A Socially Anxious Person Falls in Love with a Fictional Character

Blurb: An Jing is the hugely popular author "Yan Nian," with tens of millions of fans. In real life, though, he is socially anxious and timid, and his quiet, reserved nature makes him unpopular. But An Jing is perfectly happy being ostracized: Of course someone who's in love with fictional characters wants to spend their whole life with one! Since he's hopeless at romance, he decides to practice by writing an ancient-style boys' love story about having children. He settles on the love interest's character profile: Yan Qili: 26 years old, 192 cm tall, eight-pack abs and a waist like a stud horse, a cold-hearted, stone-faced death god on the battlefield. That night, a handsome man claiming to be Yan Qili appears in An Jing's home. An Jing: ?? Did a fictional character just come out of the book? Yan Qili transmigrates into the modern world and learns that he is the powerful, tragic love interest in a boys' love story about having children. He suffers betrayal and loses his family, then later indulges the man he loves without limit. The death god who crawled out of a mountain of corpses: Hah. Fall in love? Not a chance. A flash of cold steel, and the heavy sword in his hand presses against An Jing's neck. His voice is cold and dangerous: Did you make me this way? An Jing is terrified, his voice trembling: I-I'm sorry... QAQ Under threat of the heavy sword, An Jing temporarily takes Yan Qili in and promises him: This isn't a boys' love story. You won't end up with a husband! Some time later, Yan Qili, plucked straight out of a book, has the fictional-character lover completely smitten. An Jing's resolve crumbles: It won't hurt to feel those abs, right? An Jing is an oddball in his classmates' eyes: Ugly, with his hair covering half his face because he doesn't dare show it A loser, a graduate of a prestigious university who couldn't get an offer from a major tech company and has to stay home feeling sorry for himself Poor, socially inept... Whenever they talk about the dull, taciturn An Jing, all his classmates look down on him: Even the weeds by the road are more likable than he is. Later, "Yan Nian," who has held the number one spot on the Richest Authors list for years, makes his first public appearance at a fan signing.

Blurb: At seventeen, Yan Sang wins countless awards and joins the national team, hailed as the brightest rising star in the world of dance. At twenty, Ji Yanshen is an academically gifted student at Ming University, from a family so poor he qualifies for special assistance. His clothes are washed pale, but his back is straight as a bamboo stalk. They fall in love in the height of summer. They kiss in their stuffy dorm room and share the same popsicle. One summer of cicadas later, Yan Sang leaves without a word. He vanishes from the public eye, becoming the eternal white moonlight in his fans' hearts. When they meet again, Yan Sang is a masked dance-video creator with painfully few followers. The poor student who couldn't afford a plane ticket has become President Ji, worth billions and fawned over by countless people. Facing Ji Yanshen, surrounded by admirers and stern-faced, the first thing Yan Sang says is: "Ji Yanshen, long time no see." The second is: "Kiss me." Tech-industry up-and-comer Ji Yanshen is ruthless and calculating. They say a heartbreak in his youth left him cold and hard-hearted, immune to love. When Yan Sang wraps his arms around Ji Yanshen, everyone present holds their breath and mourns for him: Being banned is the best this little creator can hope for. In full view of everyone, Ji Yanshen not only doesn't push away the person clinging to him, he wraps an arm around his slender waist. Everyone: ??? Inside the presidential suite, Ji Yanshen looks at Yan Sang, crying on the bed, his voice gentle and dangerous: "I wanted to let you go." "Yan Sang, you brought this on yourself." Yan Sang, his collarbones covered in bite marks and his eyes brimming with tears, says: "Ji Yanshen, I just wanted to change to a position that wouldn't make my back ache." President Ji: ...All right. Yan Sang's career takes off too quickly, and his rival spreads rumors about him: He never shows his face because he's ugly, he's kept by a sugar daddy, and his dancing is just flailing around. Curious netizens flood Yan Sang's livestream, then: ???? That face could beat every top-tier star, and you call him ugly? Does the dance world eat this well? The dance community, hearing the news: Holy crap, isn't that our Yan Yan?!! I was on my deathbed and sat bolt upright. Is my white moonlight back? Yan Yan's dancing is just flailing? That's hilarious. Are you questioning the national team's standards? As for the claims that he's being kept by a rich man, President Ji appears in the livestream: My first love. I'm the one pursuing him. Ji Yanshen spends eight years unable to leave behind that summer filled with the scent of mint. That summer of being twenty, poor and helpless, and careful in everything he did. Theme: A blessing in disguise.
