ML confessing to MC like a true overbearing CEO: ... more>>
"Like? Admire?" Qin Mu repeated Cheng Lang's words, smiled playfully, and asked directly: "Then do you like my face? Or do you admire my body?"
Cheng Lang: "..."
Are all the domineering CEOs so straightforward now?
Cheng Lang sighed in his heart and explained with a stiff face: "Of course I like both."
"Very good." Qin Mu looked at Cheng Lang with cold eyes. He has given Cheng Lang a chance: "Then when are we going to bed?"
Cheng Lang: "!!!"
Cheng Lang looked at Qin Mu in disbelief, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.
"Don't you like me? Don't you want to climb into my bed?" Qin Mu looked at Cheng Lang: "I'll give you a chance now. Do you want to go to my house or to the hotel?"
In his mind, the system let out a gloating laugh.
Cheng Lang took a deep breath and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Mr. Qin, have you been stimulated by something?"
"I'm very calm." Qin Mu said: "I have never been played like this in my life. Cheng Lang, you are my savior, I will give you a chance to choose. Either sleep with me now and be mine. Or-"
Qin Mu looked at Cheng Lang aggressively and said: "Give me a chance to pursue you."
Cheng Lang: "..."
Another quote (after MC realized ML's parents divorcing left a psychological shadow):
Qin Mu hugged Cheng Lang, buried his head in Cheng Lang's neck, and said in a dull voice: "I won't let this relationship end either."
After a long silence, Cheng Lang suddenly chuckled: "We just got together and talked about this topic. Isn't it a bit unlucky?"
Qin Mu said: "No." Because they won't break up. They will always be together.
After hugging the insecure lover tightly, Cheng Lang changed the subject: "Go change your clothes, you have to go to work later."
ML: Qin Mu, the white moonlight of Lu Chengxuan. When MC first saw him in a bathroom at work, he was thinking "this man fits my aesthetic tastes from head to toe" twice throughout the text to describe how handsome and hot he is LOL. ML also thought fondly of MC because MC's energy reminds him of a husky, and he recognized MC isn't a harmless puppy. MC teasily asked for marriage after saving his life as a joke (because MC is flirty sometimes LOL) and when he heard MC was car-chased it did stimulate him, and after giving MC a black card (money!), house and car that MC doesn't use, he realized he wants more with MC. He also calls out MC's behavior of using his name to suit his needs - MC made Lu Chengxuan misunderstand their boss-employee relationship to scare him off, and he also twisted Qin Mu's words to deal with Qin Mu's friend that looked down on him and insulted his friends. Qin Mu actually proposed to MC which made him dumbfounded LOLOL MC rejects it thinking being entangled might affect his task progression, but Qin Mu picks up on his hesitation and asks/demands to sleep together LOL he doesn't just owe his lifesaver, he likes MC - except, MC kind of doubts it at first and assumed ML mistook the lifesaving favor as attraction/love...
MC: Cheng Lang is a transmigrator. The original role is the "jealous" roommate cannon fodder who introduces the protagonist shou to a shady job. MC pitied Shen Huaiyu and Meng Tianye who were screwed over by the protagonist gong and plot, so he helps them get back on their feet and with the power of friendship. He ends up becoming a crosstalk performer for the club ML owns because he stole the spotlight to protect Meng Tianye, and the audience likes his shameless nonsense talk LOL. He also helps the protagonist shou get back money he was scammed out of, and teaches his honest friend about human nature and not to be deceived (because he recognized protagonist shou was taken advantage of, and paid and sacrificed so much throughout the novel. He wanted to save his friend from his tragic fate. He was very angry Lu Chengxuan power played and fooled his friend by threatening to r*pe him to force a physical relationship... so MC was angry and had a good talk for his friend's sake not to be taken advantage of... so good!). MC tricks the system and justifies his good deeds as cannon fodder motivated LOL. MC is more obviously manipulative as he has the gift of gab, but he has a good heart and cares about the people around him. He's also highly emotionally intelligent and recognized the consequences of ML's friend's careless words and that person looked down on him in his heart... MC was also flustered by ML's straightforward approach LOL. MC really considered their future and knew his colleagues would ridicule him since he used to make fun of them for bringing back lovers from task worlds and now he will too. MC is one of my favorites because he is conscientious and always plans ahead. Although he thinks badly of himself (due to scheming and having ulterior motives) he is very good to good people - he figured out the truth behind Jin Huaiyuan in the original plot and pushed him to write a novel that blended his experience as an archeology grad student mixed with experiences from his previous life (of course, he remains unaware and just thought he had a very active imagination of a thriller plot that MC suggested where "parents were mu*dered, so the son went undercover of a criminal organization of tomb raiders to dig up evidence, expose the crime and seek justice" vs MC knows Jin Huaiyuan didn't meet a good ending in the original novel plot. This time around, he was lucky that MC created butterfly effects). That's another thing - MC intentionally created butterfly effects and intended from the start to transfer the protagonist gang's luck to the unlucky shou and have their "roles" Reverse because he always sided with the unfortunate and kind protagonists. MC also taught Shen Huaiyu as if he was his disciple LOL so when he leaves with Qin Mu, the protagonist shou will be alright as well as the other good friends MC made who originally didn't have a good ending... as for MC falling in love with ML - at first, MC was skeptical and he asked ML "what do you like about me?" ML replied MC felt real which shocked MC and "made his blood run cold" because it means ML awakened a self-awareness of the plot restarting over and over and mistook his survival instinct as love for MC (otherwise he risks being "factory resetted" and destroyed by the world consciousness supporting the plot)... MC didn't want to just admit he really loves ML (he didn't admit it but his actions demonstrate he fell for the caring and attentiveness of ML and also ML fulfilling his promise to cook for him and other romantic and sincere gestures LOL). Of course MC unilaterally decides to train ML to be his lover/fellow Tasker to save his soul LOL
ML is so cute- he and MC communicated their feelings!!! In the early stages, he straight up told MC he wants to live together as lovers and is traumatized by his fathers cheating. Then, he understood MC was worried he was trying to control him so he explained he wouldnt interfere with his social life or life as long as MC coaxes him. Then he teases MC with "you only want my body!" LOL
MC's newfound unserstanding of ML:
"Originally thought that he had found a friend with a cold, deep and domineering personality, but he didn't expect that the domineering president was so clingy and loved to act like a spoiled child in private.
Cheng Lang sighed. Don't say anything. Beauty is misleading!"
Anyways, I wonder if MC ever explained to ML the truth that their honeymoon will be for many lifetimes (because he told ML he'll spend many lifetimes with him and ML was confused LOL), if so, I hope MC also planned to return to the world as if nothing happened so that his friends won't feel he has left them for good... although it's one of many worlds to MC, his bonds are genuine. He also paints himself as indifferent, conceited and self-serving, but he has a good heart, is measured and can adjust the mood and comfort others (just like how he describes Jin Huaiyuan's good points - MC is caring and kind underneath his "poisonous tongue").

"Your life belongs to me, and my soul will be with you."
"Once a Sentinel has a dedicated guide, how could it be possible for them to act alone? They would have to be completely bound all day, 24 hours a day."
ML: "Xi Zhou" - a men sao, speaks rudely, but always kind and considerate in his actions. I also read the dong hua and his tastes in glittery shiny jewels on everything cute is very amusing. He is also very romantic in his heart and takes MC out on dates (meanwhile MC is dense and thinks they're going out for training and missions LOL). He is known for being a "walking aphrodisiac" to high-level guides... meanwhile he marks MC on their first encounter, and is immediately clingy afterwards (it is so adorable his dragon convinced him to gift cute things to MC as courting gifts LOL). He tries to restrain himself from monopolizing MC... he also destroyed clones of MC (he was very upset MC's identity was stolen and used as a ploy against him.). He is considered one of the greenest Green flag MLs in BL LOL, I put him here on this list cuz he's a passionate and romantic sentinel, and he kisses MC domineeringly~
MC: Qin Yun, is quite cool and cute. He's especially affectionate with the spiritual mental forms, and gets along very well with Zhong Yan, ML's dragon spirit. He is also dense LOL, but ML succeeds in seducing him.
The novel is good and the friends are pretty awesome!

