Playing It Cool in a Possessive Romance

Upcoming novel: "Shut-Ins Belong with Yanderes." The blurb is at the very bottom. [A bittersweet little sweet treat. Reader's guide at the bottom.] [Please don't comment on pirated copies.] [I'm revising this story.] Xu Ruchi woke up one day as a delicate, innocent heroine in an obsessive romance, after being an unlucky corporate drone... Although he was too weak to lift anything or stand up to anyone, that didn't stop the protagonist from staying true to himself and reaching a bad ending by bringing them both down. "..." Xu Ruchi lowered his eyes to look at his slender, pale wrists and sighed helplessly. One snap and they'd probably break... But why did he have to starve himself? The other person was so eager to provide him with luxurious accommodation and meals. So... why not accept? Wasn't being a lazy fish just fine? * One day, Qin Sheng returned to the villa and saw the butler holding an untouched breakfast with a troubled expression. He headed upstairs with a frigid look on his face... "Is he still refusing to eat?" "Young Master, actually..." The door swung open, but the expected scene of the other person weeping and sobbing never appeared. The person in bed was sleeping comfortably, even snoring softly. It turned out he'd slept until noon and missed lunch. The lump under the covers seemed to hear the noise and mumbled, "Close the curtains for me..." "..." * A miserable corporate drone who only wants to lie flat and be a lazy fish x A neurotic big shot pretending to be a good person in an obsessive romance Reader's guide: 1. Mostly everyday life and romance, with no major plot developments. 2. One-on-one romance. They're each other's only one. 3. Some of the setting comes from the original book and will be explained later. 4. There is a secondary couple, but they don't get much page time overall. 5. The love interest is unusual (his values aren't exactly upright), and he uses force early on. There are also fantasy elements throughout. If you need to avoid this, please do so now. The coercive scenes are real. 6. Remember, this is just a story. Don't relate it too much to reality or get too carried away (heart). 7. The love interest and protagonist don't have a normal relationship, so it shouldn't be taken as an example. Readers with a strong sense of morality may want to avoid it. 8. This story has comments along the lines of "the protagonist is too weak, it's like a BG romance." If that bothers you, please avoid it. 9. If all of the above is fine with you, then feel free to give this story a try. (Little Chi sends love.) Upcoming novel blurb: "Shut-Ins Belong with Yanderes" ★ Protagonist: Shen Lin. Love interest: Lu Yuting. Ever since Shen Lin transmigrated into a book and arrived in a new world, he hadn't wanted to move at all. Who was whose moonlight? Who was whose cinnabar mole? Who was chasing their spouse to a crematorium, and who was going to fake their death for a tragic romance? None of that had anything to do with him. All he wanted was to hole up in a room and shut himself away from the world. But his good days didn't last long. A heartless wealthy family dragged Shen Lin out of his rundown rental and told him he had to attend an arranged marriage. Shen Lin: "...So being an illegitimate child in a novel only has this one use?" Apparently, the other man was the villain who had failed to win the protagonist's love. He was twisted, and later in the story he liked to chain people up and walk them around. Shen Lin: "...The big shot has some pretty unusual hobbies." But the man's house was over a thousand square meters, with unlimited Wi-Fi, no one to bother him, and a private chef on call around the clock who knew all eight major Chinese cuisines. Shen Lin: "...Where is my dear husband?" * A friend once cautiously asked Lu Yuting, "The Shen family loves pulling this kind of stunt. You don't have to take in some cheap knockoff. Why not get rid of him?" The other man simply stroked the beads on his wrist, his expression unchanged, and murmured, "He brought his own suitcase here." Friend: "??? So..." Lu Yuting stood up to leave, a flicker passing through his deep, pool-like eyes. "I won't kill him just yet. I want to see what tricks he's got." But the moment he walked into the house... A painfully tacky song blared like a demonic chant. Colored disco lights flashed across the villa's first floor, and the butler, chef, and servants looked on worriedly around the coffee table. Standing on it was a tipsy young man, earnestly belting out karaoke. Lu Yuting shut the door in one swift motion, his usually composed expression showing a few cracks. But when he opened it again, the tipsy young man had somehow appeared right at the entrance. He asked in a daze, "How do you have a key to my house?" Lu Yuting: "?" Less than two seconds later, the door clicked shut again. Lu Yuting was so amused he couldn't help laughing. A powerful love interest who can turn the world upside down vs. a shut-in protagonist who only wants to stay home There is a rebirth element. The protagonist has a faint air of seeming half-dead despite being alive. Marriage first, love later. This is a comedy (not really). Highlight: A real shut-in and a real yandere. There will be all kinds of handcuffs and stuff, lol. Reader's guide: I remembered that Little Chi's previous story started with no Wi-Fi, which was awful. This one is going to let us enjoy staying home! Theme: Learn to enjoy life instead of being forced along by it.
