As a Socially Anxious Person, I'm Happy Even to Be Sealed Away

Qian Xiao is the only evil god in the world, so getting sealed away is practically an everyday occurrence for him.

Once he’s sealed, he might as well lie flat. He doesn’t want to see those people outside anyway, and he’s perfectly happy relaxing inside the magic formation.

Still, his followers’ wishes need to be taken care of. Before long, he receives another supremely devout summoning.

Sigh, fine. I’ll get back to being a shut-in after I finish this job!

New novels now open

Pure-love, shou-perspective transmigration into a book cultivation novel: Mistaken for the Protagonist by the Entire Cultivation World

Five years after Miu Qian (qián) bound himself to the System, he finally reached an important plot point.

Ever since transmigrating into a face-slapping side character in an anti-cliché novel, he’d rehearsed this scene countless times. To nail the classic scene where “the former prodigy falls from grace and is publicly dumped by his fiancee,” he’d even had the System find clips from all sorts of works for him to practice with.

But instead of laughing at him, everyone present treated him with the utmost respect, as if they were looking at some extraordinary big shot.

How strange. This character really did leave the story after this face-slapping scene. And it wasn’t someone else who got slapped in the face, but him, the one whose engagement was being broken off.

Only then did the System tell him that this world had basically been overrun by transmigrators and awakened people. But Miu Qian was the only one who knew the original story in its entirety.

“So they think I’m the protagonist of one of those ‘Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west’ engagement-breaking-off novels?” Miu Qian hadn’t expected them to assume the story followed a formula after transmigrating into an anti-cliché novel.

From then on, people seemed to think Miu Qian was the true protagonist of this world, an underdog who hid his strength and a domineering, leveling-up hero. They even came up with expert-level interpretations of his seemingly carefree life of eating, drinking, and having fun.

What they didn’t know was that while they used their limited mind-reading golden fingers to read Miu Qian’s thoughts and “glimpse the world’s essence and future developments,” their own thoughts were being laid bare to him without reservation.

Though both were mind-reading abilities, there was a world of difference between an ordinary golden finger and one specially provided by the System.

And so Miu Qian and the System watched everyone around them build up elaborate delusions.

Seme’s perspective:

Jie Mo Long (me, máng/méng) realized that something was off in the cultivation world lately. How had a boy stuck at the Qi Refining stage become the object of every major sect’s flattery?

No, he had to go take a look. Otherwise, he might get outshone.

Jie Mo Long had been a competitive try-hard since childhood. With the intention of “scouting the competition,” he took on his beast-form and approached Miu Qian.

The “domineering protagonist” stared at the super-fluffy, long-haired dog and looked confused.

And Jie Mo Long learned the secret that could make the entire cultivation world “explode”: the System.

But he had no idea how shocking the System’s existence was. He was a native who couldn’t keep up with the times, neither awakened nor transmigrated.

Jie Mo Long, times have changed.

However, under his threats and bribes, the System abandoned its professional ethics and tearfully bound itself to a second Host.

“Domineering protagonist,” huh? He’d show the whole world that he, Jie Mo Long, would be the first to ascend in this lifetime!

No-CP male-lead otherworldly business novel: Before Going into the Dungeon, Are You Sure You Don’t Want to Bring Anything Else?

Every day, adventuring parties descend into the dungeon. Some return with a rich haul; others meet their end there.

But no matter what awaits them, before entering the dungeon, each team packs its bags, full of confidence.

The supplies for the journey, the weapons and equipment for fighting monsters, and even the magic don’t just fall from the sky.

So, before you head into the dungeon, are you sure you don’t want to pick up anything else from the little shop at the entrance?

Ah, the day’s adventure is over. You can sell the loot you brought back, too.

Mm-hm, all the adventurers have gone home... You’re asking if the shop is closing?

Of course not. The monsters are just about to come up here to restock and repair the floor tiles and treasure chests.

Danmei, seme-perspective entertainment-industry novel: The Sugar You’re Shipping Is Fake

Tang Zhang (zhāng) is a popular actor who’s been in the industry for five years and secretly married for two. One day, he discovers that fan edits shipping him with someone have gone viral on a video site. Then he realizes the other person is his rival in love?!

No way. The last bit of pride a married man has is that he can’t be shipped with someone who’s always trying to steal his partner. Not even a crack ship is acceptable!

So Tang Zhang, who’d rarely been dealt a harsh blow by society, came up with a bad idea: secretly promote a ship between himself and his partner outside the industry, using the official pairing to drive away the heretical ship!

Ping Zhen was an artist in a niche corner of the internet, still stuck on a 2G connection. Recently, his celebrity partner, who was always coming up with “sudden inspirations,” had been getting him onto the trending lists.

“Zhenzhen, you’re holding an art exhibition? I’ll go with you.”

“Zhenzhen, you’re releasing an art book? I’ll handle the promotion!”

“This variety show needs an excellent artist like you, Zhenzhen. Can’t you really come on with me?”

You can’t exactly say no to a big puppy gazing up at you with round eyes and begging, can you?

Everything was going according to plan...

But his rival, Du Huan, was awful and insisted on going against him. He’d ridden Tang Zhang’s coattails onto the trending lists several times and even gained a new wave of fans shipping him with Tang Zhang’s wife. How brazen!

And after Tang Zhang deliberately failed to avoid Du Huan, the shippers somehow got even more enthusiastic?

I said it’s fake sugar! Don’t you listen to what the celebrities themselves say?

That popular ship is fake. They’re rivals in love!

Little scene:

Ping Zhen, who knew nothing about the ships people were talking about online, looked at Tang Zhang scrolling through ship hashtags. “I think you’ve been acting a little strange lately.”

Tang Zhang, who’d been comparing the stats of the two ship hashtags, hurriedly hid his phone. “Have I? Zhenzhen, you’ve been working so hard lately that you must be imagining things. Why don’t I take you somewhere to get some proper rest?”

“Are you...” Ping Zhen leaned closer, staring into his eyes as he enunciated each word. “Addicted to your phone?”

Treasure your life. Ship responsibly.