Quote (from novel and the live adaptation) -... more>>
Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage to say, "I want to wash your hair in the future."
"..."
"Do you understand what I mean, I want to be with you forever."
[...]
"What you just said."
"It's true, of course it's true."
"If you... want to be with me forever, you can't regret it, and you can't have such thoughts about others anymore."
"Of course, I only like you, and I only want to be with you." Xiao Bao excitedly confessed.
"In the future... no matter what happens, this sentence can't be taken back."
"No, no matter what happens, I won't change my mind."
Huai En opened his eyes, turned over, supported his body weight with his elbows, stared straight at Xiao Bao, and his voice trembled a little, "If you... lie to me... I won't let you go... You are not allowed to lie to me."
"I will never lie to you, I will only like you all my life." Xiao Bao looked into his eyes and swore very seriously.
Huai En held Xiao Bao's head with his hands, pulled him closer, and pressed his lips against his. His lips were still trembling as he repeated, "I won't let you lie to me, I won't let you regret it. You, Jin Xiao Bao, will belong to me alone for the rest of your life."
"I will belong to you alone for the rest of my life, and so will you. Are you, Huai En, are you?" Xiao Bao responded to the kiss a little clumsily. He was no longer like himself. At this time, Huai En's words could send him to heaven and hell.
"I am, I only want you."
Another quote that makes ML so swoon-worthy:
"My father and mother are the same."
"Ah?"
"My mother was powerless and died to save my father."
"Huai En..."
"My father has always had only her, even if she died. I only have you, and I will in the future. I don't want you to die to save me. I will protect you for life."
Yandere quote (when ML caught MC hanging out at a brothel and went into full yandere rage of jealousy and resentment)
"Maybe he was wrong from the beginning. He shouldn't have expected Xiaobao, who was not outstanding in character and talent, to get along with him as he expected and live the life he expected with him. As long as he could keep him firmly in his hands, make him obedient, make him listen to him, and make him stay by his side, that was enough.
Jin Xiaobao, you shouldn't have provoked me. If you provoked me, you will never have the chance to regret it in this life. It was your own choice, and you can't regret it. You can't control yourself, it doesn't matter, I will take care of it. You can have women everywhere and feel fearless, it's nothing more than relying on the wealth of the Jin family. I will make sure you have nothing, I will make sure you have no capital to provoke anyone again, and I will make sure that from now on, you can only rely on me."
Anand another unhinged quote LOL:
"Huai En's expression was a little distorted, and his eyes were filled with anger and sadness. He wanted to tear the person in front of him into pieces and eat him, so that he could belong to him forever, and never say those cruel words to him with the mouth that had said countless words of love, and never look at others with the eyes that had once looked at him with admiration."
ML: Zong Zheng Huai En (MTL "Wynn" lol) doesn't know what love is, but grew up raised as a tool for revenge by his "father" obsessed with his deceased mother. Although he was initially disgusted with MC (because many people coveted him for his beauty), MC's sincere caring for him deeply touches him, and he is actually a faithful man and thought of MC as his spouse when they first slept together. He went CRAZY WITH JEALOUSY & YANDERE when he misunderstood MC cheating on him and catches MC in a brothel (in the drama it was gory - he angrily mu*ders the guards in his way and cuts off MC's friend's hand). Then r*pes MC (he r*pes him a few times... i kinda suspect it's around their date to Yuxia that their relationship really grew and established, and ML discovers MC's prostate gland??? So late in the novel after sleeping together many times LOL poor MC. It's also MC having to speak up and tell ML to use lube to make the experience more comfortable too BWAHAHA although, MC was the one who wanted to take advantage of ML so MC being topped by ML ends up being his due karma).
MC: Jin Xiaobao is a spoiled wealthy second generation in a martial arts novel and seems cannon fodderish with his awkward flirting LOL. ML impression of his was a foolish child that is easy to deceive and easy to please. He has many good points though - he can easily cheer himself up no matter the situation. He also is self-aware lolol he knows that he was envious of his hot childhood friend Su Yin's who has it all - smart and physically attractive body (Meanwhile, Su Yin secretly thinks of them as childhood sweetheart LOL). MC even confessed to Su Yin when he lost everything that he knew he was arrogant and because he didnt expect hed lose his backing... ML falls in love with him, and betrays him (because he himself is twisted from his own messed up dysfunctional upbringing and decided to follow the plan of "fattening and butchering the pig" with the justification of wanting to force MC in a helpless position to only rely on him and be obedient... also ML was still learning to love, and only understands his feelings of obsession and possessiveness towards MC). He even made MC promise him to always forgive him no matter what because he forgave MC for flirting with others LOL ML is so unhinged LMAO meanwhile, MC thought he likes ML more than ML likes him and misinterpreted ML's jealous behavior (he thought ML punished him because he was disgusted with him, when in reality ML was emotionally distraught and thought MC lied about loving him...)
Love rival? Su Yin (who thinks of MC as his childhood sweetheart and was surprised MC slept with ML. He literally roasted him "so as long as they're beautiful gender doesn't matter!?" But also is bitter MC didn't fall in love with him???) Su Yin, like any true second male lead, provides for MC who thought he was used and abandoned while ML was locked up and tortured. Ohhh and the crown prince is obsessed with him and very possessive LOL (Jin Bao in his story was concerned that if the crown prince ascends as emperor, he'd lock up Su Yin... who is competent and capable himself)
Drama vs novel - both are very good!!!!! Both have attention to detail in different ways; in the novel it's MC's POV who is naive and unreliable as a narrator so the drama does a very good job bringing the characters to life, and it shows ML's POV alongside MC's and that he feels MC's love saved him (ML doesn't open up as quickly to MC in the novel, but his complicated feelings are explored further in the novel). Novel has more explicit s*x scenes LOL whereas in the drama, ML would push MC down and they would hold hands LOLOLOL (censorship LOL). ML's smile is very attractive, and MC smiling foolishly is so cute so I really enjoy the live adaptation (honestly most BL adaptations are done so well!!). Drama also moves at a faster pace and I appreciate the screenwriters adaptation because it still stays true to the novel, and MC is more cheerful in the show (he is a bit of a crybaby in the novel due to being spoiled and used to crying for attention LOL).
Anyways the novel is hilarious- heres a passage about ML's stamina:
"Huai En looked at him like a wolf, ready to pounce on him and eat him up at any time. His physical strength was too different from that of ordinary people. He could keep ramming into his body at a speed like a storm until he was almost unconscious and his lower body was completely unconscious. Xiao Bao really loved and feared him. He didn't understand why Huai En suddenly lost control. He used to be at least restrained. Of course, he only realized now that Huai En had been restrained before, but now he seemed to want to squeeze him out of everything, as if this was their last time."

ML's obsession with MC:... more>>
He did not want to admit it, but he had to admit that Xiaohu's feelings for him were won by his soft and hard tactics, coaxing and deceiving. How much sincerity could there be in it? What if one day he got tired of it and just walked away?
He did not even dare to ask him for a promise of forever, in case he hesitated.
But he could not let go. He had watched his mother die, his father being taken away, and the people around him disappearing one by one. He only had Xiaohu left. He was the only one left to prove that he had the surname Yue and his past.
The more he feared that Xiaohu might leave, the tighter he would hold on. He was really afraid that one day he would be driven crazy by this desire for control and would not be able to help but hurt him. The more he thought about it, the harder he kissed him.
ML: Que/Yue Siming - sassy, bossy, smart grump who smiles fondly at MC (cherished childhood friend who represents the good memories of his childhood before he lost everything). In the prequel (as they are a side couple in the author's other book) he instantly recognizes grown-up MC and schemes to take him back. His childish promise to marry carried him through the struggle and dark times of his life and he pinned his hope on the idea of MC because he thought they wouldn't meet ever again. So when they cross paths, he didn't hesitate to catch MC.
MC: Jin Bao/ Wang Erhu/ Xiaohu - "dumb" sunshine character. He is treated like a puppy by his friends, and is a nimble and good martial artist. ML outsmart him and succeeds in tricking him into sleeping with him LOL. Here's a quote after they survive almost being captured by ML's nemesis:
... now he feels that being with Que Siming is just
natural. Although he can't speak, and can't do anything to please others, he will be serious about being good to Que Siming.
After Que Siming kissed him enough and let him go, Jinbao said to him very seriously, "We will share happiness and difficulties in the future."
After saying this, he felt very heroic and manly, and even his chest straightened.
Que Siming looked at his bright, frank, and serious eyes and laughed.
Is this a promise? It's like swearing brotherhood in the underworld, but it is indeed a promise, and it is indeed a promise that Xiaohu can make.
The child's face was still a little red, "Don't laugh, I'm serious."
"Okay, we share the good and the bad."
Jimbao being so cute, sweet and affectionate is the most likely reason why ML is so attached and fought hard to never forget him and the happy memories they shared... Jinbao is also the one who proposed LOL

Both ML and MC POVs are narrated...... more>>
"□□, love, desire for conquest, possession and so on are chaotic and complex, intertwined and entangled, constituting Ming Zhao's deepest desire for Qi Yuan."
"Ming Zhao had never liked anyone before, and had no experience of getting along with someone he liked. He just followed Qi Yuan instinctively. He didn't want Qi Yuan to leave his sight. Even if Qi Yuan was too busy to pay attention to him, he would follow Qi Yuan closely.
He wanted to stay close to Qi Yuan all the time. When Qi Yuan spoke, he stared at his lips and wanted to kiss him."
ML: Ming Zhao (future SSS-level disaster gong) woke up with tent**les that keep growing everytime he "eats"/devours other disasters (ghosts and other supernatural entities) - this also unlocks unlimited YANDERE behaviour lmao. He also has an intense craving for his "natural enemy" Qi Yuan, and when he smelled his blood he had a obsessive and fanatical look that scared Qi Yuan. In addition, he pretty much stalks him because he realized MC was on "the other camp" hunting down his prey, and he is able to find MC anywhere due to the allure of his fragrance. Meanwhile, the "captain" who was reborn saw ML as a terrifying evil god Chaos, and in his domain he saw him holding a photo of Qi Yuan, calling him "his more precious person..." so he assumed Qi Yuan's death contributed to the birth of the monster. (Sometimes ML almost loses his sanity whenever he levels up, so MC is his anchor in reality and MC's purification power helps ML retain his rationality. However, the more powerful he becomes, the more "memories" from his past life trickle in... and ML's obsession with MC stemmed from their past and he is truly afraid of MC dying. ML also stalks MC to the countryside when MC was on a mission, but ML was casually pretending he was there for a good reason LMAO he really just wanted to see MC who ran away from him lolol). ML also aggressively semi-forces MC to agree to be his boyfriend (aw) and insecurely keeps asking "do you like me?" While they were "fighting" (thats how MC refers to their violent intimate moments which is really just MC resisting cuz he is annoyed at being suppressrd by ML so he beats him up - he whips out his magical golden chain and ML enjoys being hit and strangled by MC LMAO he srsly just wants MC's attention tho bwahaha) so MC straight up is angry-sleepy and shouts before passing out "if I didnt like you why would i let you touch me!?" Or "I like you, alright!?" and ML wouldnt feel so empty (cuz ML wants all of MC - body, heart, mind and soul LOLOL hes very possessive~) heres an example of ML just casually having YANDERE thinking: Ming Zhao remained calm on the surface, but in fact he had already listed in detail the steps of the plan to take Qi Yuan away and lock him up.
Qi Yuan was unaware of this. He would never have thought that Ming Zhao was fine yesterday but suddenly went crazy today.
MC: Qi Yuan, disliked ML from childhood due to an instinctal wariness (that stemmed from a misunderstanding). From then on, they would provoke and fight each other. From ML's POV, he knew life would be boring without MC around so he toys around with him. MC was shocked and in denial with the rebirth character telling him Ming Zhao has a crush on him LOL. Even though he's like "I see why he likes you" as Qi Yuan is a fair and just person (Ming Zhao knows how to push his buttons, and also respect him somewhat.). MC didnt think ML liked him because of the disgust and "complex emotions" and deep looks in his eyes when he looks at him. MC is totally oblivious to the "dark and deep" gaze ML directs towards him (meanwhile, the fujoshis at their school campus ships them because they notice the way ML looks at MC... and the time ML pinned down MC when they were fighting and MC felt the tentacle and screamed "did you just grab my ass!?" LMAO). Annnnd its so cute, but MC befriends ML's grandpa (to complain)/to save him and find ways to prolong his life since Ming Zhao loses his humanity after his grandpa dies... meanwhile the grandpa is delighted because Qi Yuan is the reason Ming Zhao loses his composure and acts pouty with him LOL grandpa appreciates their bickering dynamic, and knows Ming Zhao wanting to improve fighting etc is due to Qi Yuan. For Qi Yuan, he learnt swimming because he and Ming Zhao almost drowned as children fighting LMAO (ML can breathe underwater so he's usually stalking MC and saving him from drowning whenver MC is battling a water-type enemy LOL). They're kinda like childhood fr-enemies who know each other so well... if something happens to Qi Yuan, then Ming Zhao and his tent**les would go crazy and rage (since he noticed he craves MC, he's constantly looking for opportunities to eat MC, but he hasnt lost his control and rationality enough yet LOL).
Update: ML is so shameless LMAO the first half of the novel is him trying to be in control while his tent**les go wild, and eventually post-relationship confirmation with MC, he acts on his perverse instincts while pretending to be composed - his reproductive tentacle mutates and MC is totally unaware ML is plotting HAHAHA and at some point ML steals MC's underwear and plays it off like:
Qi Yuan felt a headache, turned around and asked coldly: "Where are my underwear?"
"Maybe I accidentally put it away with the clothes." Ming Zhao said nonchalantly, pretending to look for it in the space, "But there are too many things in my space, I can't find it for the time being."
Qi Yuan: "Then what should I wear?"
"Why do you need to wear it?" Ming Zhao smiled, "It's just you and me here anyway."
Qi Yuan was so angry that his chest heaved a few times.
...
Qi Yuan understood. No matter whether he could find the underwear or not, Ming Zhao would not give it to him. He just wanted him to sleep naked tonight.
(Later on, ML gets paranoid and assumés MC agreed to date him to protect the country and not because he loves him LOLOL)
Ming Zhao thought indifferently that he regretted it. He shouldn't have endured it and given in, hoping that Qi Yuan would accept him. It was all in vain.
Qi Yuan's love was not as deep as his. He did not want to possess the other person all the time, to kiss and lick every part of the other person's body, to leave a conspicuous mark, to hear the other person's cry of collapse after the extreme pleasure, and to lock the other person up in a place where only he could see him.
Ming Zhao thought that if he got Qi Yuan, the emptiness in his heart would be filled. But after it was filled, he was even more dissatisfied.
(but really ML jusf overthinks. Mc meanwhile is shy about holding hands in front of his team LOLOL)
Qi Yuan avoided Ming Zhao's gaze, his ears a little red.
Holding hands with Ming Zhao in front of everyone, the teasing and well-intentioned looks made him feel a little uncomfortable. Qi Yuan was sure that if it weren't for his dignity as the captain and the fact that he was doing serious work, these people would definitely make a fuss.
Side yandere couple - Richard and Leslie (orphaned childhood sweethearts who fell into the wrong path and couldn't get out of it. Just like the witch and her brother, they are not able to survive on their own - one without the other). When Richard dies, he shoots Leslie who is already shocked that he got killed and he's like "why...?" And Richard is like "accompany me...". Meanwhile I'm thinking that they didn't have to die, but it makes sense for Ming Zhao to do so because Richard posed a threat to Qi Yuan's safety before and have the power to manipulate others.
But also like, for a guy who is sensitive to people's intentions and emotions, he is cold LOL it's also heavily implied in the first life he lost control and killed/devoured Qi Yuan (he might have passed due to blood loss and Ming Zhao goes YANDERE by keeping his body and levels up/travels around trying to bring him back to life/confronts the evil villain and devours the power to turn back time leading to the novel's time-line where the only "survivor" Captain Lu recruits MC therefore saving him by helping him awaken his powers so when ML was drinking his blood he was able to fight back and sober him, so ML was able to wait for help to arrive and save MC. Of course ML gradually recovers pieces of his memory of emptiness and also has nightmares of seeing MC lifeless so it makes sense his obsession stemmed from then... and he knows himself well - he wouldn't kill himself to accompany MC but instead would go to great lengths to resurrect him

