Reborn, I Still Have to Help the Film Emperor Win His Wife Back

Question: What's it like when a reborn character meets a quick-transmigration character?

Shen Heyi: Thanks for asking. I'm here on the scene, doing great. Many thanks to Movie Emperor Lu for taking such good care of me... (A thousand words of praise omitted here) (blinking frantically: Senior Lu, can you move the knife away from my neck now?)

Shen Heyi was reborn, at least. Just as he was about to become popular, someone set him up, forcing him into a disgusting CP pairing and tricking him into drinking a whole bottle of one-night-stand liquor. He ended up in the bed of Movie Emperor Lu, rumored to never let a leaf touch him...

Who was Lu Jianian? A major power in the entertainment industry, with influence at the very top and a habit of keeping his cards close to his chest. He hated people who slept their way to the top more than anything. He promptly set a trap for Shen Heyi, indirectly handing him a ticket to his next life.

Shen Heyi got it.

He swore he'd keep his head down this time. Lust was a knife hanging over his head. But when he opened his eyes, he was in a room, and the movie emperor was in the bathroom.

Shen Heyi tried to run, but a long, strong arm blocked him against the wall

Lu Jianian: Don't be nervous. I'll be honest. You're reborn, and I've undergone quick transmigration.

Shen Heyi: ...?

Lu Jianian: You're the cannon-fodder shou in my book. You were supposed to get a bad ending, but you can survive, as long as you join my side and help me win over the main shou. Then I'll turn a blind eye to you sleeping your way into my bed. How does that sound?

Shen Heyi: ...

Lu Jianian: I'll add five million as an advance.

Shen Heyi: ...!

Shen Heyi: Just one? Go after a few more, big shot. Otherwise, I won't feel right taking the money.

Later, diligent Shen Heyi helped him all the way: with the dating show, filming, public clarifications... So why were rumors about him and the movie emperor only getting more frequent?

Lu Jianian: That's an illusion. We're in a perfectly legitimate business partnership.

Later still, Shen Heyi rubbed his aching lower back and angrily demanded of the person beside him, "Weren't we just business partners?"

Lu, a scheming, big-tailed wolf, the very picture of candor, replied righteously: "That's right. You partner with me, and I..."

#Beware of fires, thieves, and big-tailed wolves #An unusual take on the groveling chase #What do I do when my wife is afraid of me? I guess I'll have to show off my acting skills

Now complete: Has My Scheming, Adorable Omega Behaved Today?

Rong Xu was a stunningly beautiful, charming calico cat who drew everyone's eyes wherever he went. He did have one physical limitation: as an Omega, he couldn't give birth.

Rong Xu: "Tsk, does that affect my ability to fight?"

As the top dog on Central City's "Rich Street," with a brother in the Ministry of Defense and a powerful boss backing him, he lived it up every day. Anyone who dared mess with him could be beaten into the stratosphere and sent orbiting Central Star thirty times over...

Who would dare date Rong Xu? Just hearing his name would make their knees buckle!

Rong Xu himself wasn't interested either. He just wanted to keep a low profile at school and coast along like a lazy fish, then land some random office job and spend his days doing nothing. That was until, one day...

He was only trying to teach a couple of thugs a lesson, but he never expected that someone as famous as him would be the one getting protected.

Qi Hanze glanced at him, clearing the place with a crisp efficiency that matched his own, his stern expression unchanged.

The little thugs groaned on the ground, but Rong Xu paid them no mind. He only flicked his cat ears slightly and thought

Damn, this guy is gorgeous and strong. I should figure out... how to make him mine?

Conditions on Red Earth Star were harsh. Only the strong survived.

Qi Hanze had grown up in a pool of blood, hoping only that the land he protected might find peace. He never imagined that peace might one day come to him, too

A miracle quietly began the moment he became an exchange student and set foot in Wei'an Academy, thousands of miles away.

Bonus scenes:

Rong Xu deliberately tugged at the sleeve that hung well past his wrist and called in an almost syrupy voice, "Student Qi, look. Do I look good in your clothes?"

Qi Hanze: "..."

Rong Xu went out to buy an iced milk tea, then feigned surprise. "Oh no, Student Qi, I forgot to bring your straw... Should we share one?"

Qi Hanze: "..."

