Male-Lead-Focused Anthology

This novel is updated daily. Please add my upcoming novel in the same genre, Main Pursuer Anthology 2.0, to your collection!

In the worlds of novels, there are always people who diligently follow the plot, advancing both their career and romance arcs. But there is also a group of pursuers who break away from the main storyline and send the plot spiraling into utter chaos.

Because they are hopeless romantics.

Nobody thinks much of hopeless romantics. The System has classified them as SSSR-difficulty candidates.

After all:

"The wise do not fall in love."

"Hopeless romantics never get a happy ending."

And yet, this group of pursuers joins hands with the protagonists they pursue and reaches the peak of the world in ways that leave everyone dumbfounded.

Because everyone forgot one thing: hopeless romanticism is contagious.

First Arc: Political Intrigue [Complete and ready to read]

A scheming pursuer with intermittent frailty (ahem) VS a cold-faced but warm-hearted, tsundere young general who is pursued

Shen Huai transmigrates into a book. As a remnant of the Shen clan, he is in hell mode from the start.

Burdened by a blood feud, he struggles to survive, constantly teetering on the brink of turning evil.

But on the run, he meets someone.

The young general is his cure, and his whole world.

Second Arc: Villain [Complete and ready to read]

A little-sunshine pursuer who saves the world VS a sinister, white-haired eunuch beauty who is pursued

Xiao Gang accepts the System's invitation to win over Lian Yun, the biggest villain in the book.

The villain is a eunuch: cold and sinister, he wields enormous power and can make people vanish with a mere frown.

Xiao Gang is the most inconspicuous, laid-back prince around. He's not very bright and doesn't even come close to qualifying for the succession struggle. Everyone assumes Lian Yun will dispose of him without mercy.

But what nobody knows is that, beneath the bed curtains, Xiao Gang's eyes grow red as he cries out again and again:

"Lian Yun, I love you..."

Third Arc: Merfolk [Complete and ready to read]

A ridiculous merfolk pursuer with a terrible singing voice and a gorgeous face VS an unflappable prince who dutifully applauds

Yan Hui transmigrates into a merfolk novel and becomes a beautiful, angelic-looking background mermaid. Before he can even settle into merfolk society, he is sold for a fortune to entertain the emperor.

He expects to enjoy a life of luxury, but the emperor dislikes his awful singing and passes him on to his least-favorite younger brother.

Yan Hui: ...

Faced with Yan Hui, bound hand and foot, Prince Yan Xu Mo's gaze shifts. He merely orders his men to untie him and doesn't lay a finger on him.

Unable to stand the tedium any longer, Yan Hui finally gets up and knocks on Prince Yan's study door.

"This concubine will sing you a song."

The prince sets down his papers and glances up lazily. "This time, will it be 'Rose Waiting for Love' or 'Drunken Butterfly'?"

Fourth Arc: Goddess [Complete]

A goddess with negative combat strength who pursues VS a wicked, black-hearted beauty with off-the-charts fighting ability who is pursued

After transmigrating into a primordial fantasy novel, Dan Tu becomes the only male goddess in the Three Realms.

The goddess blesses all living things. The goddess guides souls to the afterlife. The goddess... can't even catch a chicken.

The Three Realms are in chaos. Two little demons clash, and the goddess, passing by three miles away, is knocked unconscious.

After waking up, Dan Tu decides things can't go on like this. He resolves to gather a group of powerful teammates to protect him.

After randomly inviting some passerby, the supreme demon lord of the Three Realms, Bo Run, licks his lips and grins excitedly. "All right. What's our slogan?"

"Defeat the Demon Lord! Bring peace back to the Three Realms!"

"Got it."

Demon Lord Bo Run nods, his blood-red eyes narrowing to slits :)

The pursued spoils the pursuer, the pursuer spoils the pursued, and they spoil each other.

Fifth Arc: Steampunk [Ongoing]

Reading Guide:

1. At its core, this is a one-on-one story where the pursuer and the pursued spoil each other. The protagonists mindlessly fall in love and stir up trouble, with both sides feeling the same way: you love me, and I love you.

2. Most likely set in ancient times. The blurb is updated from time to time, and the settings are occasionally tweaked.

3. The author doesn't take sides. I'm writing what I want to read. If this novel isn't for you, feel free to close it. See you in the next one.

Main Pursuer Story 2.0: Fantasy setting / anthology with pursuers as protagonists / overpowered pursuers / one-on-one

In an ordinary world, there is a group of exceptionally gifted people who keep their abilities hidden. They have brilliant minds, tremendous combat ability, and looks that rank among the best in the world. Yet they stay under the radar, doing ordinary jobs day after day and contributing only a tiny amount of value to society.

Until one day, they encounter the System...

And so, a group of SSSR-level workers in obscure occupations appears in this world.

*My definition of obscure work: rare occupations with an extremely high level of danger.
