I Became the Most Coveted One in the Spirit World [Honghuang]

Lian Qing is a lone spirit wandering the world. Just as he is about to vanish completely, a bizarre exorcism ritual summons him into the body of a young man with the same name, who has just finished his college entrance exams.

His daily life should have been simple: pretend to be the young man, take care of the Lian family, find the young man's soul, and finally return to chaos.

But during the search, he discovers that this wasn't an accident. It was a scheme a thousand years in the making.

Just when he thinks things can't get more dangerous, he discovers that the worst is yet to come.

His roommate seems to be some kind of primordial beast, and drools over Lian Qing every night.

His academic advisor often asks Lian Qing to talk, always peering at him through narrowed eyes.

The only one who seems normal, Hou Luo, is suspicious too. He's a powerful figure who appears frail to everyone else, but around Lian Qing all he does is whimper and beg for cuddles.

Lian Qing, beset by ghosts and torn at by monsters: Some want my soul, some want my flesh, and some want everything!

Upcoming novel: After Tearing Up the Cannon Fodder Script, I Got a Happy Ending with the White Moonlight's Substitute (Transmigrated into a Book)

Although Shen Ge is an unloved young master from a wealthy family, with a hypocritical stepmother, a smiling-tiger half-brother, and a useless father who's turned into a stepfather since bringing home his new wife, he has an engagement that all those rich playboys who don't study envy.

Then he has a dream and learns that he's merely the third male cannon fodder in a white-moonlight romance novel. His widely envied fiance is the scumbag male lead gong, who's dating three people at once: he has a white moonlight in his heart, Shen Ge as his arranged-marriage partner on his mind, and his substitute's hand in his while he talks about true love.

Shen Ge is hard now. His fists are hard.

But after investigating, he learns that the white moonlight is his childhood friend, and the substitute is the friend's cousin who was lost outside the family.

Since the scumbag is the only outsider in this four-way relationship, let's get rid of him. After all, a love triangle is the most stable arrangement.

Iron gates, prison bars, chains. The scumbag wipes away tears inside while the three of them play cards outside.

When the scumbag father's company runs into trouble, he once again tries to pimp Shen Ge out. Shen Ge makes one decisive move and runs away with a poor young man.

The scumbag father is so furious he ends up in the hospital. When he needs a blood transfusion, he discovers his younger son isn't his.

Meanwhile, the poor young man becomes a highly praised young talent.

Then people in their circle discover that Shen Ge's partner is the substitute for his fiance's white moonlight.

Shen Ge smiles modestly, full of gratitude: My fiance may not be a good person, but he sure is a good matchmaker.
