After Becoming a Paper Doll, My Mortal Enemy Took Me In

Xi Yan transmigrates into a study app and becomes its little study spirit. Staring at a tiny house with bare walls and a stunted little body, he lives on welfare payments and steamed corn buns. Then he discovers that his owner is the very rival he barely managed to escape in his previous life. Xi Yan bursts into tears: Damn it, he might as well have died.

,

A strange app suddenly appears on Bo Yuanbai's phone, one he's never seen before. Curated question banks, lessons by renowned teachers, a boot camp from hell... It's everything he needs.

[System: Your little dumpling is hungry.]

[System: Your little dumpling has fallen asleep.]

[System: Your little dumpling is hungry.]

[System: Your little dumpling has fallen asleep.]

Bo Yuanbai: ...This little study spirit does nothing but eat and sleep. Is it useful for anything at all?

Until one day.

[System: Your little dumpling is sick.]

Bo Yuanbai finally opens the little house.

The little dumpling lies on a bare bed board, curled up and trembling. A line of tiny text appears in the lower-left corner.

Little dumpling: Why won't Bo Yuanbai just die already? Waaaah!

Bo Yuanbai: "..."

,

Seeing the little dumpling's strangely familiar face, Bo Yuanbai spends the points he's earned by painstakingly doing practice questions on little dumpling necessities and a little dumpling gourmet meal set, the first time he's ever redeemed something that is completely useless to him.

The System continues sending notifications right on schedule every day.

[System: Your little dumpling is hungry.]

[System: Your little dumpling is awake.]

[System: Your little dumpling is trying on the new clothes you bought.]

Bo Yuanbai opens the little house again.

The little dumpling slips into the covers.

Another line of tiny text appears in the lower-left corner.

Little dumpling: Pervert! Who said you could spy on me? Go do your practice questions already!

Bo Yuanbai: "."

[From Chapter 21 onward, the novel will be released as a paid work on January 10.]

Sweet, tsundere cutie vs. taciturn, cool guy. The blurb is for reference only. This is a story of mutual healing, and the early chapters will be a little heavy. Xi Yan eventually leaves the phone, and there will be real-life raising-the-kid scenes.

The love interest is in the phone at first, and the story has more chapters from the pursuer's perspective early on. The overall ratio of pursuer to pursued perspectives is about 1:2. If it's not for you, feel free to stop reading.

2. I Went Viral After Getting Married and Joining a Dating Show

Xin Ran finally works up the courage to break up with his ex-boyfriend. Less than three days later, his mother introduces him to a promising young Alpha, saying they were engaged as children. Xin Ran had rejected the arrangement because of his ex-boyfriend. When he meets the man again, Xin Ran feels terribly embarrassed. Fortunately, the man says the marriage will be one of convenience: Xin Ran only has to help him deal with his family, and nothing else is expected of him. If they don't get along after a year, Xin Ran can ask for a divorce and receive a large settlement.

Xin Ran is a laid-back nobody in the entertainment industry, with no real ambition. He's happy as long as he gets the occasional acting job. After they marry, he has to join a dating reality show with his husband. Xin Ran is very well-behaved, thinking he needs to be proactive and can't be lazy like before. He wants to help his husband make a good impression on the audience.

But when they get on the show, Xin Ran reaches for some fruit and goes to find a knife. His husband takes the fruit away, then sets a plate of fruit salad in front of him.

Xin Ran can't get up in the morning, so he sets ten alarms, but sleeps peacefully until ten. When he finally gets up, every alarm has been turned off.

Xin Ran doesn't like shrimp or crab because they're too much trouble to eat, but he still decides to peel shrimp for his husband. In the end, all the shrimp meat is placed in front of him. His husband takes off his gloves and says casually, "If you like it, eat more."

Xin Ran... Xin Ran doesn't have to do a thing. His husband takes care of everything.

The walk back from the seaside is a little long, so his husband stops and carries him on his back. Xin Ran rests against him and whispers, "How are you so nice to me?" He's not even his real other half.

His husband says, "Because you're wonderful, too."

And that's why you deserve to be treated this way.

,

When the dating show ends, Xin Ran gets lots of work offers. After finally finishing up, he hurries home, eager to see his husband. But when he opens the bedroom door, the overwhelming scent of pheromones makes his legs go weak. His husband is lying on his bed, which is covered in his clothes. The man who usually seems so untouchable has become fragile and sensitive during his heat. His eyes are damp as he sees Xin Ran, his ears turning red. "Ranran."

Xin Ran is pulled into the nest his Alpha has made. He hears the Alpha whisper into his ear, his voice strained with desire: "Ranran, I love you."

Xin Ran's eyes widen in surprise, but when the kiss falls, he still clutches the man's clothes with trembling hands.

,

His ex-boyfriend can't believe Xin Ran could move on so quickly. A rushed marriage doesn't prove anything; maybe it's just for the connections. The laid-back Xin Ran could even land a leading role and upstage him. But on the set of his new show, in a quiet corner, Xin Ran's new husband lowers his head and kisses him, his expression utterly besotted.

Theme: Strive for a better future, for each other.
