Every Story I Write Becomes Sentient

[Exclusively published on Jinjiang. Please support the official release!] As an online novelist, Meng Xingshi regularly abandons his stories and leaves others with terrible endings. No matter how his readers wail and threaten him, he remains unmoved: If I abandoned it on my own merit, why should I have to finish it? Then one day, he came home to find a huge crowd of people, both young and old, outside his door. They claimed to be the characters from his novels, brought to life, and accused him of digging story holes and never filling them. A young man chopped through the stair railing with a kitchen cleaver, his expression icy. “Damn it, Dad! If you won't fill in the holes, you'll end up like this railing!” A young woman tearfully complained to every neighbor who came to watch: “Dad made me quit school and get a job to support my little brother!” A child sat on the ground and wailed: “Dad wants to abandon me again and raise a new baby!” Meng Xingshi: “...?” The neighbors heard all this and called the police. Meng Xingshi: “Officer, it's all a misunderstanding! I'll finish them, I'll finish them, okay?!” I'll finish the story. I swear. But how am I supposed to finish an old story I abandoned years ago? I've forgotten all the foreshadowing and plot! To avoid his “debt collectors,” Meng Xingshi frantically came up with excuses to delay his writing. One day, claiming he'd been invited over, he hid out at the home of a popular author from the same site, Du Qianbo. As soon as he walked in, he saw two neat rows of servants standing in Du Qianbo's home. Du Qianbo: “They claim they came to life from my books and insist on repaying me. I couldn't talk them out of it, so I had to agree.” Meng Xingshi: “...” Comparing yourself to others is enough to drive you mad. Just as the envious Meng Xingshi was about to take his leave, the popular author said, “I read the story you abandoned. I have a few theories about the foreshadowing and what might happen next...” Meng Xingshi: “!! Save me, Great Author!” After sticking by the Great Author's side, he finally finished one book. But his eldest son didn't disappear. Blushing, he said, “Dad, I have my eye on the handsome guy next door. Can you set us up on a date?” Meng Xingshi: “...That's a character from the Great Author's book. You have excellent taste.” Meng Xingshi had no choice but to sound out the Great Author's opinion on a match between them. Once he felt he'd done enough probing, he picked a proper day and invited the Great Author to talk about the match. For some reason, the Great Author was dressed very formally. He listened patiently, then his expression slowly turned peculiar. “Is that all you wanted to talk about?” **Reading Guide** 1.

Blurb: Buried in debt, Rongyao has no choice but to sign a contract with a shady agent and become the assistant of popular star Xue Baitong. As Rongyao works himself to the bone, he can't understand why Xue Baitong is famous. He's bad-tempered and spoiled, can't sing or dance, and is surrounded by scandals. He has nothing going for him but his looks, yet he keeps getting top-tier opportunities and remains a leading star. Just how powerful is his backer? Then one day, Rongyao enters Xue Baitong's home without an appointment and sees him floating in midair, a bright halo behind his head and golden light all around him. That's when he learns that all the big names in the entertainment industry are gods. They gather the power of faith through the fan-following system, then return blessings to their fans in the form of divine abilities, creating a cycle. The singer on tour is the Rain God. The three-time Golden Award-winning actor is the God of Literature. The host of a dating show is the Matchmaker God. Fans following stars are worshippers, chart rankings are offerings of incense, and merchandise is tribute. Rongyao asks cautiously, “So... what kind of god are you?” Xue Baitong replies nonchalantly, “The God of Wealth.” Rongyao: “!!!” From then on, Rongyao serves Xue Baitong with absolute loyalty, tending to his every need and waiting for the God of Wealth to reward him. His debts are paid off, and he has money in the bank. Rongyao becomes obsessed with wealth, completely unaware that Xue Baitong's gaze is gradually changing. Until one day, Xue Baitong puts a ring on his finger himself. Rongyao examines it over and over, delighted. “Is this some kind of artifact that brings good fortune?” Xue Baitong: “No. It's an engagement ring.” Rongyao: “?” Xue Baitong: “?” Theme: Do every job with care, keep improving yourself, and learn not to give up halfway.
