[Upcoming fantasy romance, "Fate Won't Save the Unlucky, but Spending Can Change Your Destiny [Infinite]". See below or visit my author page for the blurb.]
Blurb:
Tong Zhijun, the young scion of a wealthy family who gets mocked by the entire internet as a good-for-nothing, starts a company to promote a washed-up actor.
Tong Zhijun has absolutely no talent for being a capitalist. His company bleeds money for six straight months, until he unexpectedly unlocks a talent for directing variety shows.
He tentatively makes a slow-paced travel show, but the production team has absolutely nothing to its name.
He takes over a girl group competition at the last minute, and the contestants have nothing but their determination.
He buys the rights to an Infinite novel and becomes the first to turn an Infinite story into a variety show. The guests have nothing but a script consisting of a single line.
Haters: ? LOL, this is what a real good-for-nothing looks like?
And yet...
Travel show viewers: So there are still these lesser-known tourist cities in China! Next National Day, I'm done with fighting crowds at the famous attractions!
Girl group fans: That's what idols should be like, always striving forward! Yesterday's performance was the best stage in the history of talent shows, as far as I'm concerned!
Fans of the original Infinite novel: Hahahaha! It's like seeing how the side characters in the book lived, and how they died!
Tong Zhijun's variety shows earn better reviews one after another, until someone finally notices the obvious:
Help! You blind haters, take a look! The director you call a good-for-nothing has an outrageously handsome face! This world is unfair! How can someone be handsome, rich, and talented all at once?
Tong Zhijun, who became famous for his looks: I just wanted to start a company and promote someone. How did I end up becoming famous myself? _(:з"∠)_
Meanwhile, the washed-up actor he originally wanted to promote gradually becomes a film star, and also his boyfriend... Is this what they call success in both career and love?
[Gentle golden retriever x human sloth] (Not really)
[Tough guy with a tender heart x giant childish brat] (Yep)
Reader's guide:
1. The romance unfolds gradually, but building their careers is the real business. Tong Zhijun isn't guaranteed to succeed at everything, and Duan Xiaoen doesn't become a star with a single movie. In some ways, it's a very down-to-earth, slice-of-life story. I hope it won't bore you (twirling a handkerchief.jpg).
2. Both are each other's first love. Happy ending, no real-life inspirations. Began in November 2019.
3. Bonus skits may occasionally appear in the author's notes.

Title: Fate Won't Save the Unlucky, but Spending Can Change Your Destiny [Infinite]
Blurb:
A full-dive game played through brain-computer-connected cards launches and immediately takes the world by storm.
The Six Paths Hotel, the Looping Exam Hall, Redbone Town, the Golden Wheel at Sea... Clearing randomly generated scenarios is near impossible.
While ordinary players cautiously search for a way to win, there seems to be one person whose play style is a little off...
[Six Paths Hotel: Please choose your room. Only one person may stay in each bed.]
All the players rush to claim rooms in the Three Good Paths, refusing to yield to one another.
Shu Renzhi opens the game store and buys a sleeping bag. "Go ahead and fight over them. I'll use my sleeping bag."
Players: ?
[Looping Exam Hall: At exactly twelve, hand in your exam or give up your life.]
All the players frantically work through the questions, reliving their college entrance exams.
Shu Renzhi punches every clock in the exam hall to pieces, then dismantles the solar panels too. He nearly burns out the game's CPU.
Players: ??
[Redbone Town: Shh! When the bones hear a lament, they will grow flesh and blood.]
All the players are baffled, unable to make sense of the scenario.
Shu Renzhi blinks, immediately buys a cremation furnace, smashes every skeleton, and tosses the bones in to burn. Then he even blows on his hands in disgust. "This is so bad for the environment. They should have had an eco-burial instead."
Players: ???
[Golden Wheel at Sea: Wandering traveler, do not let the "Hunter" discover your whereabouts.]
All the players search the game store for face-changing items, but the "Hunter" still catches them one by one.
Shu Renzhi places an order for every item in the store with a single click, picks out the best one, and strolls right past the "Hunter".
The players finally understand: the most important thing in a game is being able to fight, but even more important than being able to fight is being able to fight and having money :)
Everyone thinks a player who's both strong and willing to spend is a one-of-a-kind whale, with no chance of finding another.
Until one day, another fully equipped whale appears by his side.
And the usually stern whale breaks into a smile like the winter sun and says to the new whale, "I was wrong to hit you. Dr. Shen, can you try not to hold a grudge?"
Players: ...
It's only been a few days. What juicy gossip did we miss?! (Tearing our hair out.jpg)
[Bottom: Shu Renzhi, face-blind and ruthless, retired military officer]
[Top: Shen Xing'ou, sharp-tongued old dog, military doctor who defected]
Theme: Find what you're good at, and even a couch potato can get back on their feet!
Oh my God! Honey, these two hundred chapters are free.
I'm sorry. I've been suffering from severe insomnia recently and am in a bad state. I need to take a few days off. I will adjust it as soon as possible (Bow. Jpg)
Seeing this, I finally found the common ground between me and Zhien Tubao. When I played the game "Double Together", I also played it with my romantic partner. Many of the dialogues in it were spoken by husband and wife partners, so the two of us played in an ambiguous and awkward way. This mentality seems to be quite consistent with the status of Xiao Duan and Xiao Tong, but Xiao Xiang is indeed more suitable for this story. And! My romantic partner has been with me for much longer than Zhi Zhi En Tu Repay. It has been two years since we started playing as a couple, and we are still in the state of being lovers above AUO. Just thinking about it makes me want to punch the wall. This is how two ostriches who have known each other for seven or eight years are having an affair. From time to time, they will put a small hook to test, but they dare not go further. This is also like Zhi Zhi Fa Tu Repay.
Xiao Duan is indeed a bit sinister!!
Am I afraid? What should I do when it becomes public?
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was not allowed to become a sperm 🐶
Haha, my wife's desire to survive
Oh, it's really sad! Because that's the kind of person I am
You can do a lot more if you talk about it than if you don't talk about it [make me healthy]
?! So when to break the window paper?
