I Really Was Blind Back Then [Book Transmigration]

[My other novel, My Frail Love Rival Is the Childhood Friend I Lost Years Ago, is now updating.]

Top-tier star Qu Nanze has the “good fortune” of catching the eye of box-office king Fei Wen, who pursues him relentlessly for two years. Qu Nanze finds the whole thing utterly maddening and can't stand it anymore.

Then he gets into a car accident and transmigrates into a fanfic written by a CP shipper.

“Congratulations! You have been bound to System 4311. You are now Qu Nanze, one of the protagonists in the Fei Wen x Qu Nanze dog-blood fanfic, The Domineering Emperor's Beloved White Moonlight Falls for Me. Complete the mission of winning over Fei Wen, your beloved white moonlight, and we will send you back to the real world.”

Qu Nanze looks at the options laid out before him and rolls his eyes so hard they nearly fall out. “I wanted to go back, but now that I see the mission is to win over Fei Wen, suddenly I don't want to.”

System: “If you fail the mission, we'll shoot you in the head and toss your corpse into the Pacific Ocean~ (^_^)”

Qu Nanze: “...Actually, I think I can give this a shot!!!”

And so...

With the help of his useless System, Qu Nanze begins his countless attempts to win over Fei Wen.

On a bitterly cold winter night, Qu Nanze waits outside Fei Wen's company with a bouquet in hand. When he sees Fei Wen, he puts on the performance of a lifetime.

“Hello, Emperor Fei. I've liked you for a long time. Would you be my boyfriend?”

Fei Wen, wearing a cold expression: “Sorry, I'm not interested in you!”

Qu Nanze: “...”

On a scorching summer day, Qu Nanze follows Fei Wen around the set with a parasol, deliberately leaning close to his face to tenderly brush the damp hair from his forehead.

“The sun's so hot. My darling's going to overheat.”

Fei Wen just scowls and snaps, “Are you sick?”

“...”

Later, Qu Nanze realizes that not only is he sick, he's seriously ill. Because how can Fei Wen be so, so, so handsome? Changing his clothes, running a hand through his hair, even casually glancing his way, Fei Wen is seducing him without saying a word!?

What do you do when you transmigrate into a book and get so dazzled by your husband that you can't think straight? Asking online!

After returning to the real world:

Qu Nanze accepts Fei Wen's advances, and the internet instantly crashes. Soon after, they are invited to appear on a couples' interview show.

The CP shippers go wild. The novel has become reality.

Host: “Nanze, how did you manage to win Emperor Fei over back then?”

Qu Nanze is just about to answer when Fei Wen raises an eyebrow and flashes a confident, carefree smile. “He was blind back then. I was the one pursuing him the whole time.”

Qu Nanze: ?

#YouThinkYou'reWinningMeOverButI'mActuallyWinningYouOver#

Both are each other's first and only.

Qu is the top, Fei is the bottom. One is shameless, the other only pretends to be proper.

Both are putting on a performance.

Same-sex marriage is legal.

Younger top, five-year age gap.

Also, the System really is useless.

Coming soon!!! Rule-Breaking Romance

As two famous students at Lanyang High, Jiang Huai and Jiang Xiongyu never crossed paths during their freshman year. When fate occasionally had them reciting apologies side by side, all they did was shoot each other a disdainful glance.

After a year of exchanging looks, Jiang Huai concluded that Jiang Xiongyu was too much of a punk, while Jiang Xiongyu decided Jiang Huai was too pretentious.

Their first real confrontation took place on a sunny afternoon after the rain. An accident splattered a layer of mud across Jiang Huai's signed T-shirt from an Asian pop king, while Jiang Xiongyu's basketball, the same model used in the Basketball World Cup, rolled into a filthy ditch. That was how the two became sworn enemies.

When they met again after being assigned to different classes in their second year, not only were they placed in the same class, but their teacher even sat them together, calling them the class's two “characters.”

