After the Late System Finds Him, the Male Lord Decides to Divorce

My new story is now live. Click the announcement link to go straight to the secondary pairing story, One Mind Set on Dying, Yet He Seduced the Zerg General. I’m publishing two stories at once this time. There’s also a light, sweet story in my column: I Stole a Gentle Husband Omega, Then Found Out I Was the Cuckold. Please support and save them! The main story has a bad ending, with the protagonists returning home. The bonus chapters have both an open ending and a happy ending. Both the main and secondary couples are sexually exclusive. To fulfill a promise to some readers, the bonus story is very long. The main story ends at chapter 63, which doesn’t affect the full-book subscription badge. Please support the official edition! There’s also a completed, redemptive Zerg story in my column, The Zerg: We Hold the Script for Salvation. If you’re looking for something to read, take a look. After an accident, Chu Ling arrives in a star-spanning society dominated by the Zerg. He’s lucky enough to be identified as an A-rank male Zerg. From then on, he has a car, a house, and money, and marries a noble female Zerg as his wife, taking his partner’s surname and stepping into the nobility. He goes from a poor boy to marrying into wealth and reaching the peak of his life as a person (or Zerg). Marriage and children come naturally. As a live-in son-in-law of the Winter family, he lands an easy job at Imperial University and becomes a lecturer in name only, known to every Zerg. His work is easy, he has plenty of money, his child is well-behaved, and his wife keeps rising through the ranks. Chu Ling can hardly claim that his life is bad. Seven years pass. One day, while preparing lessons in his office, he suddenly hears an excited electronic voice: Host, 001 has finally found you! The System, seven years late, pours out its grievances and explains his mission in one breath. He is supposed to help the mission target escape a fate of being abused and killed by a male Zerg. But the System made a mistake and sent him into the story before the plot began. The System is especially uneasy about its terrible blunder. The only reward for completing the mission is to send its Host safely home, with no other benefits. It’s afraid he won’t want to do the job now that his life is so comfortable. To its surprise, he agrees. * Lantes Winter, descendant of one of the four great noble houses, took just seven years to go from a pawn controlled by his family for a political marriage to the guardian general of Lankana. He is decorated with military honors and surrounded by glory. His only possible stain is the male Zerg he keeps hidden away. Rumor has it that he’s an A-rank commoner with an unknown background, poor character, and a face that’s merely passable. He’s thoroughly out of place among the rich and powerful nobility. In Lantes’s eyes, male Zerg are useless. If they can obediently keep to themselves, they might be a little less unpleasant. That’s why he personally chose his husband. He can give the man money and power, but love has never entered into his calculations. He never expected much, yet their marriage turned out to be better than he could have hoped. Their life together was unexpectedly happy and harmonious. Everything went according to his plan, and they resumed the fertility treatment he had interrupted. They would have a second and third child. But one cool, clear night, while Lantes was flushed and dazed, begging for affection, his husband suddenly asked him for a divorce. * When Chu Men learned that his seven-year marriage had been nothing but a complete deception, he took seven hours to get everything in order and mailed the military a signed divorce agreement. He agreed to the divorce and wanted nothing. All he wanted was to go home. There’s no particularly impressive golden finger. I just wanted to tell the story of an ordinary person. Character dynamic: resilient, kind, honest man VS scheming, calculating, sinister, ambitious man Personal worldbuilding: 1. Only nobles have surnames. Commoners have only given names. 2. Male Zerg are not physically frail. They’re merely useless because they’ve been spoiled. Only female soldiers have powerful physiques. The side effect of their strength and combat ability is a volatile mental sea, which requires the mental energy of male Zerg to soothe. 3. There are more male than female Zerg, but in my setting class matters more than gender. The hierarchy is noble male Zerg > noble female Zerg > commoner male Zerg > commoner female Zerg > undocumented Zerg. Important: Because of the rules, the male lead needs a foreign-sounding name. Chu Ling’s name in the Zerg world has been changed to Chu Men. A few friendly reminders: 1. This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality. Please don’t conflate it with the real world. 2. The story criticizes and resists unreasonable social structures and bad customs. The protagonists don’t approve of or promote using unjust social systems to persecute others. 3. The author doesn’t delete comments. If one disappears, it was removed by a moderator. Please keep discussions friendly and respectful. 4. Meeting here is fate. The first 70,000 words are free, so you can get a feel for my writing. This probably isn’t a wish-fulfillment story. If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself to keep reading. We read novels to have fun. 5. The story is outlined and has chapters written in advance. I’ve written a character biography for everyone. 6. “Main pursues” and “main is pursued” refer to the point of view the story favors. The author doesn’t take sides. Theme: Never lose sight of yourself
