Why Has My Cold, Fierce Husband Suddenly Turned Goofy?

[Complete. The only authorized edition and bonus polished scenes are on Jinjiang. My new novel, My Lazy Fish Becomes a Dad to a Little Overachiever, is now available!] Ji Li was the "greatest mind" in the engineering college, with a wide range of interests and a refined, untroubled temperament. Entirely focused on his work, he reached the age to marry and successfully entered into an arranged marriage with Qi Muchu, a legendary business magnate, stepping into married life. Everyone knew that CEO Qi was aloof, taciturn, and busy with work, and rarely came home. After marriage, Ji Li had no choice but to live alone in a riverside apartment, spending his monthly allowance of 500,000 yuan while continuing to pursue his passion. They'd only slept together eight times in a year of marriage. With a husband who was so fit and had so much stamina, it felt like a waste of his youth. But Ji Li the lazy fish was still very, very satisfied with his life. Then one day, Qi Muchu suddenly changed. Not only did he start flirting with Ji Li like crazy, but he also became incredibly jealous. Ji Li chatted casually with the domineering CEO who lived downstairs. Qi Muchu, glaring at him: So that's the rich old man who's trying to steal you away? Ji Li talked with a junior colleague from the research institute. Qi Muchu, dripping with sarcasm: So you really do prefer younger guys. Ji Li: ? The riverside apartment became a luxurious mansion set apart from the world, the 500,000 yuan allowance became all of Qi Muchu's assets handed over to him, and their original eight times a year turned into eight times in one night... Ji Li: ??? * Only later did Ji Li find out that Qi Muchu had gone crazy. He believed everyone was living inside a stock-selection romance novel. In CEO Qi's imagination, Ji Li was the universally adored protagonist bottom in the novel, while CEO Qi was the cannon-fodder top about to be voted out by the readers. To avoid losing, Qi Muchu decided to win Ji Li over: keep a close watch on the other "stocks" while showing off his charms as a top, and strive to become the readers' favorite pick... Considering the importance of keeping his meal ticket stable, Ji Li put up with it. Sometimes he even pretended to be won over and played along with the act. He happily accepted the tens of billions in assets CEO Qi gave him. CEO Qi wanted to feel needed, so Ji Li racked his brains and made a to-do list with a hundred items. There was only one thing Ji Li couldn't put up with. After yet another eight times, as he watched the darkness outside give way to the first light of dawn, Ji Li got angry: "If you keep this up, I can't take it! And you're not going to win me over!" Qi Muchu: ... Should he tell his wife that things had already stopped going the way he thought they would? #The domineering CEO top is no longer influenced by the plot, so when his wife plays along, he decides to play along too# #A top full of tricks# CEO Qi: Can't be helped. The transmigration into a book was fake, but my wife really is universally adored. One-on-one, both each other's first love, in a world where same-sex marriage is legal. [Brilliant, universally adored, slightly ditzy bottom x cold, sharp-tongued demon king top] Updated Reader's Guide: I made major changes to the whole story's setup to better capture what the blurb's premise was meant to convey. Readers who have already read it will need to start over, as the story is completely different from before. All the school sections have been removed, and it now goes straight into an adult, marriage-first, love-later story. New readers can jump right in.

