Alien Species Taming Manual (Non-Human)

Inhuman monster with no conscience X timid coward

1.

Cheng Molly is what her parents call a “leftover woman.”

She’s introverted, unremarkable, and works as a clerk at a small company.

At twenty-nine, pressured by her family, she married her current husband in a whirlwind wedding.

To be honest, her husband is handsome and generous with money. For an ordinary woman like her, it’s a pretty good deal.

But Molly feels something about her husband has changed since they got married.

His movements are unnaturally precise, his skin seems to feel no pain, and he always wears the same expressionless face in bed.

One night, she suddenly woke up and turned her head. Her husband was lying on his side behind her, eyes open, staring straight at her.

Her husband seemed unable to read the terror in her eyes, mistaking her ragged breathing for an invitation.

His cold hand slipped beneath her clothes. “Would you like to go again?”

The man asked in a completely flat voice.

…Was her husband really human?

2.

Sainos was the chief of a Tanlota Star intelligence agency.

It lost a bitter power struggle over the Tree Core, a defeat brought on by its own ambition.

As punishment, it was temporarily exiled to Earth, a planet with a civilization below Level One, to investigate its intelligent life forms.

It was bored. To ensure a smooth return once its assignment was complete, Sainos disguised itself as a human man and went through the motions of taking a wife.

“Wife” meant partner. Its partner was of low social standing and had no research value.

Yet its work logs gradually devoted more and more entries to “wife.”

[Observation sample W026. Status changed to wife. Wife is physiologically fragile.]

[Wife is human, female, carbon-based life. Limbs are slender. Mouth is pink. Body is soft, but must not be stretched, bent, or squeezed excessively. Do not apply more than 6 newtons of force.]

[Human mating is boring. First attempt failed. The reproductive and excretory openings are close together, so I confused them. Wife was very angry. Wife dislikes my expression.]

[Correction: tears do not always indicate pain.]

[Wife often asks for sex. She is addicted to it.]

[Wife has discovered my identity.]

[Wife said she wants to separate from me. I refused. An unknown new partner would affect the stability of the experiment and impede completion of the mission. I want her to cooperate. Wife resisted, so I revealed my true form to calm her.]

[I used my true form during sex. Wife happily cried.]

[Another human male, M076, has fallen in love with wife.]

[Wife does not need to go out. I can feed and bathe her.]

[Wife escaped. Why did you leave me, Molly?]

[M076 stole her. I found traces of biological residue left behind by that bastard.]

…

[Molly says she doesn’t love me. I don’t need love. I need Molly.]

Reader advisory:

1. My take on a kindhearted heroine: a soft, curvy wife. She’s timid, but if pushed too far, she’ll fly into a red-eyed rage. See the author’s note in Chapter One for detailed content warnings.

2. The male lead is entirely nonhuman, with no concept of love or morality. He’s an alien species wearing human skin, with a strong uncanny-valley quality. His true form is not humanoid.

3. This is a purely depraved indulgence, written for the pleasure of watching a nasty nonhuman torment a poor wife.

Theme: Love is a universal law.
