The Villain Always Thinks He's a Substitute

Blurb:

After transmigrating into a book, Shen Yiran became a useless young master who shamelessly pursued the male lead. At this moment, he was cornering the male lead's illegitimate younger brother, a future villain, in order to curry favor with the male lead.

Thinking of how the original host would end up bankrupt and the villain would become disabled, he tore up the script and held out a hand to the little villain. "Hey, kid, want to come with me?"

At first, Shen Yiran acted on a whim. But when the little villain risked his life to save him in a moment of danger, Shen Yiran began to care about the little wolf cub.

Those around them didn't know the reason. Seeing a face seven parts similar to the male lead's, they assumed Shen Yiran was treating the little villain as the male lead's substitute.

...Including the little villain.

Watching Shen Yiran grow more and more dazzling, the male lead said with a face full of regret, "I admit that you're the one I like. Can you make that fake leave now?"

After getting beaten into the hospital, the male lead's love turned to hate, and he tried to force Shen Yiran to be with him. But before he could do anything, he ended up homeless on the street.

Shen Yiran, who had made all the preparations to fight the male lead: "???"

The villain hid his sinister smile and put on a well-behaved act, quietly taking all the credit.

Ever since Gu Yuanxiu was born, the people around him had mocked, beaten, and insulted him. Then one day, a hand pulled him out of the mud.

Afraid of losing this warmth, he put away his fangs and claws, humbly and devoutly following his god.

As Shen Yiran's admirers grew in number, Gu Yuanxiu finally couldn't hold back and pulled him into his arms.

His eyes were full of madness, but his voice was choked with tears. "As long as I can stay by your side, I don't mind being your substitute. Can you stop looking at anyone else and just look at me, Big Brother?"

Shen Yiran, who had somehow been dumped by a scumbag: "..."

Which bastard started the rumor that I'm into the substitute trope? Come out and take your beating!

Blurb:

Shen Suian transmigrated into a melodramatic danmei novel as the doomed, early-death white moonlight whom four scum tops desperately wanted but couldn't have.

He tore up the script, took up the devoted-lover persona, and settled into the Imperial Marshal's residence. Every day, he drank tea, sunbathed, petted the gravely injured plant lion in a coma, and teased the fluffy orphaned warrior cubs adopted by the Gu family. Life was pretty carefree.

Then one day, the plant lion suddenly woke up, regained his human form, and cornered him against a wall.

The man was handsome and sturdy, and his long years in a position of power gave him an imposing air.

But now his eyes were lowered, and he seemed inexplicably pitiful. "When I was unconscious, you kept saying every day that you liked me best. I finally woke up, so why are you only playing with that bunch of little cubs?"

Shen Suian: "..."

By chance, Shen Suian overheard the lion, now in human form, discussing a proposal. Thunderstruck, he left a letter and fled in the dead of night.

A few months later, someone knocked at the door. The big lion sat obediently with a wooden tag around his neck: Homeless, please adopt me.

When Shen Suian remained unmoved, it quietly flopped onto its back, hooked its tail around Shen Suian's hand, and pressed it against its soft belly.

The tag flipped over, revealing a line on the back: You touched my belly, so you have to take responsibility for me.

Shen Suian: Hello, Imperial Police? There's a lion trying to scam me!
