The moment university entrance exam candidate Jiang Zhixian walked out of the exam hall, he stepped into an infinite-flow game dungeon. In this world of endless games, every player's mission was to solve the puzzles and survive to the end.

From the depths of rainy, foggy London came a baby's shrill laughter. A beautifully dressed doll-woman danced gracefully onstage. In the endless deep sea, a small shark-fishing boat drifted alone, while an enormous dark shadow moved beneath the water...

Jiang Zhixian stayed as cool as a cucumber and decided to solve the puzzles with his own outrageous tricks.

For example: [Ding-dong! Team Captain Jiang Zhixian has spent 100,000 team points to purchase 1,000 greatswords.]

Teammates: ??? What are you doing?

Jiang Zhixian produced 1,000 greatswords and smiled serenely. "Selling swords."

In a dungeon, Jiang Zhixian ran into his archenemy, Ji Xunche. Then he was astonished to discover that Ji Xunche seemed to have lost his memory?!

Jiang Zhixian: I can hardly believe my luck. :D

He went along with it, making up a story about how close they were as brothers to trick Ji Xunche into working for him. He also led Ji Xunche around in circles throughout the dungeon.

But as their games went on, Ji Xunche threw him onto the bed.

Ji Xunche: I think I'm sick. Every time I see you, my heart races and my face turns red.

Jiang Zhixian: ???

Ji Xunche: Have you ever heard of socialist brotherly love?

Jiang Zhixian: ...Bro, I'm begging you to get your memory back.

*

Jiang Zhixian soon became famous in the dungeon world for his outrageous tricks.

Newbie: I heard Senior Jiang Zhixian is really impressive.

Jiang Zhixian's teammate: Oh, absolutely. If you mean at selling swords and running away, that is.

Shen Shiyu transmigrates into a melodramatic angst novel as the delicate, spoiled bottom.

According to the original plot, at first he would relentlessly pursue Fu Jiangxing, the CEO he was set to marry for business reasons. Later, he would fake his death and watch Fu Jiangxing burn with regret.

Shen Shiyu had originally been a strapping man who stood 185 centimeters tall. He had to admit that pretending to be a delicate little thing with a babyish voice was really asking the impossible...

But to keep the original plot on track, he had no choice but to go along with it.

*

Fu Jiangxing furrowed his brows slightly and looked at Shen Shiyu with disdain as he said coldly,

"You want to stay by my side? Take a good look at yourself. Do you think you're worthy?"

Shen Shiyu wore pink eyeshadow to make himself look as if he had been crying. He pinched himself beneath his sleeve until tears came to his eyes, then spoke in a plaintive, high-pitched voice:

"I don't need you to return my feelings, sir. Just being able to watch you quietly is enough."

Seeing Shen Shiyu's tearful, heartbreakingly lovely face, Fu Jiangxing felt a flicker of compassion.

"Go sleep in the guest room. Without my permission, don't come within three meters of me!"

Shen Shiyu: Got it! The first step of my relentless-pursuit mission is complete!

*

Life was great: he had a huge villa to live in and all the free time he wanted. Shen Shiyu only had to act a little spoiled from time to time to maintain his character.

When he pretended to be devoted and made Fu Jiangxing a loving lunch, Shen Shiyu deliberately cut his hand with a kitchen knife. Then, where Fu Jiangxing could hear him, he fake-cried and refused to let the servants bandage it.

"It's all right. For Jiangxing, it's worth it."

Fu Jiangxing: He loves me so much.

When Shen Shiyu pretended to be lovestruck and picked flowers as a gift for Fu Jiangxing, he accidentally twisted his ankle. Fu Jiangxing couldn't bear to see it and tried to help, but Shen Shiyu wiped away his tears, protectively held on to the flowers, and stood up with forced bravery.

"Didn't you say I couldn't come within three meters of you without your permission, sir? It's all right. As long as the flowers are okay."

Fu Jiangxing watched Shen Shiyu limp over and place the flowers on his desk, his eyes red from crying.

...He was starting to regret this.

When the fake-death plot arrived, Shen Shiyu angrily dropped the act, reverted to his manly voice, and fled the villa in the middle of the night.

Shen Shiyu: Fantastic! Bye, scumbag! I'm done playing with you!!!

What he didn't know was that after he left, Fu Jiangxing searched the entire world for him, nearly going mad.

Fu Jiangxing saw Shen Shiyu again in the news, in a headline announcing the winner of a racing competition.

The delicate little thing who used to trail after him like a little shadow, crying all the time, had become a confident, dashing race car driver with a commanding presence.

The joy of getting back what he had lost made Fu Jiangxing want to give Shen Shiyu everything and treat him well.

But what Fu Jiangxing could never have imagined was that when faced with his undisguised, passionate gaze, Shen Shiyu would just as openly take off his mask and reveal his true self.

Shen Shiyu: What are you staring at, you idiot? Get lost.

Fu Jiangxing: ...

Fu Jiangxing: I like him even more. What do I do?

--- Blurb for the upcoming novel He Says I'm a Monster ---

When Lu Jingzhan was ten, his father brought home a boy two years younger than him.

The child was sweet and adorable, always following him around and calling him "Big Brother."

But Lu Jingzhan didn't like him.

Everyone was speculating that Ji Huaian, who had no blood relation to him, was his father's illegitimate son.

That made Lu Jingzhan, who had enjoyed his parents' undivided affection since childhood, extremely unhappy.

Ji Huaian was also bullied and mocked by his classmates for being an illegitimate child.

Whenever it happened, Lu Jingzhan pretended not to see, and Ji Huaian never once asked him for help.

"Young Master Lu, is this guy your little brother or not?"

One day, when Ji Huaian was being bullied again, his classmates gathered around Lu Jingzhan and asked.

Looking into Ji Huaian's lovable, doe-like eyes, Lu Jingzhan replied coldly, "He's not my little brother. He's just a monster."

From that day on, Ji Huaian vanished from his life.

His father kept blaming him for failing to keep an eye on Ji Huaian, which had led to the boy's disappearance.

But Lu Jingzhan had known all along: Ji Huaian was his father's real son, while he was the illegitimate son who had to be kept hidden.

*

Ten years later, Lu Jingzhan and Ji Huaian met again, and ended up in bed that very day.

Ji Huaian reappeared in Lu Jingzhan's life no longer timid and weak as he had been in the past. He had grown into a sexy, mature man.

Not only did he reclaim the Lu family's inheritance, he also claimed Lu Jingzhan as his own, keeping him firmly by his side.

Lu Jingzhan couldn't understand why that was all he wanted.

"Because I'm a monster who belongs to you alone," Ji Huaian said, kissing and biting him fiercely. "You'll never get away from me in this lifetime."