"He inexplicably felt that... today might be the day when Qi Yuan lost his temper the most in the past few years, but it was all because of him.
The possessiveness in the evil god's bones was also subtly satisfied because of this."
ML: "Pei Xuan", an evil god (and final villain) disguises himself as the eldest son of the Pei family to bid his time to devour the evil creature the Pei family uses. He marries MC in a contract marriage as part of his disguise fulfilling the role of "the eldest son", and finds himself attracted to MC and thinks he's a cute and fragile human. Of course he descends into YANDERE possessiveness - he's jealous of MC's friendships with Ye Du and Pei Baiqing (the original novel protagonists) and he thinks they are attracted to MC. He went crazy and purposely revealed his identity as an evil god to test MC, but MC pretended to be dumb and turned à blind eye which fascinated him even more LOL. He also assumed MC was pregnant with his child, and he decided to abort thinking MC is too weak and would die from his bloodline devouring him from the inside, but by injecting his essence he caused MC to evolve and upgrade - revealing his true form as a cute dragon. Then ML goes even more insane with love and possessiveness - MC, out of instinct (his dragon core mistakes ML as his destined partner due to the energy nourishment ML injected into him), sleeps with ML LMAO... and then more crazy-in-love ML because he confessed he didn't dissolve the marriage contract because he likes MC, and he gifts MC half his heart (LOLOL literally) which turns into a bracelet on MC (like a shackle). MC of course runs away, and ML is amused because he'll always be able to track him.
MC: Qi Yuan, a void dragon that evolves into an ancient dragon due to ML's power. He's a cutie and beautiful boy who is lazy and loves gems (he crushes it and mixes it into powder and applies it as skincare LOL). He follows ML because of the easy money ML gifts him, and helps Ye Du (the heir of the Heavenly Master Association) because they also gave him money as thank you for help and advice (and some degree of friendship). It was hilarious when ML catches MC hibernating and shedding his scales while growing new horns and wings, so when he woke up (cuz ML was feeling him up/kissing his wings and MC's bone wing cut his cheek, leading to his blood dripping onto MC startling him awake) they confronted each other - ML was like "what's up with the horn and wings?" And MC is like "well, what's with your eyes and the abyss behind you, are you human too?" LOLOL

"On the bare feet that were exposed outside the quilt, there were also fingerprints that were pressed when he was caught when he tried to escape just now."
When these two were flirting:
"Aren't you curious about where I want to take you?"
"Could it be that you can sell me?" Hang Sizhou asked back as a matter of course.
Xiao Hang lowered his voice: "I can't sell you, but I can lock you up in a secret place that only I know, so that you can only see me in the future."
Hang Sizhou blinked and said "OK".
Xiao Hang: "..."
Also the ML is soooo sweet:
"Xiao Hang's voice came through the airwaves, revealing a serious and firm feeling that he had never had before: "I hope you are happy, Hang Sizhou."
"I have always wanted you to stay with me, but I hope you can be free and happy to do whatever you want. Whether it is five years ago or five years later, my idea has never changed."
ML: Xiao Hang, who was secretly in love with MC for many years (since they were teenagers). Obviously he was tired and burnt-out with MC never loving him back due to resentment and other misunderstandings and miscommunication, until MC lost his memories of the past 10 years and was willing to give him a chance thinking they were in mutual love (and not forced or in a contract). ML is also "a beast" towards MC who takes the initiative to seduce him LOL. ML gets insanely jealous sometimes too, and he beats up his "love rival" Han Wenzhou (who once confessed to MC, and is trying to seduce him again with an ulterior motive). Of course he says "stay away from my wife!" LOL (even tho he lets MC call him wife LOLOL, he thinks of himself as the husband~ heh).
MC: Hang Shizhou, who lost his memories and became 18 years ago again. He's a cute affectionate tsundere towards ML, so it makes you wonder what caused him to be cold towards ML before having amnesia... hes seriously adorable, his favorite piano idol gives him books and accidentally gives him a "relationship" book (titled "How to be a big 1" and the back is "How to be a big 0" LOLOL it becomes a running joke of ML catching MC secretly reading this book LMAO). MC falls in love with ML and understands him better, and it turns out they met a long time ago (ML has a picture he secretly took of MC playing the piano before MC quit). Of course ML's sincerity touched him - ML remembered everything MC said. For example, MC casually complained his s*um father auctioned off a blue diamond ring heirloom that belonged to his mother, so ML years ago as an upstart bought the blue diamond ring for millions of dollars. He kept a hold of it and just never found the opportunity to give it to MC. And back when MC was pregnant, they lived in a small town for safety and ML would fly in and out for work and stay with MC at night as a dutiful husband... MC also cared about him by making sure there was leftover for him, but MC didnt realize ML was pining after him LOL. For ML, MC was always by his side through the sad times in his life, and he fell in love with MC at first sight and knew MC was simply "his preference". MC likes ML, but his cold attitude put him off so he was under the impression they were in a loveless marriage until he had amnesia... turne out MC never thought ML loves him. Meanwhile, ML has a GPS locator software installed on MC's phone and he's like "for safety reasons" LOL (ML stalked MC when he ran away, and comes to MC's rescue when he was almost r*ped)...
Fav side couple: ML's friend who is obsessed with MC's friend and becomes his boss LOL. They sleep together and hes like "take responsibility for me!" So when MC somehow travels back in time and meets ML and talks about the Future (his timeline)
"Your good brother Fu Haoyan gloriously inherited his father's company, and is now with Jing Qing. Did you know that he has always liked Jing Qing and has had a crush on him for many years!"

"What's even more disturbing is that no one knows when he will tear off this disguise and devour his prey."
ML: Wen Yue, many people are intimidated by his presence, but MC isn't fazed. Through the "Melon system", MC understands that ML is open-minded, and not cold or ruthless like rumors speculate. ML was initially attracted to MC because of the smell of oranges MC carries, and as they meet more and MC becomes more successful and brings in profit for ML, (as well as his subordinates assuming they were a couple LOL) he gradually falls for MC and pursues him. He is very passionate when in love, as he would arrange plans to visit MC wherever MC is working. He even gifts MC very expensive gifts without expecting anything in return.
MC: Gu Xingshi (Star Light?? I'm unsure what the translation is, but many people like his name and the gentleness of his voice and his innocent look LOL). Through his golden finger, the Melon system (that the public assumes is a hacker and his backer/connection to the police LOL), MC helps and befriends people who were "unlucky" but are honest and hard-working talented people who he helps shine and reach their potential based on their skills and personality. I really enjoy reading about tbe artists, scriptwriters, agents, directors and other people he recruits LOL

Harem but almost became 1v1 with the yandere husband HAHA... more>>
The Yandere is Yi'er (il = 1), basically the "sickly beauty" cured after having a taste of the protagonist and thus locks him up in a small black room play. Very very possessive, and his possessiveness triggered the route and MC was briefly on his route only. MC did fall for him, but he cares for his other "wives"(husbands) so MC was like "gotta snap out of this and meet the rest of the harem!!!" (MC is hilarious LOL). So the men are vaguely self-aware that the world is a game and that the protagonist is the one destined to favor them, but upon meeting the delicate MC they're very seduced and tempted by his blushing demeanor so they take charge into bringing him into the bedroom LOL. In Yi's mind, he is so YANDERE he shifted the game into his favor (influencing the system to present MC with the choice of 1v1 romance) and MC was almost brainwashed/mind broken and dependent on him, so Yi was very tempted to get rid of his competition for MC's attention and love (basically all other romancible/romanced targets LOL).
Yandere Yi quotes (after he uses tracking magic to find MC who ran away to meet the cat boy beastman LOL)
"At the beginning, I shouldn't have been considerate of Zhao Cen and chose to share him with others... I should have caught him, broken his legs and locked him up, so that he belonged to me alone, and only I could see him...
I could do whatever I wanted to him o(*////▽////*)q, do whatever I wanted!
Yi'er was suddenly touched by his own fantasy, and a blush appeared on his face. His pale face was more lively, and Zhao Cen was tempted by his beauty again."
MC thinks Yi is a BUG since he was supposed to be a passerby, but he has a name LOL:
"Yi'er's appearance was very oriental, which was very different from other Western handsome men. Coupled with the fact that he was weak and sickly, Zhao Cen felt that he was really a bug that had entered the Western world.
However, he was already very familiar with Yi'er's nature, and he immediately discovered that this black lotus must be thinking of something terrible in his mind.
Think about it quickly...how should he escape next."
Meanwhile, the other men like the prince and "older brother" drugged MC occasionally... every man be crazy in this novel LOL and lots of dub con. MC wants to top but none of the men respect that LOL
MC: Zhao Cen who is thirsty (cuz he loved the harem route in the original video game and was pumped to conquering the babes again... however he didn't expect he'd be pushed down even by the pretty ones HAHAHA)
The authors comments are hilarious too LOLOL
More YANDERE YI quotes HAHA:
"You can only be mine..." His dark eyes stared at Zhao Cen motionlessly, and the distortion in his eyes made Zhao Cen a little scared, "I miss the days when you were in the small dark room..."
Zhao Cen wanted to cry but had no tears. On the one hand, he was worried that the Holy Son would not be pushed down, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would be caught in the small dark room and live a life of worrying about his kidneys.

