Seven Days of Strange Rules [Infinite]

Jiang Hui woke up to find that he had transmigrated to the tenth year since the rules descended upon the world.

In the future, the rules cycle endlessly, with each cycle lasting seven days. Humanity must obey them to survive; those who break them become anomalies. With no special abilities and reduced to a bottom-tier citizen, he struggles to make his way through this desperate future, facing mysterious rules ahead, brutal anomalies behind, and indifferent AIs all around.

Until Jiang Hui discovers he can return to the past.

The future rules aren't impossible to overcome. All he has to do is prevent the disasters from happening, though the price is killing the anomalies that break the rules...

In the eyes of his family, teachers, and friends, Jiang Hui is a well-behaved boy who always follows the rules and sticks to the plan. To his foster brother, Song Jinshan, especially, he's an innocent, sheltered little brother who needs protection and care.

But Song Jinshan, captain of a special operations organization, encounters an unusually troublesome opponent. Neither friend nor foe, this mysterious and powerful figure always acts one step ahead of him. During one mission, Song finally finds a lead, only to see the brother he has always thought so obedient and sensible, his face cold as he shows no mercy to the culprit kneeling before him and begging for forgiveness.

"Target rule has been cleared."

The year 2075.

Later, the Super S-Class rule [Nightmare] blankets the world. Anyone who falls asleep breaks the rule and becomes an anomaly for good.

Humanity must stay alert at all times, terrified of accidentally falling asleep. Only Jiang Hui isn't afraid of dying. He breaks the rule outright, and sleeps exceptionally well.

At first, everyone thinks he won't survive the first night and prepares to sacrifice him at any moment. Then they receive a text from an anonymous ID called The One From the Future.

"From this moment on, all rules are cleared!"

The next second, an unwinnable situation is turned around, and the dead return to life.

The first thing they say upon waking is, "I saw God..."

Meanwhile, Jiang Hui, just woken from his nap, lazily stretches. "Sorry, transmigrating between two worlds is a little tiring."

A post on a popular app forum once went viral under the title: If you could go back to the past, what would you most want to save?

The answers varied widely.

[Make sure I study hard.]

[My first love, who died young.]

[Tell Grandpa to get a health checkup.]

But the most upvoted answer was just two words.

The apocalypse.

Please add my upcoming story, "What?! The Dating Show Guests Are All My Ex-Boyfriends," to your reading list!

In a perilous quick transmigration world, Meng Yu was forced to complete a scumbag mission. At last, he returned to reality, thinking he could go back to his life as an obscure actor who scraped by and did nothing much.

Instead, financial pressures forced him to join a hugely popular dating show, "100% Heartbeat."

Good news: Dating isn't hard.

Bad news: All the guests are his ex-boyfriends.

The show revolves around a group setting, confinement, coercion, and guesswork. Each guest is a top talent in his field, and the lineup is so impressive that anyone would be charmed. Only Meng Yu knows what they're really like.

Guest One: Li Hong, the first heir to the Shifang Group, who controls half the economy. He's cold as ice in public, but privately suffers from skin hunger and clings so tightly you can barely pry him off.

Guest Two: Jiang Zihao, a Best Actor award winner, whose warm, healing smile and impeccable reputation have earned him nothing but praise in the industry. In truth, he's dark-hearted and obsessive, repressing his violent emotions.

Guest Three: Cheng He, an international SCC racecar driver, arrogant and uninhibited, a straight-as-an-arrow ABC who hates gay men, yet clings to Meng Yu in women's clothes and coquettishly calls him "husband."

They have nothing in common. The only thing they share is that in the quick transmigration world, Meng Yu exploited their weaknesses and tormented them relentlessly, leaving every one of them with a miserable ending.

Meng Yu, about to start a sweet new romance with them all over again: ...Thanks for asking. I really want to run.

Luckily, they have no memories of the quick transmigration world. Meng Yu suddenly thinks he might still be able to salvage things. From now on, he's not a scumbag. He's their perfect, devoted best bro and bestie.

The domineering CEO's skin hunger flares up.

Meng Yu knocks on his door, pretending not to get it. "Dude, if you're itchy, go take a shower."

The Best Actor drinks alone, unable to sleep late into the night.

Meng Yu's eyes light up. "Perfect. Help me plow the half-acre outside my door."

The racecar driver throws a spoiled-girl tantrum.

Meng Yu pulls out a fluorescent Barbie-pink dress with an evil grin. "Sis, come on, this one's perfect for you."

All the guests: He, he, he loves me!

The plan is to go their separate ways after the dating show ends, preferably never to see one another again. But things start to feel wrong, though Meng Yu can't quite put his finger on it.

The bed is always damp whenever he goes to sleep, and the cold, ruthless CEO kindly invites him to share his bed.

The clothes he changes out of mysteriously vanish, and the Best Actor solemnly insists he knows nothing about the blue-tie shirt. No one has seen it.

The brazen racecar driver quietly tells him he bought a beautiful dress and will only wear it for him.

Meng Yu: ...You never even drank the herbal medicine.

[The production team's in-depth interview]

Q: What's your first impression of Meng Yu?

Li Hong (narrowing his eyes): Scheming.

Jiang Zihao (smiling): A pretty new face.

Cheng He (raising an eyebrow): An idiot.

Three months later, the production team holds a vote to pick the most heart-stirring guest. The top vote-getter turns out to be Meng Yu, who joined the show as a civilian contestant.

The guests (confidently): No matter who he chooses, I'm the one who'll end up with him.

Meng Yu (forcing a smile): Please, can you all act normal?!

[Holy crap... Somebody give me a guide to training dogs.]

P.S.

Abstract, gorgeous, irresistible bottom x tops with all kinds of twisted traits

"Ugh, What Do I Do About Having Too Many Boyfriends?"

"I Thought I Was Your One and Only, But I'm One of Five"

"I Lost My Memory, But My Body Didn't. Isn't It Normal to Want to Kiss You?"

A stock-picking romantic battlefield: one person plays with five dogs. Three are shown in the blurb, but there are five in total.

The bottom falls in love in a 1v1 quick transmigration story; the dating show is a stock-picking game.

All the guests have lost their memories and will gradually regain them later. No secondary couples. Includes identity reveals, romantic rivalry, jealousy, and the question, "Who do you really love?"

Theme: No matter what kind of predicament you face, believe in the light.
