After an Extra Marries into a Wealthy Family

My next novel will be "Poor People Aren't Allowed to Write Novels". Please add it to your favorites~ Gu Chen was once a big shot at the transmigration bureau. After going through 999 worlds, he was finally allowed to retire and enjoy a quiet life. He chose to return to a peaceful existence and become an utterly ordinary passerby. So after entering a marriage alliance with the head of the Li family, he spent every day drinking tea and reading the paper, becoming the invisible marriage-alliance spouse he'd always wanted to be. Until His husband's younger brother's company ran into trouble while his husband was overseas. His brother-in-law came begging, handed Gu Chen a suit, and asked him to stand in for his husband and make an appearance. With a sigh, Gu Chen changed out of his silk loungewear, put on gold-rimmed glasses, and attended the business negotiations. The next day, his brother-in-law landed the deal, job offers flooded Gu Chen's mailbox, and headhunters blew up his brother-in-law's phone. His husband's younger sister's film crew hit a crisis when the star playing the book fans' beloved Immortal Venerable dropped out. His sister-in-law came begging, handed him a long sword, and asked him to step in for a few shots. With a sigh, he put on flowing white robes, looking as pure as fresh snow, a swordsman who could chill fourteen provinces with a single stroke. As soon as behind-the-scenes photos came out, the whole internet went wild searching for the immortal swordsman, and his sister-in-law's agent's phone rang off the hook. He happened to pass by the Li Group's headquarters to pick up an invitation and found the company's website under a hacker attack. He casually typed a few lines of code and quickly fixed the problem. The vice president excitedly grabbed his hand. "Which department are you in? I'm giving you a raise and a promotion!" Gu Chen smiled. "No need. Your boss goes to work every day just to make money for me, after all." Li Tingqin married Gu Chen for a business alliance. He'd heard Gu Chen was introverted, extremely socially anxious, and very materialistic. Li Tingqin thought none of that was a problem. It would be great if Gu Chen could just stay home and look pretty. But after he'd been overseas on business for three months: Younger brother: Bro, when are you divorcing your spouse? Please don't hold him back from building a business empire! Younger sister: Bro, when are you divorcing your spouse? Please don't hold him back from conquering show business! Subordinate: Uh... President Li, maybe you should just step aside and let him take over. Li Tingqin raised an eyebrow. "And this is the introverted, extremely socially anxious, very materialistic person you were talking about?" When he returned home, he finally found his marriage-alliance spouse lying in the garden, basking in the sun. The man lazily held out a hand. "President Li, why haven't you sent me this month's allowance yet?" Li Tingqin: "..." Reading Guide: 1. The shou has a slight everybody-loves-him vibe. In other words: #President Li, did you know your spouse's public persona is that of an irresistible, all-conquering gong? # 2. There are lots of onscreen comments and reader comments. 3. The cover character design isn't exclusive, so you may see it elsewhere. Here's a preview of my upcoming novel~ "Poor People Aren't Allowed to Write Novels" Lin Zhixia came from a poor family in the mountains, with nothing to his name. He walked five miles to school every day and studied relentlessly until he got into A University. To pay his tuition, he started writing novels part-time while working. After carefully researching the subject, he decided to create a domineering CEO who could command the wind and rain, and launch him into a battle for supremacy in the city. In his eyes, the richest man in A City, President Gu, face-slapped cannon fodder at auctions by casually bidding over a hundred million. He drove a Ferrari and traveled by private jet... As for the other details, they didn't matter. Unexpectedly, the barrier between dimensions quietly broke. And so The real richest man in A City, Gu Jingyan, suddenly found himself being controlled by some mysterious force. His assistant stared at the presidential suite that had materialized out of thin air in the Four Seasons Hotel, completely bewildered. "...Do we really have to stay there?" The secretary coordinating the flight routes was exhausted. "President Gu, flight plans have to be submitted for approval a day in advance..." His rival laughed mockingly. "Who goes to an auction in person to hold up a bidding paddle? Hahaha... What kind of junk did you buy for a hundred million?" The driver looked uneasily at the Ferrari with no back seat. "Where... would you like to sit?" Gu Jingyan was starting to get used to it. "I'll... sit in the trunk." In the dead of winter, with the wind howling, the whole-house climate-control system suddenly turned into an electric blanket. Doubting its safety, President Gu had no choice but to wrap himself tighter in his quilt. The next day, Gu Jingyan couldn't stop sneezing. Under the butler's puzzled gaze, he could only explain, "It's cold out..." And so, some company owned by a Mr. Wang went bankrupt. Gu Jingyan was bewildered. "...Impressive." After all that torment, President Gu finally switched on the electric blanket. Fortunately, after a great deal of effort, Gu Jingyan finally found the one responsible. "Lin Zhixia, right? I've finally found you..." Lin Zhixia rubbed his eyes, stunned. "No way??? The dimensional barrier broke??? How did President Gu, who's ruling A City in my story, walk right out of the book?!" Then Lin Zhixia saw his President Gu, eyes red, grab him by the collar and pin him in a corner. Lin Zhixia frantically backed away. Something was wrong, very wrong. Was President Gu about to pin him against the wall and kiss him? Gu Jingyan's voice was low and hoarse. "You..." The cold had left him hoarse, so he had to clear his throat. Lin Zhixia was confused. "Me?" The voice was low and hoarse, all right, but I'd written a city power-struggle story, not a CEO romance for Jinjiang! Gu Jingyan ground out, "Stop writing novels!" Lin Zhixia: "Huh?" "But..." Lin Zhixia tugged at the collar Gu Jingyan was gripping. "Why is your nose bleeding?" Gu Jingyan: "..." "The electric blanket gave me a nosebleed." Theme: Love and warmth
