With a Face Like Mine, What Can't I Do? [Entertainment Industry]

[Complete! Please leave a five-star review! The fake sister-in-law story next door, The Gu King Omega Is Super Annoying, has started serializing! See the blurb below. Updates daily, please add it to your favorites TVT]

Qiao Yining is Reborn, and discovers that the world he lives in is actually a harem novel. He is the vicious cannon-fodder bottom who relentlessly pursues domineering CEO Top 1 and causes all sorts of trouble for the aloof protagonist bottom.

Qiao Yining bursts into tears. He didn't want any of this! During the first run of the story, the author held him hostage. His real consciousness was asleep, and he never even liked Top 1!

Thankfully, this time he's cleared the water out of his head and his intelligence is back on top, so he decides to be a cannon-fodder top.

He only has to mingle with Tops 1, 2, 3, and 4, show his face in front of the protagonist bottom and confess to him. Now that everything below the neck is off-limits, he doesn't even have to put out. Once the protagonist and Top 1 get their happy ending, he can pretend to be heartbroken and make a graceful exit. Then the sky's the limit and the world is his oyster!

That's a much better deal than being a cannon-fodder bottom, whose role is basically that of the vicious heroine in a romance novel and whose fate is just as tragic TVT.

Scene One:

His friend, a rich second-generation heir who runs an entertainment company, teases him: "Qiao Qiao, with a face like yours, you'd definitely make it big in show business."

Qiao Yining smiles without a word, thinking proudly: Become a star? That's something bottoms do. We tops are always sugar daddies who keep people!

Manager: Sorry, but you got jealous over a love interest and ended up in the entertainment industry.

Qiao Yining: ...

Scene Two:

He corners the protagonist bottom against the wall and leans in. The latter looks down at him expressionlessly: ...

Qiao Yining: ...

Qiao Yining kindly reminds him: "You're supposed to be scared. I'm not normal."

The aloof beauty's mouth twitches, and he almost laughs.

Reading Guide:

1. One-on-one ending, bottom's perspective. Aloof, scheming top Lin Xingzhi x sweet, innocent bottom. The cover features Qiao Qiao. No side couples.

2. Warning: The bottom, Qiao Yining, is a total heartthrob! Love-triangle chaos ahead!

3. The characters are not based on real people. Please don't mention real people's names.

4. Qiao is a protagonist who grows over time. When he was Reborn, his mental age was only 18. Although it wasn't very different from his body's age, there were still slight differences. His sweet nature and ability to stay clear-headed about important matters aren't contradictory. His natural airheadedness comes from a somewhat inaccurate understanding of the rules of the fictional world.

Pre-publication teaser 1: The Washed-Up CEO's Second Career [Reborn], blurb below

Gu Hongjian is a domineering CEO. He even has the honor of bearing the surname Gu, which in danmei fiction symbolizes an iron-blooded top through and through! It symbolizes status and prestige!

Until now, Gu Hongjian has been diligently doing his job as a domineering CEO.

Then one day, he dreams that someone called "the Author" tells him, "Sigh, domineering CEOs aren't popular anymore. Whenever I write one, people say he's greasy. Maybe I should give you a new character setting."

Gu Hongjian: ... He'd already lived to be twenty-eight. Could his character setting really be changed just like that?

But he is a domineering CEO, so he remains calm and asks the author, "What are you planning to change it to?"

The author hasn't decided either, and just keeps shouting, "Oh, whatever! Just do your best. Whether this story takes off or flops is all up to you!" Then, with a snap of the fingers, Gu Hongjian is Reborn.

Gu Hongjian returns to five years earlier and wakes up in his luxurious bed, big enough for five people. He sees the protagonist bottom he had just taken by force, whose eyes fill with humiliation as he brings in breakfast. Then he remembers the soccer team of rivals waiting outside, and falls silent.

...He's not a domineering CEO anymore. What is he supposed to do now?

Scene One:

Gu Hongjian says gravely, "Give the order. I want to develop a game."

Special Assistant: Wow, the boss must be developing a real man's competitive game, like x Crossfire or x Police!

Gu Hongjian: "I want a romance gacha mobile game aimed at women, with lots of male characters to pursue."

Special Assistant: "?"

Gu Hongjian: Heh. I have money magic as a CEO. I'll commission a whole range of character types, then use user data to figure out what everyone likes. How could I fail to come up with the perfect character settings?

Scene Two:

Gu Hongjian: "Here's a hundred million. Take it and run away with him. Don't come back."

The original protagonist bottom, wearing an apron and cleaning the windows: ?

The original cannon-fodder top, rushing over to rescue the protagonist bottom: ?

Please Note:

1. A conscientious, serious-minded CEO bottom. Multiple love interests, one-on-one ending.

2. Warning: Love-triangle chaos and heartthrob protagonist!

Pre-publication teaser 2: The Gu King Omega Is Super Annoying, blurb below

[What you can't have will always keep you restless]

Bottom's Perspective:

A car accident puts Yin Shixue's parents in intensive care, unconscious and still unresponsive.

Wolves circle outside, hoping to devour the Yin family's business. Inside, the shareholders scheme for power, all eyeing the chairman's seat.

The moment his flight home lands, his fiance Qin Hexuan comes to meet him and says, "If you agree to the Qin family's acquisition of the Yin Group, we can still be a married couple."

And as his husband, he would naturally help him deal with the Yin Group's current crisis.

Faced with upheaval in both his family and company, and his fiance taking advantage of the situation, Yin Shixue slowly lights a cigarette in the vast darkness of night.

Amid the rising clouds of smoke, he suddenly laughs.

Yin Shixue nonchalantly tells the fiance who's come to take advantage of him, "Are you done? If you are, get lost."

But just after he kicks one man out, his ex-fiance's younger brother, once his brother-in-law, comes to him of his own accord and says he can help.

Yin Shixue sees the tips of his ears turn red. One eyebrow lifts, and his peach-blossom eyes curve slightly as he says, "You brothers are quite something. Tell me, what do you want?"

When he smiles, the beauty mark at the corner of his eye seems all the more vivid. Like a vermilion mole burning on a lover's heart, it radiates passion that never fades.

Top's Perspective:

Ten years ago, Qin Jingcheng had just presented as an Alpha when he fell in love at first sight with his older brother's fiance.

Please Note:

1. Bottom's perspective, one-on-one. Face-slapping, comeback, and career-building. Tsundere, wolfdog Alpha top x the Gu King Omega bottom, a dazzling beauty who takes charge of every situation.

2. An alternate universe with my own take on ABO. Includes elementary-school-level business battles, vulgar melodrama, and a fake sister-in-law story.

3. No children, no children, no children. Important things must be said three times.

Theme: Whatever cards you're dealt from the start, do your best with them through your own efforts. Good causes naturally attract good results. Give and receive in kind, and trade sincerity for sincerity.
