The blurb for my next book, The Cold Beauty's Bodyguard Is Up to Something, is at the bottom.
The famous God of War protagonist gong from The Legend of the Dragon King becomes the Dragon Lord after retiring, embarks on a path to absolute dominance, and eventually becomes the king of Hailin City. Every powerful figure who once threw their weight around ends up in his harem.
A textbook, brainless power fantasy about a domineering hero.
Wang Zhicheng, a timid straight guy, accidentally read a fanfic and, even worse, transmigrated into the story as a vicious, lovesick cannon-fodder character. From the start, he's at the engagement ceremony with the first member of the harem, openly cuckolding the Dragon King.
The Dragon King will arrive at the scene in five seconds.
As a competent cannon fodder, he should know his place, work hard to earn favor, and never compete with the protagonist for any opportunities.
Out loud: "I'm not here to break up your family. I'm here to be your underling."
In his head: [Once I successfully call off the engagement, I'll cling to the Dragon King's leg and rack up favor points. What happens to the harem protagonists is none of my business.]
Unfortunately, the Dragon King's harem can all hear his thoughts.
The first wife, who is about to have her family's resources drained, her loved ones killed, and herself used as a human shield: "This engagement has to go ahead."
"Dragon King Hostility: +6,000."
Wang: "Bro, you're not into guys, but you're into me?"
The second harem member, who learns he's about to hand over his pharmaceutical group and become a househusband: "Third Young Master Wang, I'm willing to be your secret boyfriend."
"Dragon King Hostility: +20,000."
Wang: "I'm done for. I'm already halfway in the grave."
The third harem member, who's about to be disgraced and thank his enemy for it: "As long as you aren't married yet, I still have a chance."
"Dragon King Hostility: +60,000."
Wang: "So my Wang family is the Wang in 'The Wang family falls when the sky turns cold.'"
The fourth harem member, who's about to be drugged, disqualified, and made the Dragon King's most secret underling: "You're the only one who's ever been my pride."
"Dragon King Hostility has reached one hundred million."
Wang: "Does anyone remember that I was supposed to be earning the Dragon King's favor?"
Somehow, as he kept racking up points, he became the Dragon King's legend.
Young Master Wang stared in confusion at his underlings, who were silently cheering him on, and the real Dragon King, whose face was murderous.
[Why is every member of this harem an absolute powerhouse?]
[Why is this cannon fodder so hard to handle?]
A story about a useless bronze-ranked nobody who is dragged to the pinnacle of life by a group of top-ranked players.

Yuan Siqiao, political leader of Klein Star, is an Alpha at the top of the planet's elite circles. Eccentric and twisted in temperament, ruthless and decisive in his methods, he prefers to keep to himself. He's a beautiful, poisonous flower who inspires both fear and fascination.
One night, he dreams that the world is an old-fashioned, misery-filled novel about chasing after a wife. He's the scum gong who neglects and mistreats the protagonist shou. In the end, he goes blind, becomes disabled, develops severe stomach problems, and has his glands surgically removed. Only after enduring every humiliation does the protagonist shou, Lou Yichuan, finally relent, abandon the cannon-fodder gongs who gave everything for him, and agree to remarry Yuan Siqiao.
Yuan Siqiao, jolting awake in outrage: ???
It was supposed to be a simple political marriage between two powerful families. Why are you expecting real feelings from me?
The political leader Yuan soon has another dream.
One of the cannon-fodder gongs successfully turns evil and locks him up.
Yuan Siqiao's mind crashes.
The engagement is successfully called off, but the cannon-fodder gongs show up early, and, egged on by the protagonist shou, every one of them is extremely hostile toward him.
Yuan Siqiao sneers. Good. I hadn't gotten around to looking for them, but here they are, coming straight to me.
Using the vague clues from his dreams, he decides to team up with his bodyguard and take revenge in advance.
Cannon-fodder gong number one is a starship commander who once threatened to kill him. He'll be the one to cripple his legs later. Anyone who says that so confidently must have done this kind of thing plenty of times before. Investigate him.
Cannon-fodder gong number two is the Alliance Council Speaker's youngest son. He's responsible for Yuan's blindness and the destruction of his glands. Abuse of power and disregard for other people's lives: he must have plenty of dirt on him. Investigate!
Cannon-fodder gong number three is an entertainment star famous throughout the Alliance. He'll use public opinion to smear Yuan, and nearly bankrupt the Yuan family and force them from power. An artist with such poor character must have abused his celebrity status plenty of times. Investigate!
Most importantly, investigate the protagonist shou!
Bankruptcy, disability, and utter disgrace: let them all experience in advance everything the book says I'll go through.
There's only one cannon-fodder gong with such powerful connections that even his all-capable personal bodyguard can't uncover his identity.
At last, one day, he follows the scar on that man's back from his dreams, grabs his shoulder, and turns him around.
The man before him is his most trusted bodyguard, an Alliance Class One wanted criminal, and his sworn enemy.
The man presses closer, his rough fingertips trembling as they touch Yuan's cheek. A wicked, unrestrained smile appears on his face.
His gaze is full of deep desire, yet also thick with fear.
"So you've finally remembered, my young master."
Yuan Siqiao finally learns who the man in his dreams is, just as he'd hoped, but now there's no escaping him.
Fu Shuang'ang was born on Exile Planet-3. With his rare Enigma physique and his supernatural abilities, he became the strongest pirate in the stars.
As the Alliance's most valuable wanted criminal, he has one sworn enemy: Yuan Siqiao.
In his previous life, he roamed the star systems, committing every kind of crime and terrifying everyone. Klein Star was the only place where he suffered defeat and had to retreat in frustration. Later, this political leader stole his man, got his close friend imprisoned and his brother killed, and made him lose everything.
Even after he rose again, he couldn't forgive that man.
To get revenge on Yuan Siqiao, Fu Shuang'ang took out all his resentment on him. Finally, on a rainy night, Yuan Siqiao left this world with a smile of relief, leaving Fu Shuang'ang to clutch his cold body and weep in regret.
After being reborn, he goes undercover in Klein City ahead of time to take revenge on the protagonist shou. When Yuan Siqiao is in danger, he steps in and, through a series of coincidences, becomes his bodyguard. Carefully disguised as an omega, he slowly becomes the person Yuan trusts most.
A hazy bud of love sprouts from his feelings of remorse and a desire to atone. But Yuan Siqiao seems to have started dreaming about the things Fu did to him in his past life.
What should he do?
P.S.
1. Extremely melodramatic! This is a classic story of a scum gong being reborn and regretting his actions. It's an unconventional A/E romance with lots of original worldbuilding, and both leads are faithful to each other in both lives.
2. In his past life, the gong seized the shou by force and subjected him to forced sex and hate. Read with caution if this bothers you!!! He loved without realizing it, died for love in the end, was reborn, and now seeks redemption and his wife back.
3. The shou has an alluring, everyone-loves-him quality.
Theme: Do good deeds, and good luck will follow
