Synopsis

Bai Shi was an online fiction writer. Aside from occasionally having a sharp tongue and loving to make snarky remarks, he had no other flaws. One day, people in his group decided to write a story together, so he ran his mouth and offered a bunch of suggestions.

Bai Shi: "Your readers are ordinary people, so you need to make it easier for them to relate, got it?"

Everyone: "So?"

Bai Shi: "So the protagonist should come from humble beginnings and make a living by scavenging at a landfill."

Everyone: "..."

Bai Shi: "He's the protagonist, so you need to give him a name people will remember after hearing it once, got it?"

Everyone: "Like what?"

Bai Shi: "Goudan."

Everyone: "..."

Bai Shi's life was pleasant enough, until one day he transmigrated into that very book. Dressed in rags, Bai Shi stared blankly into space.

Future sidekick: "Goudan, what's wrong?"

Bai Shi: "..."

Will someone tell him what he's supposed to do in this completely messed-up world, damn it!

In short, this is the story of a sharp-tongued author who dug his own grave.

Notice: This novel will be available on Jinjiang exclusively from July 24. No reposting.

The protagonist is the receiving partner. One-on-one romance, regular updates guaranteed. Come on in! O(∩_∩)O~

Thanks to Xiaoxiao for the cover!

More of What I Like, Vol. 2

The last list filled up, so I'm starting a new one.

Absolutely Fantastic, Highly Recommended

They dote on each other; strong leads who are evenly matched (for the most part); 1v1. Strong-and-strong pairings are my main course, but I’ll try a little of everything for dessert. Confident, bold, clever characters are my number one.

Unforgettable Reads

My personal reread list: easygoing stories for when I have little energy, mostly old-school shockers, outrageous melodrama, and satisfying wish-fulfillment (I'm a simple soul). I flip through old favorites whenever I feel like it. The more locked away they are, the more authoritative they seem.

Novels I've Finished, Both Fanfiction and Original

If I finished it, it means it suits my tastes. And I have a lot of tastes: feel-good power fantasies, dark and angsty stories, BG and BL, though less BL, and more with no pairing.

Mutual Pampering, Sweet and Satisfying (I'm Half an Attack-Mom Fan)

A powerful couple who dote on each other, sweet and satisfying, both each other’s first. Mutual devotion is the best. Nothing too wildly unexpected; the stars are mainly for the sweetness.
