Delicate, but Living Off Men [Quick Transmigration]

[My new novel, “The Adoration Syndrome [Quick Transmigration],” is now live] [Complete. Bonus chapters will be posted whenever inspiration strikes.] Shui Que was sickly and frail. Born into the apocalypse, he had a miserable life, and then he died. “Ding-dong! Soft-Rice System has detected that your Delicate Score is maxed out, and your Beauty Score is maxed out. OMG, baby, your stomach is bad too! You were born to live off someone else. Join us, and you can have success, a thriving career, and someone else footing the bill. Save yourself thirty years of hard work!” Shui Que: So there really is a way to eat without working? [The Illegitimate Alpha with Pheromone Dysregulation] He was an illegitimate son of unknown parentage. After his mother died, he was brought back to a wealthy family, where his father ignored him, his stepmother treated him coldly, and even his allowance was controlled by his eldest brother, the head of the household. A vain, soft-rice-eating Alpha, he would lose himself in material pleasures. Using his pheromone disorder as cover, he would pretend to be an Omega to bait rich patrons on livestreaming platforms, while seeking out older brothers at school. His story would end with his deeds exposed and his reputation in ruins. Shui Que diligently lived off others, fulfilling the demands of the rich patrons in his livestream. But the moment he changed into a new outfit, the platform flagged his content as inappropriate and ended the stream automatically. Perplexed, he took a selfie in the mirror and sent it to every older brother on his contact list: Doesn’t it look good? The next second, someone knocked at the door. His stepbrother said, “Open up.” Shui Que: Oh no, I accidentally selected one extra older brother when I sent that message. [The Blind Widower in an Infinite Dungeon] He was a player who scraped by in an infinite world by clinging to powerful allies. Blind, he was not only a burden to his entire team, but also bossed around the No. 1-ranked player, who was also his newlywed husband. Everyone had long since taken a dislike to him. When No. 1 died unexpectedly on a solo mission, he braced himself for the next dungeon to end with ghosts tearing him apart. But the dungeon NPCs did his laundry and cooked for him, while the male lead, No. 2, whom he had bullied in the past, gave him the cold shoulder as he folded his pants. The final boss caught him, tentacles winding around him. “Baby…” [The Gold-Digging Dark Moonlight] He was the gold-digging, dark-moonlight fiance of the male lead in an imperial-examination novel. The male lead worked three jobs a day to support him while preparing for the exams, yet he carried on a secret affair with the male lead’s classmate and teacher. On their wedding night, he ran off with the young marquis he had latched onto. In the end, neglected and despondent, he would die in the back courtyard. Everything went smoothly until the glorious top scholar did not take revenge on him. Instead, he cornered him against a wall, eyes red-rimmed. “I’ll work hard and make money. Come back. I’ll support you.” In the middle of the night, the marquis climbed into his bed. “Still thinking about your little lover?” [The Adopted Kid in a Pay-to-Win Child-Raising Game] He was a hidden character in a child-raising game. Players who drew him would play a parent raising him, but his weapons cost money, his clothes cost money, and even his mood and energy required payment. Despite all that, he was still a pretty ornament with absurdly low starting stats. During the beta, a popular streamer posted a video denouncing the game, and the entire internet piled on. The developers gave up on launching it. The popular streamer who should have been condemning him instead said: “Welcome to my stream, everyone! Come see my baby! He’s in a bit of a bad mood today, but that’s okay, Daddy has money! Let’s spend, we can afford it all!” “The new autumn outfit is out. Buy it!” “Wait, why is this NPC suddenly confessing to my kid? Is there an option to kill him? :)” [The Young Sect Leader with a Pure Yin Constitution] He was the young sect leader with a Pure Yin Constitution who broke off his engagement to the domineering male lead. They had grown up together, and he had been the male lead’s first love, making him love him to the point of madness. But as soon as the male lead’s family was destroyed, he broke off the engagement and chose the male lead’s future senior apprentice brother as his new arranged-marriage partner. As the saying went, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west.” In the end, the sect would be destroyed by the domineering male lead. But because the young sect leader needed to absorb cultivation energy, everyone in the sect became a hard-working overachiever. The sect flourished, kicking the Heartless Sword Sect and beating the Buddhist cultivators of the Carefree Hall. And the domineering male lead, now returned in triumph, knelt before the sect leader and presented countless treasures, begging to become his live-in son-in-law. [The Green-Tea Educated Youth in a Period Novel] He was a transmigrator in a period novel, a lazy, greedy green-tea type. Knowing the plot in advance, he would curry favor with the future male lead, who would make his fortune through business. He would trick the male lead’s honest older brother into doing his work and earning labor points, promising to marry him once he got into college. He would swindle every last penny out of the honest man’s pockets. In the end, the male lead would expose his true nature, get him expelled from the educated youth compound, and leave him isolated and helpless, to disappear on the snowy day when the college entrance exams were reinstated. But the honest man knew he had been deceived and was still willing to do anything for him. Meanwhile, the younger brother-in-law who had always disliked him knocked on his door in the middle of the night. “Baby, open up. It’s really me, your brother.” [Tips for Reading This Novel] 1. In the first world, the stepbrother love interest is adopted, has no blood relation to the protagonist, and is not registered in the same household. 2. A shameless, adored baby story. Readers who love trashy romance will be delighted. 