[Blurb] Lin Jian stayed up in the middle of the night to sneak over a wall and watch dogs fight. He ended up injuring his brain and became convinced he was a cannon-fodder character in a novel.

Out of jealousy, the cannon fodder kept opposing the story's male lead. In the end, the male lead drove his family into bankruptcy, leaving him homeless and begging on the streets.

Thinking about his miserable future, Lin Jian lay in his hospital bed, clutching his blanket and weeping bitterly. Male lead, you've ruined my life...

Wait, what was the male lead's name again? What was it...

Just then, a business partner of the Lin family came to visit with his son. The partner introduced him: "This is my son, Qin Si."

Lin Jian's eyes lit up. That's him! Qin Si, the male lead!

In his previous life, Qin Si had always kept a secret: he liked Lin Jian. But because of his awkward personality, he only made Lin Jian dislike him.

Reborn, he resolved to change. He'd realized men were drawn to green tea types, so he trained hard in the art of acting sweet and coy, then went to find Lin Jian full of confidence.

Why was Lin Jian looking at him so strangely?

After some intense brainstorming, Lin Jian decided that while the male lead was still young, he would become a shadow that haunted him forever!

The male lead comes first in the grade on every exam?

Lin Jian pulls out the report card he'd just earned after staying up all night for two months, slaps it on the desk, and says disdainfully, "Tch, first in the grade? That's a piece of cake~"

The male lead gets picked on?

Lin Jian steps in at just the right moment, and the punks immediately drop to their knees and call him boss.

Sure enough, after all that, the male lead starts treating him differently, going out of his way to please him.

Lin Jian: Could the male lead want to be my underling? I wouldn't be against that.

But then things start getting weird. The male lead takes his hand, claiming it's because Lin Jian's hands might be cold, but Lin Jian thinks it's strange.

Qin Si (innocently): Is that not okay? Oh, I see... (lowers his eyes at just the right moment)

Lin Jian (fidgeting): Well, if you want to hold hands, go ahead.

The male lead holds him while they sleep, claiming it's to stop Lin Jian from rolling around and pressing on his injury?

Lin Jian wants to refuse, but then he sees the other man's hurt expression... Umm... Fine, fine. Do what you want.

And so Lin Jian's heart softens again and again... until they get together and he finally realizes, far too late, that this bastard has been playing him all along!

[Coming soon 1] The Real Young Master Is Everyone's Favorite in the Entertainment Industry

Lin Xiaoyang never expected to become the real young master in a story about a wealthy family's real and fake heirs.

The fake young master is the golden child in everyone's eyes, while Lin Xiaoyang can do nothing but eat.

To avoid a miserable fate, he has no choice but to swallow his pride and suck up to the fake young master.

He sweetly calls him Brother Gu and even offers to massage him when he hears he's tired from work.

But Lin Xiaoyang isn't as obedient as he looks. Hoping to get revenge, he puts all his strength into the massage.

The other man says, "Mm, not bad."

Lin Xiaoyang's hands ache all night from trying so hard, and he even curses the other man in his dreams. What he doesn't know is that during the massage, the fake young master was in so much pain that his muscles were twitching. But to keep Lin Xiaoyang from feeling bad, he pretended nothing was wrong.

To get closer to the fake young master, Lin Xiaoyang does more than shower him with compliments every day. Following a friend's advice, he gives him a hug now and then. Lin Xiaoyang thinks the other man will resist, but...

Fake young master (looking a little hopeful): "Didn't you say you wanted to hug me?"

Lin Xiaoyang: "?"

Things get stranger and stranger. One day, the fake young master finally can't take it anymore. "Lin Xiaoyang, I think we should change the way we define our relationship."

Lin Xiaoyang: "!" No way!

*Note: 1. The top's parents died when he was young, and the bottom's parents raised him in their place. They are not related by blood or by law, and they are not related in any formal sense either!

2. This is not a traditional real-and-fake-heir story.

[Coming soon 2] The Gloomy Big Shot Has a Cat

Tang Miaomiao is a little cat demon from the mountains. After spending a few days exploring the human world, he successfully wins over a human he likes.

The human is handsome and rich, and seems to have a high status in the human world. Most importantly, he obeys his cat master in everything. Tang Miaomiao is very pleased with him.

There's just one thing he doesn't like: his human seems sickly, and whenever Tang Miaomiao comes back from a whole day of wild play and goes to sleep, the human keeps saying strange things in his ear.

"Miaomiao, there won't be a next time."

"Miaomiao... cough, cough. You can only be mine."

"Miaomiao, did you hear me? Answer me."

The human's eyes brim with overwhelming possessiveness. Tang Miaomiao, who doesn't understand a thing, is so annoyed he could scream. Looking at the sickly human, he takes a deep breath and clenches his little paws. Hmph! Just wait until I cure your illness. Then you'll see what Miaomiao does to you!

But after the human recovers, Tang Miaomiao discovers a new problem. The human keeps kissing his face and paws, coaxing him.

"Miaomiao, want some dried fish?"

"Miaomiao, want some sweet wine?"

"Miaomiao, want to sleep with me?"

The human smiles faintly, his voice coaxing. "Turn into a human and I'll say yes, hm?"

Tang Miaomiao, who strictly follows the rules for raising a pet, plays dumb. "Meow meow meow?"

But one day, Tang Miaomiao finally can't take it anymore. In the other man's arms, he turns into a human and makes a fierce little face. "You're so annoying! I'm getting a different human!"

The human, who had been staring blankly, suddenly looks dangerous. He whispers in Tang Miaomiao's ear, "What was that you said, Miaomiao? Hm?"

Tang Miaomiao: Ahhh! Help! Someone here wants to eat meow!

The human smiles faintly: I do want to eat you, but in a different way.

Qi Lin was born under the sign of a baleful star and was said to be destined for a lonely life. Everything he'd experienced seemed to prove it.

Until one day... he had his Miaomiao. Miaomiao would be his lover, his family, his everything.

Theme: A small change can create an entirely different possibility.