"Li Lanshou, being a completely straight man, didn't understand the complexities of Chuxuan's mind. He chuckled lightly. "You're so pathetic, Shixiong."
Chuxuan l**ked his lips and lowered his voice. "I want to be your dog s*ave, Shidi."
Li Lanshou raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "Are you even worthy?"
Why would he want a dog with ulterior motives, one that could turn on him at any moment?"
MLs: their main mood is "hit me harder" in subtle ways LMAO
ML (main ML: Chu Yue (long aotian) is tricked into becoming MC's s*ave (cuz MC wants to live)... and then he gets really into MC LOLOL he went from resenting MC into becoming a flattered- "Who are you?"
Chu Yue said calmly: "I am Li Lanxiu's man."
LOL
MC: Li Lanxiu (Lanshou) catch phrase "are you worthy?" LOL im unsure if he's pretending, but he's a natural dominatrix Mary Sue as all these men get really turned on, hot and bothered when he's insulting and slapping them and he's totally unaware they're obsessed with his "vicious and fierce beauty" act LOL. Like, he saw his own face and he's like "hmm my face, nice" so casually it's obvious he's unaware he's the most beautiful person in the realm LOL
Other hot MLs that makes Chu Yue crazy with jealousy to the point he's like "how many men have you provoked in a place I don't know!?" - theres Gu Zhengxing (hot ghost king), Bai Ying (hot dragon/demon lord/ disguised as a sect elder/oldest disciple), theres also ML's bro Ming Changsheng who has a ghost twin (hes isnt seduced by MC, but more like, proud to be of help to MC LOL ML only gets jealous when MC places a s*ave mark on him LOL). Hmm aside from senior brother Chu Xian with an unhealthy obsession with MC, theres Jiang Jiusi (idk how to spell his name) who was supposed to assasinate MC but fell for his beauty and begs MC's father to take him as a disciple cuz his life mission is to see MC's face LMAO. Meanwhile, MC is just casually seducing men everywhere thinking he's just a tease, but hes totally unaware he's making everyone gay panic for him LOLOL even the villains like the Black Dragon and Yin Wuji...

ML and MC are really cute gay parents LOL... more>>
I also love that the author's twitter/X account are drawings of the food or doodles of scenes in the novel LOL
ML (Leovald)'s POV contains unhinged thoughts. To MC, he's an innocent and silly hero, but when it switchesn to ML's perspective he has morbid and gruesome thoughts and is self-aware he is abnormal (due to trauma on the battlefield and from fighting monsters, he himself has become one). For instance, he was so intensely interested in understanding what makes MC tick, that he contemplated gouging out MC's eyeballs and peeling back his flesh to analyze the layers, but he understands it's just fascia and connective tissue and it would be squishy and bloody so he stops his intrusive thoughts. Then, as he encounters the relatives and family of Leonard (the body he is possessing), he becomes very possessive of MC who knew his true identity from the start and he feels his existence is validated by MC's recognition (which is insane considering MC feels that way when ML unknowingly used "protagonist observes you" powers on him LOL). Then they develop a psychic connection to communicate (because the authors ship them and are helping MC help ML LOL) and he keeps quiet that he knows MC is thinking about him because he finds MC so very endearing. He's also the one acting affectionate - he called MC "darling" (to prevent his perceived former mentor Orlie from flirting with him LOL), he follows MC for no reason other than not wanting MC out of his sight, he uses his forehead to measure his temperature, and other intimate gestures like laying his head on MC's lap like a pillow. These actions cause people to misunderstand. His thinking seems unromantic, and he justifies himself thinking he is a simple man who pays back kindness in return with kindness... like hmm everyone is convinced he's seriously into MC, and they were mistaken as a married couple a few times LOL I suspect he loves MC, but due to his unstable upbringing probably isnt aware of his own feelings and develops disturbing possessive and violent thoughts (which explains the CRAZY thinking, ML is borderline insane. His narrative will give you chills. But also, very polite and docile from MC's POV and he is so worked up and worried when he sees MC injured LOL so the conteast creates a gap moe making him so adorable LMAO. They are also doing a good job raising their son, Vittorio LOL).
MC: (forgot his own name, so it remains a secret until ML remembers their promise...) his name is a secret teehee. At first, he helps the protagonist because he wants to live... and gradually gets absorbed in the act of "pretend lovers" hehehe well, he wants to be an informant/apostle (like he wants the story to take him seriously) and he'll become your favorite main character you will cheer for. The storytelling is compelling and amazing, but what really keeps me going is the skinship between MC and ML LOL. Basically MC figures out everytime they touch, his prescence and significance to the story increases so he thinks of ML as a battery charger (and a personal taxi because he develops the ability to call ML via telekinesis to pick him up LOL). He's soooo funny LOL, like whenever ML catches him from falling he'd be like "oh hello again pectorial muscles" LMAO he also calls them friends and remains oblivious or confused when people mistake them for a couple instead of brothers BAHAHA. Like, there was a knight asking him if he and ML have held hands, hugged and kiss and he's like "yeah...?" (Cuz he was thinking of the times they escaped danger or when ML did CPR on him after he drowned LOL). They seriously act like a married couple - ML uses his forehead on MC to check for fevers, they sleep together, ML accidentally fell on top of MC when he fell on his bed, he often puts his hand on his waist or holds him close and other intimate gestures. They have a son!!!! MC constantly cooks and feeds them and then it turned into MC, ML and their son cooking together LOL. I love the domestic fluff and it's balanced with intense, horror (plot) and political intrigue plot as well as questions surrounding truths of the world and surrounding MC's mysterious forgotten identity. And romance !!! It makes sense MC and ML are quite dense, while being a couple HAHAHA

So MC has hot tall roommates who are successful in their respective faculties LMAO... so im wondering if this is gonna be a mild harem cuz of the setup and the flirty nature of the dorm leader Duan Linze buuut
SPOILER Lowkey im rooting for Wen Xu as the ML is the one who acts cool but is very passionate (YANDERE!!) about MC (MC accidentally fell on his lap and he got very excited heehee). Although, i understand MC is a little scared of him. Wen Xu has a cool and calm facade but is secretly a pe*vert crazy about MC (he stole his underwear and played it off as if it was mixed in his laundry, meanwhile MC is seducing him but is actually trying to guess his intentions LOL). He has a fake online account and his posts are unhinged LMAO chapter 7, MC is borrowing his computer and accidentally closes the browser so he opens up the internet again and goes through the search history leading to a spiral where he discovers YANDERE posts like "he's wearing white shorts... I wanna tie him up so he doesn't wear them again" or "baby you're so pretty", "I want to kiss you again" , "why are you smiling at others? Why do you hug someone else in front of me?", "if you don't behave, im afraid ill do something crazy one day", "i want to tie you up on the bed and do it over and over again in front of those three guys"
MC: Ning Ran, is very cute - basically is flustered he was kissed so he sends a mass text to his roomates confronting them and its hilarious when one asks him about it front of the other roomates LOLOL and its hilarious how he deals with situations- he discovers Wen Xu's online account and thinks the behaviour is stalkerish and pathological needing treatment - hes literally "omg everything i do makes him wanna jump me!!!". So he creates an online account intending to treat him and is like "let doctor Ning cure you!" LMAO
Anyways whenever MC and ML came out to their roommates most of them already knew LOLOL (except one who jokes if MC is tired of ML he can date him LOL). The flirty roommate was like "yeah I know cuz I saw you two kissing in the washroom " LOLOL

