   The first book features a male protagonist who transmigrates into the world of "The Lost Tomb" and can only use an alternate identity. To conserve energy, he removes all the internal organs from the alternate identity, leading to much speculation. He carries his beloved original body in a coffin, filled with various items like luminous pearls, and enjoys being close to it. The second book, the third in the second part, features a protagonist who transmigrates into a manga by an eunuch and survives by gaining popularity. To boost his popularity, he resorts to selling BL (Boys' Love) content and even buys an alternate identity to promote a romantic pairing.

   Book 1: The protagonist transmigrates into his unfinished novel, establishing the Flying Bird Society under various aliases. Currently, he uses the aliases: Gu Xing, Lance, Ji Anlan, Ji Ange, Gong Yu, and the Society President. There are some ambiguous romantic elements between the aliases and between the aliases and the original protagonist group; it's quite enjoyable and worth reading. Book 2: The protagonist transmigrates into a post-apocalyptic comic. To survive, he has to create multiple aliases and engage in romantic pairings with the original protagonist, the villain, and himself. "I say, good luck in love," Gu Chao slowly gathered the coins, his fingertip tracing the edge of one. "And not just bad luck, but a ton of good fortune, the kind you can't stop." (Why don't the aliases' romantic encounters count as the original's?) Book 3: An indescribable arrival completely changes the world. Accompanying the terrifying and bizarre arrival are "them" who are repairing the world. They are mysterious, dangerous, and have diverse personalities. They are high-profile, powerful, and unpredictable. They come from "Peaceful Land," from an indescribable place. They only obey the orders of "that person." "That great one" is a god, a calamity, something unspeakable; He is [redemption/crisis], both salvation and danger. Books 4 & 5: The protagonist's true form is asleep, using an alternate identity to gather energy in the world of Daomu Biji. Everyone knows how much Shen Hezhao (the original) loves Shen Huai (the real one). He'd be willing to die just to save the young man lying in the coffin. (Shen: Don't overthink it!!! / He's not dead, he's my best friend, I have to save him. Others: Who would risk their life for a best friend?! / Hmm... Yes, yes, yes, let go of each other's hands first, climb out of the coffin before we talk.) Hezhao. The crane hasn't returned, so Zhizhao is gone. The white crane hasn't returned, simply because it's too far away. I only wish you good morning, because I will return sooner or later. I will return. (Because you still owe me a good morning, I will overcome all difficulties and never forget you.) Book 6: So sweet. He said, "It's already rare to find a bright red, burning heart in a sewage ditch. There's no need to dissect it to the bottom and judge whether it's sincere and passionate." "Moreover, this heart is much purer than yours or mine."

The female lead is an ordinary girl who gets a system that allows her to create her own appearance, identity, and abilities. These alternate identities are the female lead's own split souls. The female lead's true self is extremely attracted to the alternate identities; getting close to the true self is the alternate identities' instinct. Their instinct is to love her; how can they not love her? The alternate identities can't possibly reject their true self. The second one is a dual-male story. The alternate identities are formed from the protagonist's body tissues, and all the alternate identities have an innate sense of belonging and closeness to the protagonist.

    The stories about the main character and his alternate identities are the most relevant, especially the fifth and sixth ones.

    The first book was quite interesting; I think the protagonist created an alternate identity to protect his true self. Later, a spirit emerged from the alternate identity, and the protagonist fell in love with his own identity—that part. The second and third books were by the same author, somewhat like a quick transmigration series, with incredibly well-developed characters. Mostly tragic, while normal romance is certainly healthy, the twisted elements make it even more unforgettable. The third book is a sequel to the second. You can read the second first, then the third. I absolutely love this one. It's edible. The fourth book is fantasy.

    Book 1 features a cast of characters with one-sided love (including Wenrou, Xiaoxin, and even the crazy and wild ones) who are madly in love with the male lead, and their alternate identities even kiss him; it seems to be a multi-male lead novel. Book 2 features an alternate identity with all characters having one-sided love (both male and female), a popular character, and an ambiguous relationship with the female lead, but no romantic pairing. Books 3, 4, and 5 are by Chi Yisheng; needless to say, the protagonist is a popular character, and all are without romantic pairings. Book 6 is just a recommendation; it features an alternate identity with a chosen one who has an ambiguous relationship.
