    Summary

    Yuder comes back, and he chooses a different path. He kills all of the nobles that he thinks the world would be better off without, and after killing the Crown Prince, allows himself to be caught. He expects to be executed—not kept as basically the Commander's pet.
    —————
    “Am I going to be executed now?”

    The Commander lifted a hand, pressing his knuckles to his lips. “No, no. You’ve been sentenced to life.”

    Yuder frowned. “That’s too lenient,” he said slowly.

    “Oh, I assure you that it isn’t. Your life won’t be spent behind bars, Yuder.” The man leaned back, folded his hands on his lap, and smiled. “You belong to me now. Be sure to be good for me, won’t you?”

    Yuder stared blankly at the man, waiting for the man to say that he was joking. Silence filled the carriage.

    His lips moved soundlessly. It wasn’t a joke. After a few moments, Yuder answered absently, head reeling, “I’ll try.”

    Summary

    It could have been worse.

    Yeah, it could have been worse. In the way that falling into a frying pan was technically better than falling into the flames underneath. There were surely worse realities to transmigrate into than this one. Like, he wasn’t a slave.

    ...Because slaves were human.

    He was a fish.

    Well. ‘Domesticated Mer’.

    A pet. Sentient, yet ownable. A status symbol.

    What was that? Slaves were considered less than human too?

    Aish! This wasn’t the time for splitting hairs! This was the time for internally wailing, lamenting, and raging at the shitty heavens!

    ----


    Shang Qinghua thought it was bad enough when he transmigrated into the life of someone’s pet, but then he found himself crammed into a cargo hold as a gift for a noble overseas. When the ocean turned treacherous and the crew turned their hungry eyes on him, he never expected what happened next, nor how meeting a wild mer would flip his new life upside down.

    Summary

    And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”

    Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”

    “Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”

    “No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”

    “You’re not in love?”

    He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”

    For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…

    Unfamiliar.

    Unknowable.

    Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.

    “You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.

    Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.
