World One: The Homophobic School Bully Gets Tangled Up with a Stalker’s Tentacles on Campus Xue Yunzhi x Wen Lian Xue Yunzhi is a big name at A University. Hot forum threads about him keep popping up, with hundreds of replies piling on. He’s icy, vicious in a fight, and handsome, but he’s never been in a relationship. His romantic history is a blank slate. Then one day, people suddenly notice something is off: at a basketball game, he wears a black T-shirt under his jersey for the first time; the red beauty mark at the corner of his eye looks more and more vivid; and his lips are suddenly bitten until they bleed during class… Suitors spring up like bamboo shoots after rain. Each one thinks he’s the lucky person who can win the heart of this aloof beauty, and they all try their hardest to woo him. But only Xue Yunzhi knows what’s really behind these strange changes. The ever-present tentacles, slick with moisture, crawl over his body. Their disgusting, sticky touch makes his skin crawl. Xue Yunzhi suddenly opens his eyes in the middle of the night, his fingertips digging in until they turn white. In the sports equipment room. The light is dim, and the air is thick with the choking smell of dust. The school bully, a man of few words and hard fists, pins the quiet, inconspicuous bookworm from school to the equipment without mercy. His ordinary black-rimmed glasses are flung to the floor, one arm broken and the frames smeared with grime. Xue Yunzhi grips him by the throat and grits out, “You’re the one behind all this, aren’t you?” The bookworm’s bangs are pushed aside, revealing a handsome, refined face. His pale, glass-like eyes stare obsessively at the person in front of him. After taking a punch, he licks the blood from the corner of his mouth and even tries to lick his way up the other’s slender, pale fingers. Countless tentacles stretch out from his body, waving excitedly as they climb up Xue Yunzhi’s legs. They thud against the floor, like an enthusiastic chorus of squeals and cheers. // World Two: An Unusual, Love-Obsessed Blind Husband in an ABO Novel, Whose Husband Has Been Possessed by a Transmigrator (AA Story) Su Xu x Huo Hui Su Xu is trapped in a disastrous marriage. It seems even the deepest affection can’t survive the seven-year itch. His once honest and reliable husband has made a name for himself, and now he’s fooling around behind Su Xu’s back. His mistress has even come to taunt him to his face. As Su Xu’s older brother, Su Ziming spends every day earnestly urging him to hurry up and get a divorce. Su Xu looks out at the world through his dull gray eyes, confused and uncomprehending. Why would he get a divorce? He just wants to kill his husband. That doesn’t mean he wants to leave him. * Su Xu notices that his husband has been acting strange lately, as if they were back in the early days of their passionate romance. But that doesn’t change the fact that Su Xu still wants to kill him. The alpha has shoulder-length hair and is gentle and considerate. He welcomes his husband home with affectionate questions and smiles, the corners of his eyes crinkling sweetly. He embraces his husband like any loving couple, but his right hand holds a knife, which he thrusts precisely into the chest of the person before him, piercing soft flesh. The man’s face turns deathly pale from blood loss, but he seems not to feel the pain. He takes Su Xu’s trembling hand, kisses the corner of his lips, and acts just like the taciturn, dependable man he used to be. “Don’t be afraid.” The next day, Su Xu knocks on his door of his own accord. When it opens, he spreads his arms and hugs him tightly, then slips a hand under his pajamas to feel his chest. The stab wound has scabbed over and stopped bleeding. The gentle smile fades from Su Xu’s face. He digs his fingernails into the scab again, warm blood running over his fingers. Without changing expression, he thinks, Next time, I’ll use poison. * Reader’s Guide: 1. No bed-weakness. 2. More details to come. A coming-soon blurb: "Survival Guide to the Restricted World", Thanks for adding it to your favorites~ Bai Yuanzhou is youthful and innocent. He’s never been in a relationship, not once, and then one day he transmigrates into an explicit novel as a minor character with barely any part in the story. Luckily, he’s bound to a System that can guide him. System: [The original novel’s top is devoted and wealthy. He’s been secretly in love with his unrequited love since they were students. But his beloved left the country to study, and his family is pressuring him to marry. While he’s down in the dumps, he meets you at a bar. Thinking you look a little like his beloved, he signs a sugar-baby agreement with you and enters into a sham marriage.] [When his beloved returns, they’ll hit it off, lose themselves in passion, and cheat on you behind your back, treating you like a prop in their bedroom games. Then he’ll cruelly dump you, the wicked male supporting character, and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks, achieving a happy ending.] Bai Yuanzhou, brimming with righteous indignation: That’s awful! System: [To avoid a deadly ending, the first thing you need to do is seduce the original novel’s top and become his sugar baby.] Bai Yuanzhou’s outrage deflates: …? * Following the System’s instructions, Bai Yuanzhou goes to the bar and enters a private room. The man swirling his drink is mature and sexy, his shirt unbuttoned at the collar to reveal a glimpse of his well-defined pecs. Bai Yuanzhou, dressed as a waiter, stiffly falls onto the man just like the System told him to and says in an affected voice, “Oh no, I’ve fallen.” The man dodges just in time, but still gets splashed with alcohol. He narrows his eyes. Just then, the waiter looks up, his pretty, delicate face flushed and his eyes brimming with tears. The man’s heart skips a beat. The waiter takes a deep breath, as if preparing to unleash some devastating move. Bai Yuanzhou goes all out. He pinches himself until his eyes well up, and a tear falls with every blink. He immediately makes up a sob story: a father with a gambling problem, a sick mother, a younger sister in school, and a life full of hardship. At the emotional climax, he asks with complete sincerity, “Will you keep me?” * After entering into a sham marriage with the original novel’s top, Bai Yuanzhou enjoys an easy life. His husband gives him plenty of money and rarely comes home. As soon as the unrequited love returns, Bai Yuanzhou follows the System’s survival guide to the letter. Every day, he tries to seduce his fake husband’s younger brother, then tries to seduce the beloved. His seduction techniques are terribly clumsy, but he and the System both think they’re brilliant. In the original novel, the fake husband and his beloved will get carried away at a class reunion, get carried away in the office, and even get carried away in their marital bed. Following the System’s instructions, Bai Yuanzhou secretly sneaks into each of their trysting places at just the right time, ready to give them a fright. He wickedly hopes it’ll make his fake husband lose his appetite for sex, but for some reason, he always arrives too late. He can’t understand why he keeps missing them when he’s following the System’s instructions exactly. Before he can figure it out, a hand suddenly pins him in place. His sham-marriage husband stares at him with red-rimmed eyes, his voice low and hoarse. He bites into the soft flesh of Bai Yuanzhou’s neck and grinds his teeth against it, but never dares to bite down hard. “Stop making eyes at other people, baby… I’m really going crazy.” The man’s jealousy and anguish, no longer held back, spill out. His steady, mature eyes fill with possessiveness as he stares at the young, beautiful man he’s been keeping. Bai Yuanzhou is stunned, and finally understands: This System’s guide is wrong!
