[From the Bottom's Point of View]
Mu Ming had a childhood friend who died young, an invincible moonlight in his heart.
After an accident, Mu Ming's memory became a "leaky sieve," and he could barely remember anything about that beloved person.
Then a mysterious company offered Mu Ming a job, claiming that if he completed their missions, they could not only help him recover his memories but also let him see his beloved again.
From then on, Mu Ming lived an ascetic life of [Work is all I care about.jpg]. He witnessed all kinds of incredible things on one mission after another, but he still had only three goals in life:
1. Recover his memories;
2. See his beloved one more time;
3. Die for love.
Then, during an off-site mission, someone forced him to use a "Have You Slept Yet" service.
Late that night, he even mistook a handsome passerby for a "sex robot"...
Mu Ming: "I don't have any experience. You decide. Should we start by taking our clothes off or having a shower?"
The handsome man, eyes wide with shock: "I'm not a gigolo!"
Mu Ming: "Then are you a human?"
The handsome man: "That's a pretty rude thing to ask..."
This embarrassingly lustful first encounter led to the handsome Xiao Zhuo becoming Mu Ming's new partner by sheer coincidence.
Mu Ming: ...It's no big deal. Don't panic. What haven't I seen before?
From then on, his stagnant life was like a firecracker had been thrown into it. The two of them joined forces and traveled through one world after another:
1. A shady wellness center on the edge of a black hole, where people who work until age thirty are automatically killed;
2. A strange old house deep in the mountains, where the dead knock on the door in the middle of the night...
3. An underground city at the end of the world, where zombies break out and the last humans on Earth struggle to survive...
4. A mysterious company full of suspicious details, where new hires have to undergo surgery...
5. A dream of false riches, where meals and lodging are provided, and you even get a wife (.)
Mu Ming realized that ever since he met Xiao Zhuo, not only had his life turned upside down, but every mission had become a whole new experience.
In short: thrilling, and unlucky.
Xiao Zhuo (curious) (having fun) (I don't want to die, aaah): "Boss! Have you seen this kind of thing before?"
Mu Ming (we're already here) (if I die, I die): "I have now..."
Then one day, Xiao Zhuo blushed and confessed his feelings.
Mu Ming (eyes wide with shock): "I have a boyfriend, even though he's dead."
Later, once everything was settled, Mu Ming realized that the beloved he thought was "dead" seemed to be right in front of him...
Xiao Zhuo: "I heard you keep telling people I'm your dead boyfriend."
Mu Ming: ...Oh no. This was one situation he really hadn't seen before.
[From the Top's Point of View]
Many years ago, Xiao Zhuo was kidnapped and had his memories completely erased. All he remembered was that he had a "younger brother" waiting for him.
To go home and find his "younger brother," Xiao Zhuo spent eleven years trying to escape.
But just after he finally got away, a mysterious company caught him and claimed that if he completed their missions, they would let him go home and see his younger brother.
Xiao Zhuo: Then what are we waiting for? Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work.
.
His mission partner was Mu Ming, whose goals in life were completely different from his own.
Himself: Maximize the will to live. This food is great (munch munch). This is fun (hee hee). Being alive is wonderful.jpg
Mu Ming: Calm, with a hint of madness. Living just to die for love. Just barely getting by is fine, and dying would be fine too (.
On one unlucky but thrilling mission after another, Xiao Zhuo discovered that everyone knew Mu Ming had a "dead" childhood friend, his beloved moonlight.
But Xiao Zhuo still couldn't help falling for him. As expected, his confession was rejected.
Xiao Zhuo (heartbroken) (but not giving up) (opening Xidu):
How can the new guy beat the childhood friend?
.
Later, when all his lost memories returned, Xiao Zhuo discovered something incredible:
He was the new guy, the childhood friend, and the "dead" beloved all at once!!!
Xiao Zhuo: I've never seen anything like this! But I've got a wife now!!!
* The gong: a sunny, cheerful "boy" who's great at fighting and loves to laugh.
The shou: a beautiful and dependable, level-headed person (we're already here.jpg) who always gets revenge, or he can't sleep.
* One-on-one romance, happy ending.
* The story will open with the plot of a mission world, but everything and everyone encountered on each mission ultimately serves to advance the main plot and the romance between the leads. If anything is left unresolved at the end of a volume, it may be foreshadowing.