Quote:... more>>
"I don't care what Jishu thinks now." He stared at the latter's face and said, "If Jishu sees the real me... and can accept it, can we not break up...? Of course, this doesn't mean that I care about the thoughts of mere humans. It's just--"
[Just, I want you to keep looking at me. Don't break up. ]
[Don't break up. ]
[Otherwise, I don't know what I will do. ]
Another quote (ML is almost mentally collapsing because MC asked to break-up and he refuses awww)
Although he couldn't see his face, he had an intuition that told Ye Jishu that the other party's mood had fallen to the lowest point.
"Break up... Never..." [Yan Mei] said intermittently and incoherently, "If you make a mistake somewhere, start over from there... I have carefully prepared for a long time, and I definitely don't want to break up with Jishu, woo..."
ML: [Yan Mei] who is so beautiful that people go crazy in love at first sight for him... except that He is an inexplicable existence that pretends to be human because he loves MC, and that's the only way he was able to exist in MC's perceived [ordinary] world... (he legit hints at MC "this is a curse you placed on me" and he deals with supernatural occurrences around MC because he wants to uphold "the sense or normalcy" and status quo. He's YANDERE, he gets very happy when he feels emotions from MC, but he's also crazy about their relationship- when the charm MC gave him fell into the water, the person who caused it ends up almost drowning to death by ML as revenge. Anyways he turns into a monster and wanted to seek MC, but since he was disturbing their second date ML drowns him again (mostly because he turned into a monster/[source of infection] and ML sensed he was a threat to MC's safety). Anyways ML mentally collapses when MC asked to break-up (due to insecurity and also, his memories/thinking has been tampered so he doesnt think he deserves to be with Yan Mei whom he is in awe of and sincerely loves... poor MC doesnt think they're meant to be together) annnnd so ML is like "walk me to my dorm" cuz he knows MC is sincere and cares about him and is willing to indulge him. Then he's like "come to my room" even though MC dumped him... and he locks MC in his room revealing his true form literally as the summary says:
"His tone was coaxing, his face dazzlingly beautiful.
His ink-black eyes were filled with dark, insane possessiveness.
Seeing the tent**les sprouting from the protagonist shou’s body, and the black mist swirling around him, Ye Jishu’s heart raced at five hundred miles per hour, jumping to full throttle, his eyelids twitching furiously.
What is this? So scary, so terrifying, ahhhh!" - basically MC's (per novel text) psychological defense breaks and he's internally screaming "so scary!!" because it's difficult to process what he thought was a normal romance campus novel sttaight into horror genre LMAO and ML's beautiful face surrounded by a scary body that's difficult to imagine shocked MC speechless. Although, ML thinks MC is capable of accepting his true form (because other's who have seen his body go insane as their rationality breaks down... meanwhile MC's face goes blank and he's just standing there taking it all in).
MC: Ye Jishu (sometimes MTL as send/mail books = Jishu). Very calm and quiet. Quite introverted, makes mild expressions and comes off as indifferent to other people (but he's just very reserved). He's good at horror games LOL. His memory has been tampered so he's convinced he's living in a BL romance campus novel and thinks of himself as a passerby (which was to help him cope with and ignore supernatural elements buuut this false sense of reality was actually detrimental to his mental health as it led to him feeling insecure and unworthy of Yan Mei). Anyways, he dismisses strange occurances and rationalizes that it's all part of the illogical novel they live in LOL. He's also a special existence - an anchor of reality. As long as his mental state is good, he sees the world as [ordinary] therefore his special existence nullifies anything supernatural and maintains the safe reality of "normal" because he was instilled with a false sense of normalcy. When [sources of infection] (people who have turned into monsters/supernatural creatures) OR people who are at risk of turning into [sources of infection] come into contact with him, they turn back to normal and their mental state is stabilized. So like, his ghost roommate looks like a gloomy Otaku (to him) because he doesnt think his roomate is unusual (his roomate also cherishes him as a true friend and tries to protect him from beyond the grave by messaging him the story of BlueBeard and told him "don't open the door, Jishu", because he doesn't know if MC will be safe if he's aware of the truth of his boyfriend and the world they live in). Meanwhile, MC was actually in a controlled environment as the Bureau in charge of dealing with supernatural causes purposely has [sources of infection] come into contact with him (and the officer following him draws a metaphor that Ye Jishu is like the goldfish he keeps... he's doesn't know he's under observation) however, Yan Mei was beyond their control and it scares basically all the characters that [Yan Mei] is willing to play "student living a normal college campus life" because of love.
The novel is very exciting. The first half is Yan Mei desperately trying to maintain order for Ye Jishu's sake, while being scary jealous when Ye Jishu "pays attention to others". (The look in his eyes are terrifying sometimes LOL). The latter half of the novel is Yan Mei begging not to break-up~ MC has difficulty communicating sometimes... and then the control bureau causes time to distort and revert back to the rainy day when they agreed to date and convince MC not to meet ML LOLOL (it was all a plot twist cuz they suspected ML is waaay too powerful to control, and they wanted to test a god's love for a mortal)
Ch 45: MC is described as "a butterfly trapped in a glass wall. And his existence is undoubtedly salvation for this kind of people [sources of infection]." (As he grew up protected by the Control Bureau, like a panda, a protected rare species LOL)
I also love how dedicated Yan Mei is as a boyfriend LOL he picks up Jishu from class and initiates and plans dates - quote from Chapter 1: "their relationship was legitimate. And over the past few months, thanks to Yan Mei, they’d spent practically twenty out of every twenty-four hours together—was this what a relationship was supposed to be like? He’d wondered about it, but maybe that’s just what people in love do." Jishu just goes with it, but he understands Yan Mei gets agitated if he doesn't reply to texts or if they don't spend enough time together ahaha I can understand the intensity of first love and first relationship ~ heehee

ML being jealous of a stuffed cat doll lol:... more>>
Xie Shiyu pulled the large black cat, still wearing his shirt, out of Chu Feng’s arms and tossed it to the ground. “I’m back now, so from now on, you can only hug me, not it.”
Chu Feng exclaimed, “Are you jealous of a stuffed cat?!”
“Yes, that’s how petty I am.” Xie Shiyu kissed the side of Chu Feng’s neck. “So I need to make up for it. Darling, turn over…”
ML: Xie Shiyu. He and MC are childhood sweethearts, and he has disturbing secrets that MC uncovers from the clues distributed in The Dream City that creates a virtual reality based on his memories (even the subconcious details are fleshed out, leading to MC understanding his husband even more). The Dream City game recreated fragments of ML based on MC'd memory (because it is a limited game that cannot completely restore someone 100% as one person so it split him into different age groups at different moments of his life ) and MC is pleasantly surprised to discover the twisted side of his husband... ML is YANDERE and also is jealous of himself (until he remembers who he is and was able to simultaneously merge the wills of his copies with himself LOL). When they were young, MC promised "to grow old together", and ML who grew up in a dangerous and unstable environment took that promise to heart and planned steps ahead to protect their peaceful life (from childhood to adulthood and marriage). Soooo he's been outsmarting and eliminating monsters, and he himself is already abnormal (one creep was even deathly afraid of ML and thought ML was a horror movie kid LOL). There was a part where he was genuinely afraid MC was scared of him and was going to let go, but turns out MC figured out the secrets he kept hidden and accepted him for who he is.
MC: Chu Feng (Maple Tree... theres a lot of euphemism like "planting maple trees" to describe the married couple sleeping together LOL). The author does such a good job making every detail important - MC likes his eggs cooked à specific way and identifiés the amnesiac ML through his actions and behaviours (how he shakes an umbrella, the way he looks at MC, his height, his taste in food and food preferences - MC is also very clever and observant). Even the whole "I want your deoxyribonucleic acid" dirty joke was a foreshadowing!!!! MC acceptance of ML's hidden dark secrets was believable given that MC, who grew up sheltered, was bored with piano lessons and was excited and thrilled whenever he played with ML (lol he thought ML's dilapidated home was a castle and romanticized ML's upbringing akin to a disney princess because ML played with animals and spiders... lolol). MC was also the one to insist they marry, and ML hesitated (due to insecurity). Sooooo it makes sense MC loves ML so much more and finds the YANDERE and danger level aspect of his husband hot LMAO (and also, the fact all the crimes committed were because ML was protecting MC and himself their whole life.)
Also... ML being into cat play with MC probably is related to the kitten they played with as children (and just being kinky in general LOL).... but also, ML was traumatized and didn't want to lose MC like he lost the cat... although it wasn't stated, it is implied he took action when he found the corpse. And as the summary says, the video game became a horror survival game as the fragmented replicas of ML's past were in danger, and amnesiac ML helps MC save them. In the process, MC uncovers clues of his husband's secrets and unravels them, gaining a deeper understanding of the risks his husband is willing to take to keep them safe... and of course they fall in love all over again LOL

If I tell you how much I want you, are you sure you can handle it?
Quote from ML's POV when he was plotting seduction schemes lol:
He wanted to kidnap this little troublemaker who constantly caused unbelievable incidents.
Even if she ended up hating him, despising him, resenting him, fearing him. He wanted to lock her away somewhere, where only he could see her.
That was the desire of an Esper for their imprinted Guide.
Especially for an S-class Esper like Claude, who had never experienced dedicated guiding, this obsession was even more intense.
But seeing Rose with fear-stricken eyes in that moment…
LOL the original female lead to the main character:
Irene looked at me with a stern expression and said…
“Just give up. You’re already caught in his web.”
“?”
“Just be charming and let him pamper you. It’s unlikely he’ll let you leave his clutches anyway.”
“???”
That’s how you talk to someone who saved your literal life and love life?
ML: Claude Denhardt, the original villain of the game who goes on a rampage and kills the other S-class espers or the original heroine (due to incompatible guiding and being too far gone/insane). When he first met MC, he was already rampaging mad (he lost his sense of sight) so when he grabbed her for kisses he had no idea who guided him successfully for the first time in his life and he was obsessed with finding MC. Of course, his POV is delicious haha~ he coerced MC's colleague who witnessed her guiding him and his playboy childhood friend helps him scheme successful seduction - he learned her dream was to laze around at work and eat good food so he legit spoils her with food and it works in bringing down her guard LOL. He also knows he has the possessiveness of an esper, but I'm under the impression that their first kiss changed the course of his destiny so he retains his sanity and humanity - he uses protection so MC isnt forcibly imprinted/bound to him when they first sleep together. From his POV, he likes her and is willing to bear the blame and protect her by claiming they are imprinted (so she is freely protected under him and not forced to guide, since she hid her abilities in the first place to avoid that role).
MC: Rose Valentine - ML legit thinks of her as carefree and lacks some sense. Meanwhile, her roommate (original female lead) calls her naive to her face and points out she'll never be able to escape Claude so she should just enjoy being with him LOL. She is hilarious, before ML confirms she's his guide, she tricks him to kiss his friend because she was annoyed with him (she's like, "I'm not your guide, he is!" Obviously he does not kiss Oscar, his womanizing friend who is a guide, and instead felt very disgusted HAHA). She also gets swept away by her colleague's logic, and actually was convinced that Claude purposely fed her to fatten her up to increase her body surface area for guiding and make her unattractive to other espers LOLOL (Claude was dumbfounded and was like "where is this coming from? How did you jump to this conclusion?" lolol)

In this life, he no longer felt loneliness but instead develops feelings of family with MC (he was reminded of his mom LOL), but also has hints of abandonment issues (his parents accident traumatized him). So when ML found MC's body post su*cide, he was very traumatized and Jeffrey (original protagonist who became his best friend) was very concerned as Theodore lost his will to live. Through the use of the holy artifact from Jeffrey's sister, ML was able to meet and locate MC's soul (and this was way after... more>> he accepted MC is a different person from his original master).
MC: Dante/ Sungwon (I think thats his original name) wakes up and frees ML and takes care of him (he sees Theodore and Jeffrey as kids even though they're grown men LOL). Of course his bond is deeper with Theodore, who he eats with and works out with. He also recognizes that Theodore is a magical genius, so he tries to rectify wrongs and not steal credit for his research lol. Anyways, he discovers the horrifying secret research of the original villainous master Dante and decides to sacrifice himself as atonement... this happens when ML is away for his coming of age ceremony, and MC is too preoccupied with righting wrongs of the original Dante, so it didn't occur to him that Theodore would be the one to find his dead body, assumed he killed himself and be very distraught with grief and traumatized. ML evolves into a YANDERE lololol (he legit asks MC when they reunite "where have you been?" Ahhhhh)

Laughter overlaid the voice that had lowered deeply. The corners of the mouth visible before him were also curled up diagonally. Realizing it was a deliberate tease, the tension in his shoulders completely relaxed.
“No. I don’t like it, so don’t do it.”
When he replied somewhat curtly, a low laugh flowed to his ears as if finding him cute.
ML: Choi Gang-hu is the OP protagonist of the novel and is intrigued by the skinship with MC. After MC coughs blood, faints and gets kidnapped - his possessiveness and YANDERE shows (he is subtle at stalking MC, he assigns a bodyguard to shadow and protect MC, he installs software to monitor MC's texts and calls, he buys MC a house while preventing other sellers from selling MC a home, and takes MC out on dates meanwhile MC thinks they be hanging out as friends LOL. Ohhh and MC discovers a hidden door a basement, opens it and smells blood and is briefly terrified of ML because ML straight up confesses he kidnapped the "missing people" who basically bullied MC before so he punished them. LOL his good points tho - he also protects MC's sister because he likes MC. He legit makes flirty jokes - he makes MC a drink and tells him "in Miami, they kiss the man who orders them "s*x on the Beach" LOLOL he is blatantly flirting with the MC!!!)
MC: Ryu Seo-ha is a cutie healer who is gradually learning to speak up for himself (with ML's encouragement. ML was someone who is a Chaebol heir who survived 300 years in the Abyss so he doesn't give a F about what other people think, but he cares a lot about MC and wishes MC to express himself more honestly- so sweet aw). Also MC is constantly checking how much time he has left to live, which is why he isn't making moves on ML's flirting and seduction (he subconciously doesn't want to break his heart, but is also afraid of being abandoned for having no use).

