[My next novel is called Childhood Friends Who Returned to the Country and Won't Leave Me Alone. The blurb is below, so feel free to check it out if you're interested.]
Li Anzhou works part-time reviewing novels, then inexplicably transmigrates into a book and finds himself beside its domineering CEO.
The original author abandoned the story halfway through, making the CEO, who was supposed to be the male lead, seem like a villain. In the end, the author abruptly wrapped things up by having the female lead get together with her childhood friend.
Li Anzhou's task is to stop the CEO from turning into a villain and preserve the original ending.
When refusing proves impossible, Li Anzhou gets fired up. At the end of the day, all he has to do is stop the CEO from falling in love with the female lead!
So, as the CEO's personal assistant, he does a great job of preventing the two of them from having any chance to interact.
For example, at a banquet:
Li Anzhou steps in to take the female lead's drinks for her.
Even when he can barely stand, he remembers to tell her to ask her childhood friend to pick her up when she leaves.
When the CEO comes to take him away, Li Anzhou is too drunk to think straight and struggles as he says, "Hey, handsome, y-you have a great body, but I'm not into that sort of thing..."
Another example: when the female lead is in danger:
Li Anzhou steps in again and takes a few hits.
The CEO coolly applies medicine to his injuries. "Do you like her that much?"
Li Anzhou doesn't understand. "Like who?"
Later:
Li Anzhou succeeds in stopping the CEO from falling in love with the female lead.
But why does the CEO look at him so strangely?
Later still:
Drunk, the CEO pins him in a corner and says forcefully, "Don't like her. Like me."
Li Anzhou stares at him. "Huh?! I mean, I'm attracted to your body, but when did you turn gay?"

Cheng Jingwang is a young success, handsome and wealthy, the very image of a domineering CEO from a novel.
After he returns to the country, a college classmate who used to tell fortunes foists a personal assistant on him, claiming that having the assistant around will ward off bad luck.
For reasons he can't explain, Cheng Jingwang accepts.
Then, despite being the domineering CEO, he personally drives his assistant around, buys him clothes, and cooks for him...
Wait a minute.
Which one of them is the personal assistant?
Overprotective CEO top x short-tempered, sweet-natured assistant bottom
Reader's Guide:
1. Neither the top, the bottom, nor the original female lead has a romantic storyline, but the bottom gets along well with the female lead, making the top mistakenly believe he likes her.
2. The bottom doesn't transmigrate into a character in the book. He appears out of nowhere, and the reason will be explained.
3. Both are virgins, one-on-one, happy ending. An attempt at a silly, sweet story, written in a rather simplistic style.
[Blurb for Childhood Friends Who Returned to the Country and Won't Leave Me Alone]
As the genuine article among the rich second generation, Zhou Lianxun grew up spoiled, always getting whatever he wanted.
The only thing he couldn't have in his twenty-plus years was his childhood friend, Cheng Yilin, the heartthrob everyone adored.
Cheng Yilin is the eldest son of the Cheng Group, handsome, wealthy, and an excellent student. He's the famous "other people's child," admired by countless people.
Zhou Lianxun never dared to reveal how he felt.
Then, on his nineteenth birthday, the two of them got drunk, and everything that shouldn't have happened did.
When Zhou Lianxun woke up, Cheng Yilin had disappeared. He chased him overseas, only to hear him say, "I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I'm straight. Go home."
After that, Zhou Lianxun figured it out: love is something even a dog wouldn't touch.
Three years passed, and he heard that Cheng Yilin was coming back to the country.
Zhou Lianxun said he didn't care. If they ran into each other, he could just pretend they were strangers.
What he never expected was that Cheng Yilin, who had always been refined and proud, would come back and shamelessly cling to him?!
Zhou Lianxun throws a party to celebrate the opening of his bar.
Cheng Yilin follows behind him: Don't drink too much. It's bad for your health.
Zhou Lianxun sneers: What's it to you?
Zhou Lianxun parties late into the night.
Cheng Yilin tries to persuade him: Don't stay up late. It's bad for your health, and you could die suddenly.
Zhou Lianxun snaps: Go get treated for your illness. Stop jinxing me!
Zhou Lianxun knows Cheng Yilin feels guilty about what happened back then. Seeing him frequent bars and get along with everyone in their circle, Cheng Yilin thinks he's become an ignorant playboy and wants to cling to him and set him straight.
If that's the case, Zhou Lianxun certainly can't let him down. He deliberately acts like he's "throwing his life away" in front of Cheng Yilin, leading this so-called pride of heaven to worry about him, lose his temper over him, and even get into a fight with someone else for his sake.
But Zhou Lianxun never imagined that one day this pride of heaven would beg him like a madman: Could you fall in love with me again?
Bonus Scene:
Zhou Lianxun starts an entertainment company, signs an artist he believes in, and invests in a movie.
During the film's promotional tour, Zhou Lianxun speaks as an audience member. Someone films him and posts the video online.
It unexpectedly causes a stir. Lots of people praise his looks, and some even start shipping him with his own artist, spinning fantasies about a sugar daddy and his kept boy...
Zhou Lianxun doesn't take it seriously.
Cheng Yilin, on the other hand, blows up and posts on Weibo: "Stop shipping them. @Zhou Lianxun's husband is me [picture]"
The picture is unmistakably of the two of them kissing.
Zhou Lianxun: ??? You're so eager to claim me now? Who was it that said he was straight back then? =_=
Perfectionist, homophobic, and unaware he's trying to win back his love, an elite top x sharp-tongued, foul-mouthed, stubborn, fun-loving but faithful playboy bottom

??????? What is this damn old man doing? Still locking up his mother? And threatening him???
Looking at it like this, it's hard to like another member of the Cheng family who will be with Xiao Zhou in the future. Although that person should have his own sufferings, our Mr. Cheng is really miserable. Fortunately, I met Zhou Zhou. I was originally quite interested in Xiao Zhou's love story, but now it can be said that I am angry because I read this one first (face covering), and the other one is being serialized~
The protagonist is really... Hard to describe in one word, a bit stupid, and forced to stand out
A kind of naivety unique to college students
If the protagonist hadn't had this character, he might have been fired by his boss several times.
College students are so clear
Two deer feel so cute
I can't stop my aunt from laughing hehe???
The writing is so good. I feel so uncomfortable. Please update it quickly.
I feel like Shou has a relatively naive personality.
