals who start fighting at the slightest disagreement, they're also famous love rivals.

They were captured and taken to a deserted island by some strange thing calling itself the System, which ordered them to get pregnant or never leave.

They looked at each other for a moment, both wearing expressions of disgust and disdain.

Jiang Qizhi and Gu Feihong declared: Better to shatter like jade than to remain intact as a tile. So what if they had to survive in the wilderness?

Their plans sounded lovely, but reality was harsh. They soon discovered that the island was not only inhospitable, but there was no food to be found.

On the verge of starving to death, they accidentally discovered that simply holding hands made the System drop fresh fish, and a simple hug made it drop weapons. The items even kept dropping over and over.

They looked at each other for a moment.

Jiang Qizhi and Gu Feihong declared: What did it matter if they bent a little for a pittance? After all, they were both "fine, strapping men."

Of course, they held hands with pinched noses, hugged while fighting off their disgust, and kissing? Absolutely not!

Extra scene:

After a bout of nausea and vomiting in bed, Jiang Qizhi looked at his swollen belly and couldn't help throwing a pillow at Gu Feihong, who was sleeping soundly beside him. "Didn't you say you weren't into men?!"

Gu Feihong, woken for no reason early in the morning, simply picked up the pillow and put it back in his wife's hands. "Still mad? Want to hit me a few more times? Just don't hurt your hand."

Jiang Qizhi: "Get lost!"

Young master of the demonic cult bottom x orthodox hero top [both virgins]

Note:

The top and bottom only pretend to be love rivals. This isn't a purely sweet story. Their romance isn't angsty, but the plot is melodramatic, and the bottom goes through a low point in life. He's beautiful, strong, and tragic.

The extra scene is written to match the characters' personalities and won't appear in the main story.

My next novel will be The Sickly, Wicked Cannon-Fodder Is Always Caught in a Love Triangle [Quick Transmigration]. Please add it to your collections, everyone!

After Jiang Nian died, the System forced him to bind with it. His mission was to play the cannon-fodder obstacle standing in the way of the protagonist top and bottom falling in love in an old-fashioned melodramatic novel. He was not only sickly but short-lived, and had to experience death again and again.

If you don't perish in agony, you'll erupt in agony.

Jiang Nian erupted, and went mad. Since he couldn't have a good time, no one else was going to, either!

The System ordered Jiang Nian to beat and berate the protagonist top to spur him to work harder.

The frail cannon fodder staggered in, kicking every few steps and looking pitiful. He strode right into the protagonist's home and raised a hand to slap him, only to faint in his arms from sheer weakness. The protagonist top felt no pain, only a dizzying fragrance that muddled his thoughts.

The System ordered Jiang Nian to play the white lotus and sabotage the relationship between the top and bottom.

The sickly cannon fodder "accidentally" showed the gentle, sunny bottom the red marks on his body that looked like they came from a night of passion. With tears in his eyes, he said he'd fallen and hurt himself, and that it had nothing to do with the protagonist top. A deep, dark look immediately appeared in the protagonist bottom's eyes, taking him out of character.

At last, the protagonist top and bottom saw red. They fought over Jiang Nian, turned against each other, and came to blows.

The plot broke, the System went mad, and Jiang Nian smiled.

But when the protagonist bottom locked Jiang Nian in a little black room, Jiang Nian fell silent: Wasn't the protagonist bottom supposed to be the bottom? How could he still...

System: You brought this on yourself. Now you can deal with it.

Immersive Quick Transmigration:

World 1: The wicked, foolish beauty abandoned by his family

[System: The protagonist top is a gloomy, aloof prince. The protagonist bottom is a renowned, gentle scholar. They meet when they are both at their lowest, and even though you, the villain, repeatedly frame them, it will only bring them closer. In the end, they'll rule the realm together, and you'll die by their blades.]

But the plot went off the rails. The prince became the crown prince, and the scholar became a powerful noble. Jiang Nian, offered to the crown prince by his own family, should have been thrown into prison and tortured. Instead, he was kept in the Eastern Palace, tormented day after day and made into the crown prince's secret concubine.

Jiang Nian was frail, and the crown prince was too rough. His skin was often covered in bruises, and he would curl up alone in the dilapidated courtyard of the Eastern Palace.

One day, the scholar happened to enter the Eastern Palace and came across his former enemy, Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian cautiously loosened his collar to reveal a wide expanse of bruised skin, then pretended to stumble into the other man's arms. Clutching his sleeve, he whispered with tears in his eyes, "Will you take me away?"

One mustn't covet a friend's wife. Shen Xingzhou should have left, but the young lord's attempt at seduction was too clumsy, and he was far too beautiful. Shen Xingzhou stopped, his gaze falling on the fair skin revealed beneath the loose purple gauze.

Perhaps there was another way to collect payment for the master's past crimes.
