Blurb for the ongoing novel "Once You Enter the Civil Service, the Sea Runs Deep":

Mei Junfeng is a rising young star in historical idol dramas, blessed with breathtaking beauty and a professional at picking fights for attention. He and Shen Qinghao, the untouchable beauty, are sworn enemies, providing endless entertainment for the gossip-loving masses.

Then they became partners. Everyone looking for a laugh waited for the lead actors to fall out on set and the fanbases to start fighting, hoping to pick up some juicy gossip. But no one expected this:

The two fanbases were actually on their best behavior?

The pair actually got along naturally and acted affectionate?

They were even going everywhere together?

Something seemed off. Fans from both sides began complimenting each other, treating each other with perfect courtesy. It was nothing short of a miracle of the century.

Fans from both sides replied in unison: "That's just how brothers are."

So the internet concluded that the two were faking a couple image for publicity and pretending to be gay.

No one could have imagined that one day the world would become so incredibly bizarre. The supernatural Gifted, out of a fantasy, might be right beside you. Then a bombshell announcement shook everyone:

Mei Junfeng, the fresh-faced star of the entertainment industry, was the infamous King of the Underworld, a cruel and ruthless figure feared by every Gifted and standing above them all.

When the King of the Underworld says you die at the third watch, who would dare let you live until the fifth?

One madman even publicly called out to Mei Junfeng, inviting him to join his side.

For a time, the whole country turned against Mei Junfeng, demanding that he leave the entertainment industry and that the relevant authorities arrest him immediately.

Mei Junfeng held up his identification as the head of the Operations Division of the Special Gene Expression Public Order Administration Bureau and smiled professionally. "Sorry, who did you say should be arrested? Thanks for the offer, but once you enter the civil service, the sea runs deep. I've already signed away my freedom, so I'll have to politely decline your invitation."

Then, in full view of everyone, the entertainment industry's icy beauty Shen Qinghao naturally leaned in and kissed the King of the Underworld. His cool gaze swept across the crowd. "If anyone has a problem with Director Mei, you're welcome to take it up with me. And to clarify, we're not faking a couple image. Director Mei has already made our relationship official, so stop spreading rumors."

Everyone: So this is what socialist brotherhood looks like. We've seen it now.

Beautiful, powerful, tragic demon king and timid, reckless bottom Mei Junfeng x aloof, secretly passionate commander and top Shen Qinghao

Blurb:

I'm a prince whom neither my father nor my mother loves, and my only source of affection is my eldest brother. I'm practically invisible in the palace. My one wish in life is for my eldest brother to become Crown Prince, ascend the throne, and fulfill his ambitions.

That's right, I'm a hopeless fanboy of my eldest brother, beyond all cure. I'd do anything for him.

Life had been peaceful enough, just eating my fill and waiting to die. But for some reason, starting one day, everyone began acting strangely.

My eldest brother suddenly ran into my room while I was asleep and hugged me, crying uncontrollably. I swear, given how composed he is, he hasn't cried like that since he was five.

My royal father, for some inexplicable reason, remembered from the depths of his mind that he had another son. I would rather he forgot about me. That would be better than having to get up at dawn for court every day, kneel for three days, and get smacked with a ruler every five days.

The northern kingdom of Yan, for reasons I can't fathom, said that to show the friendship between our two kingdoms, we should exchange hostages. They specifically asked for me. Just as I was preparing to go and leave my life behind while I was at it, my royal father actually refused.

And somehow, I was treated to several assassination attempts, a privilege usually reserved for people of great importance.

I thought everyone had taken the wrong medicine. Only later did I learn that they'd all lived through another life.

Later still, I discovered that I was also a freaking old monster who had been reborn twice.
