Honey, I Can't Live My Life Without You

[A niche story, please don't put it on your reading list and let it pile up QVQ. I recommend reading the first three chapters, then jumping straight to Chapter 13. The early chapters are rather slow, everyday-life scenes, and you can skip them without missing much. Five chapters will be posted on the night of the featured promotion~]

Xia Mi transmigrates and immediately becomes cannon fodder.

The moment he opens his eyes, he discovers he's being treated as expendable. His lifespan has been cut short, and he could die at any moment.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Luckily, he has a System, and the System can do anything.

As long as it has energy. But his System is so low on energy, it might as well be at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Every bit it uses is gone for good.

System: Host, don't panic! I've found you a powerful backer: the ruler of death in this world!

Xia Mi is overjoyed.

So he's got the chosen-one setup!

Xia Mi: Am I his sidekick?!

He's got this!

System: No. You're going to be his wife.

Xia Mi: ???

What do you mean the System just married him off without asking?!

He's straight!

*

In the long, majestic life of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, few were worth a second glance.

For so long, he'd thought he was truly a god without feelings or desires. Then he met Xia Mi.

Xia Mi was like a lively little bird. He'd reach out to tease Hades with a finger, look at him with pitiful eyes, and sidle up to him in tiny steps.

Such a poor little bird. Would he die without Hades?

The little bird seemed worried that Hades's love for him wasn't real. Hades sighed.

*

Hades never expected Xia Mi to turn into a soul crystal.

He cradled the crystal, watching the fated ending unfold.

The attendant god at his side urged him to accept his loss. The laws of life and death could not be changed.

Hades took out his divine core. As the other gods watched in horror, he joined it with Xia Mi's.

He was the embodiment of the laws, and he was willing to share his immense power with Xia Mi.

"You left your little bird behind. It's time to come home."

Just-woken Xia Mi: A quick check of my husband's mental state.

Xia Mi, again: System, you're fully charged?!

He woke from a nap, and everything that had been wrong was suddenly right again.

*Mutual first love, no previous partners

Check out the upcoming story, What Should I Do Now That My Husband's Gone Crazy?

Chu Xin transmigrates into the martial arts power fantasy I Am the Emperor, a novel full of crazies, thrills, domineering behavior, and demolition everywhere.

He hasn't read the book, though. He only knows the clickbait title.

He lives in constant fear of losing his life, but his house isn't so lucky. It gets forcibly demolished by villains from time to time, leaving Chu Xin in dire straits.

Luckily, he has one stroke of good fortune: he's not alone.

Chu Xin and his childhood friend, now his husband, depend on each other.

Not long after they marry, Chu Xin realizes his husband has stopped coming home.

After watching short videos, Chu Xin is teary-eyed: When a husband stops coming home, it usually means he's fallen for someone else.

Heartbroken, he finally finds his husband, ready to divorce him.

His husband hugs him so tightly that Chu Xin nearly suffocates.

Honey, when did you start working out so hard at the gym?!

Wait, why are you covered in injuries?!

It turns out his husband has been earning money by fighting in illegal boxing matches to support their family.

He stayed away because he didn't want Chu Xin to worry.

Chu Xin is devastated for him and decides to work more overtime so his husband won't have to fight as often.

Then Chu Xin receives notice that his husband has died. The body is missing.

He's a widower.

At the same time, the authorities release images of extremely dangerous lunatics.

The announcement says these people are bloodthirsty madmen, and one man is the craziest of them all.

They give him the codename "Mad Dog."

It's the male lead's codename in the original novel.

Danger level: SSS

But all Chu Xin sees is that this is his husband!

When Chu Xin finds his husband, the man is in the middle of a frenzied fight.

Blood sprays everywhere, and the scene is a mess of censorship mosaics.

The good news: His husband is alive!

The bad news: He's lost his memory, and fighting is all he can think about.

To tell this deranged version of his husband apart from the old one, Chu Xin calls him Xiao Bai.

The first thing his husband does after regaining his memory is get jealous of himself.

Who is Xiao Bai?! Is that who you're marrying next?!

Chou Baisheng was born into poverty, and Chu Xin was the only thing he truly cherished.

For Chu Xin's sake, he wanted to earn more money.

He realized something was wrong while fighting in the underground matches: the organizers seemed to be pitting fighters against one another in a brutal survival contest.

After becoming champion, he thought he could take his winnings and leave with Chu Xin.

He was wrong. Before losing consciousness, he thought, Chu Xin won't marry someone else, will he?

Then the thought jolted him awake.

If Chu Xin married someone else, even if he turned into a rotting heap of flesh and blood, he'd crawl back and take him away!