Below is the blurb for my next upcoming novel, Stand-In for Hire, a beauty-tames-the-dog story:
01
Qin Guanyu had a beloved moonlight, but after pining for him for three years, he still had nothing to show for it.
Then one day, he met a stunning beauty whose features closely resembled his beloved.
On impulse, Qin Guanyu handed him a Stand-In Agreement.
The beauty: "Sure, but I have a main job. I can only work as your stand-in part-time."
Qin Guanyu: ...
The beauty: "Take it or leave it."
Qin Guanyu: "I'll take it! I'll take it!"
02
Shen Qian Ci fell in love with the young master of the Qin Group at first sight. Before he could even cast his line, the "fish" jumped right into his arms.
On his first day as a stand-in, Shen Qian Ci arrived at Qin Guanyu's home on time, only to find that the young master had downloaded a gigabyte of stand-in romance stories and was studying them intently.
When Qin Guanyu saw him, he transformed in a second from a "confused puppy" into a "cold and aloof CEO," then ordered him around:
"Come massage me."
Shen Qian Ci: "Would your beloved do this for you?"
Qin Guanyu: "No."
Shen Qian Ci: "If I do it, I won't be anything like him. So how would I still count as a stand-in?"
Qin Guanyu: ...
Shen Qian Ci: "What would you do for your beloved?"
Qin Guanyu: "He's too busy. I've never had the chance to do anything for him."
Shen Qian Ci: "Now you have me as your stand-in, so you can do all the things you wanted to do but never got the chance to. I've had a long day at work and I'm exhausted. Come massage me."
03
One afternoon, Qin Guanyu was dozing in his chair when he suddenly felt Shen Qian Ci lean over, about to kiss him.
His heart thundered, and he could hardly stop himself from puckering his lips.
Just as their lips were about to touch, his beloved suddenly walked in.
Shen Qian Ci immediately turned and left.
Qin Guanyu: ??? Where's my kiss? I didn't get to kiss him!!!
Three days later, Qin Guanyu was still waiting for Shen Qian Ci to make up that kiss.
A week later, he was still waiting.
A month later, Qin Guanyu went to Shen Qian Ci's school and waited for him. "Where's my kiss?"
Shen Qian Ci: "What kiss?"
Qin Guanyu: "Weren't you about to kiss me that day?"
Shen Qian Ci: "That never happened. Don't make things up."
Qin Guanyu paced in front of him in a panic. "It did! Hurry up and make up my kiss!"
04
When the Stand-In Agreement was about to expire, Qin Guanyu suddenly learned that Shen Qian Ci was going on a blind date.
Qin Guanyu: On alert.jpg
That night, Qin Guanyu climbed into bed and hugged him. "Are you really going on a blind date?"
Shen Qian Ci: "Yeah. Our contract is almost up, and it's time I thought about settling down. If we get along, we can date, and if things work out, get married."
Qin Guanyu: "Get married??!!"
The next day, when Shen Qian Ci returned from his blind date, he found that the young master had nearly torn the house apart, then curled up in the corner of the sofa, pretending to be hurt.

I'm so annoyed. School starts tomorrow. I picked up books and cleaned today. I got a blister while sweeping the floor. When I found out it was broken... Bao, please write well. I'll come back and read it on Friday.
Brother Qian, long time no see. When will you take your guy out for a walk? Hahaha [Kiss]
Good night, sweet dreams [Good Luck Lotus]
No, I care! Will the next person appear is Liang Qian from another time and space? Also, can deep and shallow CP come to a small theater? I miss them so much [star eyes] [red heart] [heart]
Bao, the pre-accepted him and him, why can't I find it? I'm really looking forward to your campus article, or is it the eighteen-year-old him and him? I remember the copywriting is different qaq [question mark]
Yun Qiao and Lin Cen must be happy. I watched "The Little Boyfriend I Found Always Disappears" in one sitting in the early morning. I cried so hard that I came here to find comfort.
I read Part-Time Stand first and then this one. I got goosebumps when I saw the name Lin Cen. The teacher has very strong structural skills.
Honey, it's already been half of 25 years! Hurry up and write! [Spread flowers]
Do I rely on The Truman Show?
I bought the article before but didn't read much of it, and now I'm regretting it all, Qiaoqiao Acen, I miss you [burst crying]
Will you write a side story about Yun Qiao and A Cen in the parallel world? [Pitiful]
