After Being Reborn Twice, I Became a Laid-Back Fish

[The historical transmigration novel next door, After Becoming Cannon Fodder in a Farming Novel, is complete. If you're interested, you can find it in my author profile!]

[The full story is complete. Any further updates will just be typo fixes.]

Other people are reborn once. Wen Yuzhou has been reborn twice.

The first time, Wen Yuzhou defied everyone's objections and insisted on joining the entertainment industry. His career ended in a car crash, leaving his parents to bury their child.

Reborn again, he looked at his own good looks, character, and abilities, as well as his huge following of haters, and finally realized he wasn't cut out for the entertainment industry.

Seeing the enormous penalty on his contract termination agreement, Wen Yuzhou sucked in a breath and decided to give up and happily slack off. Then, suddenly, one of his videos shot to the top of the trending charts.

Bystanders online: What heavenly heartthrob is this? I want his profile in one minute!

Wen Yuzhou: ?

He was playing a game when people dug up his account and accused him of paying for a boost to show off. He pulled out screenshots to prove his innocence.

Unexpectedly, a pro player chimed in: He's really good. He was practically one of my coaches.

The post sent fans of both gaming and entertainment into a frenzy, and at the same time, people uncovered his secret identity.

Fans of the entertainment world and gaming alike cheered in shock: You're my god!

Wen Yuzhou, who had watched the whole thing unfold, was baffled. How did my secret identity get exposed? And who is that pro player?

Bai Zeqing was a top-tier star whose fame was through the roof. He hated people who made it big through popularity and publicity stunts without having any actual work to show for it. Unfortunately, his next collaborator was exactly that kind of person, and he couldn't refuse the project.

On the day of filming, Bai Zeqing discovered that Wen Yuzhou was good at everything, acting included. But why would he choose the popularity route?

Bai Zeqing asked what was bothering him: Why did you choose to build your popularity with publicity stunts?

Wen Yuzhou thought it over. This route seemed easier.

Bai Zeqing: ?

Later, after learning all of Wen Yuzhou's secret identities, Bai Zeqing stared at the game screen in thought for a while before leaning closer. "Is it fun?"

Wen Yuzhou kept his head down, controlling his character. "It's alright."

Bai Zeqing bent down. "How about you let your husband play with you, hmm?"

Wen Yuzhou put down his phone and looked up. "I'm livestreaming."

The live chat instantly went wild. Bai Zeqing fell silent: ...

[Guide]

1. A career-obsessed gong who later pampers and protects his husband x a laid-back shou reborn twice.

2. The shou was reborn twice, but the story focuses on his second rebirth. His first rebirth had little to do with the gong. The story is mainly about the shou becoming famous while living the life of a lazy fish. Overall, it's a light, satisfying read, with the entertainment industry as the main focus and game livestreaming as a secondary element.

3. The author is a bit of an idiot, so the villains' intelligence depends on the author's intelligence that day. The logic might not be perfect or hold together, so read with caution.

4. The author isn't perfect, and the characters aren't either. Hope you lovely readers enjoy the story!

After Becoming Cannon Fodder in a Farming Novel

Lin Xingci opened his eyes and found that he had transmigrated into a farming novel, becoming a horrible cannon-fodder relative who wouldn't survive more than a few chapters.

In the novel, he was lazy and greedy, cheated and schemed, stole the protagonist's recipes, and made life difficult for him. There was nothing he wouldn't do, only things he hadn't thought of yet.

In the end, his misdeeds came to light and he was driven out of the village, where he starved to death while begging on the road.

Having learned the basic plot, Lin Xingci looked at the nearly empty rice jar and the ramshackle house, then hefted his hoe.

In an era when people could barely get enough to eat, why waste time keeping an eye on the protagonist? Eating well and making money came first!

So while the protagonist and his horrible relative schemed against each other, he grew vegetables in the fields.

While the protagonist and the person he loved were separated by a misunderstanding, he worked on pastries.

While the protagonist and his beloved were apart, he brought a man home to be his "laborer," drank fruit wine, ate pastries, and happily lived his own little life.

Later, Lin Xingci renovated his house and opened a shop in town, where the smell of meat wafted through the air every day.

The villagers who'd looked down on him now saw his elegant, stylish home and turned green with envy. They tried every way they could think of to marry their daughters off to him.

The daughter from the east village was as beautiful as a celestial maiden, the Li family's daughter was thrifty and good at managing a household, and the Wang family's son was hardworking and capable.

Lin Xingci was completely overwhelmed and hurried to refuse. "No, no, I don't need anyone!!"

He'd just sent everyone away and returned to his room when a man pinned him against the door and bit his ear as he asked, "Thinking about getting married?"

Lin Xingci was close to tears. "No, I'm not. I don't. Don't make things up."

The man chuckled. "That's alright. I'll marry you."

Lin Xingci: ??

After the wedding, Lin Xingci, exhausted after a long night, lay on the bed thinking. He'd only wanted someone to keep him company. How had things ended up like this?

A scheming, tiger-in-disguise big shot gong x a transmigrated shou who just wants to stay alive and live a quiet life

Theme: The little details of life are meant to be discovered one by one.
