Unchained Evolution

The apocalypse is coming, and the terrifying pollution disease is sweeping the world."We call it mutation, and future history books may describe it as evolution."The world of evolution is highly competitive.

Dr. Lu cured my picky eating. Now, as a devout believer, I swear to be a vegetarian for life in exchange for Dr. Lu's lifelong happiness and well-being.Lu Yan, the top of the food chain, an eternal deity.Notes: Mild mechanical style with elements of wasteland and apocalypse.

When time passed and the Stellar People studied their first emperor a millennium later—this monarch who rose from a barren star system—they stumbled upon the diaries of Constantine I. [*When I bought him from the slavers, he was barely the size of a palm.*] [*The slave trader said he had only hatched forty days prior.*] [*A year's wages for me was twelve thousand stellar credits. His price was exactly twelve thousand.*] [*He was a fragile alien creature. Even if he possessed intelligence, he could never be a legal citizen.*] [*So one day, I made up my mind—*] *"I will change this world for you. I will give you an empire that will endure forever."* —Gavin Constantine. ———————— At some point, the empire became obsessed with a winged pet called the "Little Dragonling." A fugitive youth scoffed at the trend. How could someone like him—a sinner walking the abyss—ever fall for some two-headed hatchling? Then Gavin bought one for a secret reason— *One day later: "That’s mine, you can’t eat—fine, go ahead."* *One week later: "Chuxi, come here for a papa hug!"* *One month later: "A real man never backs down! If I can’t afford to raise you, I’ll eat my words."* *One year later: "Let the heavens bear witness—I surrender."* Years later, Emperor Constantine looked back on his life and realized meeting Chuxi was one of his few strokes of luck. *"Because gods and men are born lonely, we found each other."* **CP:** (*Delusional/brash/son of a disgraced noble/founding emperor* **top** × *Actually a dragon/adult weight 3 tons/gluttonous/great beauty* **bottom**) **Notes:** 1. Egg-laying involved. 2. Protagonist follows the *Qidian* progression trope—handsome and overpowered. 3. Cover artist: *Yaya Kungao*. 4. Features interstellar warfare and alien bugs, but not a *GK*-style bug-themed novel.

"I was once a scumbag—until I turned into the dog of the very person I’d wronged." "I realized how damn terrible I was. If I could turn human again, I’d want a fresh start with him." "Never mind. Being a dog is fine. Staying by his side is enough. He probably wouldn’t even want to see me as a human. The only downside? A dog’s lifespan is short. I might only have a year or two left." "Dead… and transformed back into a human. God*ammit." So, Chen Du sent Ruan Yu a message: "Hi… Wanna remarry?"
