Customer 12: A half-elf duke who is taken in by someone after losing his memory (CP: childhood friend and knight)

Main CP: Yue Wuyu x Guan Lan
A hardworking wolf top who strives to be a model employee every day x a dragon god with enough power to beat the whole world, who just wants to live peacefully as a shopkeeper
Please note:
1. This is a collection of interconnected stories. The main CP ties the whole novel together, but only plays a supporting role in each story. The customers and their CPs are the protagonists of the individual stories. All the customers are bottoms.
2. “Tragic Romance” in the title only describes the customers' original fates. The story itself is not about transmigrating into a book, and has its own worldbuilding.

A Certain Ancient-Era Infinite-Flow Story
Bai Zhengliu, the only personal disciple of the Saber Immortal, has always been most talented at practicing the saber and least talented at reading people.
At just twenty-two, he's already renowned throughout the martial world. Everyone calls him “Hero Bai.”
Also at twenty-two, he's had to endure not only a first love that went nowhere, but also seeing his current boyfriend in bed with that first love, showing no regard for Bai Zhengliu at all.
As if heaven thought Bai Zhengliu hadn't had enough bad luck, he ran into a ghost on the day he caught them cheating.
Bad news: The female ghost who climbed out of the well is at the end of the corridor, and she's getting closer.
Good news: He's not the only one who ran into a ghost. The panicked pair in the room, who haven't even managed to get dressed, and a hapless swordsman who's been cheated on just like him are there too.
With danger closing in, Bai Zhengliu promptly invited the other hapless man along. “Brother, how about we get out of here first?”
Mei Yinghan: “...” He silently drew his sword.
CP: A gentle top listed in A Record of the Martial World’s Aloof Male Idols, who just happens to like wearing white x a dashing bottom who is currently 51% of the way to becoming the greatest saber fighter in the martial world

I Transmigrated to the Stars and Became a Mecha Master
After transmigrating to a spacefaring era ruled by sentinels and guides, Shu Yao finds himself in the body of an ordinary person, a group that makes up only 0.02% of the population and is considered “disabled.” They're often abandoned at birth.
He grows up in an orphanage on a remote planet. His grades are perfect across the board, and his dream is to become a mecha designer.
His teachers and classmates all shake their heads, thinking it a shame: no matter how hard an ordinary person works, he can't enter a mecha-related program.
Shu Yao knows this, but he doesn't want to give up.
In the year he graduates high school, Shu Yao hears some news. If he can use a mecha of his own design to place among the top hundred in his region in the Starfield Battlefield league, he can get access to online courses at the Federation's First University!
But on the remote planet where they live, there are no gaming pods that ordinary people can use.
At a loss and with no one to turn to for help, Shu Yao takes in an underage sentinel who's been kicked out of his home by his stepmother.
Shu Yao: I'll take care of you, but you have to compete in a mecha I designed.
Alexei: That's really not necessary...
Shu Yao: I actually have a dream: to build a mecha that ordinary people can pilot too.
Alexei: (immediately fired up) What else do we need? We'll do it together!
Shu Yao: ? (Why would a sentinel get so excited about this...? Never mind, as long as someone can compete.)
They sign up hoping to reach the regional semifinals, and accidentally end up winning the league championship.
CP: White-haired top in human form, with a big white cat as his spirit form x a bottom who dreams of becoming a mecha master whose name will one day appear in textbooks
Theme: Be the master of your own life and never bow to evil.
"But there are still good dragons." Sad. Whether something is good or bad should not be determined by race. These people only removed Guanlan from the dragon race because the Spirit Lord treated them well. Guanlan is a member of the Dragon Clan, and judging his good or evil should not start from his race. They will also judge others based on what a species is born with.
Wow, Jiang Jiang is amazing! She writes so well! I can't wait for the second book. Seeing there was a second book and the synopsis sounded so good, I can't wait for it to start! I think my reading tastes are just like Jiang Jiang's – we have the exact same complaints and things that bother us! I'm so excited for the second book!
The second part of this story is now available for pre-order. Interested readers can add it to their favorites! =V= P. S. The boss, Little Wolf, makes a cameo appearance in the new storyline! An article on a different attack strategy In a world where same-sex marriage is legal, your husband sees you as a substitute for his "mother-in-law." World 2.
Brother Lan is such a good person, it's a pity he encountered a bunch of scumbags when he was young.
Little Wolf has become Brother Lan's shop assistant again, hehe.
Let me see how to make it [I'm drooling]
(●.●) I haven't read such a long story in a long time since I discovered Jinjiang.
Hooray for the finale! The episodic stories were generally very enjoyable, especially the shorter ones, which were easier to read. Some of the longer episodic stories were a bit tiring to read, and there's room for improvement.
Wow! I finished watching! I hope Wuyu and Lan Ge will be happy forever!!! Yay!!! 🎉🎉
Ahhh, so sweet, so sweet, so sweet!
