Old-school Guide grandmaster gong x unruly, dark-skinned, well-endowed mad-dog shou
Beast tamer x beast. Half plot, half romance, slow burn
As the horns of a full-scale assault sounded behind him, Lin Zechuan, newly awakened as the world’s first Guide, finally smiled again. Amid deafening explosions, he slowly closed his eyes.
He had been ready to sleep forever in this strange world, but opened his eyes again on a frontier planet.
What? It’s three hundred years later?
Humanity has driven away the alien races and established an Alliance?
Fine, he can accept all that, but could someone please give back the abilities he worked so hard to gain?!
Lin Zechuan had only just awakened and hadn’t figured out what was going on when he was swept into the fighting on the border.
Trying to lead the refugees to safety, he collided with the wildest mad dog in the interstellar war zone.
“Rebels?”
Bloodstained combat boots planted themselves on Lin Zechuan’s lower back. Axel clamped a hand around his throat and shoved his face into the scorched earth.
“Well, this is interesting. You’ve got some nerve.”
This S-rank Sentinel was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and when he went mad, he didn’t care what happened to anyone, himself included.
At his weakest, Lin Zechuan was forced to face the madman again and again.
Having returned from an era when every life was precious, Lin Zechuan couldn’t abandon such a capable soldier.
But this madman named Axel was so reckless that even his enemy couldn’t stand to watch:
He used himself as bait to blow up battleships, and blocked the claws of alien beasts with his own body during extermination missions.
“You crazy bastard who doesn’t care if you live or die!” Lin Zechuan knocked the explosive device from the Sentinel’s hand.
But Axel twisted his wrist behind his back and pinned him in the rubble, his breath reeking of blood against Lin Zechuan’s ear.
“Mind your own business! Want to control me? Beat me first.”
They fought like beasts among the ruins, blood soaking the broken walls;
They faced off by the battleship’s airlock, grappling until they crashed through a porthole;
Then, in the middle of battle, Lin Zechuan regained the ability he had lost, and a massive mental storm wrapped itself tightly around Axel.
Later, Lin Zechuan realized that someone kept showing up beside him more and more often, and getting injured more and more frequently.
Lin Zechuan gripped Axel’s bleeding waist, his Guide pheromones involuntarily slipping beneath the torn fabric of the Sentinel’s uniform.
“I just want to save you, not sleep with you!”
But Axel licked the blood from his knuckles, shoved Lin Zechuan back into the cockpit of a mecha, and leaned in to bite his neck, panting with a smile.
“You said you wanted to save me. Why not see it through?”
To keep the madman in check and stop him from losing control and falling into madness, Lin Zechuan laid down a whole list of rules. Axel would only get his mental guidance if he followed them.
And so, wounds all over his body became secret marks beneath his clothes, while the unruly mad dog was leashed with reason.
After every treatment, the satisfied Sentinel would lick his canine tooth, demand compensation, and crash into Lin Zechuan’s arms.
“Let’s see how many rounds Commander Lin can last today.”
Everyone said the new rebel leader and the Alliance’s mad dog were bitter enemies.
But no one knew that late at night in the command room, the two celebrated stars of the military were kneeling on one knee, biting open the new leader’s belt.
“I accidentally wrecked the training ground again today...”
“Commander, what’s my punishment?”
Note:
1. Axel first appears in Chapter 5. The second major event starts around Chapter 20, and that’s when the couple begins to get a lot of scenes together. If you can’t wait, feel free to skip ahead and try a sample to see if it’s your cup of tea.
This is not an overpowered, feel-good story. The first event lays the groundwork for the world, and the story is a slow burn, suited to readers who enjoy a fully developed setting.
The protagonist doesn’t start out overwhelmingly powerful or at the top of the combat rankings. He has to recover and grow, and will make a full recovery in the middle to later stages.
2. The blurb may be revised, but the central premise won’t change. (Posted April 1, 2025; revised again April 28, 2026.)
3. This shares a setting with the other two Sentinel-Guide novels in my collection, and uses the same original concept for mental power compensation.
Mental power compensation:
When a Guide provides mental guidance to a Sentinel at high intensity or frequency, their mental power cannot replenish simply with the passage of time. This can cause mental depletion of varying severity, which can be relieved by compensation from a Sentinel. Mental compensation usually consists of various forms of pleasure the Guide experiences mentally, and can quickly and effectively restore their mental power.
4. I read all your comments and messages, but I won’t be replying to many of them from now on. I feel the comments section should be left mainly for readers to share their thoughts and discuss the story.
5. This story isn’t suitable for readers with extreme character preferences! The two leads have different histories and ways of getting along, and different kinks, but they are always equals in love.
---------------------The next novel will be the last in this shared setting, “The Scum Gong Takes the Top Spot, Then Crashes and Burns.” Please add it to your to-read list-----------------------
“Two-faced, self-serving beauty gong x sweet-faced, scheming, reborn shou”
As a transmigrator with “refined self-interest” encoded in his DNA, Lin Yuan has never lacked ambition or cunning.
Transmigrated by accident with no connections? Then he’ll climb the social ladder and change his identity.
In just three months, he’ll go from the slums to the highest echelons of the Alliance.
Lin Yuan smiled elegantly. He was one final stepping stone away from the pinnacle of success: finding himself a powerful patron.
He thought his chance hadn’t come yet, but then he discovered that the beauty he’d picked out for some casual fun was actually the Lu family’s heir apparent.
Lin Yuan promptly arranged a chance meeting, only to stumble upon Lu Cheng’s secret.
“The perfect heir to the Lu family actually tried to murder an Alliance major general, his own younger brother?”
Lin Yuan’s plan was flawless:
He was an adult, after all. He could have both a powerful position and a beauty.
He’d take the Tower’s high-ranking post and the great family’s resources, and enjoy the beauty’s charms to the fullest.
In the cramped control room, Lin Yuan smiled meaningfully. He ran a fingertip over the other man’s angry, reddened eyes, gripped his waist, and pressed between his knees. He whispered in Lu Cheng’s ear:
“Be nice to me if you want me to keep your secret.”
The Lu family’s cold, perfect heir suddenly had a fiancé from humble beginnings!
With a fatal secret in hand, Lin Yuan climbed the ranks with the Lu family at his back. He didn’t forget to indulge his kinks, either, gleefully making the most of his rights as a fiancé:
In public, he played the perfect partner. In private, he assigned Lu Cheng one humiliating task after another, watching him surrender and weep in his hands.
In a busy office, the solemn hall of a great family, beneath the curtains at a glittering banquet,
The beauty bit his lip, his legs trembling, leaving traces everywhere.
Lin Yuan smiled tenderly, enjoying it all. But as he watched the man trembling with barely contained restraint, he gradually realized that his own heart was beyond his control.
When everything was finally settled, Lin Yuan felt around for the last shred of his conscience and decided to let Lu Cheng go, and himself as well.
But the man kneeling before him lifted his deep-set eyes, crushed his gold-rimmed glasses in one hand, climbed onto Lin Yuan’s lap, and pinned him back into the commander’s chair.
“Only now you want to let go? It’s too late, Lin Yuan. You insisted on walking into my trap and turning my body into this. Don’t even think about running away alone!”
