Moral Decay

Do not provoke the rat in the sewer.

Qin Zhan X Zhou Liao
A gloomy, perverted soul with a suffocating need for control and nothing to his name X A morally bankrupt, scummy, and dissolute wealthy heir who considers himself straight.

Zhou Liao was blessed with striking features and a golden safety net provided by his wealthy parents; from childhood, he had grown accustomed to the intoxicating superiority of doing exactly as he pleased. One of his regular pastimes involved dating beautiful women, only to betray them the moment the novelty wore off.

Everything began to shift the day a “transparent” nobody—a boy as dark and reclusive as a rat—bumped into him and walked away without a word of apology. From that moment on, the name Qin Zhan began to surface in his life with unsettling frequency.

Zhou Liao had spent his entire life being worshipped like a star among moons, yet a rat like Qin Zhan never even deigned to look him in the eye. It was a pity, really… for he soon discovered that Qin Zhan cared deeply for a certain girl, and that girl seemed to have a crush on Zhou Liao himself.

<Essentially, this is a story of a dissolute, scummy man meeting his forced retribution; it takes one villain to truly tame another.>

Note: The protagonist is quite wicked in the early stages and will suffer miserably later on. Includes themes of school bullying and “dark room” scenarios (not purely about violence, nor simple confinement). Both the lead and the love interest are villains.

Highlighted Reminder: Please, please make absolutely sure to check the content warnings (landmines) before clicking into this story. The author cannot provide a detailed warning for every single person’s specific triggers.

1. The Shou (bottom/submissive character) is a straight man [at the start]. He is very “bad” in the early stages; however bad he is at the beginning, he will suffer just as miserably later on.

2. This work is purely fictional. It should not be projected onto real-world values and does not represent the author’s personal values. It will contain themes of “dark rooms” (confinement) and school violence.

(Note: This does not advocate for or promote school violence; the essence of this text is anti-school violence. It only appears briefly in the very early stages. Please maintain positive energy in real life.)

3. If your “XP” (kinks/preferences) are the same as mine, the later parts of this book will satisfy you. If they are different, I suggest you close this immediately and find stories that match your own preferences.

4. Everyone is a villain. The Shou is the first to fall in love.

5. You can curse at the characters, but do not curse at me (the author). The current environment—where you can’t write anything without being criticized for everything—is already very annoying, so please just give me a break.

The plot is roughly about a “scumbag” getting his retribution. Doing bad things leads to no “good juice” (good outcomes).