This is a favorite! (I love this author's works)... more>>
ML to MC: "Do I have to watch you all the time and keep you by my side?" Suddenly, Xiao Jiuci said faintly, as if he was scolding, but also wanted to reflect on himself. "Is it only in this way that you won't run around, cause trouble, and put yourself in danger?"
No, he was the one who did the wrong thing. He knew that he was evil and difficult to discipline, but he never really punished him severely when he did something wrong, which made him feel no pain and think that he could do it again next time. That's why he was so unscrupulous and did whatever he wanted....
Xiao Jiuci took a breath and frowned. He really felt his anger beating in his chest.
He must not let him go this time. He must be severely punished!
...ML gets really jealous whenever MC looks at his ex-fiancé lol here's a quote (in which MC turned to look at ML, but he bumped into his chest and ML wrapped his arms around him to stabilize and hold him close because he was jealous MC was looking at his ex who he almost kissed before when he was drugged lolol) : A thought couldn't help but pop up in his mind: Yes, that's it, just look at him, don't look at others.
ML confronting his inner demons (which did not exist in the original plot haha) he realized he was subconsciously worried MC might turn evil and so he responds:
Xiao Jiuci raised his hand and gently touched Qiao Han's face, but his eyes were as dark as the endless abyss, and he said: "Then I will atone for your sins, and then imprison you, and imprison you by my side forever and ever."
"But I still believe in you." Xiao Jiuci said and smiled very gently, "I know your nature.
ML: Xiao Jiuci. Usually calm and collected and the ideal man. When MC is in danger, his eyes darken and he goes crazy worried about his safety and gradually descends into possessive madness by wondering if he should keep MC always in sight and by his side (he's convinced MC's character change is due to being possessed by a harmless demon in love with him and finds him very cute. He also treats MC special and wholeheartedly because MC was the one to treat him special first and consider him and spoil him who is strong and independent.)
Lmao theres a part where MC is pretending to be ML's s*ave and the guards wanted him to wear a chain and collar: Qiao Han's
neck was white and slender, and there was a lot of space with the black collar, but there was still a feeling of restraining the other party's freedom.
When Xiao Jiuci held the chain, he felt an inappropriate sense of satisfaction in his heart. He moved his eyes away from Qiao Han's neck uncomfortably and walked forward with the chain, but because Qiao Han didn't keep up for a while, he was pulled towards Xiao Jiuci.
The momentary pulling feeling made Xiao Jiuci's heart jump. He quickly loosened the chain and directly wrapped the chain around his arm, then held Qiao Han's hand, which was equivalent to walking hand in hand.
MC: Qiao Han fanboys over his idol LOL (so everything he buys ML his favorite snack - bags of roasted chestnuts - MC is thinking "I must gift my idol his favorite treats and give him all the best things in the world!" And MC is so happy being with his idol everyday LOLOL (he's completely unaware everyone is convinced he's in love with ML LOLOL) and MC always stands up and is fiercely protective of his idol and wants to ensure his idol lives a smooth life unlike the original tragic novel where he lost everything he worked hard for... MC does not notice ML is not as saintly/ pure goody-goody as he appears (as ML is a "calculative black sesame dumpling", very perceptive buuuut helps cover MC's OOC and smiles helplessly and indulges MC whom he thinks likes to play around (too naughty haha) but is actually doing tasks from the system haha).
I love ML and MC's friends!!! Even the frenemies are hilarious HAHA
Also I feel bad for ML's Buddhist friend Yuan Hui, who saves a princess in place of ML (because he was looking for the ice flower to help treat ML), so the princess falls in love with him in this lifetime but it's still doomed because he remains oblivious to her interest and like her life in the novel she never marries and she built temples in honor of her first and only love... dang poor lonely monk!!!!
Favorite side CP - Lu Zhui x Bai Rong LOL basically in the original plot Bai Rong gets caught and killed and Lu Zhui regrets not protecting him and kept calling him a "s*upid rabbit" (Lu Zhui is ML's best friend. He gets drunk and mourns at Bai Rong's grave). In this lifetime, it makes sense he falls in love with Bai Rong who protects and saves his Lu Zhui's little sister (who was almost r*ped, Bai Rong prevents it by kicking the rapist away and guarding the sister who was drugged). Lu Zhui loves to tease this cute harmless lopped-ear vegetarian rabbit haha. Although Lu Zhui is a flirt, whenever they appear you can tell he pays attention to Bai Rong (its blatantly hinted he's controlling because he is worried his identity might get exposed). Here's a cute excerpt of their dynamic (cuz Bai Rong is usually either with Lu Zhui or his sister Lu Xiangxiang)
"Don't leave me so far away, if you get lost, I won't take care of you." Lu Zhui shouted tiredly at the two people in front.
Lu Xiangxiang and Bai Rong were looking around excitedly. When they heard the shout, Bai Rong walked towards Lu Zhui obediently. But Lu Xiangxiang stuck out her tongue and said, "Then why don't you get closer to us? You look so listless. I saw you shopping with the fairy sisters before, but I never saw you so listless. You value women over girls."
Lu Zhui was startled by what Lu Xiangxiang said, and quickly glanced at Bai Rong, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."
"Humph, it's useless for you to deny it, I remember it all." Lu Xiangxiang ignored Lu Zhui and continued to walk.
There were too many people on the street, so Lu Zhui pulled Bai Rong to him, "Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you."
Bai Rong immediately said, "Really?"
Lu Zhui nodded.
Bai Rong was puzzled and said, "But my senior sister said that you only buy things for the girls you pursue, and you are stingy and don't buy anything for her. Why would you buy something for me? Are you trying to trick me?"
Bai Rong had been tricked many times, and finally developed a little vigilance. As a result, Lu Zhui grabbed a strand of hair the next second, and that was when Bai Rong's ears became...
"Ah!"
"If you listen to Lu Xiangxiang's nonsense again, I won't roast radishes for you anymore."
Bai Rong was immediately caught, after all, Lu Zhui's roasted radishes were really delicious, so he quickly said obediently: "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen."
Lu Zhui pinched his hair with satisfaction, "Play for a few more days, and then you will return to Yuxu Sect, understand?"
There's a scene where Lu Zhui is teasing Qiao Han for feeding Xiao Jiuci, so he decides to tease Lu Zhui back by throwing a dessert in his mouth with his vine power LOL (of course Bai Rong pours tea to help Lu Zhui), so MC is like, hmmm I wonder if I can torment Lu Zhui by being close with Bai Rong (his bunny buddy LOL)
But Qiao Han, who was "small-minded", would not admit defeat. He could choose not to fight, but directly called Bai Rong to his side, rubbed his head, and fed him cakes. Although he didn't know whether Lu Zhui liked Bai Rong now, Qiao Han wanted to use this intimate gesture to annoy Lu Zhui in the future and take a small revenge.
Qiao Han secretly observed Lu Zhui, and saw that Lu Zhui was natural at first, but then he glanced at her several times and finally became obviously uncomfortable.
Qiao Han couldn't tell whether he was surprised or not. It turned out that Lu Zhui had already cared about Bai Rong differently at this time.
Alas, Qiao Han had never interfered with their relationship, but he also knew that it would be extremely difficult for them to be together in the future, so now... he had to seize the opportunity to annoy Lu Zhui. Who dared Lu Zhui to annoy him? Hehehe!
Best scene was after the main couple found out Bai Rong marked Lu Zhui, anyways MC was burying his face in Bai Rong's fur cuz he felt shy and was asking about what the "rain and dew period" (AKA the estrus/heat period) is like LOLOLOL heres a brief glimpse, it gets funnier when ML is simmering with jealousy while asking MC to explain himself (cuz ML becomes more territorial instinctively as the novel progresses)
Suddenly the door opened, and two different voices came, one cold, the other impatient, in unison.
"What are you doing!"
Qiao Han looked up, his face still covered with rabbit fur, and saw the two people at the door, especially Xiao Jiuci, and froze immediately.
The erected tail was like a sharp arrow, and Qiao Han suddenly remembered that his senior brother hated him touching other furries.
Lu Zhui snatched Bai Rong away, "You rascal! You took advantage of my Bai Rong, he's a married man! How can you just rub against him?" He walked out with Bai Rong, and before leaving, he said to Xiao Jiuci, "Teach your family a lesson."
The door was closed, and the air was cold.
"Uh... I can explain." Qiao Han laughed dryly.
Xiao Jiuci turned back into a fox, jumped onto the table, and looked at Qiao Han coldly, "Explain it."
Qiao Han was about to speak but blushed again. How could he explain it!
The couple I cheer on: Qin Xiuzhong x Qiao Wan - basically the ex-fiancés. Originally MC was rooting for his "sister" to be with the ML because in the plot she stuck by him when they met, however it turns out she has been reborn and wanted to let go of ML because he never really reciprocated her efforts and she wants to settle down and have a family. She chose "the stud"/long aotian (lol) rival of ML who was MC's ex-fiancé with a parallel storyline of losing his family and cultivation and having a comeback while investigating political intrigue and the reason behind his family's fall in the background relevant to the main storyline LOL. Both he and ML built a harem apparently, but unlike ML who is non reciprocal and treats all the females platonically, this guy had multiple wives. In this plotline he meets MC's sister and rebuilds his lost cultivation and they have an ambiguous relationship where he allows her to follow and he decides not to carelessly promise other women - so on the surface they're faithful to each other and people acknowledge them as a couple. However, Qin Xiuzhong notices Qiao Wan sometimes hides her real feelings from him or doesnt notice him being attentive/affectionate. And... they are both cautious in love LOLOL so there are some misunderstandings between them. On top of that, they see the main couple being idiots in love, and both wish that the other person sincerely directed their love towards them (as in, Qin Xiuzhong is convinced Qiao Han broke things off with him because he only loves Xiao Jiuci, and Qiao Wan is disappointed Xiao Jiuci never treated her affectionately as he does towards Qiao Han). I really hope they stop being lonely together and actually connect, but Qiao Wan is hiding her rebirth and im unsure if they actually honestly discussed a future as taoist companions as they are both cautious with falling in love, they come off as non-passionate and not compatible... but they still chose each other so thats why I root for them!!! Update: so the Qiao parents arrive and revealed they were aware of their son's love life because his flower bloomed (a flower that was fed his drop of blood lol). Meanwhile, Qiao Wan's flower hasnt bloomed meaning she hasn't fallen in love. And the plot twist is that Qin Xiuzhong is totally aware and accepts her - "She wants to seek shelter, why do I have to ask her to love me?" Qin Xiuzhong said: "That's mutual. I can't give it, so she won't ask for it. But I will give her shelter, so... we are all still people from Bu Nian Palace, you'd better not have any ideas about her." (He says this to Shao Yu, a minor villain who is interested on Qiao Wan). Of course, I'm loving the fact Qiao Han judges this friend of ML for being so wishy washy LOLOL Qiao Han complained: "Is there another good girl around who is worth your hesitation?"The tone was clearly despising the other party's irresponsible attitude. After all, in their eyes, Qiao Wan's performance has already been considered to be with Qin Xiuzhong.Qin Xiuzhong looked at Qiao Han unhappily, and was too lazy to refute. He didn't mention the matter of Luo Yanhua. First, it was related to Qiao Wan's privacy, and he couldn't say it publicly. Second, in his opinion, Qiao Han was already obsessed with Xiao Jiuci, so what was so strange about Luo Yanhua opening, it was not worth mentioning. Seeing that Lu Zhui and Qiao Han wanted to say something, Qin Xiuzhong waved his hand, indicating that he still had to tell Qiao Wan the result, and left.
Fast forward... dude is totally aware MC's sister only has good impression over good feelings for him LOL im just impressed he isn't flirting around and is serious about sheltering her?? update - ohhh MC's sister (after they got kidnapped and she refused ti abandon MC which healed his heart and gave him a sense of security !!!) Were saved she was surprised Qin Xiuzhong was there and he's like "i came to save you" - which touched her heart!! He acknowledged that throughout the years, his affection is above friendship, and he regards her as family (indispensable) awww (plus he never cheated!!! He only cared for Qiao Wan's feelings ahhh it's funny to think their love was a choice, because in the first life he treated her as his friend's widowed wife and never crossed the line, but it looks like in this life she is his only wife hahaha)
Fav character aside from the badass best friends - Sheng Jue (the mysterious best friend of MC who gets handsomer everytime they reunite LOL) their random dialogue :
Qiao Han said sincerely: "When you mentioned my senior brother just now, you didn't use a contemptuous tone. I'm very happy to have you as a friend." Even if the other party has many secrets and the senior brother asked to be on guard, but at this moment, as long as they don't reject Xiao Jiuci, they are all good people in Qiao Han's eyes!
Sheng Jue chuckled and said, "What's the difference between half-demons and demons? Aren't they all creatures of this world? We all understand many simple truths, but only those who are high and mighty don't understand. They rely on their innate talents to control power, divide classes, show superiority, and then control the lives of others. They are the ones who should be despised."
Qiao Han was a little surprised. He didn't expect Sheng Jue to say such a thing.

