The Washed-Up Child Star Is Going Wild on a Variety Show

On the day filming begins for the S+ acting variety show, a popular contestant drops out. The production team gives up and randomly picks an outdated child star to fill in.

As soon as the news comes out, netizens fly into a rage:

[Liu Junyu? The nobody who played the young emperor for three episodes when he was eight, then vanished without a trace?]

[Ha, I'll be waiting for this has-been to get eliminated in the first round!]

To make the sacrificial lamb's downfall as spectacular as possible, the production team gives Liu Junyu the hardest role in the first round: a fallen prince whose closest family betray him, whose home is destroyed, and who plummets from the heights of power into the depths of despair.

Everyone waits to watch him make a fool of himself, but...

The camera zooms in. Liu Junyu doesn't howl or break down in tears. He slowly raises his eyes, a tear of blood glistening at their corner, and a cruel smile lifts his lips.

His hatred is bone-deep, yet his pride remains unbroken.

He is the fallen prince who has fought his way out of a mountain of corpses.

The other contestants turn pale. ...Wasn't this supposed to be some washed-up child star? What the hell, an award-winning actor has descended from the heavens to crush us with his superior skills!

.

Liu Junyu won every international award there was, but died young. When he opens his eyes again, he's become a nobody destined to be cannon fodder.

The director gives him an absent-minded pat on the shoulder. “Just act however you like. You're being sacrificed in the first round anyway.”

Liu Junyu watches the other actors onstage: forgetting their lines, fake-crying in front of the camera, failing to get into character, and using numbers in place of dialogue...

Then he remembers all the days and nights in his previous life, when he poured his heart and soul into every role.

Liu Junyu: “So I can improvise? I'm great at that!”

Afterward

A hater gets down on his knees: “The entertainment industry has hope again! That performance made the original leading man look like nothing!”

The director shows up at his door in the middle of the night: “Why bother with an acting variety show? Pick any S+ leading-man script I have!”

The screenwriter holds out a new script: “What kind of story do you want to act in, God Liu? I'll write a script tailored to you right now!!!”

-My next no-romance story, Infinite Game, Animal World, is open for follows~

Blurb: Other people enter an infinite game to explore haunted houses, kill bosses, and solve rule-based horror mysteries.

But when Pei Yan opens a game instance, he becomes a wildebeest, a hyena, and... a polar bear?

In 3033, Earth is wiped clean and restarted.

[System notification: Welcome, all players, to the infinite game, Extinction. Find a species that went extinct in your time, play it, and survive.]

Whatever you drove to extinction, you become.

As one game instance after another opens, the System assigns each player a character card, and the ecological hierarchy is reshuffled according to the food chain.

Other players frantically fight for the identities of apex predators to improve their chances of survival.

Pei Yan alone chooses the role in each instance that's “most likely to die.”

The game begins, and all the players follow the rules of survival: eat, or be eaten.

Pei Yan refuses.

On his third day as a wildebeest, countless apex hunters lie in wait along his herd's migration route, baring their claws and fangs.

Pei Yan crosses the river over the corpses of his companions, then spears a male lion on his horns.

As a low-ranking cleaner in a pack of hyenas, he gets attacked by his own kind if he tries to steal food above his station, leaving him no choice but to fill his belly with carrion.

Pei Yan bites through the alpha's skull, then leads the starving pack of hyenas toward the grasslands ruled by apex hunters...

Other players scrape by in the game instances.

Pei Yan kills his way to the top of the food chain in every one.

From the depths of the sea to the summit of Everest.

From the Ice Age to the extinction of species.

Pei Yan retraces his steps, following a path paved with countless corpses.

And connects to an evolutionary lineage that belongs to him alone.

-Next danmei story: The Real Young Master and the Fake Young Master Fall in Love. Please add it to your follows!

Blurb: Lin Qixue is a sickly weakling who can't even look after himself.

His adoptive family killed his parents, stole his inheritance, and let his younger brother steal his fiance, but all he can do is meekly accept it.

No one knows that, starting at the age of twelve, Lin Qixue has quietly kept track of every dirty deed his adoptive family has committed and everyone they've offended.

Call him evil by nature or deeply calculating, if you like. Either way, he knows how to ruin his adoptive parents' reputations, turn his younger brother's friends against him, and make sure they die a gruesome death.

After ten years of keeping his head down, he's ready to make his move

Before he can put his plan into action, he has a dream.

It turns out this world is a pampered-rich-family novel, and his younger brother is the chosen protagonist, while he's the sinister, twisted villain.

In the dream, he does indeed strike.

His adoptive parents die by charcoal poisoning, his younger brother's face twists in agony as he dies, and everything that was stolen from him returns to his hands.

He smiles sweetly as he takes back everything, not a hair out of place, not a speck of dirt on his clothes.

Then the older brother, who had existed only in his family's stories, comes home.

He sees straight through Lin Qixue's disguise.

Lin Qixue loses to him without a chance to fight back, and everything turns to ashes in an instant.

After waking, Lin Qixue sits on the bed for a while, then smiles silently.

In the dream, he loses because he underestimates his opponent and doesn't understand how terrifying his older brother is.

But now he knows!

All he has to do is keep his head down and act obedient, find his brother's weak spot, then strike a fatal blow.

If he can fool the whole world, he can fool his older brother too.

The day his older brother returns, Lin Qixue raises his pale face. The corners of his eyes are damp and red, and his shoulders tremble with every cough, like a delicate white flower ready to snap in the wind.

“Big brother, Qixue missed you so much...”

.

Lin Tingbai is a god-tier author who has written every kind of story. Then he suddenly transmigrates into a rich-family novel packed with every cliche imaginable, becoming the protagonist's older brother.

Bored, he flips through the plot: the real and fake young masters fight over one man, a love rivalry, a love triangle... Oh, next page.

On the next page, the delicate white flower picks up a knife.

Lin Tingbai sits up straight.

Cruel, vicious, evil by nature: none of these descriptions are too much for the delicate white flower.

But he's so beautiful, both holding a knife and smiling as he thrusts a finger into a wound.

His fierce, dazzling beauty pierces Lin Tingbai's eyes and lodges in his mind.

Eagerly, Lin Tingbai flips ahead, then suddenly feels as if he's been struck by lightning:

“Lin Tingbai locks Lin Qixue in a lightless room. He personally chooses the golden cage and fastens the chains himself.”

Ah, the caged-bird storyline. He's the lead, along with the delicate white flower.

After a moment of silence, Lin Tingbai runs his tongue over his suddenly itchy teeth and immediately tells his assistant, “Book a flight. I'm going home.”

.

On the day they meet, Lin Qixue smiles pitifully and calls him “Big brother” in a soft, gentle voice.

Lin Tingbai's teeth ache. He brushes his teeth against the side of Lin Qixue's neck and whispers in his ear:

“Hello, wife.”