Check out my pen pal's story, Is It Growing Up If I Stop Depending on My Brother?

Su Pan has never spent a day apart from his older brother for as long as he can remember.

When he was still learning to talk, his brother fed him one spoonful at a time, dressed him, and raised him as both mother and father.

Su Pan has always felt guilty.

He thinks he's held his brother back and kept him from going to school.

He puts on his little backpack, ready to take part in an activity and give all the money he earns to his brother.

Yog-Sothoth, chief god of the Cthulhu Mythos, an indescribable being whose supreme power cannot even be detected by the supernatural affairs division.

Unpredictable and ever-changing, it rules the Western District.

It finds a human child.

In 2057, the world is on the brink of collapse. Pollution from beyond has quickly corrupted humanity, turning people into all kinds of twisted monsters.

In these circumstances, few human children remain, let alone one who has never been corrupted.

In a moment of madness, Yog-Sothoth reaches out.

Its treasure cannot see this ruined world.

Su Pan sips his milk. All around him are twisted monsters with severed heads or arms, yet he chatters away as if he were talking to uncorrupted human classmates.

The monster driving the bus watches Yog-Sothoth's hand, powerful enough to destroy a town, gently stroke the child's head.

Is It Growing Up If I Stop Depending on My Brother?!

After chatting with his best friend in class, Su Pan realizes something important.

His parents died when he was young, and his brother has cared for him ever since he opened his eyes. His brother works from dawn to dusk to support them, and doesn't even have enough money to go to school himself! (Not true.)

Su Pan bursts into tears!

He has to earn money to support his brother, too!

Yog-Sothoth's world comes crashing down.

It is another perfectly ordinary, happy day, but this time its treasure does not get off the bus.

Its consciousness spreads everywhere, covering every corner of the town as it searches for him.

*

To earn money, Su Pan joins a show.

Then something incredible happens: Players nervously competing in a deadly game discover that the monsters seem to favor this human child.

Amen, we're saved!

Before joining the show, Su Pan: I'll earn money to support my brother!

After joining the show, Su Pan: Huh...?

Why are they calling him a savior?

What's a savior?

Check out my pen pal Yun Qi Yun Qi's new story, Honey, Why Are You So Hard? [Cthulhu Mythos]. Here's the blurb:

Shen Ci transmigrates into a power-fantasy novel as the male lead's wife, but arrives during her husband's time of hardship.

The male lead is a domineering business tycoon who can control the entire commercial world and spends lavishly on him. But right now, he's just moved out of an orphanage with Shen Ci, and the two of them are crammed into a rented room.

But why does his boyfriend feel so hard to the touch, and look as if he's dead? There's always a shifting black shadow behind him, too. It's creepy.

Shen Ci feels that something is wrong with the world.

Is this still a modern urban story?

[Welcome to the parallel world of the Rules of Horror. Please draw your talent.]

[Rank D: Allure. Temporarily lowers an enemy's aggression.]

To survive, Shen Ci has to use his Allure skill every day. Somehow, he really does manage to fool his "boyfriend."

The man still works diligently at home, cooking and doing laundry for Shen Ci, and still goes out to earn money for him, just like before.

He even takes less than a tenth of the time it took in the original story to move them from the rented room back into a mansion.

*

Nyarlathotep, the chief god of the Cthulhu Mythos, awakens from a long slumber and discovers that he has arrived in a human body.

A beautiful blind man is feeling his abs and secretly checking for a pulse.

The blind man can't see the black mist behind him. He just reaches out to straighten his hair and smiles sweetly.

"Honey, you're not dead. That's great."

"Hurry and get to work. Rent is due this month."

*

Nyarlathotep discovers that his spouse relies on him a great deal, but also seems a little afraid of him.

It seems he always wants to ask something, but doesn't dare say it.

At last, Nyarlathotep can't help asking what's wrong.

Shen Ci finally blurts out: Honey, why do you feel so hard to the touch?

Nyarlathotep asks, "Which part do you mean?"

*

Later, the greatest source of pollution in the dungeon world is unleashed. Shen Ci, a human, is swallowed up in an instant and swept into another dimension.

The supreme chief god goes mad.

It devours every source of pollution in a frenzy. Just before the abyss closes, countless phantoms tear through space.

With blood-red eyes, it pulls Shen Ci into its embrace.

Terrified by its true form, Shen Ci's legs go weak, and he instinctively tries to use his skill again.

But his skill doesn't work.

"Baby, Rank D skills don't work on beings above Rank C."

"Want to guess what rank your husband is?"
