Something's Off About My Crush

After Mo Zihan died, he spent three years working frantically in quick transmigration worlds, squeezing every last moment out of his time like a model employee to complete his missions. Then he returned to his own world. Mo Zihan remembered that before he died, he had been on his way to confess his feelings, only to get hit by a car halfway there. Just thinking about it made his history of unrequited love seem tragic. But after transmigrating back, he realized something was off. * To get a new body, Mo Zihan had to complete one more mission in his own world. He inhabited the protagonist shou's body, helping him build his career and take down the scumbag. When he turned around, he found the person he had a crush on gazing at him with a profound look in his eyes. Mo Zihan: "?" While having dinner with a business partner, his crush caught him and struck up a conversation. Mo Zihan: "??" When he went with a friend to his crush's house, his crush took him straight to the rooftop and almost called him by name. Mo Zihan: "???" I'm wearing the protagonist shou's face, so how on earth did you recognize me?! * Mo Zihan was a proud, pampered young master, raised in the midst of endless love. In the eyes of the world, he was gentle and noble, like a bright white moon beyond reach in the heavens. Later, that moon vanished, becoming a sigh for people to share over tea after dinner. Only Fu Cen, his childhood friend who had grown up alongside him, could never let him go, going mad and wild with longing. Anyone who brought him up was doomed. Until one day, Fu Cen attended an event with his nephew's publicly acknowledged young lover, his manner gentle and his eyes concealing deep affection. #The person I had a crush on was secretly in love with me too# [The protagonist will get a new body of his own in the middle to later part of the story! The protagonist gong is extremely restrained and will not have any intimate interactions with the protagonist shou while he's in any body other than his own!!] P.S. General warnings: 1. The author is illiterate; all the worldbuilding came from the author's pothos. 2. The spider plant sometimes joins in the discussions, too. 3. The author, the pothos, and the spider plant are all single. The gong and shou have to handle their own romance; single dogs can't give dating advice. 4. The pothos says plants lose leaves when they're insulted. 5. A smooch for everyone who takes good care of plants~ [Coming soon in my collection: The Scheming Novel's Male Lead Was Bent by Me] Before Shen He could find a boyfriend, he transmigrated into the ultimate cannon fodder in a male-lead-centered political intrigue novel. The male lead raised this cannon fodder himself, trusted him, and groomed him to become the most important official at his side. But the cannon fodder betrayed him and was ultimately torn apart by the male lead's chariots. Shen He: *shaking with fear* Being a powerful official was out of the question. He couldn't handle it. He just wanted to cling to the male lead's leg, throw his weight around by leaning on him, and eventually find himself a handsome boyfriend. Shen He began working diligently at clinging to the male lead's leg. When he learned to talk, the first words out of his mouth were "Big Brother Crown Prince." When he learned to walk, the first person he ran to was Big Brother Crown Prince. When he learned to write, the first name he wrote was, once again, Big Brother Crown Prince. He worked hard at it for over a decade, and Shen He successfully became a seasoned employee. All in all, he was quite happy with the job. The benefits were excellent, and he only had one person to work for. When the male lead was busy, he could throw his weight around, throw his boss's weight around, and rule the capital as a little tyrant. When he turned twenty, he could retire with honors, take a fortune in gold and silver, and enjoy his golden years! He'd already picked the place: Jiangnan! He'd heard the mountains and rivers there were good for you, and he was sure he could find a gorgeous boyfriend there! * Shen He waited and waited until the male lead finally eliminated every obstacle and ascended the throne, becoming the most powerful person in the world. Shen He was thrilled. "I'm retired! Woohoo~" That night, he packed his belongings, exchanged his money for bank silver notes, and contacted his good friend to prepare for their trip to Jiangnan. His friend never showed. The male lead did. The male lead gripped Shen He's chin, his voice dangerous. "Hehe, I hear you want to buy a house in Jiangnan and settle down there, and find yourself a handsome young man to be your wife?" Shen He stammered, "C-can't I find a man?" The male lead smiled. "You can. Find your big brother. Big Brother Crown Prince will make you empress." #I only wanted to slack off, but he wants me to be empress# #Do I look like the kind of capital-city tyrant who can rule the inner palace?# Theme: Among countless people, you are the one and only, forever.
