The Stand-In Bottom and His Construction Boss CEO Top

This novel will be available to read for a fee starting Wednesday, November 24. Thank you for your support.

A short, sweet story.

Xu Lichao is a substitute.

That's right! The kind of substitute you find in a romance novel!

He has an unknown terminal illness and not long to live, so he's given up on life. He works for a domineering CEO, lives in the CEO's house, and earns thirty thousand yuan a month, spending his days doing nothing as he waits to die.

One day, he has a strange dream. In it, he lives an entire life in a world of the occult.

When the dream ends, Xu Lichao opens his eyes and sees a female ghost with her tongue hanging out.

He instinctively forms a hand seal, and the ghost crashes several meters away with a bang.

Xu Lichao looks at the ghost, then down at his own hands.

Oh, wow. He's ridiculously powerful.

If he's this powerful, then the dream must have been real.

In that case, he should work hard and earn money to extend his life. How could he waste time being some kind of substitute canary for a rich CEO?

Xu Lichao texts the CEO to say he's quitting.

Then, a few days after they part ways, Xu Lichao sees the CEO tearing down a wall at one of his clients' homes.

Xu Lichao: …

Xu Lichao: ???

CEO?

The CEO trembles in fear.

A sharp-tongued, slightly mischievous, respectable-on-the-outside bottom x a steady, sincere, considerate contractor top.

Coming soon: After Waking from My Dream, I Became the Entertainment Industry's Top-Tier Star.

Blurb One:

Li Nanxing is a member of an obscure boy band. He becomes an overnight sensation thanks to his refined, handsome face, only to be swiftly blacklisted by the entire internet.

Then, with no future ahead of him and unwilling to accept unspoken rules, Li Nanxing is shelved by his company.

One day, Li Nanxing has a dream. In it, he lives an entire life in a cultivation world.

After waking up with nowhere left to turn, Li Nanxing tries practicing the technique from his dream.

And then! He really succeeds in cultivating immortality!

Li Nanxing: !!!!!

Li Nanxing, who has always dreamed of becoming famous: !!!!!

Let's go!!!

Li Nanxing becomes a sensation once more with a sword dance.

Later, Li Nanxing manages to get onto a variety show packed with big-name stars.

At first, the audience scoffs: Li Nanxing thinks he's good enough to appear on a show with my idol?

Later: Aaaaaah! Nanxing is amazing! From now on, we're all Little Stars!

Li Nanxing manages to land a role in a film by a famous director.

Haters: With acting like Li Nanxing's, he thinks he can star in Director X's movie? Just wait for him to get humiliated!

Fans: Aaaaaah! Why is Nanxing acting? Can't we just enjoy looking at his gorgeous, handsome face every day?

Later, fans and haters alike: !!! Who said Nanxing couldn't act!

He's the one who films the most public-service programs and wins the most awards. He's the entertainment industry's top-tier star, an international superstar, admired by everyone and someone no one dares to provoke.

Everyone: Yeah, don't provoke him. If anyone dares lay a hand on Li Nanxing, Heavenly King Ji won't let them get away with it!

Blurb Two: Everyone in the entertainment industry says Heavenly King Ji has a good family background, good looks, great songs, a good voice, and plenty of talent. The only thing he lacks is a good temper.

Before Li Nanxing goes on a variety show, his manager repeatedly warns him not to provoke Heavenly King Ji.

Li Nanxing, who has met Heavenly King Ji a few times, is confused. Heavenly King Ji seems very good-natured, so how can people say he has a bad temper?

Later, when they meet again, Ji Beidou slowly gives him a warm, courteous smile as Li Nanxing watches in confusion.

Everyone else on the variety show: !!!!

Help, Heavenly King Ji has gone crazy!

Premise: Cherish the person who loves you without holding anything back.