After bathing, Rong Xu drew near Qi Hanze, carrying a fresh scent. As they worked through a problem, his shirt collar accidentally slipped open, revealing a tantalizing hint of spring.

Qi Hanze worked through the problems at lightning speed, finishing the whole paper in ten minutes before leaving the room.

Rong Xu: "...I made it that obvious and he still didn't react. Is he even an Alpha?"

Only Qi Hanze himself knew that he ran down the stairs in one breath, found a secluded spot, and stood in the cold wind for a long time.

...A strange, dangerous crimson glinted at the corner of his eyes as he suppressed each distracting thought

...At this rate, only an extra-strength suppressant would work.

A scheming, pretend-well-behaved shou x a high-powered, outwardly cold but inwardly warm gong who dotes on him. SC, 1v1, HE.

Upcoming modern BL novel. Please add it to your collection: A Thousand Tricks to Catch a Stubborn Little Jealousy King

When Wen Yuezhou first met Jing Yan, the young man was dead drunk at a bar, clinging to him like a koala and muttering, "Don't leave me..."

Wen Yuezhou raised an eyebrow. "I'm going to bed. Are you coming too?"

"Then I'll hug you while we sleep. You'll be so soft and comfy."

Wen Yuezhou had no choice but to hold him as they slept through the night.

He was a neat freak, and yet he'd slept hugging a stranger... If word got out, Wencheng would probably be turned upside down.

The second time Wen Yuezhou heard about Jing Yan was at a matchmaking banquet.

A business partner was getting engaged to the young master of the Jing family, praising him for being so kind and outstanding, and saying that marrying such a gentle, lovable young man was a blessing his family had earned over generations.

Wen Yuezhou couldn't help interrupting. "Are you talking about Jing Yan?"

The business partner looked surprised. "I'm talking about the Jing family's younger son, Jing Junzhe. How could it be Jing Yan? Jing Yan... is he even worthy?"

Later, Wen Yuezhou learned just how notorious Jing Yan was in social circles. He'd been rejected twice after engagements, become a laughingstock, and never once shone in public like his universally adored younger brother.

Rumor had it Jing Yan was bad-tempered, wild, obsessed with looking cool, and a spendthrift, with not a single redeeming quality. It was no wonder his family had kicked him out.

But when Wen Yuezhou remembered the Jing Yan he'd met, he could see that beneath his prickly exterior, the young man had always timidly followed him, eyes unusually bright and voice full of grievance.

"Sir... could you hug me?"

Jing Yan always thought he was the coolest and didn't need love.

His only stain was that he'd accidentally gotten drunk and spent the night hugging a stranger. Afterward, he scraped together a thousand yuan in cash and paid the man to keep quiet.

But some time later, his family ran short of money, and he was inexplicably made to "marry in place of someone else." His new spouse wore a gentle expression and smiled at him until his cheeks burned.

"Is a thousand yuan enough to get a marriage certificate?"

What a joke. Would an independent rock musician like him really end up with a famous calligrapher, an old-school gentleman who brewed goji berry tea for his health?

Bonus scenes:

When they first got married, Jing Yan said, "Hah, I'm just a substitute anyway. Stay away from me! Don't touch me! Let's keep our distance in public and not interfere in each other's lives, OK?"

A month into the marriage, Jing Yan thought, "This guy not only respects my interests, he can also help me write lyrics and compose music, go on drop towers at amusement parks, and explore secret realms... Wait, is he really a boring calligrapher?"

Three months into the marriage, Jing Yan thought, "...I want to run away from home, but there'll be braised pork lion's heads and glutinous rice balls with fermented rice wine tonight... Maybe I'll run away tomorrow instead."

Half a year... a year later.

Wen Yuezhou went to a party and spoke to someone for a couple of minutes too long. His phone rang more than ten times.

Jing Yan was like a furious little hedgehog with nowhere to vent, bristling as he refused to let Wen Yuezhou near him. "Don't come back. Other people's floor mats are softer, aren't they?"

Wen Yuezhou laughed, ignored Jing Yan's punches and kicks, and carried him to bed.

"No floor mat is as soft and adorable as you, hmm?"

A gentle, restrained, outwardly innocent but inwardly scheming gong x a sharp-tongued, tough-talking, insecure little jealousy king shou who can't keep up the act for more than three seconds. SC, 1v1, HE.
