After Marrying the Future Villain by Contract [Book Transmigration]

[It's finished! Thank you, everyone! Please support the official release!]

[Bonus chapters are up! I may be fixing typos recently.]

★Part One.

The Counterattack of Love is a melodramatic novel. Its protagonist is the Lu family's long-lost biological son, who endures humiliation and marries a powerful tycoon. After swallowing up the tycoon's assets, he defeats the villainous boss and rises to the top.

Yu Ji transmigrates into the book as the powerful tycoon who marries the protagonist and is so lovesick that the protagonist eventually takes all his assets.

Yu Ji: ...What the hell kind of plot is this?

He looks at the protagonist, forced to marry him and kneeling before him. He has a thousand ways to make sure the man never gets back on his feet, but changes his mind when he sees the familiar face behind the protagonist.

Looking at that face, Yu Ji points at the young man, pleased as can be. "From now on, he's mine."

The next day, City A is in an uproar. Mr. Yu's marriage partner isn't the beloved biological son recently found by the Lu family, but Lu Zecheng, the illegitimate son the family neglected since childhood.

Everyone says Lu Zecheng has landed himself a wealthy patron. Only he knows that when that gentleman looks at him, he sees someone else reflected in his eyes.

★Part Two.

In his previous life, even with a business empire, Yu Ji worked himself to death. After transmigrating into a book and becoming rich again, he only wants to treat work as a pastime.

A marriage of convenience keeps the original owner's many admirers at bay and gets him a loyal employee for free. It's a worry-free, no-cost deal with nothing to lose.

In the first year of marriage, Lu Zecheng wants to work at Yu Ji's company. Looking at his face, Yu Ji nods. "You know how to share the housework. Go ahead and give it a try."

In the second year, Lu Zecheng snatches up a plot of land the protagonist urgently needs. Yu Ji claps in surprise. "Well done. You're making great progress."

In the third year, Lu Zecheng wipes out the protagonist's entire family. Yu Ji praises him with satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. You've got my flair."

By their nth year of marriage, Lu Zecheng is worth over a hundred million, and his cold, aloof face is printed all over Forbes magazine.

His employee is becoming more and more satisfactory, but Yu Ji has a vague feeling that something is wrong.

For instance, an employee who talked to him a little too much was transferred away. The tea house he liked was bought out. The sapphire he'd admired on an auction list the day before was cut into a ring and slipped onto his finger the next day. And when he opens his eyes, the person beside him is still kissing his fingertips with unwavering devotion.

The culprit is obvious. Yu Ji fixes his gaze on Lu Zecheng. "You've overstepped. Hurry up and move out so we can each go our own way."

Instead, the man across from him pins him against the headboard. The lurking beast bares its fangs, yet his voice is as gentle as ever.

"Do you not like this face anymore? Have you grown tired of me?"

Yu Ji: =.=

Yu Ji: "Enough, Lu Cheng. Quit fucking pretending."

A former big shot who just wants to enjoy life, the shou x a patient, obsessive current big shot, the gong

Reader's Guide:

1. Both gong and shou transmigrate into a book. Lu Zecheng = Lu Cheng. He's been the same person all along.

2. It may be complicated to explain, so to be clear: Lu Zecheng = Lu Cheng. They're the same person, but you can understand it as him not having his "past-life" memories yet.

3. A pampered big-shot shou x a gong who's a loyal dog on the surface but extremely possessive underneath. Both are strong, but the gong is more of a loyal dog at the start.

4. In the first half, the shou is stronger than the gong and protects him. Later, when the gong regains his memories, he becomes more calculating (not).

So This Is What You Call Weak?! [Book Transmigration]

In his previous life, Ning An was a researcher studying mutants in the apocalypse. After developing an immune serum that could save humanity, he was killed.

When he opens his eyes again, he's become a clingy, inconsequential character in a space-opera novel, one who sucks up to the powerful and will be reviled by everyone and hacked to pieces by the villain.

Ning An is speechless. "You make me transmigrate, and this is what you give me? Is this for real?"

The System says the good news is that his partner is the strongest fighter in the entire novel, the only person capable of standing up to the villain.

Ning An nods. "Right, right. There's always an antidote within three steps."

The bad news is that he confessed to his partner's political enemy and stole intelligence, and now the big shot is about to divorce him.

Ning An: "That's not right."

How can he avoid his fate as a disposable character?

Answer: Make a good impression on his powerful partner and show off his value in every way.

For instance, if his partner's special ability is about to collapse, develop a specialized immune treatment for him.

If his partner's army is short on funds, research different medicines for the imperial market, each one worth tens of millions of star coins.

If his partner is constrained by the nobility, strike deals with the powerful and give him a solid support system.

If the plot has his partner ambushed on an expedition, establish a mercenary corps of his own, ready to help his partner fight at a moment's notice.

Before long, Ning An's name is known throughout the Empire. He's a professor who developed many medicines to counter mutant infection and saved countless lives.

Beyond the Empire, Ning An's name is known as that of a mercenary leader who does good without seeking recognition. Every space pirate he has helped would go through fire and water for him.

At last, Ning An can hold his head high. He asks the big shot, "So, did I make you proud?"

The big shot: "You certainly did. But what part did I play in all this?"

Ning An, gravely: "You know I'm just a delicate academic."

Ning An, indignantly: "I'm so weak and helpless, utterly incapable of fighting the evil villain!"

Ning An, choking back tears: "Darling, how could I possibly live without your protection?"

The big shot: ...

The big shot looks at the fleet of starships behind his partner, then at the love letter the villain sent him, and falls into deep thought.

#Honey, is this what you call weak?#

#Not as advertised, TD#

An energetic genius researcher shou x the strongest general in space, gong

1. Both are strong, but most of the story is about the shou building his career and figuring out how to save the gong.

2. The gong is incredibly strong, but has high moral standards, so he's constrained at every turn.

3. Both are straightforward, and their relationship develops naturally without any angst or push and pull.

4. The shou is adored by everyone!

I'm still writing the draft, so the title and blurb may change.
