The next story, The Scheming Beauty Flirts with the Wrong Rich Heir, is complete. Lin Yun is the young master of the wealthy Lin family, and he's deeply in love with his fiance. But when he gets trapped in a burning building and finally manages to get through on a call for help, he hears his fiance making suggestive noises with another man on the other end. He closes his eyes, opens them again, and finds himself reborn at the very scene where his fiance proposed to him in public. Facing his boyfriend, down on one knee before him, Lin Yun says, "No, I can't accept, because..." In his panic, he points to the table where his older brother is sitting. "He doesn't approve!" Looking closer, the man walking over through the hazy lights is not his brother at all! As Lin Yun stands there awkwardly, the man steps forward and puts an arm around his waist. "Is it okay to make our relationship public this soon?" Lin Yun: "??? Wh... why wouldn't it be? Aren't you afraid someone will steal me away?" "I am." The man lowers his eyes, the corner of his mouth curving up as he tightens his embrace. After the banquet, Lin Yun blushes and apologizes. "Sorry, Siyige. Could you clear up the rumor?" In the night, the tall man watches him in silence. "I can, but wouldn't it look bad to break up right after announcing our engagement?" Lin Yun: "How about... we wait a little longer?" Some time later... Sang Siyi: I'm not feeling well today. Can I borrow a hug? Lin Yun, full of sympathy: S-sure. Sang Siyi: We need to show off our affection at tomorrow's family dinner. Can I kiss you? Lin Yun, his face turning bright red: A kiss... should be fine... Sang Siyi: The design competition show you're joining only has one room for us... Lin Yun pats his chest: Oh. I know, sharing a bed is fine! Sang Siyi: ... * No one knew that in his previous life, after hearing that something had happened to Lin Yun, Sang Siyi had risked his life to stop his own treatment and rush back from overseas overnight. But he never got to see Lin Yun one last time, or tell him how he felt. Reborn, he still has time to change everything. He showed up at the banquet only to take back the rose that belonged to him, never expecting the lovely little rose to reach out to him first.

He's not being redeemed; the love interest is replaced. So you won't find him on the cover... (The cover's individual character art is not exclusive.) * Both leads are each other's first and only. Although the shou had a boyfriend in his previous life, they were never intimate and barely even held hands.

[Upcoming Story] The Mortician Is Showered with Adoration in an Infinite Game Chen Yu is a mortician. He washes the dead, fixes their hair and makeup, and sews them beautiful clothes so they can leave this world with dignity. Because of his job, his family keeps their distance and he has no friends, but he doesn't mind. Then an accident sends him into a horror game... At a hospital, a female ghost appears, crying blood as she runs and jumps around, saying she wants to find her eyes. Chen Yu calmly washes away the bloody water on the floor, then gently takes the ghost's hand. "Don't worry, I'll help you find them and sew them back on." At a corner, he runs into a girl in a tattered dress. She stares eerily at the players and says, "Big brother, hug me." He picks her up at once, gazes fondly at her filthy dress, and sews her a new one from scraps, even embroidering Mickey on it. He strokes the girl's hair and asks, "Do you like it?" A hand with only four fingers reaches out from under the bed in the middle of the night, clutching a knife and screaming that it hurts. It grabs at the players, trying to hack them to pieces... He firmly takes the injured hand and helps it find its severed finger. Then he even gives it a manicure and reminds it, "Don't let anyone cut your fingers off again, okay?" Before long, Chen Yu notices that he keeps receiving strange little gifts: wet hair, red high heels, rusty keys stained with some unidentified liquid... The livestream audience watches the ghosts put down crucial items and run away blushing. Am I watching a horror livestream or a dating show??? At last, one day, the game's ultimate boss appears before Chen Yu. Chen Yu: Is there anything I can do for you? BOSS points to the left side of his chest: There's someone missing from here. [Upcoming Story] After Taking the Check, I Flirted with the Wrong Scumbag Ji Fang transmigrates into a wealthy-family romance novel full of angst, becoming the shou's villainous older brother. As soon as he arrives, a wealthy woman decked out in pearls and jewels hands him a check for one million and tells him to make her son leave his younger brother. In the original story, Ji Fang's predecessor takes the money and does the job. He takes advantage of a fight between the gong and shou to deliberately ruin their relationship, only to fall in love with the scumbag gong and relentlessly pursue him. In the end, everyone turns against him, and he becomes the most miserable cannon fodder. Ji Fang, who was at least a minor celebrity in his previous life, has seen money before. How could he give in so easily? He says, "One million? Who do you think you're looking down on?" The check amount changes to five million. Ji Fang: All right, boss! After he gets home, he gives his younger brother a bank card with one million on it. His brother looks humiliated. "Did you take that woman's money? I'm not leaving him." Ji Fang: "Who said you have to leave him? We need to reel in a big fish like this. I checked, and compared to the other rivals, your only weakness is your education. Go study abroad and get some qualifications. I'll stay here and make money until you come back." His brother: ??? The next day, Ji Fang sends his tearful brother off on a plane to study abroad. Then he turns around and shamelessly starts getting close to the gong. Ji Fang's plan is simple: first, send his younger brother away. Second, follow the original story and win over the scumbag gong, then disappear. Don't scumbags just love what they can't have? It's just that this scumbag seems even more handsome than the novel described. Ji Fang watches the suited man come out of the Shen Group, swallows, and starts diligently following the plot. "President Shen, have you missed me? I want to enter your world." "President Shen, complaining won't help. You need to hold me." "If your company goes bankrupt, I'll pick up trash to support you." People in novels are so naive. They've never heard the slick pickup lines of twenty-first-century men, and little by little, he starts getting hooked. Ji Fang completes his plan and successfully makes his escape, but his younger brother returns from studying abroad with a marriage certificate! He says he's grateful to Ji Fang. If not for his big brother, his boyfriend wouldn't have followed him overseas. It turns out he loves him so much. Ji Fang: Then who was I flirting with? On the wedding day, he sees the young master of the Shen family taking his younger brother to toast a man, calling him "Uncle." That man is the real head of the Shen family. Ji Fang immediately boards a plane overseas. Just before he turns off his phone, the man he abandoned calls him. "Where are you? Where did you go?" Ji Fang: "Actually, I've always dreamed of studying abroad." The man's voice comes from behind him. "Perfect. I was thinking of going overseas to expand the business, too." Theme: Believe in yourself. Everyone deserves the best kind of love!
