Also known as A01 Test Subject

While still a university student, Bu Jingming got into a rare argument with his childhood sweetheart and lover, whom he had always been inseparable from. In a fit of anger, he signed up for a competition. One plane ticket put a thousand kilometers between them.

Then the apocalypse broke out. Every species on Earth was forced to undergo an "awakening of talents." Those who succeeded gained all kinds of special abilities, while those who failed became terrifying monsters devoid of reason.

After surviving a high fever by sheer luck, Bu Jingming thought, Something this huge has happened. I have to go back and find him!

Holding on to that conviction, Bu Jingming ignored everyone who tried to stop him and resolutely set off for the university they had attended. After spending months on the road, he finally arrived, only to be told that no one had seen Jiang Runian.

Why? Where had he gone? Bu Jingming tried to follow every lead. He risked his life again and again, making his way through monster-infested wilderness and visiting several places where survivors had gathered, yet he still could not find his lover. Bu Jingming's feelings shifted from worry and anxiety to an obsessive determination to find him, no matter what.

With the resolve to find him alive or dead, Bu Jingming endured five years without a single word and more than a thousand days and nights of arduous searching. At last, by chance, he found his lover in a highly classified laboratory.

His lover was inside a huge glass device, his eyes closed. Not a trace of the past five years had left its mark on him.

Bu Jingming risked his life to rescue him. Before he could even feel glad, he saw him wither and waste away like a plant deprived of nourishment, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When his lover awoke, the first thing he said upon seeing Bu Jingming was, "Jingming, why did you come looking for me?"

"So many years have passed. Why did you find me now?"

"I was... just about to give up on you."

Jiang Runian could no longer find the person he used to be. He only vaguely remembered Bu Jingming telling him that he was the sun, the sum of all the warmth and beauty in the world. So, that afternoon, when he had plunged into a dark corner and pulled Bu Jingming out, he had already fallen completely in love.

But the Jiang Runian of today, the Jiang Runian who had died countless times in the laboratory, had become a patch of dark, damp brambles. He denied the five years of steadfast devotion and the more than ten years of love they had shared. He had become mad, neurotic, and disgusted by everything he laid eyes on.

But why? Why did Bu Jingming still love him even when he was like this? Why could Bu Jingming keep a straight face after being stabbed by him, asking if he was feeling unwell or in a bad mood, and whether he wanted something sweet?

The five years between them held more than an insignificant beginning. They also held countless patches of black mud made of flesh and blood.

And all of it became nourishment, letting a bright red flower named Regret bloom in their hearts.

Bu Jingming x Jiang Runian. A reunion after a breakup that never truly happened, a story of two people saving each other.

*Reader's Guide:

1. Both are virgins, 1v1, with strong mutual feelings. They spent more than ten years together, and each has eyes only for the other.

Please don't be so hostile toward the shou. It's unreasonable to judge and accuse him after reading only the blurb and opening. I'm sorry, but the author can't accept that. You can say the writing isn't good enough, but neither protagonist did anything wrong.

Reasoned discussion only.

2. Thank you so much to everyone who likes this story and these two. I'm truly grateful. (Bows)

3. Thanks to my dear master, Yichuanzhou, for drawing the character designs! XOXOXOXO

Not Only Did I Transmigrate as an Alpha, I'm Married Too?

[Outwardly warm, inwardly cold, lonely and self-loathing gong x timid, weak shou with a resilient soul]

After working all night, Fu Yuzhi died suddenly at home, just as he had hoped. When he opened his eyes, however, he discovered that he had transmigrated, and an intelligent robot was fussing over him.

Fu Yuzhi: "What alpha...? Sorry, what did you just say?"

Robot: "I said your wife was being far too inconsiderate, not coming to pick you up and letting you walk home alone while drunk..."

Fu Yuzhi: "Wait, what? My wife?!"

Without the original owner's memories, Fu Yuzhi had to struggle to find his way back to the original owner's home. When he looked up, his gaze passed through the entryway and living room, landing on a beautiful omega with long, flowing hair. His breath caught.

Before Fu Yuzhi had a chance to fall for him, the omega's face filled with terror, and a heart-wrenching floral scent suddenly filled the air.

Fu Yuzhi realized that the moment the omega saw him, his first reaction was to turn and run. But instead, he came over and knelt obediently at Fu Yuzhi's feet, lowering his head. His long hair slid aside, revealing a scarred nape.

The omega said, "Welcome home."

Fu Yuzhi hated marriage, just as he hated his parents, who tormented each other and refused to divorce, even though they would rather die together.

But the omega clung to his pant leg, crying as he begged.

"...Please, don't take me to get a divorce..."

Fu Yuzhi couldn't make sense of it, but the omega looked so pitiful crying like that. Fine.

He had imagined that he could have any kind of relationship with the omega, as long as he was not his wife. But then a sudden heat ruined all his plans.

The situation spiraled out of control, and he instinctively put up walls around his heart. He stayed cold for a few days, hoping to return their relationship to how it had been. But one night, the omega came to his door with red-rimmed eyes and a small backpack in his hand. He wanted to kneel but held himself back, then asked if Fu Yuzhi would still hate him if he agreed to a divorce.

Fu Yuzhi looked at him, took his backpack and set it aside, then drew him into his arms with a sigh.

"...I don't hate you."

Fine. He could be his wife.

Before he knew it, Fu Yuzhi had been there longer and longer. He had never imagined that another person might truly become part of his life and interfere with it, yet he was more than happy to let it happen.
