Conquering the Sea Serpent

[Scheming, well-behaved seme x strong, tragic, powerful uke] [Mackenzie wolf x Belcher sea snake]

[A warm, slightly bumpy tale of raising a child] and [a thrilling, turbulent rise to power through bloody fights]

At first, Qi Chi was just an assassin with a net worth of zero, living a life of slacking off at work and collapsing on the couch when he got home.

At last, a job came in. Qi Chi successfully captured the target...’s child.

He made a spectacular mess of it.

Well, all things are hard at the start. As Qi Chi was forced to take care of a kid, he also made his own little moves behind his boss’s back.

Outsiders all thought Qi Chi was on track to lie around for the rest of his life, but Qi Chi knew he was deeply dissatisfied and more than capable of causing trouble.

Later, Qi Chi climbed higher and higher, but his instincts told him not to celebrate too soon.

Lu Yu, the fine young man Qi Chi had raised to be well-behaved and considerate, often gazed at his guardian with admiration and still loved curling up in Qi Chi’s arms to act spoiled, just like he had as a child. This made Qi Chi forget that, deep down, the kid was a wolf who would devour people without even spitting out the bones.

Qi Chi: I made Lu Yu get up early to study. Will he resent me?

Lu Yu, whose eyes curved as he smiled after skipping class to assassinate the bad guy A who had harassed Qi Chi: Uncle wants Yu Yu to go to school, so Yu Yu will study hard.

Qi Chi: Wolves are social animals. Should I find Lu Yu some companions?

Lu Yu, looking pitiful after snooping on Qi Chi’s schedule, social circle, and contacts: Yu Yu is a social phobe. Uncle is all I need.

Their clear-eyed friend shouted in despair from the sidelines: Enough! You two are so weird!

[Reader’s guide]

1. A modern alternate-world beastfolk setting. No characters are based on real people.

2. Both leads are powerful and sexually exclusive to each other, and the pairing is locked in. No switching, reversing, substituting, or shipping them with others.

3. “Uncle” is just a catchphrase. The uke is not old at all, and there’s a ten-year age gap.

4. The overall tone is wild and ridiculous. Enjoy the story!

Theme: There will always be people who love each other in this world
