A Swordsman’s Troubles [Crossover]

My new story, "Ever Since I Fell Out of Meteor City," is now underway. Check it out in my author profile! Shalnark has a problem. His world has been infiltrated by transmigrators so thoroughly it's full of holes. The Phantom Troupe eventually died at the hands of transmigrators, and after being reborn in Meteor City, he has to deal with transmigrators from all kinds of worlds as the price of his second chance. Some of these transmigrators even want to become the Troupe's boss's wife. Shalnark gives a cold laugh. You want to seduce the boss? You'll have to get past me first. Then, at some point, rumors begin circulating within the Troupe: Shalnark has a secret crush on the boss. Shalnark: I don't! I didn't! Don't make things up. Wait, how did you all figure it out??? * To sum it up, this is a story about gossip that gets repeated so often it comes true. Shalnark, heartbroken: I've done so much for the Troupe, and you still spread rumors about me! The Troupe: This gossip is delicious. A quick mention of an upcoming story. Please add it to your collection QWQ "Dating a Coworker Under a Secret Identity Is Bound to Cause Trouble" Jingshui You is an employee of the Port Mafia. He's powerful, mysterious, and conscientious about his work. His only flaw is that he's hard to get along with, so he's not very popular in the organization. He has a secret. He's dating Mr. Chuuya, an executive. Only, he's using another secret identity. - Mr. Chuuya is in love. He thinks his partner, Konno, is wonderful in every way, except that he's a little dimwitted. But that's not so bad. Why does anyone need to be that smart? His only worry is how to tell his lover he's in the Mafia. Every time he tries to bring it up, his lover becomes visibly restless. Over drinks, he pours his heart out to a colleague. Jingshui You listens with a grave expression: ... - Later, Mr. Chuuya's relationship is exposed within the organization. Jingshui You continues his daily grind, only to realize belatedly that people seem to like him even less now. Then he overhears a little gossip. "Have you heard? About Mr. Nakahara..." "I have! And Mr. Jing actually..." Actually what? Jingshui You's heart jolts. Could his secret identity have been exposed without his knowing "Mr. Jing actually became the other man and is trying to force Mr. Nakahara's lover into a relationship!" ? What? #HasMrJingsReputationImprovedToday?# #NotEvenSlightly# Reader's Guide: 1. A sweet little romance, written just for fun because the idea seemed interesting. 2.