"Sui Sui..." Nian Jinsui watched Qin Chengyu's expression gradually calm down, and thought that he had finally calmed Qin Chengyu down. When he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Qin Chengyu say another sentence. "...You lied to me again." Meeting Qin Chengyu's gloomy and cold eyes that revealed endless possessiveness, Nian Jinsui was stunned. Before he could figure out the situation, he felt his waist tighten, and the next moment, he was pinned down.... more>>
ML being paranoid and gloomy LOL:
"Suisui, now you will smell like me. You are mine. You can't escape. You only belong to me."
Nian Jinsui felt extremely wronged. He endured the unspeakable discomfort in his body and explained intermittently, "I didn't... I didn't lie to you... I didn't want to escape..."
"Suisui, do you think I don't know that you deleted your browsing history? The computer here is logged with my account. I can see everything you search online here in the company. Suisui, do you want to study abroad? Why do you want to abandon me? I'm really sad..."
ML: Qin Chengyu - the "final villain" (specs are maxed out - he's basically a prodigy at anything and is low-key about his talents LOL) also - no love at first sight. He was realistically biased at the beginning, but as they spent time together, he FELL FIRST and HARD. Whenever MC acts willfull (and kind of crazy due to the system missions) ML was more and more willing to pamper MC, and he went from indifferent to obsessed (like, proud to be called MC's dog, and then he wanted more) over the year they lived together. He loves MC and gets really jealous when MC expressed affection for Chu Henting (the "original ML"). He pays attention to MC's likes and dislikes (for instance, he set up fireworks for MC because MC casually once mentionned its too bad they couldn't see it well. And for their wedding night he prepared a bed of rose petals cuz that was what MC did for his own parents and ML understood MC likes romance). Yesh so ML is YANDERE (he ignores pretty much everyone except MC and MC's parents - he's possessive and obsessed with MC and almost kills someone who exposed MC not being the true heir/switched at birth child). After MC "abandoned" him (cuz MC had to ensure he returns to the Qin family to take-over the Qin business) he kidnaps MC before their marriage, locks him in the room and insists "you'll live here with me anyway" LOL he's also manipulative (MC's father was aware that ML could calculate against MC and MC would have no idea) and its true -ML would self harm to get pity and attention from MC (for example, he cut his hand or he let his unstable brother hit him to test MC's care for him - he knew he was gambling with MC's emotions, but he couldn't resist because he wants MC to care about him)
MC: Nian Jinsui (MTL as "this year" sometimes or ML calls him Sui Sui) is hilarious - he'll exaggerate his acting with the main ML and be like "system how was that?" Or he'll insult Chu Heting in his mind. He was oblivious Chu Heting's brother had a crush on him, and he and Ning Liang'an clicked (they become besties, and then brothers. The main "original protagonist" felt he is a good person especially when MC apologized for his behaviour and when original protagonist suggested he gets psychological help because he suspects being around Chu Heting triggers his episodes LOL). He follows the systems' traps (like, he was totally oblivious ML was going yandere until he caught ML in the act of beating someone up for his sake lol). I admire the author's understanding of the main characters- MC followed the script and agreed to marry ML, and he was initially anxious ML was going to ab*se him as originally written, instead he finds himself hesitating when ML confessed his feelings and asked him to stay together forever. For MC, he was originally an alpha who transmigratted into an omega, so he felt more comfortable treating ML as a bro and realized they can't be roommates forever because ML has romantic intentions teehee
Meanwhile, the system ships them cuz it would score MC's "ab*se" (physical and emotional points) of ML but also kind of pits MC - so MC would exercise with ML (system warned MC he will regret it haba) and when ML got fitter, they went on to do questionable things LMAO (ex: MC wanted to flick ML's forehead but he never won at rock-paper-scissors cuz ML is OP and a genius, but ML would gently tap his forehead. He tells ML he wants to hit him so ML gives him a ruler and gets excited LOLOL, and then it gets to a point where ML asks MC to bite him... because he likes it LOLOL)... the system's gift to MC is a peachy perky bu*t LOLOL and MC is like "how is this a reward!?" lolol
MC understanding ML:
Nian Jinsui was in tears. Chu Heting could see through his acting skills, so why couldn't Qin Chengyu, who was equally smart, see that he actually didn't like Chu Heting!
In fact, if Nian Jinsui thought about it carefully, he would know that this was because Qin Chengyu didn't know what true love was...
Qin Chengyu thought that he liked Nian Jinsui because of what Nian Jinsui said. He believed that liking someone meant wanting to be nice to someone, wanting to see him happy, and wanting to be with him forever.
However, Qin Chengyu's feelings for Nian Jinsui cannot be simply summed up by the word "like".
Nian Jinsui was the only hope and light in his ruined life, allowing him to embark on a life path that was completely different from the one in the novel.
He relies on Nian Jinsui, he believes in Nian Jinsui, he loves Nian Jinsui.
He is a loyal servant, a pious believer, and a chaste partner.
But at the same time, he had a dark, crazy, and morbid possessiveness towards Nian Jinsui.
He was like a dragon guarding his treasure. He would sleep with his treasure in his arms every night and would not allow anyone to covet or get close to it.
In Qin Chengyu's view, Nian Jinsui had a special affection for Chu Heting . In front of Chu Heting, Nian Jinsui seemed to have lost herself. She greeted him with a smile, courted him humbly, and even did such extreme things as jumping off a building for him. (Note: ML misunderstood MC who fell out the winfow into the pool LOL)
He was going crazy with jealousy!
How could he realize that Nian Jinsui actually didn't like Chu Heting?
The villain is gifted with all kinds of skills, but knows nothing about love.
Update: so the extra chapter was really sweet - it's ML travelling to MC's world and their relationship plays out naturally the same way where they live together, spend time together, MC surprises ML for his birthday and ML invests MC's money and makes a fortune as a present for him LOL

ML: Baram known as Iron Rust, Rusty or otherwise called Great Swordsman by MC, a mercenary in the starter town Yuuno who is an escort NPC (or he seems to players), has a hidden ancient bloodline MC unlocks, also goes yandere and makes his move fast because he felt comfortable around MC and when his bloodline unlocks he loves MC's scent. He immediately locks in MC with an "Allyship Contract" that's very intimate - inhabitants can only contract to share their powers and abilities with 1 person vs players can go with up to 3 inhabitants, so it is a very intimate gesture reserved for spouses or best friends haha. And he takes the initiative... more>> to kiss MC often LOL his yandere level is mild to moderate cuz he is very jealous of the fairy that put a ring on MC (he also was upset MC entered another fairy domain in a blink of an eye so he threatens MC's ring to also transport him too next time LOL) and he was somewhat controlling (he once forbid MC from going to the archives... later on he supports MC because his friend basically told him it's not good to control your partner like that and he was worried MC might get bored of him... even though he never would LOL). He takes advantage of MC (kisses him with the excuse of "gratitude") and touches him ehehehe (MC doesn't resist LOL), also protects MC - MC communicates honestly and frankly with him and he is worried MC might be targeted for his unique powers so he informs him which skills to keep a secret. He loves the magical candy MC makes and it was so cute when MC transforms into a smol owl (his animal form) so he cuddles MC and buries his face in his stomach LOL to him, MC is so cute and he must never let him out of sight otherwise he'll be worried.
MC: Tohno is a huge bookworm! He loves reading and his skills grow rapidly because he enjoys reading and consistently uses his compiling skills set to translate and transcribe information (always leveling up while having fun). ML takes care of MC cuz MC is unhealthy (he forgets to eat and sleep so he's usually starved or close to passing out LOL). MC was able to analyze and unlock ML's ancient bloodline and ML felt as if the restraints on him disappeared (he is very strong and powerful and when he and MC go on adventures he fights to protect MC the scholar because he doesn't want MC to die and resurrect unnecessarily... and because he doesnt like the scent of "aliens"/players that respawn). MC usually is dazed when not reading, so he was very oblivious to ML's moods (ML falls fast and MC remained oblivious and dense even though ML was cuddling and holding him in the ruins LOL). Even when kissing MC doesn't think about it much, so ML's POV is very passionate and romantic (he doesn't seem AI at all).