Other deskmates got along. These two immature idiots drew a boundary line between them. If either crossed it, they had to take a punch and call the other “Dad.”

Everyone in class knew the two big shots in the back row got into a fight every few days. Punching arms and kicking legs was just their way of getting warmed up.

The adjustment period, sophomore year:

Other deskmates studied hard and helped each other.

The two of them covered for each other so they could skip class, play games, and shoot hoops.

The confidant stage, junior year:

Other deskmates looked to the future and planned which university to attend.

The two of them began lamenting life and decided to keep each other in check as they made one last desperate push.

Later, the whole class was shocked to see the two big shots bent over their books together after class. At lunch, their heads were pressed together, with a uniform draped over them to block everyone's view.

Jiang Tun casually replied, “Blocking the light.”

Classmates: “...Do you two only have one uniform?!”

Jiang Xiongyu loved listening to Jiang Tun sing. He knew Jiang Tun's dream was to become a singer and put on a grand concert.

They met in high school. Jiang Xiongyu was by Jiang Tun's side throughout his rise to stardom, from their mutual dislike at first to their mutual support later on.

The company forbade Jiang Tun from dating while he was at the height of his fame. He agreed, but still broke the rules to meet Jiang Xiongyu and kiss him openly.

Then Jiang Xiongyu was exposed online as having an improper relationship with the top-tier star. He was cyberbullied by crazed fans and sent threatening letters.

Jiang Xiongyu punched every paparazzo he ran into, making it clear he wasn't a pushover.

The two had a rough patch during that time and nearly broke up.

Later, Jiang Tun's national tour brought him to the city where they first met. There, he announced in front of everyone that Jiang Xiongyu was his same-sex partner, and that they had been together for nearly ten years.

At the same time, this was his final concert before retiring from music.

“I bid farewell to poetry and distant horizons, in search of dreams and home.”

Coming soon: My Love Rival Is Pathetically Weak

In high school, Du Linyi battled Lin Yuan over everything, even landing in the hospital after fighting for the beautiful second male lead just a week before the college entrance exam.

So the two went into the exam hall like this: one with his arm in a sling, the other on crutches.

Before that, they competed in grades, physical fitness, and the arts. Even the number of love letters they received every year on May 20 became a way to one-up each other.

In a word: relentless.

Du Linyi really thought Lin Yuan was pathetically weak. He couldn't beat him academically or physically. Where did he get the nerve to become his love rival?

When the exam results came out, Du Linyi thought he'd finally win the beauty's heart. But Lin Yuan got lucky and scraped into the same university as him and the beautiful second male lead.

Just as a new round of fighting was about to begin, the two of them saw the beautiful second male lead passionately kissing a fair-skinned, delicate male classmate on the sports field one dark and windy night.

They froze on the spot. They couldn't believe the beautiful second male lead would be into a fair-skinned, delicate guy who couldn't hurt a fly!

Du Linyi: “...So he likes the weak ones?”

Lin Yuan: “...I don't get it!”

*

Though they both got their hearts broken, their battle had already begun.

At a drinking party during a club event, Du Linyi opened a bottle of vodka and said to Lin Yuan, “You've been saying for years that you can't beat me at anything. Surely you can hold your liquor better than me, right?”

Lin Yuan looked at Du Linyi's smug face, picked up his full glass of vodka, and downed it in one go.

As it turned out, Lin Yuan really couldn't hold his liquor as well as Du Linyi.

Du Linyi looked at Lin Yuan, passed out drunk, and poked his cheek. “Lin Yuan, do you still like Yu Qing?”

Lin Yuan looked up at him with tired eyes. “I stopped liking him ages ago.”

After that, the two somehow ended up in bed. With Song Yuan pinned beneath him, Du Linyi asked, though he already knew the answer, “Who's on the bottom?”

Lin Yuan, getting in over his head, said, “How about we fight again?”

“...”

As it turned out, Lin Yuan really was weak!
