Just a Single Planet

A prominent aristocratic family in the capital planet is hosting a grand banquet at a top-tier hotel. The younger generation sits together at one table. The eldest brother has just achieved dual S-level mental prowess, and a military promotion is inevitable; the second sister won this year’s Most Popular Actress Award on the StarNet, her future dazzling; the third is a business prodigy, expanding the family’s commercial empire; the fourth is a mecha designer, currently crafting an ultra-S-class mecha. As the elders look on, each is filled with pride and joy. All except for the youngest, Du Yi’an, who’s been silently devouring his meal since sitting down—the "double-E-rank" good-for-nothing.

A single one is already priceless! The entire Du family is stunned. Wait, wasn’t that planet a barren wasteland, a discarded world with a dying core? — Having survived countless treacherous worlds, Du Yi’an only wants a simple retirement upon returning to his original one. Luckily, he has a planet to sculpt. Purifying soil and water, planting flora, and constructing at will— The abandoned planet becomes the most coveted paradise in the galaxy. Du Yi’an leisurely sips tea and admires flowers in his self-built castle. Ah, the perfect retirement! If only he could add a husband, it’d be even better. At that moment, the planet’s consciousness, revived from the brink of oblivion, hears its little savior’s wish. One day, a man who ticks every box on Du Yi’an’s aesthetic and XP list knocks on his door: “Hello. Heard you’re missing a partner?” Du Yi’an: ovo [Occasionally Versailles Retiree Shou × Custom-Made 24/7 Devoted Planet Gong (Who’s Just a *Tad* Massive)] — Bonus Scene: Du Yi’an: “Hubby, I heard you’re a… ball?” Partner: “…A planet.” Du Yi’an: “Got it.
