Yan Er is a spoiled young master, despised by everyone and doomed to an early exit in an apocalyptic ensemble novel.
He's sickly, selfish, arrogant, and universally disliked...
Huh?
He's being sent to an Omega breeding center!
The Yan family collapsed overnight, leaving Yan Er, its sole heir, the target of everyone's hostility.
Yan Er huddled in a filthy garbage dump, his slightly long hair covering his eyes and making him look both pitiful and obedient.
System: Your mission is to cling shamelessly to the protagonist group and avoid dying six months from now.
How hard can it be to latch onto someone powerful?
Besides, they say one can get three for the price of one.
So Yan Er pretends to be devastated and flatters his way into the favor of the impoverished boys from the slums who once looked down on him. He serves them tea and water, seduces his former arranged-marriage partner, and secretly makes a deal with the base commander.
But as he keeps clinging to them, why does everyone start...
When he sleeps, warm hands wrap around his waist. When he bathes, he keeps thinking he sees a shadow behind the frosted glass. Even when he follows the protagonist group to scavenge for supplies, he can feel an almost imperceptible gaze watching him...
Yan Er: Clinging to someone powerful is easy.
System: ...
He thought he'd escaped the death sentence awaiting him in six months, but because he has no special abilities, Yan Er is chosen by the base as one of the first people to be exiled.
System: Your new mission is to find someone to protect you.
So that night, Yan Er hesitantly climbs into bed with the protagonist group.
System: It should... it should be fine, right?
But that night, the System sees Yan Er biting his clothes, his eyes glistening with tears as he sobs incoherently.
Meanwhile, the protagonist group gently kisses away his tears, soothing him with one "baby," one "wife" after another.
System: ...
Hey!
Wake up, sweetheart!
I told you to cling to them, not become the protagonist group's wife!
①
Yan Er is most afraid of hearing that a different species has invaded the base, because once his "strong backs" finish cleaning up the scene, he's the first one they'll deal with.
They call it a reward, but their actions are more like punishment.
The protagonist group are all lunatics.
He's about to be done in by... a certain plant.
②
The different species launch a full-scale invasion. The pretty young master who used to hide behind the protagonist group suddenly disappears.
They send people to search for him, only to find the rampaging creatures crawling at his feet like little dogs.
Everyone: Didn't you say you had no special abilities?
Yan Er: Take a guess.
■ As always: a beautiful, universally adored male lead who is sickly but extremely strong and likes to play weak; all love interests are devoted to him.
■ The next novel will begin soon.
