The driver fled the scene, and the astronomical medical bills left Xie Qi struggling to breathe. He was on the verge of dropping out and selling his body for a living. Then one day, while bringing food to his parents, Xie Qi went to the wrong hospital room. A busy caregiver roped him into helping and asked him to wipe down the body of the comatose man in the bed. Xie Qi did as he was told, but just as he was about to leave, the man suddenly grabbed his hand. The caregiver was stunned and hurried to call for help. Even the comatose man's mother rushed over. Seeing what had happened, she wiped away tears and said, “You must be the one Yi Zhi likes. No wonder he reacted when he saw you.” Xie Qi said, “Ma'am, I'm not...” She cut him off. “Marry my son, and I'll give you 200,000 yuan in spending money every month. All you have to do is talk to him every day and try to stimulate him into waking up.” Xie Qi: “...” Xie Qi remained perfectly calm. “All right, Mom. Can we sign a contract?” After signing the contract, Xie Qi promptly married his comatose husband in name only. Determined to earn his keep, he took on the responsibility of caring for his husband while also looking after his parents. He did everything himself and never left the work to anyone else. Everyone around them thought he was madly in love with the comatose man, and his mother-in-law was so moved that she raised his monthly allowance to 400,000 yuan. When Xie Qi saw the 400,000 yuan land in his account, he poured his heart out at his husband's bedside that very day. “Honey, I love you so much.” As soon as the words left his mouth, his eyes met Qin Yizhi's. Xie Qi: “...” Qin Yizhi: “...” Xie Qi reached out and closed Qin Yizhi's eyes. “Good grief, how can a comatose person open his eyes?” Qin Yizhi: “???” Reading guide: 1.

He's hollow inside. Xie Mi was the real young master, brought back to the Xie family at seventeen. Before then, he'd been dragged through the mud of a miserable life. Afterward, he had a mansion, luxury cars, and more money than he could spend, but his vicious nature squandered his good fortune and made his parents, older brother, and younger brother despise him. Everyone who knew about his sordid past was certain that sooner or later, he'd be thrown out of the Xie family. When that happened, he'd be better off dead. But at some point, Xie Mi suddenly changed. He stopped making a scene and using exaggerated, cutting remarks to get his family's attention. He stopped verbally attacking his adopted older brother, who still lived at home, and stopped leading his younger brother astray. He stopped racing cars, distanced himself from his lowlife friends, gave up smoking and drinking, dyed his hair black again, picked up his books, and started taking his studies seriously. Everyone told him, “Xie Mi, stop pretending. We know exactly what kind of person you are.” Xie Mi only smiled and said nothing. His parents, older brother, and younger brother all refused to believe him. They sneered at him and watched coldly as he kept up his act day after day. Only after Xie Mi got into a good university and became more and more outstanding, more and more dazzling, did they realize they had been wrong. Xie Mi really had changed. * Xie Mi had a secret: he had been reborn. In his previous life, his family had finally had enough and taken away his mansion, luxury cars, and money, exiling him to a remote little city. He'd briefly experienced heaven, then spent decades struggling in the mire of the mortal world. He learned discipline, restraint, and everything a life of poverty could teach him. After being reborn, he no longer sought attention or love. Like a craftsman, he was willing to spend ten years refining himself into a masterpiece. But once he stopped seeking them out, everyone who had hated him in his previous life came rushing back. They desperately longed for even the slightest bit of his attention. Even Pei Yunshen, the mysterious man he'd never interacted with in his previous life, discreetly offered him a ticket to the opera. Reading guide: 1. Bottom-focused, featuring a composed bottom who tells deadpan jokes to amuse people, paired with a steady, powerful top. 2. A touch of narcissism: the bottom is deeply self-absorbed, his own muse, and very composed. 3. From everyone's least favorite to everyone's darling. 4. Please add it to your collection! Here's another upcoming novel: When a College Graduate Village Official Transmigrates Into a Melodramatic Novel Blurb: Gao Ning came from a family of civil-service exam takers, and he himself had become a proud college graduate village official. After reading a harem-style BL novel where everyone fought over one love interest and forced love was the theme, he got so angry his face turned red. The whole book was a ridiculous mess of “you run, I chase,” with lovers dying for each other while the country fell apart, the people were displaced, and lives were ruined. Gao Ning couldn't see any tragic, glorious romance in it. All he saw was ordinary people suffering because a bunch of love-addled fools had destroyed their peaceful lives. Then he woke up as a fake eunuch in the service of the villainous tyrant from the novel. The fake eunuch was a minor cannon-fodder character who would soon be beaten to death once his identity was exposed. To stay alive under the feudal system, Gao Ning did his best to avoid the plot and used his connections to get into the Eastern Depot, hoping to serve the people in his new position. One day, while traveling to help alleviate poverty, he found an injured man. He cared for him until he recovered, then quietly took his leave. Only when the tyrant summoned him did he learn that the man he'd saved was the tyrant himself. Perhaps because Gao Ning had saved his life, the tyrant repaid him by forcing himself on him and taking him by force. Unlike the bottom from the original novel, who was devastated and helpless when subjected to forced love, Gao Ning felt his sense of duty kick into overdrive. “Woohoo! Win over the top leader and get a painless ticket out of this life!” Gao Ning: “Your Majesty, please listen to my poverty-alleviation plan (not really).” The tyrant: “?” After that... “Your Majesty, increase the disaster relief funds, and I'll kiss you.” “Grand Tutor, your loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon. Your Majesty, let him out of prison, and I'll strip for you right away.” “If Your Majesty can resolve the floods in Yuzhou within three months, I'll have the bed ready and welcome you tonight!” In the end, the tyrant became a wise ruler. “...” Something feels off. Gao Ning, firmly committed to his poverty-alleviation mission: “Sure, I lose my freedom, but the people gain a peaceful, prosperous life in a golden age!!” A passionate, energetic college-graduate village official as the bottom × a domineering tyrant who likes to force his way in but is actually quite purehearted as the top Theme: Spreading love and justice
