Blurb: Shen Shuyi debuted as the winner of a talent show, yet came back to being a nobody. His boyfriend announced his relationship, but his partner wasn’t Shen Shuyi. The show he’d signed a contract for canceled on him at the last minute. He didn’t have to fly out after all. At the airport, Shen Shuyi stared at his scumbag ex’s relationship announcement on Weibo, his fingers stiff. Head bowed, he held a teddy bear almost as tall as he was, squeezed in by fans from who-knows-which fandom, and nearly fell over. A hand steadied him. The flashes were so bright he couldn’t open his eyes. Shen Shuyi clutched his teddy bear nervously. A low voice sounded beside his ear. “Would you like an autograph?” Shen Shuyi was so nervous he thought the man was asking him for an autograph. A fair, pretty face cautiously peeped out from behind the teddy bear. In a tiny voice, he asked, “S-sign where?” “Hahahaha!!! Help!!! A nobody from the eighteenth tier asks Gu Chi where he should sign! Help! He wants to play the adorable idiot, but does he have to be this ridiculously stupid?” “Shen Shuyi’s been acting all coy for ages. He debuted ten years ago and is still a nobody. How does he have the nerve to ask Gu Chi where he should sign?” “He’s just trying to ride the wave of Gu Chi’s popularity. He has no shame.” “But, seriously, Shen Shuyi is so good-looking! If he pulled fewer stunts, he’d have been famous ages ago, just on the strength of that face.” #Not famous, but always riding someone else’s coattails# #Tea Art Master Shen Shuyi# #Shen Shuyi, eighteenth-tier has-been# After years of obscurity, Shen Shuyi became famous again, but as a notorious celebrity. Thanks to a certain someone, Shen Shuyi’s popularity soared. One day, his manager came to see him. “A variety show wants you. The pay is good, and the filming schedule isn’t too long. Qi Yan, the guy who cheated on you with Jiang Yu, is on it too. Oh, and your rumored boyfriend Gu Chi will be there.” Shen Shuyi stiffened and asked in a tiny voice, “Can I not go?” His manager nodded. “Sure, as long as you can still make your mortgage payment next month.” Shen Shuyi blankly hugged his teddy bear. After the show Let’s Set Off Together in Spring aired, the “Gu Yi” ship came out of nowhere. “Holy crap! Is Gu Chi’s team dead? They’re just letting Shen Shuyi suck Gu Chi dry?” “Please, Shen Shuyi, be a decent person. Can you stop leeching off my Gu Chi?” “This is so ridiculous. Is Shen the Has-Been unable to walk on his own without our Gu Chi?” Later “Ahhh! How is Shuyi good at everything? Cooking and crafts are one thing, but he even made Gu Chi a wooden chair by hand! Is there anything he can’t do???” “Put ‘Shuyi can do anything’ on the screen!” “Oh my god, what was that piece Shuyi played on the show? It was so beautiful!” “Oh my god, I didn’t know Shuyi was so good at street dance!” “He can sing and dance, and he still isn’t famous? What?” “Um... is it just me, or does my Chi-ge seem a little unworthy of my Shuyi now?” “Girl, you’re not alone!!!” Shen Shuyi became a sensation in the entertainment industry through variety shows, landing more endorsements, appearances, and film and television roles than he could handle. One day, his fans asked him to livestream a special treat. +++ Gu Chi unexpectedly appeared on camera with his upper body bare. Shen Shuyi blushed and asked softly, “W-why aren’t you wearing clothes?” The screen went black the next second. The comments exploded Socially anxious, adorable, and immensely talented bottom VS top-tier star and award-winning actor top (blurb dated 2022.3.4) Blurb for The Little Shopkeeper of the Republic of China: A Sheng is mute. As the young master of Changqing Restaurant in Fucheng, he doesn’t need to worry about finding a wife, even if he can’t speak. No matter how eloquently the matchmakers tried to sell their proposals, A Sheng only smiled and shook his head, rejecting them all. The shopkeeper of the Zheng family’s eatery next door asked curiously, “A Sheng, what sort of girl do you like?” A Sheng pointed toward the tallest building in Fucheng, the Fucheng Governor’s residence. Shopkeeper Sun clicked his tongue. Good heavens! The governor’s daughter was far beyond the reach of an ordinary family. If this were the previous dynasty, the governor’s daughter would surely have to marry a member of the imperial family or a minister’s son. There was no way she’d marry the young master of a restaurant. When his father found out, he flew into a rage and cursed him, saying he was a toad lusting after swan meat, a scabby bachelor dreaming of marrying a beauty, and a fool chasing pipe dreams! A Sheng smiled and felt his smooth, plump cheeks. He didn’t argue. Wasn’t that the truth? But he couldn’t help the way he felt. What could he do? Besides, his father and Grandpa Sun were both wrong. The person he liked wasn’t the governor’s pampered young lady. He liked the man who lived in that old-fashioned garden beside the governor’s residence! In the first half of his life, Xie Fang had lived freely and happily, believing that a gentleman should enjoy life while he could. If his eldest brother wanted to fight for power, he could have at it. If his third younger brother wanted his share of the family business, he could take it. All Xie Fang wanted was to listen to opera, tend his flowers, and live a quiet, carefree life. Then his mother died. His younger brother schemed against him, and he lost all his assets. Heartbroken, he spent his days drinking. His drinking became an addiction, and with snot dripping from his nose, he was driven out like a dog. The bones in the hands he’d once been so proud of were trampled and broken. His body and head were drenched in foul water. Flies buzzed in his ears. Even he loathed himself and wanted nothing more than to end it all. Only one person came to him, held him, and carried him home on his back. The tenth year of Qinghe, an ordinary evening. Xie Fang sat on the stone steps outside his house every day, but his little mute never came back. Only then did Xie Fang understand that in this chaotic era, without power, influence, or money, he couldn’t protect even himself. In the end, he couldn’t protect his A Sheng either... Note: The top is reborn. The bottom remained mute until his death in his previous life. In this life, he will be cured. Theme: Even ordinary people can have great dreams
