A Defective Product Coveted by an Alien Species

As the child of an alien species and a human, Jian Zhou suffered from genetic disorders and chronic illness.

He wandered through winters dozens of degrees below zero, clinging to life until adulthood, and was on the verge of death.

At death's door, he begged the leader of the alien species to save him.

Zero smiled gently. "All right."

"But what are you willing to give in return?"

Jian Zhou's ability to speak was impaired. He couldn't understand what Zero was saying, but he knew how to imitate others to please him.

He copied a line from an advertisement, his voice weak but determined. "I... I won't betray you..."

"Never."

"It's a promise."

The compound eyes hidden beneath a human face swiveled. The aliens wove an invisible web around the gravely ill young man.

"Come with me, good boy. I'll save you. And now..."

"You're mine."

Jian Zhou regretted it.

Because he had killed Zero with his own hands.

In Star Calendar Year XX, the aliens invaded human territory, devouring every star system along their route.

Their numbers were vast, and they could not be completely eradicated. The war would only truly end if Zero was killed.

J was a mysterious figure who provided humanity with crucial intelligence and turned the tide of the war. No one knew where he came from. He accepted the assassination mission.

Three days later, the star system where Zero was located was destroyed by antimatter annihilation, and J vanished without a trace. The war ended, and humanity won the final victory.

In the blink of an eye, four hundred years passed.

For all those four hundred years, Jian Zhou had the same nightmare over and over.

In the dream, Zero was covered in blood. He looked at the child he had personally raised, only for that child to bring about his death, and smiled with elegant composure:

"Jian Zhou, do you still remember your promise?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't. I'll come back and tell you myself."

Impossible. It was all over.

J had died in that war, and Jian Zhou, who survived, became an underground informant for the Royal Court.

Everything from the past was gone for good. Jian Zhou should enjoy his new life.

But the aliens would not let him go. The sound of their wings never ceased...

Newly hatched mutated aliens crawled out of their egg sacs. They had inherited Zero's memories and emotions, and were fiercely possessive of Jian Zhou.

An alien disguised as a human hugged him from behind and displayed its sharp appendages, threatening the other people who coveted him. "He's mine."

They tore open their disguises and pinned Jian Zhou against the wall, licking his tears and mumbling incoherently, "I like you... I want you..."

The aliens were obsessive and deranged. "Only by killing you can we have you."

Just before those mutated aliens killed him, someone came to his rescue. A voice more familiar than any other sounded beside his ear:

"Darling, I've killed those annoying aliens who were always clinging to you."

The resurrected Zero was tender and affectionate, his smile disturbingly sick. "I've saved you once again. Now, just like before, come home with me."

Jian Zhou: "..."

No.

Help.

A gentle-looking inhuman, obsessive yandere monster top × a beautiful, strong, tragic, fragile, sickly, slightly everyone-loves-him bottom

A dark story. They stab each other in the back and exchange arrows, but end up together.

Reader Advisory:

1. This is not an insectoid setting. This story is entirely fictional, so please don't draw parallels with reality.

2. The setting is an interstellar great expedition. Humans live for thousands of years. Please don't scrutinize the scientific details in the story, as most of them are made up.

3. The aliens look like insects enlarged countless times. The story contains detailed descriptions of some monsters' appearances, so it is tagged as horror.

4. The top uses computer programs to generate alien eggs and has no blood relation to the other aliens. The newest generation of aliens copied his emotions and memories and inherited his personality.

5. The top is a pure monster with no human morality and is very good at pretending. The bottom has a very hard life and suffers from PTSD, with detailed descriptions of the pain of being watched, but there is no emotional angst. He is adored by many without realizing it, but only has feelings for the top. Quite a few disposable alien characters pursue him, and there are scenes of forced intimacy.

6. Then those disposable characters die in various accidents.

7. The bad guys are punished in the ending, which is a relatively bright and heartwarming happy ending.

Finally, thank you for loving this story :)
