Please add my currently updating story to your collection: "The Phoenix Perches for Me [Book Transmigration]" Luo Lan transmigrates into the body of a character with the same name in a danmei novel, a lovesick fool who is infatuated with the protagonist, Jin Fengqi. The original Luo Lan is rich, powerful, handsome, and talented. He could have been an untouchable beauty, but instead he insists on being a weed at someone's heels, throwing himself at Jin Fengqi, pursuing him relentlessly, and refusing to take no for an answer. When Jin Fengqi wants to enter the entertainment industry, Luo Lan throws money at him, opens a studio to give him resources, and signs him on. When Luo Lan transmigrates in, he wants to cut his losses. But the power of the plot forces him to keep playing the role of someone deeply in love with Jin Fengqi. Jin Fengqi is icy. Jin Fengqi is sarcastic. Jin Fengqi throws tantrums and makes a scene. And Luo Lan loves him all the same. That is, until the original story finally reaches the day they're supposed to break up. Jin Fengqi argues with him: "Luo Lan! If you keep this up, we're breaking up!" Luo Lan agrees readily: "You said it, not me!" Jin Fengqi: ??? Everyone in the industry knows Jin Fengqi never touches alcohol. There's a reason for that. Once, when Jin Fengqi got drunk, he called someone more than a dozen times, but no one answered. He kept calling until his phone died, clutching it and murmuring to himself: "Liar! Didn't you say you loved me?" "Do you think I'm poor? I have money now..." "If you'll get back together with me, all my money is yours." "I never agreed to it, so we never broke up." Blurb two: Jin Fengqi knew from a young age that the world was never fair. No matter how hard he schemed or what methods he resorted to, he could never have the ordinary happiness and joy other people took for granted. He was like an odd beggar, preferring to hold himself close for warmth on cold nights rather than beg someone to give him affection. In his heart lived a proud little phoenix that would never stop for anyone. Then one day, even a beggar found a companion. No matter how much he tested them or tried to drive them away, they were willing to stay by his side. He felt uneasy, yet secretly delighted. At last, his little phoenix had somewhere to rest. Then, one day, his companion left him. From that moment on, he had only one goal in life. He would find him. He would cross mountains and rivers to bring him back. Scheming star top Jin Fengqi x unlucky agent bottom Luo Lan This isn't a melodramatic angst story. At heart, it's a sweet-and-sour romance: the bottom spoils the top in the beginning, and the top spoils the bottom later on. Theme:
