The Entire Universe Is Urging Me to Update My Ideas [Showbiz]

[A fake straight bottom with a rich inner world but no romantic experience X A faux CEO top, experienced in acting but pure-hearted]

After transmigrating in a car accident, wild-idea screenwriter Xu Jiu becomes a third-rate screenwriter. His writing relies entirely on piling up ornate language, his characterizations are full of pitfalls, and his plots are melodramatic and bizarre, with absolutely no logic.

In this era, the biggest hit is The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me, the best drama is Five Babies at Once: The CEO Daddy Spoils Me, and the current box office hits are President Jiang, Your Young Madam Has Run Away Again and The Pricey Wife's 99 Escapes. Their contents aren't merely related, they're exactly the same.

Xu Jiu: Running out of ideas, are you? Well, here I am!

*

On the first day that the most hated writer in the creative world, Wang Jiukai, released a new book, the comments section was buzzing.

[Wang Jiukai has a new book? Whatever, I'll leave a bad review first!]

[Oh my god, can someone do something? Wang Jiu is out here killing people for money again!]

[I'm reporting him to the Federation! I'll report him to the Federation!! How has an awful author like Wang Jiu not been banned yet!]

One day later.

[Author, please update!]

[Oh my god, can someone do something? The author hasn't updated in half an hour!]

[I'm reporting him to the Federation! I'll report him to the Federation!! Wang Jiu is all too happy to kill, but won't bury the bodies. He leaves cliffhangers and never fills them in. Absolutely heartless!]

In an interstellar age where AI-generated formulaic stories dominate the screens, Xu Jiu, returning to his old profession with an astonishing imagination and the original owner's stroke of genius, soon becomes the most celebrated writer in the galaxy.

The haters who used to attack him: Wuwu, author, I was wrong! Please open subscriptions so I can subscribe! I beg you!

The editor who used to look down on him: Author, I was blind to your talent back then. Please take me back! I really need an author like you!

Even Emperor He Yanting, a movie emperor with over a decade in show business and a wealth of experience, can't stop reading his stories all night.

Dark-circled movie emperor: Author, food, I'm hungry!

Xu Jiu: I've got you!

Just as Xu Jiu plans to make a fortune with his wild ideas and live a comfortable life, a call from the Interstellar Civil Affairs Bureau catches him completely off guard.

Interstellar regulations require everyone who turns eighteen to attend an interstellar matchmaking event. Anyone still unmarried at thirty will be forcibly matched.

Once both parties select each other in the matchmaking System, the System automatically registers them as married.

At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xu Jiu attends matchmaking for the first time, planning to bluff his way through. As he rejects one potential match after another, he secretly gathers material for his writing.

Third from the right in the front row: striking looks, crisp military uniform, a gaze as sharp as a torch. With that cute, baby-faced guy beside him, they're a perfect match! The sexual tension is off the charts!

In the middle of the third row: a refined-looking scoundrel in a white shirt and blue suit, wearing glasses, paired with the aloof, devil-may-care guy in black in front of him. A powerhouse pairing, a love that could rip down the wall! Not bad, not bad!

And then there's the sixth row...

Before Xu Jiu can finish imagining the story, a commotion suddenly breaks out.

He turns to look. Backlit in the doorway stands a handsome, refined man in a black custom-tailored suit, 190 centimeters tall and wearing sunglasses.

Xu Jiu is stunned. Isn't that the famous movie emperor He Yanting whose poster hangs on his wall?

That face is incredible! The poster can't capture even a tenth of his breathtaking beauty! Too bad he's not Xu Jiu's type. Who could someone that important possibly be interested in?

"Ding-dong." Xu Jiu hears a System notification: "Mr. Xu, your match is confirmed."

Xu Jiu: ???

He looks down. His finger is resting on He Yanting's handsome face on the electronic screen.

He Yanting: Hold for 10 seconds to indicate you like this person!

Xu Jiu: !!! It was an accidental touch!

He looks up in a panic and meets He Yanting's gaze as the man sits down beside him.

Just as he is about to ask to cancel the match, He Yanting turns and smiles at him. "Sorry, I accidentally held it down too."

Xu Jiu: ?

At that moment, the System notification rings out again, at the worst possible time:

"Congratulations to you both on your marriage."

Reader's guide:

Blurb:

NC = No children

Jiang Leshi is screwed.

Running into your ex during a sex scene is already bad luck. But even worse, while the two naked men are tangled together in bed, a blood-red hand punches through the partition and hangs right in front of them.

Unlucky Jiang Leshi is forced to seek a way out of the apocalypse with the ex he had a messy breakup with four years ago.

"What, you think I'm scarier than the zombies?"

After a bloody fight, Jian Cheng leans against the stolen pickup, a Zhonghua cigarette between his lips. He raises an eyebrow at Jiang Leshi, who avoids him like the plague. "Relax. Me eating you and them eating you are two different things."

Though his clothes are covered in the stinking bodily fluids of zombies, the strong, well-built body beneath his tight tank top is even more captivating than usual.

Jiang Leshi's gaze sweeps over those sculpted pecs. He spits, adjusts the heavy gun on his shoulder, and walks around to the other side of the pickup.

The first week of the apocalypse.

Fear eats away at his mind. Every time he opens his eyes, he has to hack at something. At the slightest rustle, even in his dreams, he opens his eyes and grabs his gun.

The Nth week of the apocalypse.

After the Nth time the man's naked, muscular body flashes through his mind, Jiang Leshi, sitting in the passenger seat, unconsciously shifts his aching hips and curses, "A dog's still a dog."

Yes, he's talking about himself: the dog who never learns.

In the apocalypse, people who get infected leave the group and wait to die. It's an unspoken agreement everyone understands.

Even the closest relationships can't escape the fear of mutation and death, and they're no exception.

Four years ago, when Jian Cheng proposed, Jiang Leshi coldly said, "Let's break up," then walked away without looking back. Now, with Jian Cheng infected and leaning against a wall to await death, he doesn't dare hope the other man will choose to stay by his side.

The screech of sudden braking catches his attention.

A familiar figure, struggling free from the people holding him back, jumps out of the vehicle and runs straight toward him.

Jian Cheng blinks, and the corners of his mouth lift.

Good. Seems like being a dog wasn't for nothing.

When Qin Muxiao learns that Qi Shu has died out in the wild, he sits on the city wall all night. The next day, he resolutely drives his pickup out of the city to look for him.

If he's alive, he'll find him. If he's dead, he'll find his zombie.

Amid the migrating zombie horde, Qin Muxiao finds a group of zombies behaving strangely.

Though they look like zombies, they don't seem interested in the living. They even "rescue" him from the jaws of other zombies.

After listening to the zombies discuss what to do with him all the way there, he decides to take his leave and run.

But before he can jump out of the vehicle, a familiar figure appears in front of him.

Good. Seems like he died in the right place.