Coming Soon 1: My Lazy Fish Becomes a Dad to a Little Overachiever Shen Qing transmigrated into a book as a lovesick, villainous cannon-fodder character, taking the place of his beloved and marrying a frail tycoon. The tycoon not only had little time left to live and could only use a wheelchair, but also came with two burdensome kids. The cannon-fodder character was thoroughly unhappy with the whole family. When Shen Qing transmigrated, the original had just stood in the living room and berated the tycoon's two burdensome kids, one big and one small: "Your uncle is useless now. From here on, this family will do as I say!" Shen Qing: ?... What kind of person says something so cruel to such adorable children? Shen Qing glanced at the Spring Festival Gala playing on the TV and immediately changed his tune: "...You'll do as I say, and we'll all make dumplings for your uncle together!" Behind him, the tycoon sat in his wheelchair, watching him with a sinister expression: ? * Shen Qing had transmigrated into a very long, old-fashioned, melodramatic novel. The tycoon he'd married was the novel's first cannon-fodder character, and would soon die of illness. Left behind, his two nephews would be mistreated by their evil aunt, forcing them to work hard and become little overachievers. They would eventually become powerful villains who did every evil deed imaginable. Thinking of his future fate, being cruelly tortured to death by the two overachievers, Shen Qing: ...Your uncle may be about to leave the story, but your aunt will use the billions he leaves behind to take good care of you! So why study? A fortune worth tens of billions is enough to last you a lifetime. Kids should just have fun! Unfortunately, the kids' overachiever instincts were already deeply ingrained. Faced with two children who followed strict routines every day, Shen Qing had no choice but to cruelly impose dozens of ironclad house rules: 1. If you don't take your little dad to the amusement park once this week, you can't go to French tutoring next week. 39. If you sneak textbooks into the amusement park, you're not allowed to study physics for a week! 40. You have to watch the new movie with your little dad, OwO. Then you can study! Under Shen Qing's "strict" guidance, the two little ones finally learned to smile and have fun. Of course, they were only doing it to make their little dad happy. They still secretly read books under the covers. "We have to study hard. We have to protect our little dad!" The three-and-a-half-year-old dragon-pride baby said solemnly, folding his chubby arms. "That's right." The six-and-a-half-year-old gloomy little one smiled helplessly. "Otherwise, what would our little dad do? He's so lazy." Later, even the frail tycoon, gloomy and vicious by nature, started looking at Shen Qing differently. Shen Qing pitied him for his tragic background, his short life, and the fact that he'd never been in a relationship. Every now and then, he'd give him a kiss or a hug, offering affection like family... all in repayment for the inheritance he'd get when the man died. But after some time, the tycoon was still alive. Not long after that, the tycoon stood up! Shen Qing: ? He can stand??? Help...! [Bottom who wants to live well but always chooses to take it easy and let things happen x Top who wants to die, but has to keep getting back up to clean up after his wife] - Coming Soon 2: Then Let's Be a Sweet Little A! Sheng Chao transmigrated from the twenty-first century into a future ABO world and became a tall Alpha with exceptionally long legs. On his very first day, an O with fair skin, stunning looks, and enticing pheromones made him weak in the knees. Sheng Chao knew nothing at the time. He opened his mouth and bit the O, marking him on the spot. He thought one bite wouldn't matter. He didn't realize that was called a temporary mark! Under interstellar law, an A who marks an O has to take responsibility for them forever! Sheng Chao: 1551, what do I do? He only wants to be the bottom, but can't make this little O happy. But he also doesn't want to be a heartless A who won't take responsibility! Luckily, after looking into it, Sheng Chao learned that O and A only differ in the strength of their pheromones. Otherwise, their functions are the same. That stunning, fair-skinned O also had eight-pack abs and long legs. And... that O had everything an A had. As a gay virgin from the twenty-first century, whose knowledge of sex was limited to having watched pigs run but never eaten pork, Sheng Chao thought this would be easy. He simply lay flat in front of the O who came looking for him: I'm fine with it. Top or bottom is just a position, right? You can take the lead from now on. Yu Cheng: ... Later, Sheng Chao was thoroughly marked by that O. Only afterward did Sheng Chao learn that the O was the protagonist of the book, a super-incredible, powerful badass who had risen from commoner to Imperial Marshal! This badass was brilliant, fierce in a fight, vicious, and vindictive! And he hated being an O more than anything, let alone being marked by an A... Sheng Chao still shudders at the thought: Good thing I lay flat early. Yu Cheng: ... Yu Cheng wrapped one arm around his own sweet little A's waist, lifted him up, and carried him away. "There, there. Don't fuss." Sigh, things really weren't like that at all. Theme: Young people working together to build a better society.
