Lin Muting, blessed with breathtaking good looks, was pushed into show business by his awful parents.
After being squeezed dry for years, he finally became an overnight sensation.
But his company's contract was a total trap. He just wanted to leave the industry when it expired.
The company wouldn't let him go, planning to use him as leverage by setting him up with one of their male performers.
That night, Lin Muting escaped the setup and ditched the performer, then ran into the person he'd had a crush on for years.
And got thoroughly worked over.
Lin Junchuo's friend arranged for him to meet a stunner.
The big boss, Lin Junchuo, was very satisfied.
Lin Junchuo: There's a male second lead role in a TV drama coming up. Be with me?
Lin Muting, who was planning to quit show business: ...Fine, I'll take it.
After finishing the drama and spending six happy months with the big boss, Lin Muting discovered that he was pregnant.
Lin Muting: ???
How could a man like him be pregnant?
Was this a joke?
He needed a moment alone.
Then he noticed the big boss was getting awfully close to a woman, and both their families seemed keen on getting them married.
A friend asked Lin Junchuo: Home so early? Got a girlfriend?
Lin Junchuo: I don't have a girlfriend.
Lin Muting, who overheard him: ...Goodbye forever.
He ran away.
The big boss was about to throw Lin Muting a surprise birthday party. "Where's our little rascal?"
Six months later, Lin Junchuo finally found Lin Muting. His belly looked as if he'd swallowed a grain basket, and the villagers said he'd gotten together with a woman.
Lin Junchuo: You must have been eating pig feed to get this fat, right?
Lin Muting stared at him without expression.
So the big boss had to eat pigweed for a month.
The first time Lin Junchuo proposed, he was very casual about it: We've already got a kid, so let's get married?
Lin Muting walked away without looking back.
When Lin Muting had a difficult labor, Lin Junchuo held his hand and proposed for the second time.
Lin Junchuo: We don't need to have the baby. Please, just survive. You can live without me, but I can't live without you.
The big boss's eyes were bloodshot. He cried like an idiot.
Lin Muting yanked out a handful of Lin Junchuo's hair and gritted his teeth. "I can live without you? Do you have any idea I've been in love with you for ten years?"

2. The protagonist has the same name as the protagonist in My Poor Little Darling. From now on, all my danmei protagonists will have this name.

I'm Stuck with the Poor Little Darling Script (Infinite Game)
One-line pitch: So I'm actually the biggest boss behind the scenes~~ I think I'm weak, helpless, and pitiful~~ Suddenly becoming a big shot is such a pain.
Lin Muting looked like a scrawny weakling who'd spent his whole life hungry and cold, with nothing going for him but his face.
His face practically screamed weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Then he discovered he'd entered an infinite game.
Lin Muting: ...
In the first instance, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, he turned out to be the only traitor in the whole game.
That's right, the traitor who could only survive if everyone else died.
We're doomed!!!
Meanwhile, all the other players were being driven insane by this famous painting that supposedly every Chinese person knew.
Who could recite Su Dongpo's Ode to the Red Cliffs without getting a single character wrong?
They weren't high school students taking college entrance exams. They'd graduated decades ago!
Who could paint Su Dongpo's Withered Tree and Strange Rocks?
They weren't painters!!
Who could recite Ouyang Xiu's The Old Drunkard's Pavilion, and write it in regular script, too?
It's the internet age! Who still writes that damn calligraphy with a brush!!!
Could they please cut it out? Several of them weren't even Chinese!
Instance: Plants vs. Zombies
Every contestant turned into a plant.
You've got to be kidding. They'd never played this stupid game!
Lin Muting: Thanks for asking. I log in every day to finish my plant expeditions, draws, and daily shard quests.
Instance: Green Jade Table: Lantern Festival
You've got to be kidding. Everyone in this instance has to solve lantern riddles. All right, all right, that's fine.
But a few hours later...
This damn game! Every lantern riddle comes to life. Get one wrong and you're practically going to hell!
Lin Muting: I once solved the riddles all down an entire street and won a cart full of lanterns. You bunch of amateurs.
Couple: A domineering, refined, wealthy, devoted, talented, split-personality gong and a shou who seems weak, helpless, and pitiful but is actually a real powerhouse.
Notes:
1. Shou-focused story. He's great at playing weak to catch the strong, and loves showing off.
2. Fans of The Untamed and Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, please stay away.
Theme: A secret crush comes true.
