    Both meet the requirements: neither has a romantic pairing. The first book's male lead is a top student from outside Beijing. As the title suggests, he originally worked as a translator during his summer vacation but was pulled in as a substitute by a director and eventually debuted. He has a younger sister, and both siblings are idols. The second book's male lead is a rich second-generation heir who graduated from Harvard before he was 20. The plot and logic are good, but some minor plot holes remain unresolved. If I had to point out a difference, the first book leans more towards an all-male relationship, while the second leans more towards a male-centric protagonist.

    The protagonist is a plagiarist, but he manages to roughly fit the requirements. He's admitted to Peking University through a literary competition, and he doesn't just blindly copy; he learns from reality and inherited memories, becoming a truly cultured person. Moreover, he diligently studies the articles during the plagiarism process, constantly leaving evidence of his progress in the eyes of others, and revising the copied works based on his own experiences to better suit his needs. Unlike other on-site competitions where absurd actions like "writing an essay to commemorate the occasion" occur, this is the top plagiarist I've ever read in the entertainment industry. I finished reading over 300 chapters in two days. There's no romantic pairing; the protagonist is both rational and compassionate.

    The male protagonist is a graduate student from a sports university, hanging out with students from top universities like Tsinghua, Peking University, and Nanjing University. He has strong logical thinking skills but lacks divergent thinking. It's a variety show story; the protagonist is an extreme athlete who feels lost, retires, and then participates in variety shows to rediscover himself. He's currently writing *Run for Time* and *The Evolution of the Forest*, and the characters he interacts with most are from top universities, along with He Jiong. Later, he'll write about *Who's the Murderer*, *The Mystery of the Gods*, *The Celebrity Study*, *Back to Field*, *Divas Hit the Road*, *Unstoppable Blue*, and many more.
