What Do I Do with This Clingy Little Thing?

= New novel: "You Have a Problem with My Slacker Persona?" See below for the blurb =

He Yan never imagined that a car accident would send him, a man worth billions, to a world among the stars, where he became a poor, penniless, useless female insect (actually a male insect).

Just when he finally manages to solve his food and housing problems, he accidentally picks up a pretty female insect with a few screws loose in his head, who wants to cuddle with him all day long.

A relationship with a guy?

Sorry, he declines.

But the more He Yan refuses, the closer the pretty insect sticks to him.

His daily routine includes carrying He Yan in his arms like a princess, sticking to him like they're joined at the hip, and asking for kisses as rewards. He also helps He Yan take down bullies, tears mechs apart with his bare hands, and even shamelessly says he wants to give He Yan ten little insect babies.

He Yan: ?

He Yan: I'm a female insect too. We can't be together.

The pretty insect is heartbroken and leaves home with the mech He Yan just built.

Following the clues the pretty insect left behind, He Yan searches for him, but still can't find a trace of the clingy pest.

That is, until he sees the clingy pest returning in triumph on a StarNet livestream: Mill, heir to the insect throne and the military's only strongest warrior with 3S-level psychic power.

During the broadcast, a reporter asks Mill, "What is your ideal male partner like?"

Mill pats the mech beside him, the one that has been through life and death with him, and says proudly, "A male insect who can build this mech."

He Yan: Well, would you look at that? That's the mech he ran off with.

And why is the livestream showing the entrance to his mech workshop in the background?

He Yan opens the door in surprise and is met with a familiar, clingy embrace.

Mill: "He Yan, will you be my male partner?"

PS: The gong is a male insect who was misdiagnosed as a female insect. At first, he also thought he was a female insect.

Bonus scene:

He Yan mysteriously leads Mill into a room, draws the curtains, and turns off the lights.

The unusual behavior gets Mill excited. Has He Yan finally caught on? Can they finally get down to business?

Then He Yan takes out a cylindrical object.

Mill: Starting off this wild? Well, I suppose I don't mind.

But He Yan presses a switch, and a beam of light shines out of the cylinder.

He Yan: "Look, it's a Force Sword. Isn't it cool?"

Mill: Let the world end. I'm running away from home.

Blurb for the new novel "You Have a Problem with My Slacker Persona?"

After defeating the last Zombie King, Qin Han transmigrates.

Perhaps because he saved the world in his previous life, in this life he ends up in a peaceful world as an obscure boy-band idol.

Qin Han is quite pleased with this.

In peacetime, you should enjoy life. Who wants to be a savior or a celebrity? Let someone else do it.

Just as he's about to lie flat and enjoy life as a slacker, his company plans to pack him off to an undeveloped deserted island to take part in a new survival-in-the-wilderness dating show.

Qin Han: "... I'm out."

Manager: "Sure. Please transfer the penalty fee to the company's account."

Qin Han: ...

He checks his bank balance, silently shoulders his pack, and sends himself off to the island.

Survive in the wilderness? That's right up his alley!

And so, while all the other guests are reading the instructions to set up their tents, a sturdy treehouse is already built on a branch.

While everyone else is trying to figure out which mushrooms are edible and which are poisonous, a pot of fragrant fish soup is already bubbling away.

The guests, production crew, and audience: ...

Qin Han looks at the stunned guests and urges them, "Hurry up. If you like someone, don't hesitate."

Don't get in the way of me going back to being a slacker.

Comments: ... Are dating shows this competitive now?

Later, Qin Han realizes that the aloof movie star Jian Yu keeps hanging around him, whether it's to borrow his treehouse or share his grilled fish and wild vegetable and mushroom soup. He's practically a slacker himself.

Qin Han looks at Jian Yu, whose cheeks are stuffed with food: ...

Jian Yu looks back, leans close to his ear, and asks softly, his gaze suggestive, "What? Do you have a problem with my slacker persona?"

Qin Han: So, which one of us is the slacker?

Comments: Aaaaaah~~~ I'm shipping them!

Upcoming novel: "After Transmigrating, I Made My Disciple Famous"

Ye Qiuchen, the renowned number-one swordsman under heaven, is tired of the endless feuds of the martial world and plans to bury his sword and retire.

But just as he seals his treasured sword beneath a lake, a strange heavenly phenomenon transports him to modern society.

To make ends meet, he has to pick up his sword again and become a... stunt double.

Thanks to his excellent skills, he becomes a regular stunt double and martial arts instructor for wuxia and xianxia productions.

Many famous entertainers offer him huge sums to become their personal stunt double.

And because of his good looks, countless talent scouts and agencies want to sign him, saying that if he agrees, he'll definitely become a top-tier star.

He politely turns down every offer and leads an unusual retired life, clocking in on time, collecting his lunch box, and finishing work at the proper hour.

That is, until he meets Shen Xiaxing on set, a cheerful person on the surface who actually cries easily.

His heart softens for a moment, and he takes Shen Xiaxing as his disciple.

After that, everything changes.

Not only does he become a huge star, he also gains countless fans.

What he finds hardest to understand is that these fans want to ship him and his disciple, Shen Xiaxing, for life!

Ye Qiuchen: Why?

Isn't it just a master-disciple romance?

Is that really necessary?

*

Shen Xiaxing's boy band made its debut as a flop. Thanks to bad luck, the first drama he appeared in was a disaster.

As the second male lead, he was also bashed for a long time.

Since being infamous is still being famous, his company decided to roll with it and signed him up for a string of online comedies.

A year later, he finally gets his chance to turn things around: a comedic supporting role, the fifth male lead, in a xianxia drama adapted from a major IP.

By coincidence, the first, third, and fourth male leads are his former bandmates.

They look down on him and trip him up, both on set and off.

Shen Xiaxing acts as if he doesn't care, then turns around and complains to his master, Ye Qiuchen. He plans to get Ye Qiuchen to teach him more impressive sword techniques so he can amaze everyone in the show.

Shen Xiaxing: Master, they're picking on me.

Ye Qiuchen, who has already agreed to play the villain, wears an elaborate black robe and holds a sword gleaming with cold light, transforming into a demon god who has returned from the abyss. "Wait here. Your master will avenge you."

Shen Xiaxing: "... Uh, Master, that's not what I meant."

After filming wraps, the trailer comes out, and Ye Qiuchen, the second male lead, astonishes everyone. His popularity far outstrips the first male lead's, and just a few shots are enough to make him everyone's favorite dark character.

Ye Qiuchen's new fans: Aaaaaah, what kind of celestial being is this? He's the demon god himself!

After the show airs, more and more behind-the-scenes clips are released. Sharp-eyed fans notice that the demon god is cold not only in the show, but off set as well. The only person who can make Ye Qiuchen's gaze turn warm is Shen Xiaxing, the fifth male lead, whose performance in the show is outstanding.

All the fans: Aaaaaah, I'm shipping them!

Bonus scene:

A behind-the-scenes audio clip is released

Ye Qiuchen: Spread your feet. A little wider.

Shen Xiaxing: Sob, sob, Master, it hurts so much. I can't do it anymore.

All the fans: ?

All the fans: Aaaaaah, what did we just hear? Is this something we're allowed to listen to for free?

Shen Xiaxing explains afterward: Master was teaching me how to do a horse stance.

During one of Shen Xiaxing's livestreams, Ye Qiuchen asks without thinking, "Do your legs still hurt?" His voice is full of tenderness.

Shen Xiaxing's earlobes turn red. "N-No, they don't hurt anymore."

Fans in the livestream: Don't tell us this time it was from practicing your horse stance too!
