---- Blurb ----

He Tingzhi transmigrates into a book about a male lead who is a deranged male insect.

This male insect is cruel, sinister, and terrifying, and will become the most frightening being in the world.

Unexpectedly, on his very first day, He Tingzhi is picked up by the male lead, who mistakes him for a child. He Tingzhi looks at the male lead, whose gaze is unreadable.

He Tingzhi: Nope.

Knowing how the story ends, he works hard to earn the protagonist's favor and keep away all those who covet the male lead...

A beautiful, proud male insect lowers his eyes and says coolly, "You think someone like you can lay a hand on my male parent?"

The male lead's gaze on him grows stranger and stranger.

He Tingzhi never expected the other to start coveting him.

He looks at the male lead, kneeling docilely at his feet with his head bowed. His uniform outlines a slender waist that sparks the imagination.

He Tingzhi: I'm trying to follow the plot, so don't suddenly kiss me!

One day, he sees the other wearing his uniform, his belly just beginning to bulge, and his mind goes completely blank.

#Help, nobody told me the male lead could get pregnant.#

#So what now, do I take responsibility for him?#

#Fine, I kind of like him too.#

Xie Yubai, the empire's notorious madman, picks up a child. As everyone wonders what sort of miserable life this male would have, they discover that this violent, ill-tempered noble male insect whom no one would dare marry has actually gotten married?

Everyone: It's fine. A violent, nasty male insect like him won't find a decent male spouse anyway.

Later, everyone sees a refined, beautiful male insect gently and attentively rubbing Xie Yubai's belly as he carries an egg.

Good heavens, do gentle and beautiful male insects like this really exist?

Why on earth has someone like Xie Yubai managed to claim him?

Xie Yubai picks up a child and pretends to be calm and collected in front of him, but every day this male insect leaves him weak in the knees with his flirtation.

The other seems completely unaware of it.

At last, he can't hold back: "I raised you to be my fiance, but all you want is for me to be your male parent?"

#He Tingzhi: What do I do if I've turned the male lead gay?#

[Reader Advisory]

Gentle but secretly dark, awkward top x yandere, unhinged male lead bottom

Extreme character loyalists, stay away | They turn each other gay | Mutual devotion, 1v1, happy ending, top's POV.

May be quite intense | But this novel's values are genuinely upright.

[Important: Extreme character loyalists, stay away. I'm writing a romance, so don't come looking for attention in my comments. Please keep your language clean.]

[The top and bottom are both my precious children.]

---- Blurb for How Could Anyone Use Love as Revenge? ----

A wickedly beautiful real young master, taken back by his family and excessively manipulated, becomes jealous of the radiant, virtuous fake young master who exchanged lives with him, and decides to take revenge on him.

After much deliberation, he comes up with a brilliant plan: seduce him, then dump him.

The fake young master receives a picture from a "new friend" less than a hundred meters away: White stockings?

They must have sent it to the wrong person.

The fake young master isn't interested in women, but those legs really are to his taste. He quietly saves the picture and asks sincerely: Did you send this to the wrong person?

The real young master: No. It's me. I want to date you.

The fake young master: ? Are you sick?

Though he's only a fake young master, he's been raised as the heir all along and feels terribly anxious about it. After working diligently for years, he finally loses it over one picture from the real young master.

For several nights in a row, he dreams of the other's face and feels confused and on the verge of a breakdown.

Online, everyone says the other's older brother is wonderful. In person, the other acts like he couldn't care less about his brother.

But people always end up loving what they once rejected, and the fake young master is no exception.

After receiving dozens of pictures of the other in women's clothes, pictures of his legs, and some rather indescribable photos, the fake young master finally can't hold back: "You want to date me?"

The real young master is so shy that he'd never admit in person that he's pursuing the fake young master.

The real young master gives a cool, reserved nod.

The first day of dating:

The fake young master asks sincerely: Are those pictures of your legs really of you?

The real young master nods.

The fake young master: I don't believe you. Show me, then.

After accidentally discovering the real young master's plan, the fake young master isn't angry. He kisses his little young master and asks, "Do you still want to dump me now?"

The real young master, who's fallen hard for his sweetheart, replies a little bashfully: "How about we don't break up?"

A tsundere real young master top who's incredibly clueless in certain matters

A dark, charming fake young master bottom who's happy to be tempted and willing to take the bait

○ A melodramatic story outline

○ Fundamentally a sweet romance (character loyalists, stay away | I'll give everyone equal attention :D)

○ The top is a poor little thing starved for love (a "romance prodigy")

○ The bottom is a genuine heartthrob and a total charmer
