Goofy, down-to-earth, straightforward bottom x scheming, possessive top
Chi Yi transmigrated into an explicit interstellar male-male romance novel with a forced-confinement plot.
The good news: as a straight man, he doesn't have to get involved in a gay relationship.
The bad news: he's a cannon-fodder thug, and will probably be killed off after about a chapter.
Cannon-fodder thugs usually don't have much power. They typically appear when they take a fancy to the protagonist bottom, get overcome by lust, and plot to rape him. The assault fails, the protagonist top arrives just in time to save him, and the thug meets a grisly end.
In a glitzy entertainment venue, a breeding ground for sin, Chi Yi finds himself face-to-face with the drunken protagonist bottom.
Chi Yi: (despairing expression)
With disaster at the door and nothing left to do, first things first: have a drink.
The Imperial Marshal frowned. He had received word and come to the biggest nightclub in the empire's lawless gray zone to catch someone in the act.
"Explain. Where did he go?" he asked his adjutant, in a room decorated for a classroom role-play.
The adjutant did his best to study the writing on the blackboard prop used for the role-play: "…"
"Professor Shen and Young Master Chi seem to be having a lively discussion about population growth and insufficient food supplies. They've proposed initial ideas such as cultivating uninhabited planets and 'military base retirement farming'..."
The two were getting along splendidly.
Young Master Chi gave away his entire fortune, applied through Professor Shen for ownership of an abandoned planet, designation 08-3499, and booked a ticket on a curvature-drive shuttle that same night.
.
After escaping the emotional entanglements of the gay men, Chi Yi began cultivating the abandoned planet and building a home.
Watching the fields of wheat, vegetable plots, orchards, and pastures grow, he felt a deep sense of accomplishment.
Everything was proceeding smoothly toward his dream home, but Chi Yi still felt that the house was empty.
One day, the straight man started thinking about finding himself a wife, then having two kids in three years. He sincerely asked the handsome, mysterious man he'd found in the fields for advice.
The mysterious man, secretly the emperor of the empire: "The women of the Kangle Empire receive a good education and generally have high standards." (smiles)
"Why not try another approach? Why couldn't I be the one?"
