A Hundred Ways for a Scum Top to Win Back His Wife

Yan Qi rose from the bottom of a garbage planet to become a powerful figure in the underground world of the Imperial Capital. A smile was always on his face, but beneath it lay a shrewd and calculating mind.

With a heart of black, he used love as bait to seize the fruits of status and power. After losing the one he loved, he crippled his own forces and searched everywhere for Lan Cheng.

One day, the empire’s Third Prince brought him news of his beloved.

If it meant finding him, Yan Qi didn’t mind being recruited by the imperial family. He was prepared to become their black-gloved enforcer.

But when he arrived, he discovered that the Third Prince was also there to win back his lover. The prince’s Omega was living with Lan Cheng, and the prince’s vile conduct was every bit as bad as Yan Qi’s own.

Yan Qi had a thought. As the saying goes, better a friend die than me. Dear, don’t blame me for being no better than others. There are plenty worse than me.

Wasn’t the Third Prince the perfect stepping stone?

Yan Qi saw a glimmer of hope on his journey to win back his beloved...

Short Scene 1

As the other scumbag top, the Third Prince, stood his ground and refused to back down while facing his lover...

Yan Qi seized the opening and said, “If you’ve done wrong, admit it. If you regret it, change. A-Cheng, don’t worry. I’ll never pick up the nobles’ arrogant habits.”

Lan Cheng, humoring him: “Yeah, yeah, sure. You’re doing great.”

The Third Prince, who thought he’d found an ally but had actually found an assassin: ... (one thousand words of profanity omitted)

Short Scene 2

During his rut, Yan Qi locked himself in a room, but the other end of the chain around his wrist was fastened to Lan Cheng outside the door.

Lan Cheng: “You could just lock yourself in with the steel door. Why chain me up too? What’s that supposed to solve? Are you sick or something?”

Yan Qi: “Cut me some slack. You staying put is the best suppressant I could ask for.”

Tormented again and again by pain and pleasure, Yan Qi tossed away the key and the unopened suppressant...

… Upcoming story, After the Brooding Top Sees the Future. Please add it to your reading list…

Born in the gutter, they know only how to tread a dark path. So they invade, they seize, they scheme, and in their reckless abandon, they lose the people they love most, spending the rest of their lives in regret.

If they saw the person’s resolute departure and their own desolate solitude before it was too late to make amends, perhaps they would change their ways... right?

As if! The vile don’t know how to let go. They only know how to fight for what they want, using dark love, restrained tenderness, and feigned generosity to cloud that person’s eyes and make him stay willingly, sinking into ruin together.

[Episode 1: Director Top × Star Bottom]

The camera slowly sweeps across the star, whose performance is flawless and whose brilliance is dazzling.

He is born to be the lead, making the man behind the camera unable to look away.

Framing the star’s every joy and sorrow through the lens is no longer enough. He wants to build a castle and make this person the star of his world alone.

Desire surges in his heart. Just as he is about to act, he sees the future: in the enormous castle, empty and desolate, darkness swallows him whole...

If the castle can’t keep him, then what about a shining career under the spotlight?

[Episode 2: School Bully Top × Class Monitor Bottom]

Earn money, fight, sleep. No one is allowed near him in his numb, monotonous life.

But one person insists on approaching him, cheerfully bringing warmth and care in the name of his duties as class monitor.

Light cannot brighten a gutter. It will only be crushed by it.

He would rather see the class monitor cry than see his smiling face, his beautiful eyes brimming with tears as he begs, unable to hold back.

Just as he prepares to stain the pure white black, he sees the future: there is no trace of him in those dim eyes. He has succeeded in pushing everyone away, including himself...

If the class monitor likes to smile, then, since he’s so pathetic, please smile only for him.

[Episode 3: War Machine Alpha × Alpha-Passing Colonel Omega]

He is a war machine created by the union of two SSS-rank members of the empire, an Alpha and an Omega. Made solely for killing and destruction, he was forced to leave the battlefield after his mental power was damaged in a battle.

The colonel is an SSS-rank Omega assigned to him by the empire, and was once his subordinate. That fresh amberwood pheromone is damn alluring, and damn disgusting too. But since he came here of his own accord, he must be ready to be used.

After releasing his savage pheromones to his heart’s content, he sees the future: even as his body is shattered, he still cannot grasp that cold hand. The heart-rending pain connects the future to the present...

If he pretends to be gentle and considerate, could he win this person’s heart, so that his world and his loyalty belong to him alone?

[Episode 4: Fallen-Demon Junior Disciple × Gentle Senior Disciple]

Half-demon, half-immortal, neither demon nor immortal. There is no place for him on either side, but he doesn’t care. He will use his strength to make those ants face reality.

But his senior disciple is different. Though he clearly defeated him, the ants still gather around his senior.

Jealousy and inexplicable feelings take root in his heart. He wants to drag the gentleman, as pure as the moon reflected in an ice bowl, into the abyss, making him submit at his feet when he has no one left to turn to.

As he gently strokes his senior’s sleeping face, a vision of the future appears in his mind. His senior, who would rather shatter like jade than survive as a tile, is covered in mud but still protects his heart of the Way, refusing to join the demons...

The demonic path won’t work. What about the immortal path? If he becomes the sect leader, could he use the greater good as an excuse to demand everything from his senior, including his body and his heart?
