After the Hated Incubus Dies, the Powerhouses Go Mad

The succubus everyone despised could finally die. After death, he became everyone’s favorite.

[An old-school, melodramatic angst novel, with three scum suitors in a battle for his affection and a groveling redemption arc.]

A low-level succubus like Lin Jin could only become plaything in an underground den, unable to live or die. His only wish was that he had never been born.

Song Lin, humanity's most powerful ability user, a man with immense influence, entered the underground palace and told him he would never have to kneel again. Later, he made him kneel before his new master.

Yin Mo, the greedy and cruel black dragon who controlled the black market, held him as they slept atop a mountain of treasure night after night. Later, he cast him aside like rubbish and let others humiliate him in public.

Feng Yao, the pure and noble head of the true phoenix clan, stayed by his side through a stormy night. Later, he extracted Lin Jin's life flame and abandoned him in the wilderness, where he endured a day and a night of torrential rain and nearly died.

Yet Lin Jin never forgot that he was a pet. He not only accepted every humiliation willingly, but seemed to grow more radiant with each one, as if he had transformed from withered grass into a blooming flower.

But no one knew that even a rare, low-level succubus had a way to save his life. If he gathered enough affection from men, he could make one wish.

Lin Jin had always wished that he could die.

After he died, they all went mad, desperately trying to keep him with them.

The black dragon pulled out his protective scale and let his own body rot, so Lin Jin's would not decay.

Feng Yao refused to undergo rebirth and recklessly gave Lin Jin his own life essence.

Song Lin held Lin Jin's corpse, his eyes bloodshot, and reverently kissed his cold face. "None of you have the right to touch him."

The leaders of three factions fought without end over a lifeless body.

They were the powerful beings at the pinnacle of the demon city, possessing everything the world could envy: power, wealth, and strength.

At first, they treated Lin Jin as a little pet, teasing him when they felt like it and tossing him aside whenever they didn't.

But Lin Jin truly was a loyal pet. He would always hide timidly in a corner. Give him a glance, and he would shamelessly come close, ignoring his many wounds and doing everything he could to please you.

The pet loved his master dearly.

They began to regret letting other people claim Lin Jin, and wanted to keep his love all to themselves.

Only when Lin Jin made his wish to die did they realize he had stopped loving them long ago.

He had pleased them only so that he could die.

[Their outward righteousness, sinister cruelty, and icy propriety, set against his humble kindness.]
