[Story Blurb]

Xue Xiaopei writes angsty boys' love web novels. He has a unique writing quirk: aside from his first novel, which was locked after he left it unfinished, every book he's written features a simp hopelessly in love with the protagonist top.

He's written three such novels, with three identical simps.

After writing one too many simps, he gets his comeuppance and transmigrates into his own novel, Love So Shallow, Love So Deep, Love So True. He becomes Xue Pei, the archetypal cannon-fodder simp who hopelessly loves the protagonist top but can't have him.

He plays his original role as a "devoted," "patient" and pitiful character, then plans to enjoy his freedom once the story is done.

But the two protagonist tops from the other books in the series show up in this world, too.

He can't be in two places at once. In the morning, he stands in the rain outside the love nest of Top One and Bottom One, desperately trying to win him back. In the afternoon, he buys a gift for Top Two and delivers a "I love you" to Bottom Two on his behalf. At night, he goes hungry and watches as Top Three, the playboy, dances with a woman on each arm.

While he does his best to play the simp

Top One stands under the blazing sun, desperately trying to win him back: "Love me again."

Top Two declares his devotion: "A prodigal who turns over a new leaf is worth more than gold. From now on, I'll only love you."

Top Three gives him his whole heart: "We grew up together. We're made for each other."

Xue Xiaopei looks horrified. "Stay away from me!"

So he asks a powerful man named Gu Meisheng for help, thinking he'll finally be safe. But instead, he falls into that man's arms

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

After that, Xue Xiaopei learns a lesson the hard way: even a locked novel's protagonist can transmigrate into a book.

A dramatic bottom who gets everything without sucking up x a top who's a green tea while pursuing his love, but a devoted husband once he wins him over

[Coming Next] Cannon Fodder Wants Nothing to Do with the Main Characters. I've revised the blurb. Please add it to your favorites, mwah ^^

Cannon Fodder Wants Nothing to Do with the Main Characters

Shang Yu has suffered from emotional deficiency since childhood. He's emotionally detached and wants nothing. After a car accident, the Transmigration Bureau selects him to complete missions involving tormenting scum tops and exposing fake crematorium plotlines.

He's played an extra and been an award-winning actor, been a beggar and an emperor. He's played countless cannon fodder characters and plenty of male leads adored by everyone... From one certain flower-town site to one certain river, as long as a scum-top story wears the trappings of a crematorium plot, he's there to carry out the mission with a perfect performance.

One day, he transmigrates back and discovers that he's cannon fodder in a novel. All he wants is to stay away from the main characters and live a simple, peaceful life.

His adoptive parents kick him out. A hit script is stolen from him. To pay off his debts, he's forced to join a poorly regarded production and play a villainous third male lead everyone loves to hate.

The first male lead was once his rival for a grand-slam award. Now he's the protagonist bottom's uncle, and the two of them glare at him from the set and the story alike.

The second male lead was once his partner in a previous life as an assassin. On his path to revenge, he killed Shang Yu with a single sword strike. Now he's taken on a new identity as the protagonist top, and he's eagerly waiting for Shang Yu.

Even a bit-part actor on the set, who was the original novel's up-and-coming mastermind, is the beggar who lost a bun to him years ago.

#Instead of staying away from the main characters, he's got even more sworn enemies than before#

#Did I end up in a retirement home for transmigration bureau employees?#

Even the company president who runs the production's biggest investor is an old acquaintance Shang Yu can't escape.

Shang Yu: Does this count as an injury on the job?

As Shang Yu is mocked online and everyone waits for him to become a laughingstock, a secretly filmed animated clip goes viral.

In it, a breathtakingly beautiful man holds a black cat and looks up coolly. A red mole at the corner of his eye is utterly captivating.

The whole internet erupts, and countless people confidently proclaim: "Hey! Wife!"

A certain extremely possessive person angrily posts: "Let me introduce you. This is my wife, @Shang Yu."

Stunning, aloof beauty bottom x extremely possessive, jealous top

"I am forever responsible for what I have tamed. I am responsible for my rose.", The Little Prince

P.S. 1. By fake crematorium plot, I mean a story dressed up as one that only puts the bottom through the wringer, never the top, and ends with a forced happy ending.

[Coming After That] Thorny Moonlight

Thorny Moonlight

There's a clothing shop on the old street, run by a beautiful owner with a strange temper. Customers may be gods in other shops, but in his shop, the gods have to pass muster. Still, the shop's unique and distinctive clothes keep the customers coming back.

Day after day, the strange owner stays hidden in his shop. Only in winter does he sit outside in a rocking chair, curled up with his cat and basking in the sun.

One day, a strange man shows up on the old street. He's in the prime of life but doesn't work, letting the innkeeper make money off him for free. He wanders the streets and chats with people day and night. Eventually, he brings over a chair and spends all day sitting there, watching the strange owner's clothing shop.

One day, the strange man knocks on the strange owner's door with a piece of paper in hand, looking like a debt collector. "Five million. Pay me back."

The paper clearly says: "...My mother gave you ten million to break up with me. When the time comes, take the money and leave. We'll elope. You can keep half the ten million as your dowry, and I'll use the other half as my bride price..."

The strange owner's expression doesn't change. He raises his eyes and taps the shop's customer rules:

"No making a scene. Pay your own bill. If you have no money, don't bother me."

Former lovers meet again.

World-weary, sharp-tongued bottom x fussy young master top
