Name: I'm a Washed-Up Nobody Plagued by Scandals, So What If I'm Cunning?
Author: Jiu Shisan Shao

Synopsis

[Two powerful leads + both transmigrate into a book + both devoted to each other + intense push and pull + showbiz]

After transmigrating into a book, a socially anxious academic genius finds himself in a power fantasy with a female lead, as an obscure member of a popular boy band whose name is mired in scandal.

According to the original plot, Jiang Si should leave the entertainment industry, focus on losing his mind, and never turn back as he drags the main villain down with him.

But now, bound to a mysterious System, Jiang Si returns to showbiz and finds all sorts of ways to derail the plot so he can get home.

His bandmates offer him heartfelt encouragement during a livestream. He says, “We’re breaking up soon. I suggest you stop being fans.”

Guests on a dating show are all sweet and lovey-dovey. He says, “What kind of rules are these? Let’s see what happens if I mess them up.”

He’s paired with a useless teammate for a wilderness survival show. He says, “Pick one: a wild little mouse or a juicy water cockroach.”

Fans: Having you is my blessing.

Jiang Si: Thanks for asking. Out here in the world, you have to keep your wits about you.

One day, the main villain, who always grants Jiang Si’s requests to complete System missions, accidentally unlocks the mind-reading skill.

He hears the kid plotting how to get him into bed with the original heroine.

Xie Tingyun: ? So who’s the prey here?

There will be plenty of misleading descriptions, so decide for yourself who’s the top and who’s the bottom. The story is all about one twist after another.

Stop asking who’s who. The author personally ships Jiang as the bottom and Xie as the top, though I might flip them when I’m feeling unhinged.

Little Jiang has emotional detachment disorder and PTSD, while Little Xie has an emotional processing disorder. Together, they don’t have a single normal brain cell between them, so don’t judge them by normal standards.

I hope it will be updated soon, I want to see it! I really like Jiang Si, not only the character, but even though I can't hear the voice in the description, I can't help but love it when I imagine it!!!

It's super beautiful [admiration] [admiration] [admiration], but I can't tell the difference between aggression and resentment 😢 😢 😢. I like the characters and emotional lines of these two male protagonists very much. I hope I don't disagree (I am 1 with thanks), but it doesn't matter. I have opposed too many novels but I also like them equally. I support the author [send heartfelt] [send heartfelt] [send heartfelt]

The feeling after reading it is undoubtedly very good. I like it very much. I like the character of 44. It really pokes my xp. Don't abuse, don't abuse, don't abuse. Say important things three times🥺

It's super good-looking, the extreme pull between two 800-minded people, the plot is also very refreshing and novel [Send my heart][Send my heart]

I love it so much, I can't get enough of it! When a person's weakness is exposed, then he has been controlled, but the prerequisite for control is whether you have the strength I like their restraint

It's good to watch, good to watch, good to watch (♥∀♥), if you don't like mindless cool articles, you can read here [I learned it][I learned it], the logic of the whole article seems to me very good so far, I think the progress of attack and reception is too slow, it's super exciting, cheers [sending heart][sending heart][sending heart]

Woohoo, I've been short of books for a long time, and I finally found one that suits my taste. I really love Jiang Jiang's character, but the author has buried so many pitfalls that my brain can't keep up with it, and I can't remember it at all 🥺 🥺

It's very interesting, but didn't the author say at the beginning that the protagonist Jiang Si is a bit homophobic or even misogynistic? Why is it that Jiang Si is not seen to be homophobic or misogynistic at all later on?
