The Sickly Beauty Was Reborn and Gave Up

My new novel, Pretty Socially Anxious and Everyone’s Least Favorite After Transmigrating into a Book, is now out! To repay a debt of gratitude, Shen Yangui took responsibility for a bottomless pit nobody else wanted to touch. He carried the company alone and exhausted himself trying to keep it afloat. At last, he saved the business. Years of overwork wrecked his health. He became bedridden and nearly blind, while the Shen family celebrated. It turned out that, in the Shen family’s eyes, he had always been an interloper who had stolen someone else’s place and was plotting something. Only after dying did Shen Yangui learn that he was merely a plot device in a novel, destined to become a sacrificial pawn. Reborn, Shen Yangui saw through life and decided to give up entirely, despite his frail, sickly body. He would leave the company to its own devices. The ungrateful Shen family could stay away, too. And as for the younger men who wanted to marry into his family... It might be nice to experience romance before he died. As he considered his options, Shen Yangui wore an oversized shirt, his eyes lazy and languid. He lifted a young man’s chin, their breaths mingling, and finally got a good look at him. Sharp features, a cold, handsome face, and unconcealed shame and... loathing in his eyes. Shen Yangui suddenly found himself intrigued. He’d just have to find out whether a melon forcibly plucked from the vine could taste sweet. After a lifetime of hard work, Shen Yangui wanted to spend all his money before he died. He invested in an obscure movie just because he liked it, but it got rave reviews and won an international award. He wanted to revisit a childhood memory, so he invested in a struggling factory. Its brand went on to become famous across the country. He joined a variety show on a whim and unexpectedly gained tens of millions of followers. Investors scrambled to throw money at him. Looking at his doubled fortune, Shen Yangui said, “...” Never mind. I’ll leave it to Qin Ye. Taking advantage of his poor health, Shen Yangui demanded to be carried downstairs and fed at mealtimes. If Qin Ye got a little too rough, he’d cry out that it hurt. He was always pretending he couldn’t see clearly, deliberately moving closer, then leisurely admiring Qin Ye’s ears turning red with embarrassment. Qin Ye didn’t dare resist and could only give in, again and again. There’s nothing like taking someone by force. It’s so much fun! But Shen Yangui soon learned that Qin Ye was the villain in the novel: vengeful and ruthless, and cruel enough to put the protagonist through hell. He didn’t panic in the least. Instead, he doubled down, continuing to tease and torment Qin Ye. He was going to die soon anyway. He’d never live long enough for Qin Ye to get revenge. But when the time came, Shen Yangui was still alive. His health had even improved, and his eyesight was back to normal. “...” I’ve gone too far. To make things right, Shen Yangui immediately broke up with Qin Ye, set him free, and gave him a large sum of money as compensation. To be safe, he even went abroad and hid for two months. When they met again, Qin Ye’s expression was dark and gloomy, his eyes bloodshot. He looked like he hated Shen Yangui to the core. Like a mad dog that had been abandoned, ready to tear him apart and swallow him whole. ??? What was going on? Qin Ye had an unhappy childhood. Alone and helpless, he was wantonly bullied and trapped in darkness with no way out. Then someone entered his world. He was rude and frivolous, with not a trace of sincerity. Yet Qin Ye fell for his smile and slowly descended into madness. Qin Ye stayed by Shen Yangui’s side, watching as the younger Shen family members regretted their actions and tried to win him back. Pretty boys came one after another, doing everything they could to please him, all for a single glance from Shen Yangui. Late at night, Qin Ye’s eyes darkened as he held Shen Yangui captive in his arms. “Gege, you can only be mine.” The new novel is out! Pretty Socially Anxious and Everyone’s Least Favorite After Transmigrating into a Book Lin Cimian is extremely socially anxious. He gets so nervous that he blushes and stammers, but people keep coming up to him anyway. He never expected that one day he’d transmigrate into a book and become the person everyone disliked. His family despised him and only sent him a fixed allowance each month, never calling to check on him. The people around him shut him out, never inviting him to group activities. Even when they bumped into him, they treated him like he wasn’t there... Lin Cimian: Sob, is this heaven? The original character was a C-list celebrity who put on a cutesy voice, spoke in a fake-sweet way, and shamelessly rode the coattails of an award-winning actor. The internet was eager to see what outrageous stunt he’d pull next, but Lin Cimian suddenly announced he was quitting the entertainment industry! Netizens: The gossip was just getting good and now it’s over? Are you trying to kill me? After quitting, Lin Cimian became a gaming streamer. He didn’t have to go out or turn on his camera, and he barely had to say anything. All he needed to do was show off his skills. Only occasionally, at the request of his number-one fan, would he say a few words or show his hands. Lin Cimian only wanted to earn enough to get by. He never expected to become the hottest gaming streamer around. “Aaaah, wifey is so adorable!” “Hand and voice fans are celebrating!” “When will wifey show his face?” Lin Cimian: *trembling as he clutches his secret identity* A production crew went to an award-winning actor’s home to film a variety show and accidentally caught him sitting beside a young man. The young man nervously picked at his fingers and mumbled, “We only got married in the game, but, but you’re not my husband in real life...” The livestream audience and everyone else went wild! Because of this accident, Lin Cimian had no choice but to film the variety show with the award-winning actor Yan Shiyue. At first, viewers couldn’t accept it. Then they realized: Mianmian’s real voice is so nice. Mianmian can do so many things. He’s not an idiot after all. Mianmian is so cute. He’s not a master of fake sweetness. Mianmian... why isn’t he my wifey? Yan Shiyue, you bastard, get out of the way! Lin Cimian looked at his enthusiastic fans and blushed and stammered nervously all over again. Yan Shiyue took the opportunity to pull him into his arms and soothe him gently. “It’s okay. You can just look at me.” #That old bastard got his way again# #The grudge of stealing my wife can never be forgiven# Theme: Face life with a sunny outlook and make the most of every day.
