Please add my upcoming novels to your reading list: The Black Lotus Beauty Is Forced to Reform and They’re All Desperately Pursuing Me. Ji Jin, an Omega, joined the professional team IKW at seventeen. Hailed as an esports prodigy, he won three championships in three years, then retired and moved abroad at twenty. Who could have guessed that three years later, Ji Jin would suddenly return to China and join the new team MOE, with a chubby-cheeked toddler in tow? Just as everyone was speculating about who the child belonged to... At the first match of the autumn season, Lu Yao, Ji Jin’s legendary nemesis and current IKW captain, cornered him backstage at the venue. The scent of the Alpha pheromones he knew best filled the air, making the corners of Ji Jin’s eyes redden. But Lu Yao leaned close to Ji Jin’s ear and asked through gritted teeth: “Who’s the kid’s father? Which bastard is it?” Bonus scene: Ji Jin and Lu Yao were famous for being sworn enemies. But lately, sharp-eyed fans noticed that Lu Yao had gone to watch Ji Jin play in person at the first match of this year’s autumn season. Fans: No, no, no! YaoYao must be there to scope out the competition! Midway through the match, Lu Yao used a championship keyboard printed with Ji Jin’s name. Fans: That must be photoshopped by a hater! Meanwhile, after Ji Jin lost his match, Lu Yao’s fans mercilessly mocked him on Weibo. Then the number-one Ji Jin fan on Weibo, @JiJinFanClubForcingEveryoneToLoveHim, accidentally revealed their true identity... It was Lu Yao. His latest post read: Look at God Ji! So fair and pretty, you can't lose by investing in him! Take my advice, everyone, become his fan!!!! Reading guide: 1. A bold-talking bottom who acts confident but is timid inside, and a brooding, flirtatious puppy-like top. 2. An original MOBA game with no real-life character inspirations. Esports setting, but you can follow along even if you don't play games. 3. The author doesn't know much about esports. This is a practice piece for stress relief, so feel free to come and go, but please don't leave comments. The author is sensitive. 4. A/B/O, pregnancy, over-the-top melodrama, and a bottom who attracts everyone. Please add my upcoming novel The Black Lotus Beauty Is Forced to Reform to your reading list. Xie Zhiqing is the illegitimate son of a cultivation family. He was despised and bullied from childhood, and even abandoned in the snow. They share the same Xie family blood. Why should the others get to look down on him and call him lowborn? So he deliberately approached Lu Jingce, an orphan rumored to possess extraordinary talent. He spoke gently to him and cared for him devotedly, all so that one day he could drain Lu Jingce's cultivation and finally avenge himself on the Xie family. But Xie Zhiqing never expected that Lu Jingce would survive after his cultivation was drained and he was pushed off a cliff. Not only that, his cultivation soared, and he could now control Xie Zhiqing with ease. * Trembling, he backed away. The man before him was cool and dignified, yet in the blink of an eye he had drawn Xie Zhiqing into his arms. In front of the whole world, he kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear: “Master, doing bad things... comes with a punishment.” That night, Xie Zhiqing was forcibly taken back to Cangxue Mountain. Delicate, beautiful ornaments appeared around his slender, pale wrists and ankles. * Xie Zhiqing is vicious and cunning, while his disciple Lu Jingce is upright and noble. No one can understand how two people so utterly different could become cultivation partners. But whenever Xie Zhiqing gets caught doing something bad and dragged back, he reappears with red eyes and a swollen belly, leaning reluctantly in Lu Jingce’s arms. * Lu Jingce was an orphan nobody wanted. Hungry and cold, he fell into the snow. Darkness clouded his vision, but a pair of hands pulled him out, as if the warmest winter sunlight had fallen on him. Even knowing that this light was using him, he was willing. After all, in that endless, long night, that person had given him... A moment of light. Reading guide: 1. A vicious, selfish black-lotus beauty bottom (Xie Zhiqing) and an upright, refined, pitiful top (Lu Jingce). 2. The bottom is selfish and vicious in his pursuit of revenge. The top will “teach him a lesson” later on, but the bottom will not be redeemed. 3. They only have each other. The bottom attracts a lot of attention. Please add my upcoming novel They’re All Desperately Pursuing Me to your reading list. Lu Xuecha transmigrates into a romance survival game called Captive Control. The game’s protagonist is an ordinary college student whose cool, chaste air attracts a crowd of twisted pursuers. One is a highly intelligent business prodigy, polite but rotten to the core. One is a cold, gorgeous celebrity with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The last is a research genius with autism and an overwhelming possessive streak. The three big shots pursue and imprison the protagonist, keeping him by their sides. To win his love, they subject him to both physical and emotional torment, ultimately driving him insane. And no matter which character you pursue in the game, the other two will get involved, leading to a bad ending. * To survive, Lu Xuecha keeps learning how to play their games and outwit them. The business prodigy likes him cool and independent, so he deliberately acts clingy and delicate. The celebrity likes him sweet and genuine, so he deliberately acts affected and pretends to be a scheming green tea. The research genius likes him gentle and kind, so he acts vicious and stupid. At first, everything seems to be going smoothly, until one day he gets confused and mixes up his act... The three big shots remain gentle and composed, never letting anything show. But the madness in their eyes makes Lu Xuecha flee as fast as he can. * Lu Xuecha runs until he's gasping for breath, then finally manages to board a flight abroad. Only after getting on the plane does he realize he's the only passenger. The gloomy, crazed business prodigy stands before him, each step seeming to land on his heart. Lu Xuecha tries to back away, only to stumble into the research genius's arms, a strong arm locking around his slender waist. The celebrity has just returned from a performance. He raises Lu Xuecha's chin with a half-smile: “I told you we wouldn’t bully you. Why are you still trying to run?” Reading guide: 1. A naturally flirtatious beauty bottom and crazy tops who are big shots in every field. 2. The tops are all fragments of one person. Anyone who gets intimate with the bottom is the top. 3. At first the top is crazy and a refined scoundrel. Later he's still crazy, but obedient as a big puppy, and dotes on the bottom. Theme: Keep victory in your heart, give it everything you've got, and never give up.
