[Coming soon: Transmigrated as the Comparison Character to the Male Lead in a Period Novel. Synopsis at the bottom. Please add it to your favorites!]

Ji Shu transmigrates into a trashy romance-obsessed cannon-fodder character in a novel about a heaven-defying hero. He worships his boyfriend, goes crazy for him, and repeatedly runs headfirst into a wall for his sake.

In the end, he even targets the male lead for his boyfriend, only to be ruthlessly dealt with by the male lead after he turns villainous. Ji Shu is left with nothing, and all he gets in return is, "We're just friends."

Ji Shu resolves to stay away from the scumbag, but when he wakes up from a nap, he's lying in the male lead's bed.

"Beep beep beep! Welcome, Host, to the Matchmaker System! Work hard to help the male lead find true love. There's the capable subordinate, the childhood friend, and the first love who's returned from abroad. Surely one of them is right for you!"

Ji Shu has found his purpose!

When he meets the capable female subordinate, Ji Shu whispers a helpful tip: the male lead likes pretty people!

The female subordinate betrays the company and runs off!

When he meets the sweet childhood friend, Ji Shu earnestly plays matchmaker: the male lead absolutely loves clingy types.

The childhood friend gets caught plagiarizing and hauled off to the police station.

When the first love who returned from abroad finally appears, Ji Shu clenches his fist. This is the last one!

Just as he's full of anticipation, the male lead grabs him and drags him home. After a dizzying night of passion, three days later, Ji Shu clutches his nearly broken back and angrily pounds the bed. "System, this isn't what we agreed on!"

The System replies, "What's the problem? You're the male lead's capable subordinate and childhood friend, and you're also the first love he met after returning from abroad!"

One day, Ji Shu gets lost in the wilderness. At last, he spots a house and goes up to knock. Someone inside asks, "Who's there?"

Ji Shu answers with a perfectly straight face, "I'm Shao Zhan's capable subordinate, childhood friend, and first love who returned from abroad."

The person inside immediately replies, "No, no, no. There's no room for that many people!"

Turns out the domineering CEO is a hopeless romantic!

Hopeless-romantic gong Shao Zhan x dramatic, silly shou Ji Shu

A goofy 1v1 romance.

Shao Zhan only ever loves Ji Shu, from beginning to end!

[Mindless fluff. Please don't read if that's not your thing!!!]

Transmigrated as the Comparison Character to the Male Lead in a Period Novel

Song Wang transmigrates as the comparison character to the male lead in a period novel.

In the original story, the male lead is orphaned at a young age, while the comparison character has respectable working parents. Since they simply don't have the time to raise the boys, both are sent to live with a family in the village.

As the comparison character, he has been maxing out the male lead's resentment since childhood.

As a child, the male lead works in the dead of winter, his hands covered in painful cracks from the cold. The comparison character stays cozy indoors, lounging in comfort.

When the male lead grows up, he quickly leaves his uncle's home and goes out into the world on his own.

Later, the male lead builds the biggest house in the village, has half a dozen or more young women surrounding him, and grows his business until he's living the good life.

The comparison character, a useless man raised by his parents to do nothing for himself, inherits their shabby little house, marries a fierce widow from the neighboring village, and eventually gets hacked to death on a street corner over his loan-shark debts.

As soon as Song Wang transmigrates, he thinks that if he just keeps his distance from the male lead, he can escape the comparison character's fate.

But he realizes he can't make himself stay away.

The male lead looks so pitiful that he has to offer the comparison character wild fruit before he can eat any himself.

When the family pays for someone to attend school, the male lead can only stand outside and watch longingly.

Even after the autumn harvest, when the family has grain to spare, the male lead can only eat wild-vegetable dumplings, his stomach rumbling so loudly at night that it keeps him awake.

Song Wang is furious! The male lead is already so miserable. Why would anyone bully him?

Xie Shenming is reborn and opens his eyes to find himself back in his miserable childhood.

He can't get enough to eat or wear, and he's beaten and berated every day.

Just as he's figuring out how to kill Song Wang, Song Wang opens the door to winter.
