Novel blurb

Chu Wenchao transmigrated into a book, landing in the role of the devoted second male lead in a regretful-chase novel. He always appeared when the male lead was heartbroken and dejected, humiliated and slapped in the face by the main love interest's admirers, or taken by force and then casually discarded by the main love interest. Like a god descending from heaven, he rescued him from danger every time.

Unfortunately, this was a scum-gong, lowly-shou story. The main love interest abused him a thousand times, yet he still treated him like his first love. The second male lead existed only as a stepping stone and a catalyst for the couple's relationship.

When Chu Wenchao thought of how, later in the story, the second male lead would donate a kidney and bone marrow for the main love interest, risk his life, and nearly die, only to receive the words, "You're a good person, but we're true love," he immediately packed up and prepared to run.

*

He never managed to escape. Instead, he accidentally drank the main love interest's spiked wine and, in a daze, hooked up with a super handsome guy at the banquet.

Early the next morning, Chu Wenchao held his aching lower back, nearly broken in two. The six-foot-two man before him had red eyes and was timidly tugging at his sleeve, refusing to let go. Chu Wenchao solemnly promised, "I'll take responsibility for you!"

Who could have known the man had a dual personality, switching between day and night? Once Chu Wenchao took responsibility for him, he tearfully began living a blissfully miserable life.

At night: "Darling, is this okay?"

By day: "Waaah, Wenchao, my mouth really hurts. A kiss from you is the only thing that'll make it better."

Later, Chu Wenchao accidentally learned that his boyfriend was the deranged villain in the script, dedicated to leaving the protagonists with nothing but the title of the book.

Chu Wenchao rubbed his slightly rounded belly. Well, time to run again!

Feng Xiujing returned with a custom-made diamond engagement ring, only to find a note in the villa.

I'm pregnant, so I left. Don't look for me. (Chu Wenchao left this at 520, XX Jiayuan. Do not look for me!)

All of Feng Xiujing's anger turned to helplessness. What was the point of role-playing a runaway pregnant person every few days? If Chu Wenchao had the guts, he should really have a baby!

Later, Feng Xiujing held the tiny baby, and his whole worldview collapsed. Well, apparently anyone could give birth.

A shou with an unconventional thought process #A gong who's not right in the head

P.S. The gong's split personality is cured later!

Want-to-read blurb 1: "After Going on a Dating Show with My Archrival, I Can't Get Divorced"

Lin Musheng woke up one morning and discovered he had transmigrated. At that very moment, he was lying in the arms of his archrival, Ye Tingzhou, whose possessive arm was wrapped around his waist. A giant close-up photo of the two of them hung on the wall.

Oh, and Ye Tingzhou had a neat bite mark on his handsome chin.

Lin Musheng's little heart was rocked to its core. Was this dog of a man really the award-winning actor who had stolen his endorsements, poached his opportunities, and competed with him over who looked more handsome on every red carpet, always trying to outshine him?

Lin Musheng: Damn, I must still be asleep.

"Sweetheart, sleepyhead, time to get up."

Lin Musheng opened his eyes at the sound of that deep, magnetic voice. This was hilarious. That dog of a man was about to kiss him!

Then he learned that the two of them had signed a dating show contract a month ago, and today was their first day on set...

Lin Musheng: "Divorce. We have to get divorced!"

Ye Tingzhou: "Sweetheart, it's my fault for making you unhappy. You can do whatever you want, just please don't say those two words, okay?"

Help! Was this puppy really his cold, glamorous, and highborn archrival?

Then he learned the penalty for breaking the contract was nine digits...

Nine digits. Lin Musheng vaguely remembered that he had worked hard for a whole year just to earn ten million.

Lin Musheng: Ah, well, never mind then. It's just pretending to be in love on a show. I can do that!

*

Everyone knew that the marriage between Lin Musheng and Ye Tingzhou was a deal in which each got what he wanted. When they heard the two would appear together on a dating show, everyone waited for a laugh.

Viewers: "Heh, I want to see what new tricks Lin Musheng comes up with to ride our brother's coattails."

People in the industry: "Could something have happened to the Ye Group? Are the couple appearing together to rake in money?"

After the show aired:

Viewers: "Aaaah, Lin is killing me! He's so handsome and charming. He and our Ye look perfect together. Stay together forever! I swallowed the key."

People in the industry: "Help, Ye Tingzhou, you manipulative, tea-scented flirt! No wonder you have such a wonderful wife!"

Lin Musheng: "Wasn't I supposed to get divorced after the show ended? How did we actually fall in love?"

Want-to-read blurb 2: "Why Hasn't My Sickly Handsome Husband Died Yet?"

Lu Congzhou transmigrated into a cannon-fodder husband in a marriage-for-good-luck novel. His family's business was on the verge of bankruptcy, and his awful father married him off to the story's villain to secure fifty million in working capital.

The villain was not only terminally ill, but also had a strange, gloomy, and cruel temperament. He was known throughout the industry as the "Tyrant."

That wasn't all. His purpose in the story was to serve as a contrast to the main love interest. He was an incompetent, universally disliked, bottom-of-the-barrel celebrity who loved riding the main love interest's coattails.

The main love interest, on the other hand, was everyone's beloved, a cute top-tier star who became famous as soon as he debuted, and the secret crush of the main lead, who openly and subtly pursued him.

Lu Congzhou repeatedly tripped up the main love interest, only to be slapped in the face time and again and suffer plenty of hardship. After the main lead died, Lu Congzhou lost the only leverage that made people wary of him. He was framed and disfigured, forced to leave the entertainment industry, and written out of the story.

Lu Congzhou understood now. He was struggling in a bottomless mire, and the only lifeline he could grasp was Huo Beichuan.

The first step in saving himself: keep Huo Beichuan alive.

Beneath flowering branches, Lu Congzhou saw Huo Beichuan for the first time. He was leaning back in a rocking chair, turning a piece of jade green all the way through in his hand. Although it was July, a thin blanket covered his legs. From afar, he looked cool, handsome, and frail, so pitiful that Lu Congzhou's breath caught.

Tsk. Actually, he wasn't that unwilling. If he'd known it was a beauty, no, a patient, he would have said so sooner.

*

At first, Huo Beichuan hadn't wanted to marry the wife his grandfather had forced on him. He had only three months left to live and didn't want to ruin someone else's life. But later, that person clumsily made medicinal meals for him, secretly warmed his bed, did everything he could to treat his illness, and innocently kissed and cuddled with him. Suddenly, Huo Beichuan wanted to live a little longer, and then a little longer still. His darling was sweet, obedient, and innocent. What would he do without Huo Beichuan's protection?

Extra scene

Lu Congzhou stared at the fresh pregnancy test report, lost in thought. He poked Huo Beichuan in the waist and asked blankly, "Weren't you supposed to be dying?"

Huo Beichuan: "Darling, my health is poor, not my performance. You personally fed me tiger penis and deer antler wine, and lamb soup with goji berries. So what if you're pregnant? Anyone can give birth."

"R-really?"

Lu Congzhou felt that something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. Huo Beichuan stayed by his side for one year, two years, then countless more. It took Lu Congzhou that long to realize: wasn't Huo Beichuan supposed to be terminally ill, so Lu Congzhou could inherit his trillion-yuan fortune? How had he ended up healthier than Lu Congzhou?
