I Bought My Nemesis’s Old Lover

Cruel, two-faced top x amnesiac, loyal dog-like bottom (actually a crazed pragmatist who puts self-interest first) Chu Yanyi (Alpha) x Ying Yu (Alpha) Main story complete. Occasional revisions, with extra chapters posted from time to time. After Chu Yanyi returned from the black market on desolate planet Alpha, he had an Alpha by his side. He said it was a little toy he had bought at the slave market. The Alpha couldn’t speak. He was soft-skinned and delicate-looking, always considerate in every way, yet constantly covered in bruises. Others teased Chu Yanyi for not knowing how to treat a beauty gently. Only a few were shocked: this Alpha looked exactly like the kept lover Ying Yu had once had. “I think he’s rather interesting, too.” Chu Yanyi lifted the Alpha’s chin with casual indifference. “Ying Yu had good taste.” Who didn’t know that Chu Yanyi and Ying Yu had fought for years, each hating the other to the bone? Rumor had it that Chu Yanyi had the backing of a powerful figure in the Imperial military. After Ying Yu died in a fire, no one dared make trouble for him anymore. Chu Yanyi truly loathed Ying Yu. Even though the man was dead, he still treated Ying Yu’s lover this way. But this little toy had such a pretty face and was so well-behaved and obedient. Chu Yanyi found that looking at him was rather soothing. If Ying Yu could keep him, then keeping him for the rest of his own life was no big deal. Except this so-called white moonlight had a hidden identity... Little One had no name, only a number from the slave market. Only after Mr. Chu bought him did Little One get a name. Some said he had degraded himself, an Alpha submitting to another Alpha. But Little One thought Mr. Chu was the person who had saved him from that den of wolves and tigers. He ought to be loyal to Mr. Chu, loyal to his master. As for what happened in private, Little One didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. One day, Mr. Chu treated him especially well and asked, “Do you still remember Ying Yu? How about we go reclaim his inheritance?” It was only when they arrived at Ying Yu’s home that he remembered who he really was. Chu Yanyi had truly stopped at nothing to get revenge on him. “I still prefer you in bed. Do you remember? You’d cry and bite me at the same time. I couldn’t tell whether you wanted it or not.” Chu Yanyi smiled at him gently. Normally, that smile would have made him so excited he’d wag his tail and beg. Now, he pressed a gun to Chu Yanyi’s chest, unable to utter a single word. Chu Yanyi calmly took hold of his trembling wrist and adjusted its position for him. “Ying Yu, you have two choices: stay by my side, or kill me right now.” That night, a gunshot rang through the Ying residence. Content warnings: 1. An Alpha x Alpha romance. Neither the top nor the bottom is wholly a good person. Both have personality flaws and moral failings, and this is an unhealthy relationship. To be clear, neither of them is a good person. Neither of them is a good person. Neither of them is a good person. 2. It’s melodramatic, extremely melodramatic, and very melodramatic. They love and try to kill each other. Their love is real, and so is their desire to kill. 3. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, but there is an imbalance of power between them early on. 4. It’s set in space, but there’s little focus on the setting. Here’s a melodramatic, fluffy story set in the same world: Woke Up Married to My Mortal Enemy Zhou Jingxi, a poor kid from desolate planet Beta, fought tooth and nail to survive. At last, thanks to his strength as an A-rank Alpha, he earned a place at the Empire’s top military academy! He thought the road ahead would be smooth sailing, but the moment he stepped onto campus, he ran into his natural enemy: Yan Mingyu, an Omega from the Empire’s old-money Yan family. Yan Mingyu was unruly and arrogant, throwing his weight around every day and constantly bringing up Zhou Jingxi’s background. He used his privileges to trip Zhou Jingxi up at every turn. When an instructor praised Zhou Jingxi’s outstanding mental strength in front of the entire year, Yan Mingyu immediately piped up. “Sir, in that case, shouldn’t we give him some extra training? He is an A-rank Alpha, after all.” When an Omega blushed and handed Zhou Jingxi a love letter, Yan Mingyu sneered and cut in. “That poor kid’s drowning in debt. How dare you go near him?” Zhou Jingxi wasn’t the sort to swallow his anger. He rolled up his sleeves right there and grabbed Yan Mingyu by the collar with a cold laugh. “So the so-called nobility can only play dirty with their words.” “What? You capable of killing me? You little ghetto brat.” The two squared off, neither willing to give an inch. Their instructor finally had enough and tossed the pair of troublemakers into solitary confinement together! It was Zhou Jingxi’s first disciplinary penalty. He wanted to strangle Yan Mingyu, who was sleeping soundly beside him. Given his relationship with Yan Mingyu, the best he could hope for was to be assigned to different military districts after graduation and never see each other again. But the morning after their first night in solitary, Zhou Jingxi opened his eyes to a horrifying sight. His usually pampered, arrogant nemesis, Yan Mingyu, was kneeling obediently by the bed, head lowered as he called him, “Hubby.” Zhou Jingxi: ???? What the hell? This dream was way too ridiculous! No way! He absolutely couldn’t let anyone find out! Zhou Jingxi could only try to get his memories back while keeping Yan Mingyu in the dark. But no matter how much he was provoked, he couldn’t remember a thing. He even decided this had to be his nemesis playing a prank on him. Then the Omega’s scorching skin suddenly brushed against the back of his neck, warm, urgent