Upcoming novel: Deeply Devoted Supporting Male Lead Quits

Blurb:

Zuo Che, a shadow guard, died protecting his master. After death, he was reborn in the modern world as a bodyguard.

Then he discovered that he wasn't just a bodyguard. He was also working two side gigs as a stand-in.

President Jiang had a beloved who was out of reach, so he settled for the next best thing: his bodyguard, Zuo Che, who also served as the beloved's stunt double.

Outsiders all said President Jiang was faithful and remarkably devoted. Those in the know, however, understood that Zuo Che was merely someone else's stand-in.

A stunt double on set, and still a stand-in off it.

But when faced with a face just like his master's, Zuo Che decided to take both jobs.

Later, when the beloved quit the production, Zuo Che stepped into his role as the stunt double's stand-in. The show became a classic, and Zuo Che rose to fame overnight.

Later, when the beloved came back, Zuo Che willingly stepped aside. At the awards ceremony, however, President Jiang, who was constantly rumored to be involved with the beloved, cornered him backstage. A malfunctioning PA system broadcast the man's anguished, heartfelt confession: "Come home with me, okay? I only have you."

The entire internet: "...?!"

The next day, several hashtags shot to the top of the trending lists.

Only President Jiang's friends knew that Zuo Che was Jiang Chenyuan's one and only.

Pairing: Cool, cute, and tough bottom x A blind-to-love, shameless top

Reading guide:

1. Sweet melodrama, with both angst and sweetness. Readers who only like pure fluff, beware.

2. The bottom is two years older than the top.

Blurb for another upcoming novel:

Ye Qingchu likes the delicate junior, Wen Jingxi.

But Wen Jingxi is in love with a scumbag.

For that scumbag, he comes out publicly, ends up homeless, and even watches the man get involved with countless women, yet never wavers in his devotion.

Ye Qingchu never stood a chance.

But when Wen Jingxi's same-sex relationship is exposed, he names Ye Qingchu as his boyfriend. When he ends up homeless, Ye Qingchu is the one he turns to. Even when the scumbag's fiancee comes looking for him, Ye Qingchu is the one who gets chewed out.

Everyone knows Ye Qingchu and Wen Jingxi are a couple. Everyone also knows Wen Jingxi is secretly involved with the scumbag.

In this scumbag-top-and-doormat-bottom drama, Ye Qingchu gets cheated on in the clearest possible terms.

He thought he had long since grown used to enduring the torment, pretending everything was fine under Wen Jingxi's pleading, dependent gaze.

Until one day, he and someone else witnessed the scumbag and his doormat lover getting back together.

Ye Qingchu's heart finally turned to ash, and he decisively ended things.

He didn't see the tall young man who had come with him smile silently.

Thank goodness the person you love treats you badly.

P.S. The top has had a longtime crush on him and has turned into a yandere.

Age-gap story. The bottom starts out as a top, then becomes a bottom. After breaking up with the doormat, he gets together with the top.

Theme: Change your fate and live as your true self.
