Updated daily. Please add my upcoming novel, The Slacker Wants to Run Away Every Day [Entertainment Industry], to your collection! Blurb at the very end.

Yi Qiuli read a novel.

In the story, the protagonist's family were all masters of emotional manipulation. They sucked the villain dry and rode his coattails to the top.

Even the protagonist's marriage partner had been deliberately chosen to make the villain easier to control.

At the end of the novel, the villain completely lost himself to darkness and planned to take the protagonist down with him.

But at the crucial moment, the villain was killed by the partner he trusted most. His partner handed over everything he'd worked for to the protagonist, earning the protagonist a perfect ending.

Yi Qiuli was so furious his fists clenched. He cursed the author and tore up the novel's comment section.

When he opened his eyes, Yi Qiuli discovered he'd actually transmigrated into the novel.

He'd arrived just as he was standing outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. The villain's name was clearly printed beside his on the little red marriage certificate.

Looking at the villain's sincere face and trusting eyes, his cheeks flushed from registering their marriage, Yi Qiuli affectionately patted his head.

"Don't be afraid. From now on, I'll be by your side."

Zhuang Mo looked at the handsome young man before him and carefully hid the bottomless hatred in his eyes. "Okay."

Sweet, no angst.

A warm little sunshine, healing transmigrated-into-a-book shou X a gloomy, deceptively innocent, reborn gong

PS: They're each other's first love. There was another reason he married the original novel's shou in his previous life.

Upcoming novel: The Slacker Wants to Run Away Every Day [Entertainment Industry]

Cong Tang only learned after he died that he was actually living inside a book.

He and his ex-husband, Gu Weiming, were obstacles and foils on the love story of the main couple, the gong and shou.

After Cong Tang died, Gu Weiming was swept up in public opinion and trapped in a media storm. He was accused of living a debauched private life and causing his partner's death by depression. The accusations, piled on top of his already tarnished reputation, destroyed his promising career.

Looking at the divorce papers in his left hand and the newly issued terminal illness diagnosis in his right, Cong Tang sighed. His own end was unavoidable, but at least he couldn't let his poor ex-husband repeat the same mistakes.

Then he would start by clarifying that his marriage to Gu Weiming had been fake.

Ever since announcing his marriage, Best Actor Gu Weiming had never mentioned his other half. At first, his fans checked in on their fan page every day, hoping their favorite star would get divorced and escape his unhappy marriage. Eventually, they couldn't even be bothered to check in. Everyone assumed that Gu Weiming and his partner had long since fallen out of love and were only waiting to divorce.

Then the divorce reality show Tides of Parting announced its cast, finally confirming that Best Actor Gu was breaking free from his marital prison.

But before his solo fans could celebrate, someone photographed Gu Weiming outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, eyes red as he clutched his ex-husband's sleeve and refused to let go.

Fans: ??? Bro, get a grip!

Everyone wanted to see just how difficult the obscure little star who'd dumped Best Actor Gu could be.

After filming began: "Damn Gu Weiming, were you hiding such a gorgeous wife from us on purpose?!"

"I'm marching right up and saying, 'Hey, babe!'"

"Ex-hubby, let go of my wife, got it?"

"How did they film this?! My wife's hand is longer than my ex-boyfriend's life, sob, she's flawless from every angle. Gu Weiming is a person too, you know."

After pulling out all the stops, Cong Tang earned the title of "The Entertainment Industry's Most Adorable Wife."

Netizens voted "Weiming and Cong Tang" the "Reunion Couple Everyone Most Wants to See."

Cong Tang: This isn't how I thought things would go...

After the show ended, Cong Tang cut off all contact with the outside world and hurriedly left for a faraway place.

A few days later, someone reposted a guide to applying for assisted dying as a terminally ill patient on Weibo.

The applicant's signature, restored by a tech expert, was unmistakably Cong Tang's signature in both Chinese and English.

The fans of Weiming and Cong Tang, still hoping for a reunion: ???!!!

Bro, hurry up and get your wife back, or she'll really be gone!!

* The shou was misdiagnosed. He isn't really terminally ill. There will be a pregnancy later.

* The CP is Cong Tang and Gu Weiming. I'm committed to 1v1. A taciturn, tight-lipped gong who loves his wife X a pessimistic, emo, checked-out shou.

* The gong will learn to speak up later.

Theme: Break free from the shackles of fate and take a step forward!
