*A handsome-on-the-outside, twisted-on-the-inside gong x a two-faced, foul-mouthed tentacle monster shou
Gong Qi despises Bai Xiao, who comes from a less prestigious background yet outshines him at every turn.
They get into the same prestigious university, where Bai Xiao always beats him to the top spot in their GPA rankings.
After graduation, Gong Qi runs into Bai Xiao again while gaining experience at a subsidiary of a corporate conglomerate, and Bai Xiao always manages to find better investors than he does.
If he can't even surpass Bai Xiao, how is he supposed to beat out his eighteen siblings?
*
By day, he and Bai Xiao are bitter rivals. By night, he silently follows Bai Xiao around, tailing him and listening in on his secrets.
Until one day, he overhears Bai Xiao talking to someone else.
"Gong Qi?" Bai Xiao says with a smile, in his usual languid tone. "I haven't paid much attention to him. If I had to say what I think of him... He's like a stray cat. Sometimes he hisses at me. It's kind of cute."
That very night, Gong Qi stabs Bai Xiao straight through.
The next day, he shows up at work as usual, only to come face-to-face with someone who absolutely should not be there.
Bai Xiao is completely unharmed and looks just the same as always. He beams at Gong Qi. "Good morning, Gong Qi."
*
Gong Qi has no choice but to force himself to calm down and think:
If I couldn't kill him the first time, I'll just have to kill him again.
Once, twice, three times... ninety-eight times.
On the ninety-ninth stab, Bai Xiao, lying in a pool of blood, grabs his knife-wielding wrist and says lightly, "You've killed me 99 times already. How about taking a break and going out with me first?"
*
Bai Xiao has two secrets.
First, he's a tentacle monster with sixteen tentacles.
Second, he desperately needs the desires of depraved humans to serve as a breeding ground for his little tentacle monsters.
And when Gong Qi first stabbed straight through the body Bai Xiao used to disguise himself as a human, Bai Xiao thought:
I've finally found the perfect breeding ground.
P.S.
1. The gong gives birth to little tentacle monsters by C-section and coughs up the severed remains of little tentacles. No role reversal.
2. The gong is both beautiful and handsome, with a more masculine look.
3. A twisted love story, 1v1, with a big, bold HE.
