A Guide to Raising a Straight-Ahead Dragon-Proud Protagonist

Upcoming: The Villain Plays the Good Brother and Fucks the Dragon-Pride Protagonist. Blurb at the very bottom~

Scheming, flashy silver-haired snake spirit x good-for-nothing straight-man dragon-pride protagonist

The thousand-year-old snake demon Yun Qi died in a lightning tribulation. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself attached to the golden finger of the dragon-pride protagonist in an urban cultivation novel. The bound System let him cultivate again, but in exchange, he had to complete the tasks it assigned.

Yun Qi looked at the first task before him: marry the dragon-pride male lead in a ghost marriage. He fell into deep thought.

Integrity is precious, but freedom is worth even more. If cultivation is at stake, both can be tossed aside!

So, shamelessly, he tricked the dragon-pride protagonist into marrying him in a ghost marriage and gained himself a husband.

No resources?

Go to the dragon-pride protagonist! Once they got the loot back, Yun Qi took the lion's share and the protagonist got the scraps, supposedly because the protagonist couldn't digest it all.

No magical treasures?

Go to the dragon-pride protagonist! After they got one back, Yun Qi would secretly sabotage it, cough up blood, and play the victim until the protagonist obediently handed it over.

No wife?

Oh, no, he actually had one. It was just that he'd sent all five of the dragon-pride protagonist's wives from the original novel off to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness.

Later, Yun Qi looked at Wen Zui, who had made a name for himself and become the sect leader.

He quietly came up behind the impeccably suited man, wrapped an arm around his slender waist, and pinned him against the floor-to-ceiling window.

His teasing words brushed Wen Zui's crimson ear:

"A-Zui... Are you ready to fulfill your duties as a wife?"

*

Wen Zui was an office drone, the kind who worked 996. He had no parents and no savings, a person with nothing to his name.

Perhaps fate had taken pity on him: he unexpectedly inherited something from a distant relative. There was no money, but there was a blue jade ring.

And its artifact spirit was a ridiculously handsome man!

With the artifact spirit's help, Wen Zui effortlessly embarked on a path of turning his life around and slapping faces. He kicked his idiotic boss and punched a useless rich second-generation heir, rising all the way to the pinnacle of life.

But... why had all the beautiful women around him gone off to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness?

Why had he become the artifact spirit's wife? And why was the spirit clinging to him every day, demanding that he fulfill his duties as a wife?

Nooooo!!!!!!

Yun Qi tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled. "You want it that badly? All right, wife."

Upcoming: The Villain Plays the Good Brother and Fucks the Dragon-Pride Protagonist

In his previous life, Yi Huaili was the mastermind behind the male-oriented novel Starbound Journey. Rumor had it that he was hideously ugly, cruel, uninterested in women, and loved nothing more than removing people's organs with his own hands.

But nobody knew that he actually had the harmless, classic second-male-lead face. Even less did anyone know that he was a closeted gay man with deeply repressed desires.

*

He'd died a ridiculous, humiliating death in his previous life. Yi Huaili closed his eyes in resentment, only for a newly appointed rookie System to mistakenly send him back to Starbound Journey, where he was assigned to play the male lead Jiang Mu's good brother.

When he opened his eyes again, the very culprit who had killed him was clutching him with delight, serving him food and water, and even helping him use the bathroom.

Yi Huaili gave a faint smile, thinking of the perfect way to get revenge.

*

Good Brother System: "Host! The male lead is trapped in an alley and has been drugged with an aphrodisiac. Hurry and take the female lead to save him! Once you earn enough points, you can come back to life!"

Yi Huaili smiled faintly. "Sure."

The male lead did need saving. Yi Huaili left his room and went out, then turned around, put on a mask, climbed in through the window, and raped the dragon-pride male lead.

Watching the usually composed, handsome man beneath him weep, his face now alluring and sensual, his clothes in disarray, Yi Huaili felt a tingling thrill all the way to his scalp.

Fuck! If only he'd done this to him in his previous life!

The Good Brother System stared at the completed task displayed before it, feeling its entire worldview explode.

*

Jiang Mu had been an utterly ordinary college student on Earth. One day, he transmigrated to an interstellar world and became an undocumented resident of a slum. He worked his way up by collecting scrap until he reached the top military academy on the capital planet, where he met his good brother, Yi Huaili.

Jiang Mu was working at a bar when a rich second-generation heir who had long hated him slipped him an aphrodisiac.

Dazed and confused, he saw his good brother come to save him.

He spent the whole night in a vivid, sensual dream. The next morning, when Jiang Mu opened his eyes, his good brother was standing at the door and whistled at him. "A-Mu, you and your sister-in-law really went wild last night, huh? Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Jiang Mu's head was pounding and his whole body ached. When he got up, something dripped out of his backside.

Even worse, when he opened his terminal, he found explicit photos of himself in his inbox.

"Did you enjoy last night?"

[Extra Scene]

During the day, Yi Huaili diligently fussed over the dragon-pride protagonist, bringing him tea and water, sending him money, and playing the role of his good brother.

At night, he'd put on a mask and fuck the dragon-pride protagonist.

"Does it feel good?"

Jiang Mu's eyes were red as he struggled desperately. "Ah... Let go of me!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. You wouldn't want your good brother to hear, would you?"
