Please add my upcoming novel, My Straight Childhood Friend Follows Me onto a Dating Show, to your collection! Blurb: Yue Ning transmigrated into a book, becoming the protagonist who's the love interest in an entertainment-industry tragedy, and awakened as a mermaid. In the book, the little mermaid was tormented in body and mind by the protagonist. Yue Ning didn't want to suffer the same fate, so he ran away without hesitation. But during his mermaid mating season, he accidentally had a one-night stand with a vampire. That vampire was rough and bad in bed, and immediately offered to keep him. Yue Ning sneered and hung up. Then a hospital checkup revealed that mermaids of his species were faithful, and needed help from that vampire to get through their three-month mating season. Yue Ning: "..." Yue Ning picked up the phone and said warmly, "Hi there! The person who answered earlier wasn't me. I'd like to discuss this with you in more detail." Wen Xiaoyuan had always hated minor celebrities who slept their way to the top, spoiled brats, troublemakers, and people who didn't work hard and just wanted shortcuts. One little mermaid managed to hit every single one of his sore spots. Beautiful, spoiled, slept his way into bed, and even made up a mating season just to take a shortcut. But as it happened, that little mermaid could cure the blood allergy that had plagued him for years. Then he'd keep him under contract for now, and break up once the special medicine was ready. He laid down a list of rules: "Don't fall in love with me. Don't contact me unless you have to. I won't spend the night with you. Don't get any ideas. Don't tell anyone about us. When the contract expires, we're done. Don't cling to me, or I'll see you in court." But the little mermaid loved him so much. He didn't want connections or money, only him. He made him loving breakfasts every day, flirted with him now and then, and even told other people he'd admired him for a long time and couldn't live without him. He decided he could give the other man a chance. He set out little roses, lit little candles, and tucked away a little diamond ring. Just when he thought he was about to win the beauty's heart, the little mermaid ran away. Yue Ning: "The contract's over. Bye-bye!" Wen Xiaoyuan: "..." Where's my very own wife?! A D-list celebrity with scandals all over the internet had just gained a wave of fans thanks to his looks when he was exposed for selling himself for fame, being kept by an old man halfway into his grave, and cheating with three people at once. His fans all turned against him. # I defended him from haters with all my heart, only to find out he was being kept by an old man. Disgusting. # # Keep flirting with so many people and your ass is going to explode. If I ever trust you again, I'm a dog. # The next day, Yue Ning went live to clear things up. The vampire showed up as if drawn by the scent and declared his claim in front of a million viewers. Yue Ning smiled. "I don't think I've said yes to you yet." Wen Xiaoyuan said calmly, "Then think about it now." Yue Ning turned him down, then transformed into a mermaid in full view of everyone. The trending topics exploded. # He's actually a mermaid! Aah! I'm panting, panting! I'm a dog, I take it all back! # # For your information, Shengshi Group's CEO, 28, an awakened vampire, a high-society ice prince, a man you can't have # # You call that an old man?

At nineteen, Lin Xishui discovered he was living in a romance novel, and was a doomed supporting character. In the book, the minor character had grown up with the male lead, realized he was in love with him as an adult, and pursued him relentlessly. Unfortunately, the male lead was a hardcore straight guy who was homophobic. After meeting the heroine, he fell in love at first sight, and the two began a sweet romance. But the minor character wouldn't take no for an answer, and in the end, he was literally worried to death. Lin Xishui: "..." This is ridiculous. After realizing he'd transmigrated into a book, Lin Xishui had good news and bad news. The good news was that he knew the plot and could avoid the danger ahead of time. The bad news was that he'd already fallen for his childhood friend, Xie Yan, and stepped right into the plot. To save his life, Lin Xishui had no choice but to keep his clingy childhood friend at a distance and go on a romance reality show filmed around the clock. The next day, actress Xie Yan, the son of a tycoon, made a surprise appearance on the show. Love's Journey is a romance reality show that became popular before it even aired. Just as the name suggests, the show takes its guests on a trip together so they can find love and spark a romance along the way. On the show, the newly crowned national heartthrob, the actress and tycoon's son Xie Yan, who's been cold and heartless since childhood, fusses over one ordinary guest and takes care of him constantly. He sticks to him every moment of the day and won't let anyone else near him. At first, Netizen 1: He's good-looking, sure, but the heir to the Xie Group doesn't need to be this desperate, does he? Netizen 2: It's scripted, definitely scripted! Netizen 3: Does no one else think they're adorable together? Cool beauty X big puppy, I'm sold! Later, Netizen 1: Xixi, my darling, look at me! Don't trust those lousy men! Netizen 2: My darling is so gorgeous, pant, pant! Hurry up and debut, don't make me beg! Netizen 2: You big dummy, please hurry up and confess, or Xixi will be stolen away! Netizen 3: I'm obsessed! Am I the only one who thinks they're genuinely so sweet together? Xie Yan: "I'll never like a man. Xixi and I are just brothers." "Best brothers!" Lin Xishui smiled guiltily. "Right." Later, as the show neared its end, one of the guests couldn't hold back and confessed to Lin Xishui. Xie Yan exploded. Guest: If you don't like him, why won't you let anyone else like him? Xie Yan stepped in front of Lin Xishui, guarding him like a wolf with its food: Who says I don't like him?! Lin Xishui: ? For family reasons, Xie Yan had been homophobic since childhood and disliked gay men. But he never imagined that Lin Xishui, the boy he'd decided to be best friends with for life, would be gay. Lin Xishui: "I know you can't accept it, but I can't change my sexuality. I can only..." Xie Yan: "What are you talking about? So what if you're gay? Being gay is great. What era are we living in? How could anyone still discriminate against gay people?" Lin Xishui: "Then would you accept it if I found a boyfriend?" Xie Yan: "I would... The hell I would!" Lin Xishui lowered his head sadly. Xie Yan: "I wouldn't trust anyone but myself to look after you, so I'll be your boyfriend." Lin Xishui: ? Beloved, catlike bottom X jealous, loyal puppy top Theme: Be strong and independent.
