Does Nobody Want You Either?

[Funny, offbeat girl x haughty peacock of a man]

[Identity-reveal highlight | Rivals to lovers | Combative couple]

…

Chen Zui is a professional matchmaking agent who helps people find dates and solve their romantic problems. She never expected her own mother to force her into a matchmaking date one day.

And her match was none other than her nemesis from elementary school all the way through high school, Si Li.

“After all these years, nobody still wants you?” Si Li asked with feigned regret, really just mocking her.

Chen Zui let out a cold laugh. “Your top priority should be putting that brain of yours, the one missing a few pieces, up for recycling. You’re so trainable I might have to call the research institute and have them come pick you up.”

To prove that she would never fall for Si Li, Chen Zui immediately revealed that she already had a respectable, established love interest.

A well-known voice actor who had never shown his face, whom she had loved for seven years. He was famous for his gentle, sincere, sunny personality and the way he adored his fans. Like a beam of light cutting through darkness, he had kept Chen Zui company through a difficult time in her life.

Si Li: ???

Wait, if you’d just told me you liked me, why did I go to all that trouble trying to get your attention…?

…

Si Li thought there was no way he and Chen Zui would ever end up together. She would definitely beat him at home someday!

Later, he decided that being beaten at home was fine. It was just a symphony of love.

Besides, he was in good shape and could take a beating!

At last, he worked up the courage to confess, only for Chen Zui to turn around and post him on Little Blue Bird. Si Li decided it was time to show her who was boss.

Using the voice she knew best, he pinned her against the sofa.

“Would it feel better if I touched you here?”

“Are you there yet?”

“Why’d you stop making noise? I like hearing you curse at me.”

Chen Zui’s face flushed as her mind went blank.

She might have… stumbled upon a hidden limited edition.

Bonus scene:

Inside the cramped, enclosed cabin of a Ferris wheel, Si Li held Chen Zui captive in the small space between them with one arm. He supported her waist so she could lean against him, then pressed his lips close to her ear and read her favorite lines in a seductive voice.

“Could you stop using such a gentle voice while doing something so indecent?” Chen Zui cried, unable to take it anymore.

Si Li looked innocent. He planted a light kiss on Chen Zui’s cheek and cooed, “It’s all because you’re too cute, baby. I can’t help myself… Didn’t the way you moved tell me you liked it?”

Upcoming story 1: Crimson Twilight [Infinite Flow in the Inner World]

Liu Ying is a renowned ace of the Datria Federation’s assassin organization, and she has two secret hobbies.

First, she’s all about the money. Whoever pays the most is her sugar daddy.

Second, she’s obsessed with idols. She often spends a fortune on her favorite male star.

To save up for a fan meeting with her idol, Liu Ying took a job: assassinate a politician and his wife, a couple who had won a great deal of public support in the election and were highly likely to become the next leaders.

Liu Ying crouched in front of the politician’s wife, who was on her last breath, and toyed with a small knife as she went through the usual motions. “Any last words?” After a pause, she added, “If they’re nothing new, don’t bother. I’ve heard them all.”

“You’ll lose the one you love forever, and never get what you long for. You’ll struggle day and night in regret and pain. May you remain in this world forever as a living corpse, immortal and undying!”

Tired of the same old curse, Liu Ying finished her off with a single stab and took the crescent-moon necklace clutched tightly in her hand as a keepsake.

When she got home, she happily opened her safe and checked her bank balance, ready to savor her spoils. But to her astonishment…

Her bank account balance had somehow dropped to zero! The money and jewelry in her safe had vanished without a trace!

At the same time, the news was reporting that rising idol He Ruhui had disappeared in an instant in front of tens of thousands of people, and that his whereabouts were unknown, with his survival uncertain.

Her idol, whom she had spent fifteen years saving up for and two years following, throwing tens of millions at him… had just vanished along with everything else?!

Liu Ying collapsed to the floor in despair. But three seconds later, she got back up, grabbed a shovel, and prepared to demand justice.

Anyone who dared to mess with her had better be ready to be ground to dust!

-

One second, He Ruhui was charming fans at a signing event as an idol. The next, he was dragged back into the Inner World to work again.

He blinked, looking a little lost…

He remembered… hadn’t he nearly lost his life escaping the Inner World?

He’d barely had a few days of peace! He’d finally made it as a rising idol and was about to take the world by storm. Who had sent him back here? Once he found out, he’d chop them into mince and feed them to the monsters of the Inner World as an afternoon snack!

Then, in a dungeon, he saw the adorable little fan who had always gazed at him with sparkling eyes at signing events, now dragged in to face the trials and suffer alongside him. He Ruhui’s kindness got the better of him.

Even if he returned to his true self in the Inner World, he still had to uphold the virtues of an idol!

Just as he was about to charm his fan and secretly give her an easy way out, He Ruhui suddenly realized something was wrong.

Liu Ying was taking down monsters with one slash each and making the dungeon’s keeper cry for mercy… She didn’t seem like the girl he remembered, the one who’d been thrilled for half a day after getting to hold his hand at a signing event.

She was a bona fide female killing machine!

Wait, that female killing machine was the reason the Inner World had found him in the first place!

He Ruhui gritted his teeth, pulled out the communicator he had hidden in the Inner World, and sent her a message.

[I know what you’re looking for. If you want it back, come find me at the end of the darkness.]

Upcoming story 2: My Top-Tier Star Husband Was My Own Creation

Ji Fan is a tough, highly respected agent in the entertainment industry. The worst decision she ever made was secretly marrying Yu Xianqing, the top-tier star she had personally trained.

Less than a year into their marriage, Ji Fan received one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news was that Yu Xianqing’s secret marriage had been exposed, so she could finally stop being his agent.

The bad news was that she was going to divorce Yu Xianqing.

Ji Fan knew how to let go. She deleted all her social media accounts, booked a flight across the ocean, and prepared to study the subject she loved. But then the company urgently called her back.

Looking at Yu Xianqing, whose life hung in the balance in the ICU after a car accident, Ji Fan, a decisive, rational, and composed agent, was overcome with fear for the first time in her life. She couldn’t even hold her phone steady. Only then did she suddenly realize…

In what she’d thought was just a tipsy, foolish game of marriage, she had already fallen too deep, loving him without even knowing it.

-

Only the pillow Yu Xianqing laid his head on at night knew how much blood and tears he had shed to get from a poor little county town to the stage where all eyes were on him.

Besides wanting to give his mother a better life, one thing that had always kept Yu Xianqing going was his determination to become someone worthy of Ji Fan.

But now the woman he had devoted himself to was going to leave him, go far away, and have nothing more to do with him for the rest of his life.

Yu Xianqing wouldn’t allow it.

He had fought so hard to earn the right to call her his wife. How could he give it up now? Even if he died, he would be buried alongside Ji Fan as her husband.

Theme: No matter how successful you are out in the world, you still have to come home and sit through a matchmaking date.
