After I Transmigrated Into a Book, My Obsessive Childhood Friend Was Reborn

[My next book, "After Being Possessed, I Fell Into a Love Triangle," is now underway. If you're interested, come check it out!]

------- Blurb -------

Wen Xi transmigrates into a book, becoming the villainous male supporting character in Dear Mr. Song, who has nothing going for him but his looks. In the story, he's so nasty he's practically evil. He enjoys bullying his childhood friend, Si Jing, and even after accidentally killing him in their second year of high school, he doggedly keeps chasing the story's male lead. After graduating in their final year, he's stabbed to death in an alley.

For the sake of his life, Wen Xi should have packed up and fled that very night. But when he sees his childhood friend, bruised and miserable, his thoughts take an uncontrollable turn. So begins his clumsy attempt at comforting and caring for him.

.

Si Jing knows there might be something wrong with him mentally. There's his gratitude and self-restraint from his previous life, for example, and how in this life he treats this different Wen Xi as a source of amusement. Watching Wen Xi grow happy or sad in response to his little tricks gives him a strange thrill of control.

He just never expected that even the finest hunter could make a mistake. The prey in his hands has turned the tables and trapped him instead.

.

On the night Wen Xi comes of age, Si Jing wraps his little quail in his arms. "I heard you're moving out. What, are you not going to look at the stars anymore? I remember someone saying this was our home, a secret base belonging only to the two of us."

Wen Xi, already well acquainted with Si Jing's nature, plays along. "I never said I was moving out. Don't believe every rumor you hear."

Si Jing's voice grows gentler. "I like Xiao Xi best, and Xiao Xi likes me best too, right?"

Wen Xi's ears turn bright red. "Right..."

.

A great actor / sweet on the outside, dark within / teases his quail, then gets in over his head / reborn top × thinks he's a great actor / little sunshine / completely under the top's thumb / transmigrated-into-a-book bottom. The top is scheming; the bottom initially treats him like a child. If that's not your thing, maybe we'll meet another time.

They both make an exception for each other: you're the only one I favor, the one who's special. I like you simply because you're you.

They're both slow on the uptake. Everyone in the world except the two of them knows they're a couple.

...Next up: After Returning to My Own World, I Fell Into a Love Triangle...

After waking up from a car accident, Shen Jia is told by his almost-brother, childhood friend Xiao Suo, that he's lost two years of memories. He feels pretty unlucky, but when he hears nothing important happened to him during those two years, he lets it go.

But before he can even leave the hospital, an unfamiliar boy blocks his way, looking disdainful. "Shen Jia, what kind of game are you playing this time? Is all this just to force me to come see you?"

While Shen Jia stands there, baffled, Xiao Suo tells him, "This person loved you but couldn't have you, so he grew to hate you. His delusions are severe."

After Shen Jia returns to school, strange people keep turning up.

"Senior, you look really good when you smile."

"Didn't you say you liked me too?"

"Shen, um, I looked up what 'the moon is beautiful tonight' means."

Watching one strange guy after another flock to him, and seeing even the unfamiliar boy from before change his attitude, Shen Jia looks at his childhood friend in confusion. "Did I really only lose two years of my memory?"

Xiao Suo sets his investigation report aside and gently strokes Shen Jia's head. "Of course. The past two years were completely unimportant."

"Really?" Shen Jia blinks in bewilderment, even the beauty mark beneath his eye seeming puzzled. Then he casually asks, "What were you just reading?"

Xiao Suo pushes up his glasses, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly behind the plain lenses. "The origin of the universe and the growth of all things." And how to elegantly erase someone's existence.

Sweet on the outside, dark within, yandere top × silly beauty bottom. The bottom hasn't lost his memories; he's been possessed. He's everyone's favorite, a genuine idiot, bad at studying, and unaware that he's flirting. The top gets jealous, goes crazy, plays the victim, acts innocent, spreads rumors about his rivals: a jack-of-all-trades.

One-on-one romance. The bottom's name is Jia, and the top's is Suo. They're made for each other, so don't ship them with the wrong people.

Theme: Saving each other and becoming better people together.
