They're All Jealous Over Me

[Upcoming novels in my profile: I Got Famous by Shipping CPs and I Became an Idol's Teammate After Disguising Myself as a Man. Please add them to your collection!]

Reborn as the lovesick doormat side character who pines after the male lead, Qiao Xingzhu decides to stay away from the main cast and stop getting involved in his business with the female lead. But as time goes by, she realizes something is off about the main cast.

At first:

The male lead and Qiao Xingzhu bump into the same broom and immediately spring apart as if they'd touched a pile of rat droppings. He tells her, "Don't think getting close to Qi Yan will make me care about you."

The female lead sees her approach and immediately backs away, glaring at her. "Are you trying to bully me again?"

The villain lifts her chin, smiling faintly. "You think a little trick like that is enough to use me?"

Later, they all come around:

The male lead grips her arm, his lashes trembling. "I was wrong about everything. Come back to me, Xingzhu."

The female lead holds out a good-luck charm, carefully presenting it to her. "I've kept the charm you gave me with me this whole time."

The villain, who catches the male lead confessing to Qiao Xingzhu, has bloodshot eyes. He pulls her into his arms as if he wants to press her into his very bones. "I can give you everything he can. Stop liking him, okay?"

Qiao Xingzhu: "?" What's wrong with all of you? She's the villainous side character!

The male lead is the villain, Qi Yan.

Upcoming novel 1: I Got Famous by Shipping CPs

Su Nanzhi is a minor actress with no connections or resources. After years of struggling in the entertainment industry, she's still an unknown nobody.

Then one day, during a livestream, viewers notice that Su Nanzhi's phone wallpaper is a couple. A few days later, the two announce their relationship. Later, sharp-eyed viewers spot a poster of another couple in the living room in a fleeting moment of her vlog. Before long, that couple announces their relationship too.

[What kind of magical CP-shipping powers does she have?]

[Can you tell me which couple to ship next, in advance?]

[Please, miss, ship my CP!]

Thanks to shipping CPs, she gets a little popular, and more and more commercial opportunities come her way. One day, after wrapping up work, Su Nanzhi returns to her hotel and sees a CP post in her recommendations. Her adrenaline surges, and she quickly reposts it from her alt account:

"Which divine couple is this? Let me in on the ship!!!"

Her alt account follows a bunch of people who are on the front lines of CP shipping. She clicks into the comments.

...Wait, why does this feel off?

[Did the actual celebrity just notice me?]

[Help... is my crack ship about to become real?]

[Buy into the Lychee CP, you won't regret it!]

Su Nanzhi exits the post and takes a look.

...She posted that from her main account?!

But who's the Lychee CP? Su Nanzhi scrolls down and finally finds someone explaining it. The moment she sees the explanation, her breath catches.

[You don't have to accuse her of clout-chasing. Zhizhi probably didn't know the Lychee CP was her and Li Shi when she reposted it.]

???

She doesn't even know Movie Emperor Li. How could they have a CP?

Help!!!

Su Nanzhi frets over how to fix the mess, but then Li Shi posts a Weibo that sends her account into a frenzy.

Li Shi: Let me in on it too. //@Su Nanzhi: Which divine couple is this? Let me in on the ship!!! // [Photo]

Netizens: ???

You got us shipping them again, Su Nanzhi! You're amazing!!!

Su Nanzhi: ?

That night, #SuNanzhiTheNumberOneCPShipper and #LycheeCP trend, while #LiShiSuNanzhi shoots to the top of the trending list and stays there.

Upcoming novel 2: I Became an Idol's Teammate After Disguising Myself as a Man

Reborn as the teammate who does nothing but throw herself at the idol, Chu Zhao keeps her secret identity as a woman disguised as a man under wraps, and shields her idol from every unwanted flirtation!

A minor actress wants to spill coffee on her idol brother to get his attention. Chu Zhao steps in front of him.

A screen legend winks at him and hands him a card. Chu Zhao takes it first.

A female CEO wants to develop a more intimate relationship with him. Chu Zhao refuses righteously.

In an interview, Jiang Ran is asked if he likes anyone. He looks toward the audience.

"I do."

After the show airs, fans and bystanders are stunned. #JiangRanAdmitsHeLikesSomeone rockets to the top of the trending list.

As a die-hard fan, Chu Zhao knows Jiang Ran has a long-lost first love, so she secretly plans to bring the two of them together.

Later, she finally finds the girl and brings her to Jiang Ran. Once she knows he'll be happy, she packs her bags and leaves his side.

But to her surprise, her idol starts frantically searching for her. Chu Zhao rushes back, only for her idol to grab her shoulders with bloodshot eyes.

"You ran away after realizing I liked you. Do you hate me that much?!"

Chu Zhao freezes and hurriedly waves her hands, but the next second Jiang Ran pulls her into his arms. His voice is muffled. "Now everyone knows I've come out. You're responsible."

Chu Zhao: ??? Brother, how did you end up gay?!

*

Photos catch Jiang Ran pinning Chu Zhao against a wall backstage,

the two whispering to each other beneath the stage at an awards ceremony,

and holding hands at the airport.

Jiang Ran's fans are furious. Their brother carries the whole group, while Chu Zhao, who has no talent and relies on underhanded tricks, is trying to sell a fake romance with him again!

Their brother is famously straight. Chu Zhao is delusional.

Until one day, Jiang Ran posts on Weibo: The person I like is @ChuZhao

The fans: ???