3. The love interest is split into different fragments. The fragments with the most scenes and intimate contact are the ones who count. Check out my upcoming novel, “The Adoration Syndrome [Quick Transmigration]”: Xin Hexue died twice. The first time, he was the sickly heir to a remote asteroid, and then he was reborn in the womb of a disgraced consort confined to the cold palace. He dragged his chronically ill body along, coughing up blood twice every three steps whenever a breeze blew, and ascended the throne. Then he was poisoned to death. Someone asked him, “What do you want most?” Xin Hexue answered without hesitation, “To stay alive.” The System bound to him smiled and made him a promise: if he could earn enough affection points and heartbreak points from his targets, he could go to a new world and live to a hundred. Having survived twenty years in the palace, Xin Hexue found acting as easy as eating and drinking. This task would be simple. It was just that he seemed to have a strange illness in every world… [Face Blindness] Xin Hexue was the pampered kept lover of Pei Guangji, the eldest young master of the Pei family. Pei Guangji treasured him and kept him well hidden. Only a few of Pei Guangji’s childhood friends had heard about him. To outsiders, the Pei family’s eldest young master spent an hour at a banquet making six phone calls and checked his communicator every five minutes. They assumed he had finally reached an age where he was ready to settle down, start a family, and take over the family business. Then, because of Xin Hexue, Pei Guangji was in an aircraft accident that left both his legs disabled. He had no choice but to transfer to a hospital in the Federation’s central district for treatment. With barely a breath left, he still asked his childhood friends to take care of the boyfriend he had left at home. His friends were impatient. “Come on, he’s just a Beta, and a low-grade pureblood human at that. A bit of fun is enough.” That was until they finally saw the kept lover hidden away in the villa. He was very beautiful, with a mole at the corner of his eye. He looked like that washed-up young actor who had come from the slums. Looking listless, he sat in a corner, a mechanical cat at his feet swishing its tail and begging for attention. When he saw someone come in, his expression brightened. He hurried over and embraced the visitor, delighted. “Guangji?” His childhood friends were stunned. So Pei Guangji had been telling the truth when he said his kept lover couldn’t tell people apart. [Amnesia] A severe drought nearly killed Xin Hexue, a koi spirit who had not yet cultivated into human form, on the cracked riverbed. A scholar took him home and kept him in a water vat in the courtyard of his farmhouse. Only when the rain finally came was Xin Hexue returned to the river. Xin Hexue remembered this kindness. He waited at a ruined temple outside the capital, hoping the scholar would stop there on his way to sit the imperial examinations. This was a koi spirit who excelled at repaying kindness. But he only had seven days of memories. What’s this? A poor scholar. I should repay him. What’s this? A poor scholar. I should repay him. What’s this? A poor scholar. I should repay him. Xin Hexue kept forgetting important things, so when the examination results were posted… The successful candidates rushed into the ruined temple. The top scholar, wearing a black gauze hat adorned with golden flowers and riding a red-maned horse, declared that he would marry no one but Xin Hexue. [Albinism] Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt were divided by White City, with the White King and the Red King ruling their respective realms. The two countries were locked in endless conflict. The Red King heard that the White King had brought someone back from the banks of the Nile and named him High Priest. Beneath the golden sun, in the scorching desert, the priest was concealed beneath a snow-white hooded robe, not so much as a thread of skin showing. With the High Priest’s help, Upper Egypt enjoyed bountiful harvests, and its granaries were filled with wheat. The Red King also heard that the people of Upper Egypt respectfully called the High Priest a divine envoy from heaven. Some had even seen his face and praised him as “the pearl of the golden sands.” The priest was inseparable from the White King, even sharing his bed. Others said the High Priest was the White King’s favorite concubine. When an embedded spy succeeded in his mission, the Red King looked with satisfaction at the High Priest who had been brought back in chains. He easily lifted the other man’s robe. The color of snow found only atop the highest mountains. White hair, even white eyelashes. The Red King’s eyes were wolfish. He narrowed them sharply as he stared at that jade-like face, touched with a faint blush. He had to admit, his elder brother, the White King, had excellent taste. He, too, longed to hold the pearl of the golden sands in his hands. [Touch Starvation] The Federation’s only SSS-rank Guide held the rank of major general. No one had ever seen his spirit manifestation. His mental power was so immense that he could treat these battle-worn Sentinels without releasing it. In stark contrast to his powerful mental abilities, the major general’s frail body was a source of worry. Many people had seen him at public briefings to reassure the people, his exquisitely beautiful eyes lowered as he covered his mouth to cough, blood soaking his handkerchief. The major general seemed aloof. He always fastened his uniform neatly up to his throat, and his slender, pale hands were covered in black gloves. Only the Sentinels he had treated knew that he was actually gentle. He would comfort them softly, and his mental power felt like the tender waters of spring. Even so, since the major general disliked physical contact, the Sentinels mostly treated him with respect. That changed when a reckless new recruit touched the major general’s hand during treatment. Without the black gloves between them, even the simple act of interlacing fingers made the major general look as if he had been bullied. His eyes turned red at the corners, and he bit his lip. His comrades advised the new recruit to put an end to any inappropriate fantasies. The major general’s husband had died. He had once been the major general’s closest comrade, and no one else could come between them. The new recruit was even more brazen than his SSS-rank combat ability. He bared his canine teeth. “Oh, her husband died? Then I can’t let the major general live like a widow.” [Delusional Love] Four childhood friends, all boys. A frail childhood friend in an alley in 1980s Haicheng, firmly convinced that all the other boys were in love with him. As it turned out, he was right. [Paranoia] A wife NPC in an infinite dungeon. She lives in a pigeonhole apartment in a walled city. Ever since her husband was murdered, she has grown suspicious and anxious. Until she mistakenly seeks shelter with a serial killer.