breaths trickling over his back. His once haughty nemesis now wrapped his arms around him from behind, impatient, his breathless words choked with tears as they clung to Zhou Jingxi’s ear. “General Zhou... don’t you care about your Omega anymore...?” “My sentence is almost over... Do you want to... give Xingxing a little brother or sister?” What?! He and Yan Mingyu even had a child together?! Content warnings: Both leads are sexually inexperienced, and neither is wholly a good person. It’s set in space, but there’s little focus on the setting, with a touch of melodrama. Here’s another planned story from a different infinite-flow world. Working title: The Cheating Husband Carefree, laid-back top x competitive, devoted-wife bottom Xu Ning x Ruan Ciqing In the seventh year of their happy marriage, Xu Lin ran into a career crisis. After humanity conquered the infinite-flow dungeons, dungeon designers emerged to create instances like gods. Xu Lin, a retired dungeon designer, had to return to work and save the dungeons as one instance after another disappeared. From then on, his late-night gaming livestreams were forced to become online training sessions to improve NPCs’ job skills. By day, he had to blend in with the players to gather feedback, and at home, he had to keep it all secret from his partner... After all, Ruan Ciqing was just an ordinary, kind-hearted and decent cram-school teacher who had no idea that dungeon worlds existed. He was nothing like those monsters and demons. Worst of all, every twisted trap Xu Lin designed was countered by that player the others called “Mentor.” He couldn’t meet his KPIs no matter what he did. Xu Lin, exhausted to the point of delirium, ground his teeth. “So you’re Mentor, huh? Just you wait until I find out who you are...” With no other choice, he went to his darling for hugs, kisses, and comfort. In the seventh year of his marriage to Xu Lin, Ruan Ciqing began to suspect that Xu Lin was cheating on him. Xu Lin was distracted every day and used his livestream as an excuse to stay up late. During the day, he’d sneak out while Ruan Ciqing was away, staring at his phone and looking guilty when he glanced over. “Sweetheart, I’m having dinner with a friend tonight, so I won’t be home!” Ruan Ciqing, holding breakfast, smiled and nodded. “All right. Try this porridge. Is it too salty?” Watching Xu Lin walk away, Ruan Ciqing untied his apron, picked up a knife, and strode out expressionlessly, his long legs carrying him forward as he took several “students” with him to slaughter their way through a few dungeons and vent his anger. That’s right. The famous “Mentor,” who dungeon designers hated with a passion and who had practically hacked his way through every dungeon world, was none other than the “kind and decent” cram-school teacher Ruan Ciqing. For some reason, though, dungeons had been updating faster and faster lately. The players were more engaged, but her husband’s divided attention was making him increasingly impatient. While working through dungeons, he nearly chopped every boss into mincemeat. Some returning game designer was keeping him from having time to sit down and talk properly with his husband. He’d better not run into this designer who had nothing better to do than torment players in the real world. A dungeon boss he’d dragged over for a heart-to-heart stared at him, trembling. “We’re all cut from the same cloth. Why make life hard for each other? We can talk this out.” Ruan Ciqing toyed with his long knife. “I think my husband’s cheating on me.” The boss covered his face. “The seven-year itch, huh? Easy, bro, get a divorce. You have to!” “But he’s still pretty good to me. And he bought the dog at home, so it would go to him in a divorce.” The boss ventured, “Then... just stay together?” Ruan Ciqing laid the knife against the boss’s neck. “But he doesn’t touch me anymore.” The boss burst into tears. “Then you really should get a divorce, bro.” Ruan Ciqing sighed. “Forget it. Being a game streamer isn’t easy for him. He has to stay up all night every day to keep his stream popular. He’s looked exhausted lately, and even all the pork rib soup I’ve stewed for him hasn’t helped.” Boss: “...” Boss: “Bro, why don’t you just kill me?” Ruan Ciqing said, “Oh,” and brought the knife down. “I can’t waste too much time. If I don’t get home soon, I won’t be able to make him dinner.” Just as Xu Lin was worrying himself sick over his KPIs, he suddenly noticed that one of the players he’d infiltrated was acting strangely. Why did this player, whom everyone respectfully called “Mentor,” smell a little like his gentle, capable darling, who usually thought even killing a fish was cruel? After finally leaving the dungeon, while he was still shaken, he suddenly heard someone ask, “Hubby, why are you so pale?” Xu Lin turned and saw his darling wearing an apron, holding a bowl of pork rib soup and looking at him with concern. Xu Lin shook his head and went to hug Ruan Ciqing. Before he could say anything, he noticed something strange against him. He looked down and saw a pitch-black, bloodstained knife tucked beneath his darling’s pure white apron. “...” Xu Ning looked up and met Ruan Ciqing’s gaze. Ruan Ciqing remained expressionless. “I just chopped your ribs.” “Why is there blood on it?!” “Hubby, I told you I just chopped your ribs. Try some. I think it’s a little bland.” “...” Content warnings: 1. In private, the top calls the bottom “wife,” “wifey,” and the like. In public, they refer to each other as their partner or husband. 2. It’s melodramatic, but there is no cheating or falling out of love. They’re both hopeless romantics. 3. Contains a small amount of infinite-flow content. 4. The bottom is a true devoted wife, and the top is truly laid-back. Theme: What you yearn for will eventually answer your call.
