Taking Someone by Force, but the Wrong Person

Qin You transmigrates into a novel as an overbearing villain who takes what he wants by force. With a system to brief him on the plot in advance, his job should be easy enough.

But just as his mission is about to begin in earnest, something goes wrong.

--

"Host, you're late for the very first major plot point!"

What's done is done. Qin You ignores the system's warning and rushes to the scene as quickly as he can.

According to the plot, this is where he is supposed to let his "beastly urges take over" and force himself on the protagonist shou. Then the protagonist gong will arrive and rescue the shou from his clutches once again.

Upon entering, he sees a figure standing in the living room. With the system anxiously urging him on, Qin You doesn't waste a second. He grabs the man, ignores his furious demands for an explanation, forcibly subdues his resistance, and starts taking him by force.

Partway through, after what feels like an eternity, the other protagonist finally bursts in-before the deed is done.

The newcomer gasps and says in a trembling voice, "Qin You, what did you do to Tingshen?"

Tingshen?

Yan Tingshen?

That's the protagonist gong's name.

Qin You: "..."

He looks down, meets Yan Tingshen's furious gaze, and slowly rises from the sofa.

The system lets out a shriek in his head.

A suffocating silence spreads through the living room.

Qin You remains expressionless.

His career has met its Waterloo, and the plot is spiraling out of control.

The villain has taken the wrong person. What is he supposed to do now?

Unscientific Romantic Entanglement

[Synopsis]

Lately, every morning when Pei Xiu wakes up, something feels strange down below.

Once or twice might be a wet dream, but seven times a week is ridiculous.

As it happens, he runs into a fortune-telling charlatan on the street. Seeing the man's white hair and ragged clothes, Pei Xiu decides to do his good deed for the day and sits down for a reading.

To his surprise, the charlatan puts on a convincing performance. He correctly tells Pei Xiu that an ill-fated romantic entanglement has been haunting him, intent on draining his yang to replenish its yin. After packing up his stall, the man even gives him a talisman, claiming it can protect him.

That night, Pei Xiu returns home, only to be awakened by the burn of the supposedly protective talisman-an unbranded product of dubious origin.

When he opens his eyes, he sees a rather stern-looking male ghost sitting beside his bed. If not for what the ghost is doing, he would look perfectly respectable.

But one of the ghost's hands is brazenly pressed against Pei Xiu's lower abdomen.

The cool touch is barely perceptible, but the waves of heat coursing through his lower belly are all too real-

Pei Xiu looks down. Straight and erect.

The ghost apparently didn't expect him to wake up. His thin lips part, but he hesitates to speak.

"..."

Their eyes meet.

Neither says a word.

"I..."

"You..."

In the end, Pei Xiu speaks first.

Perfectly calm, he attempts to negotiate with the ghost.

"...Um, could you let me put my pants on?"

Theme: A twist of fate may be a match made in heaven.
