Cross-Dressing to Seduce My Archenemy Backfires

Up next, the new novel: After the Laid-Off Incubus Crashes into the Straight Guys' Dorm

Song Jinye is handsome and comes from a good family. He grew up the center of everyone's attention, with countless admirers at school.

But his sworn enemy, Fu Mingchen, refuses to fall for his charms.

They openly target and mock each other. They've been at it for three years, always at each other's throats whenever they meet. Getting into fights and ending up in the hospital is practically routine.

At a drinking game, Song Jinye is pushed into making a high-stakes bet:

Make Fu Mingchen fall for him, then dump him hard.

He creates a new account that night, takes a coy selfie in the mirror, and types:

[Big brother, am I cute? Want to date?]

He thinks it'll be a prank, but Fu Mingchen replies at once: [Sure.]

For half a month, they date online. Fu Mingchen sends him good-morning and good-night messages and keeps him updated on everything, being so gentle that he hardly seems like the same sworn enemy.

Song Jinye has the time of his life, until the night they meet in person, when he's pinned to a hotel bed and thoroughly taken.

Afterward, he kicks Fu Mingchen, but Fu Mingchen grabs his leg and starts kissing it, his wet, soft tongue sweeping over Song Jinye's calf. Terrified, Song Jinye flees.

Fu Mingchen is the sole heir to the Fu family, born into privilege, and Song Jinye has always been the only person in his heart.

He'd assumed that someone as beautiful as Song Jinye would present as an Omega. He never expected him to become an Alpha just like himself.

A new online girlfriend suddenly appears. She's sweet and pretty, and her features look about sixty percent like Song Jinye's. Fu Mingchen suspects her at first glance, but willingly plays along.

After a car accident, Fu Mingchen wakes from a coma to find his pinned girlfriend gone. All he has is a curt breakup text:

[Jinjin: It didn't fit, and it hurt too much. Let's break up.]

Later, Song Jinye visits him in the hospital out of obligation. The moment he enters the room, Fu Mingchen grabs his wrist tightly.

With a dazed look in his eyes, the man calls to him hoarsely and clingily, "Jinjin, darling, where are you going? Are you leaving me?"

Song Jinye shudders with revulsion and snaps, "Who's your darling?"

He thought his secret identity was perfectly concealed, but before long, Fu Mingchen corners him on the rooftop and pins him to the wall, kissing him with abandon.

Song Jinye shoves him away, furiously wiping his lips with the back of his hand. "Fu Mingchen, if a rabid dog bit you, go get a rabies shot!"

"Song Jinye, you think you can sleep with me and run? Not a chance."

Fu Mingchen's words make Song Jinye freeze. Panic wells up inside him as he realizes his secret identity has been completely exposed.

He instinctively retreats, but Fu Mingchen advances step by step, lightly rubbing the gland at the back of his neck. His tone carries a hint of confusion. "The temporary mark I gave you last time faded so quickly?"

"What temporary mark?" Song Jinye is utterly bewildered.

"I'm an Enigma." Fu Mingchen leans closer, his voice low and seductive. "Song Jinye, didn't you notice last time?"

An Enigma is a rare secondary gender capable of permanently marking an Alpha.

Song Jinye's mind short-circuits. He trembles uncontrollably, and the next moment Fu Mingchen has pulled him into his arms, gripping him tightly around the waist.

The man bends down and lightly bites through Song Jinye's delicate gland with his canine teeth. A strong fruity wine scent instantly floods his body, mingling and entwining with his own pheromones.

Fu Mingchen presses close to his burning ear and gently soothes him. "Don't shake."

A beautiful, easygoing, quick-witted bottom * a scheming, loyal-dog, fake-good-guy, jealous top

Reading tips:

* The bottom disguises himself as a woman and pretends to be an Omega. This takes up a lot of the early chapters. The top suspects the bottom's secret identity very early on.

* There is a secondary couple, an Alpha-Beta romance, making up no more than 30% of the story.

* There is an amnesia plot, with real and fake amnesia and truths tangled up with lies.

* This story has no real-life inspirations. Any similarities are purely coincidental.

Wen Zhi was an incubus, but made a mistake during his internship and was forced out of the job.

When he opened his eyes again, he'd transmigrated into a dark, bloody novel as a transparent nobody who wouldn't survive past chapter three.

A mechanical voice sounded in his ear:

[Host's life signs are critical. The "Harmony and Happiness System" has been activated.]

[Mission: Prevent violent incidents and raise the protagonist group's happiness to 100%. Success will allow you to be reborn; failure means death.]

Wen Zhi: "?"

He looked down at his delicate, fragile body that would topple at the slightest push, then at the character descriptions of the protagonist group.

Dark and domineering, sinister and cunning, vindictive, bloodthirsty and ruthless, volatile... Not a single positive adjective among them.

The plot of the book consisted of one fight after another. Every page was filled with the word "brutality."

And now the System wanted him to make this pack of wolves and tigers happy?

To make matters worse, the incubus tattoo on his waist suddenly began to burn. He was hungry.

Wen Zhi quietly clenched the hem of his clothes, despair written in his beautiful, almond-shaped eyes.

The moment he looked at his roommates, his eyes turned into hearts, and drool spilled helplessly from his mouth.

"Mint ice cream, citrus soda, grilled lamb skewers, milk caramel pudding... They're all my favorites!"

His roommates respond to his attempts to get close with vicious snarls:

"If you don't want to die, get lost. I don't like men."

"Stay away. You're bad luck."

Wen Zhi holds dry bread in his hands and drinks bland water as he watches the fragrant meals he can't eat. His eyes turn red with hurt.

But the System keeps issuing new missions:

[Prepare breakfast for your roommates to raise their happiness.]

[Organize a dorm outing to promote social harmony.]

[Warning! The protagonist group is fighting. Go stop them immediately.]

Wen Zhi's legs tremble.

He is a newly laid-off incubus who can't fight and has only half-mastered his charms. Now he has to stop these lunatics who wouldn't blink at killing someone?

He runs in a panic to the sports field, squeezes his eyes shut, and cries, "Stop! Please stop fighting! We're all friends! We should love one another!"

Later, after he maxes out their happiness and is about to claim his rebirth reward, his roommates corner him against a wall and demand, "What are you, anyway?"

"An incubus... The kind that feeds on people's life essence."

After three seconds of silence, they all speak at once:

"Then feed on me."

"Feed on mine."

"Why should you get to be the one he feeds on?"

Wen Zhi: What? Why are they fighting again?

[Warning! The protagonist group's happiness has dropped by 99%. The world is about to collapse! Host, resolve the dispute over "who gets eaten first" immediately!]

Wen Zhi freezes in terror, silently wailing inside.

System, you lied to me! How is this supposed to be harmonious?

He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and says, "Stop arguing. All of you, together."

"Are you happy?"

"I am. With you here, I'm happy."
