After Raising Fish and Dogs, the Player Gets Caught

[New novel now out: The Sickly Alpha Becomes the Movie Emperor's House Cat] [=====Synopsis=====] "If life is a game, I'll always be the winner." Wei Chu, overall grade A+, has an unconventional way of completing missions. He crafts perfect traps of love, luring people into a swamp of sweet nothings. Love is just the sharpest weapon there is. What true feelings could there be? After being set up by a shameless villain, Wei Chu is forced to take part in the "Guiding Beacon Program." This has to be the plot of a wish-fulfillment novel! He's the golden finger sent by heaven to help the protagonist! To support the protagonist, Wei Chu has no choice but to return to his old tricks and put his talents to use. He raises a school of fish in a vast pond, trains a dog, and keeps sweet-talking everyone. But Wei Chu never expected that, aside from raising fish... without even realizing it, he'd also turn the protagonist into his own puppy? Protective, jealous, and a wolf in sheep's clothing. He even wants to bite the fish Wei Chu raised to death! This is nothing like a wish-fulfillment novel! Wei Chu thought he was here to help the protagonist succeed. He never expected the puppy and all his fish to covet his affections, drooling over him. All they want is to fall in love! Wei Chu only wanted to be an emotionless tool, that's all. Use them and run. See ya! Don't want to see you again! But... #I'm a playboy with a pond full of fish. I must be a scumbag# #My fish met each other, my lies were exposed, and my pond blew up# #I raised fish to raise a dog# #But I never expected the dog and the fish to be the same person. I crashed and burned# [On the surface, a playboy catches fish and raises a dog. Behind the scenes, the real mastermind waits to close the net] [The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind] [The world is my board, and I am the bait. I designed a game for you and set a trap] [Planned Worlds] 1) Cultivation and swordsmanship [multiple versions of the love interest] (Complete) 2) Chaos among the human, demon, and devil realms [multiple versions of the love interest] (Complete) 3) Modern dating-sim game [1v1] (Complete) 4) Prequel: Survival and escape (Stranded on an island) [1v1] (Complete) 5) Extras [1v1] (Complete) #P.S. Worlds 3 and 4 can be purchased and read on their own, and are almost unrelated to Worlds 1 and 2# [=====Reader's Guide and Content Warnings=====] 1. The main character is the pursuer, and the story has two POVs. The pursuer is a gorgeous, irresistible heartthrob, both innocent and seductive. Happy ending, 1v1, no children. Since the love interest has multiple versions in the first two worlds, readers who insist on the characters being each other's first and only partners should take note. Don't skip the author's note after Chapter 1; it has some extra information. 2. Wei Chu's feelings develop through several stages: using the other person, growing reluctant to hurt them, falling in love, then developing a very strong mutual attraction. In the middle and later parts, the protagonist tends to dote more on Wei Chu. Both the pursuer and the love interest matter to me, so readers with extreme character allegiances should steer clear. 3. Is this a purely sweet story? Even angst can be sweet. 4. This isn't a plot-driven power fantasy. At its core, it's a chaotic romantic standoff, with most characters love-struck and craving Wei Chu. There are also supporting characters who like Wei Chu, along with the puppy and the fish. 5. In terms of strength, the fish and puppy (after growing stronger) > Wei Chu > the supporting characters. In terms of emotional control, Wei Chu holds the upper hand. 6. Expect melodrama, stupid side characters, and plot holes, as well as a few secondary couples of different orientations. ★ Exclusively published on Jinjiang. This is the only official version.