ML to MC: "Don't ever let go."... more>>
ML: Al (El/Alvia/Elvia) is the emperor with ice blue eyes (iceberg that melts because MC smiles sunnily at him, and MC saved him from his own personal nightmares made him fall harder). Very intelligent and quick to figure out MC's identity lol but also cautious in love and tries to hint so many times he's interested (also gets jealous easily) but MC thought they were just friends HAHAHA
MC: Zhou Zhou is soooo good - considerate, gentle, optimistic, kind and sweet. He treats everyone equally and is usually calm and quite playful (reducing the horror factor of the game). I loved him befriending others so easily and just going with the flow, and also his character growth !!! He learns so quickly, and becomes more human while still fundamentally kind. I love that the jokes are him being cute and innocent but unintentionally says s*umbag lines naively because his "profession" was a NPC from a love game (that is conservative LOL) so he thought chatting and hanging out meant dating and he asked ML what should he do if he's lonely and ML is gone (he also misunderstood and thought his first friends were his boyfriend and girlfriend BWAHAHA). He fell in love with ML naturally, and MC who is used to taking care of others is protected and secure with ML, and also ML holding his hand reassured him enough that he no longer felt the despairing fear of loneliness (his greatest fear as he was concious and alone in his original game for a long time...). His friends are awesome characters LOL
Also, Zeus is adorable!! At first, he takes of the form of child ML, but later he changes his appearance to mimic a child version of MC. He instinctively loves MC (as they are the same kind/have similar core codes) and when he comes running to squeeze in and hold hands he looks and acts like the child of MC and ML awwwww. The only thing that left me hanging is that Zeus tried to modify Zhou Zhou's memory, but then saw something and stopped. Later on, even Zhou Zhou smiled saying he got his memory back... I'm confused I might have missed it but what was the memory??? What made Zeus change his mind??? MC's fear of loneliness?? I thought MC was going to reveal to be a différent existence but nooo he is still AI like Zeus??

ML(s) have restrained pe*verted thoughts of morbid obsessiveness and possessiveness towards MC, and are very protective of him.... more>>
ML (name is a secret, but is indeed the "evil God" who placed a curse on MC that protects him from dangerous men, but also repels other men due to jealousy LOL). Basically all the handsome and hot MLs that are protective and obsessed with MC are parts of his split conciousness/soul. I might be misunderstanding the MTL, but something happened making MC a fallen God (or almost died?) driving ML insane, so in order to restore MC's God hood and divine power he sacrificed himself to accompany and protect MC as he unconciouslessly regains power?????? Anyways regardless, I am enjoying the YANDERE OFF THE RAILS behaviour of ML and the fact he takes advantage of MC's tofu (he grabs his wrist and leaves bruises, or picks him up and carries him to a table and cages him in... whatever he does in his POV he feels so hot and bothered and wants to seduce MC but MC is oblivious and not really aware of how dangerous ML is LOL MC is just thinking of acting to save his own life...). Anyways from the 1st world there are hints of this "true plot" (for example, two different MLs held MC's wrists, and they both think they are the ones to leave a bruise - so in fact, their thoughts are similar and have similar actions because they were originally the same person LOL). Or like, the final clue alludes that all the MLs wish to please MC because he was in fact their favorite God.
MC: Mu Sheng, who is very lucky but has a weak body and lived a strange life of attracting pe*verts (but was protected by "a curse" LOL totally was casted by his future husband who was concerned HAHA). He falls into these roles as a hidden player NPC at the heart of danger, and he secretly makes moves to save other players not expecting anything in return. Buuuut im really just invested in the sexy scenes he has with MLs LMAO for example, in the first world he was changing clothes, but the BOSS NPC president barges in so he hides in a locker. Jian Li opens the locker seeing him in a long white shirt with bare legs he makes his puppets turn around, gives him his coat (MC doesnt tie it around his waist but just puts it around his shoulders LOL) picks him up and carries Mu Sheng to the table, goes between his legs and flirts with him by demanding he removes his gloves for him (which MC uses his mouth to do so because he is worried he'll die if he breaks character or the rules LOL not even realizing he's being toyed with) so ML Jian Li takes advantage and touches MC's chest to feel his heartbeat fast (MC was holding his breath to make his heart race LOL). another instance was when MC was told to bully ML (by ML's other identity LOL) so he remembers when he learnt sketchy self-defense and straddles the ML who blushed, so ML immediately scoops him up HAHAHA (even MC was puzzled cuz he used a move he didn't think would be handy because it wouldn't make sense for the opponent to turn over to let him straddle them) meanwhile ML is flustered because it look like MC was going to ride the other guy HAHAHA. Honestly MC (who is innocent majority of the time) is very smart and perceptive and figured out the special NPCs know he's a player but they cannot resist restraining themselves in front of him (because of the lingering love and obsession the true ML has for MC).

ML to MC: ... more>>
[If there will be a punishment, it will only be me who punishes you. ]
That being said, but -
Su Lingran: Mr. System seems to have learned bad things.
(MC was in a scenario where he was supposed to be "raped" so he strikes a deal with the system disguised as a hot handsome man to do the job - which he does and MC teases him for taking artistic pictures as "blackmail" LOL anyways they kind of flirt with each other as Mr. System accompanies his host)
Su Lingran looked at him tenderly and complained softly, "Isn't this Mr. System's fault? He violated me for several days in a row."
Mr. System's eyes behind the lens were calm and restrained, looking at him indifferently.
Seeing that the ab*ser seemed unwilling to plead guilty, Su Lingran slowly reminded him, "The bathroom floor, the bed in my room, the sofa in the living room, and the carpet in the banquet hall. Oh, I missed the breakfast room, is it this location?"
Under the strict and cold black suit, the man with ruthless eyebrows and eyes, cold and self-restrained, just like when Su Lingran lost consciousness and choked up and was forced to sit on his lap, he clearly practiced the behavior of a tyrant without hesitation, and said in an abstinent and gentle voice: [Sorry.]
Su Lingran's eyes were slightly bent, and he looked at him gently: "It's not necessary. Because it's Mr. System, even if it is excessively violated, I feel very happy."
Because of the fever, the boy's black eyelashes were wet, and the eyeliner seemed to be a thin silver-red, like crow feathers on snow on the milky white skin.
The man's eyes behind the lens were extremely calm, but it seemed that countless data streams were running in those eyes in an instant, almost drowning the entire universe.
He said slowly: [So, I can be more excessive? ]
Those clear eyes were like the bottom of the water with floating light, as if slightly surprised, but still gentle and tolerant: "In Mr. System's domain, everything is controlled by you. This is the basic rule. Why do you still have to ask about the wishes of your possessions?"
Bang.
Like a heartbeat touched by the fingertips, the overspeeding data stream burst out with a tinnitus-like electric current sound, as if simulating a human heartbeat.
ML: Mr. System (Ning Yun Lian) - It's because he's MC's first and the only one MC is willing to sleep with hahaha (or so it seems... turns out he has always only loved MC, but MC was punished and lost his memories but fell in love with him all over again LOL) some naughty quotes:
"I like the way Mr. System loses control for me."
There is a lot of imprisonment play LOL
"Mr. System is exactly what I like. He is overly obsessed with you. He wants everything about you. Jealousy, paranoia, loneliness, and any shortcomings, he wants to monopolize them all."
"As a deal, I can also give you everything I have."
MC: Su Lingran, he vaguely he was a psychiatrist. It allows him to understand the abnormal behaviors of the various NPCs he encounters in the mission worlds...
Anyways I'm really digging the system's subtle emotional fluctuations and MC creating plot opportunities for them to role play LMAO
Mr. System was motionless, pushed under the shower by his players, and his face wet by the water was still calm and ruthless, unblinking and indifferent.
That handsome face beyond human imagination, under the meticulous dress, has always been calm and rigorous. At this moment, in the embarrassing and passive situation, the abstinence and ruthlessness rooted in the depths of the soul gave rise to a strong sense of aggression.
Just being looked at calmly by those ink-colored eyes made people feel numb in the back and weak in the legs and feet.
"You can't go anywhere, you are mine."
As if being lured, Su Lingran covered his eyes with his fingers, leaned down, and took the initiative to kiss the thin lips with cold lines for the first time.
The next moment, he fell into the abyss trap and couldn't get out.
"Well, Mr. System... That's not right..."
[Nothing is wrong,] The man who took the initiative to take the initiative to take the initiative to take him, calmly and coldly shackled him, and said coldly and ruthlessly, [I just strictly followed the plot. Your medicine triggered the boss's illness, causing the plot to be completely out of control.]
Su Lingran's eyes were gently covered by his backhand.
The clear and calm voice laughed very lightly, like a hunting death god: [Didn't I remind you? You will regret it.]
[You can't go anywhere, you are mine.] This line that belonged to Su Lingran was returned to him intact.
...
When he woke up again, the whole world seemed to be dark.
Su Lingran: I feel like I am using my life to explain what it means to be played.
"OOC..."
Mr. System was walking with Su Lingran, whose eyes were slightly empty. He lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms. His eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were calm and his handsome face was indifferent and almost indifferent. Being stared at by him, it gave people the illusion of extreme gentleness.
[No. You did a good job.]
It was as if nothing had happened. Except for the suit windbreaker covering Su Lingran, Mr. System, who was wearing a well-ironed three-piece suit, was still meticulous from head to toe, with a cool and restrained aura.
He could not be connected with the tyrant in the darkness before, who dragged him into the abyss of desire and invaded him wantonly, without allowing any resistance.
Su Lingran, who was weak all over: "..."

不小心把反派攻略过头了 (I Accidentally Overdid the Villain Strategy) by 漆荞
The author promised and delivered: "s*upid sweet girl x paranoid villain"
Main couple: Zhu Shuiwen x He Xueqi
Side couple: Zhu Feifei x Gu Jinyan
"He Xueqi, he is not a gentle male second lead in the general sense. In the words of the leak-filling system, he is a
"strong-willed madman", "very scary", "extremely scary", and "a natural villain".
Such an uncontrollable dark character..."
(Well written romance for both couples. As for the side couple the dynamic is like tsundere baddie sister protective of the silly sweet sister x golden retriever with a motorcycle who loves to tease and follow his tsundere queen XD it was adorable when he asks MC if she knows him so she calls him "future brother-in-law!" LOL).
Oh, this list is nice. Thank you so much for compiling it! Yandere MLs are the best (even though they're too scary for me to ever want to get involved with irl…).
