The Villains All Seem Terrified of Me

[Pre-release: How to Tell the Ill-Tempered Marshal He Kissed the Wrong Person. Please add it to your collection, mwah!] This is a story about how the protagonist uses his protagonist aura and a heartthrob cheat to stylishly crush his aunts, uncles, and other relatives. With his forced show-off routine of making ghosts wail wherever he goes and taking down one enemy per chapter, his shamelessly invincible nature, and his flirtatious footwork, he successfully catches the attention of a refined, cultured, immaculate rich heir from a family several generations wealthy. And he makes the rich heir fall for him at first sight and lose his virtue the second time they meet. Ahem, I mean, become devoted to him. That's the story. Trying to outdo me in shamelessness? Heh. Come on, let's hurt each other! Blurb Two: Bai Moru is something of an oddity. He stayed in his mother's womb for an extra six months before finally being born, only to die after just a few years. One day, he woke up and took over the body. He should have been grateful for a second chance at life, but the stolen days turned out to be painfully hard. His family was poor, and the illness he'd had since birth left him bedridden every few days. His mother and older brother kept telling him not to stop taking his medicine... Life was tough, so he started from scratch and worked to keep himself fed. At this point, the tale should have reached its happy ending, with all the merits earned and the curtains closing in celebration. But the original owner of the body was the unloved concubine-born son of the Bai family. He had lived a miserable, repressed life before dying, and things didn't get much better after Bai Moru took over. His father was there, but took no responsibility and was easily swayed. His mother was timid and weak, and suffered constant bullying. His older brother was honest and simple, and let everyone walk all over him. That might have been bearable, but his father's principal wife was jealous, suspicious, and vicious, and a whole gaggle of aunts and female relatives could chatter nonstop for an entire day... ● Pre-release, male lead: How to Tell the Ill-Tempered Marshal He Kissed the Wrong Person Xia Yunshen fell ill with delusions. His condition mainly manifested in occasional fantasies that he had entered a parallel world. In that parallel world, he was secretly together with the marshal of their First Military District. The man, a decorated war hero with a volatile temperament, was still taciturn, but now did whatever Xia Yunshen asked. If Xia Yunshen said east, it was east. If he said west, it was west. Even when Xia Yunshen bullied him mercilessly, even when he deliberately gave away the betrothal ring the man had gifted him right in front of him, the most the man did was look at him with reddened eyes and say nothing. Xia Yunshen knew he was ill. He tried his best to suppress it and took his medicine on schedule, but still sank deeper and deeper. Then one day, he mixed up the worlds, pinned the man from the real world in an empty corner, held his hands down, and kissed him to his heart's content. When he looked up, he met the man's stunned gaze. ● Completed male-lead novel: Watching the Gate in an Enemy Prison [Infinite] After retiring, Guo Dong, the king of ghost kings, found a strange job guarding a door in a bizarre underground warehouse. The job was a little odd, but it paid fifty thousand a month and even offered funeral expenses if he died. To pay for his collection of limited-edition dolls, all bought on installment plans stretching twenty years into the future, Guo Dong readily signed on. On his first day, Guo Dong saw a group of people secretly stuffing a legendary human-skin ghost through the door. That human-skin ghost seemed to be his former pet... The same group came back the next day. This time they stuffed a ghost king through, who also happened to be his former subordinate. On the third day, Guo Dong realized the prison he was guarding seemed to belong to the enemy. On the fourth day, his boss picked him to join a team entering a dungeon to fight ghosts. Guo Dong: "...I refuse." Chen Ran: "There's overtime pay." Guo Dong: "(☆_☆) Just hang in there and you'll get everything. Love you, boss!" The ghosts: "???" Living brides in ghost weddings, rotten kids, human sacrifices in deserted villages, people flayed alive, wooden puppets... Chen Ran had thought an ordinary person like Guo Dong wouldn't survive a single dungeon, but Guo Dong proved unexpectedly hard to kill. Chen Ran was surprised. Until one day, he saw the rabbit Guo Dong carried everywhere in his arms suddenly go berserk and pin a boss-level ghost king to the ground, beating him until he lost the will to live. Chen Ran: "???" Guo Dong was horrified to discover that his boss kept staring at his dolls (and trying to hide them). "Mine!" Chen Ran (coldly): "What's so fun about stuffed dolls?" Later, Guo Dong discovered Chen Ran was right. There really was something in the world more fun than stuffed dolls. Chen Ran (holding his back): "..."
