The Socially Anxious Cannon Fodder Turns Out to Be Irresistible

Breaking news: The story will be completed on July 5. Chapters 27-73. Thanks for your support!

Socially anxious Sang Zhu transmigrates into a book as a disposable playboy. If his cover is blown, he dies, and if he breaks character, he gets punished. His only choice is to nervously juggle four relationships while putting the original owner's dating manual into practice.

At first:

The aloof, solitary genius painter looks down on Sang Zhu. "He's just an ignorant idiot."

The discerning, famous director is ready to humiliate Sang Zhu for his terrible acting. "Surely you can play a corpse, right?"

The pure-hearted, impoverished campus heartthrob thinks Sang Zhu only enjoys keeping him as a pet. "You're trying to catch a rich guy. What does that have to do with me?"

The abstinent top-tier star despises Sang Zhu's behavior. "Stay away from me."

Sang Zhu doesn't care what they think. He tries to shed his playboy persona while raking in a fortune.

But later, the four men gather outside Sang Zhu's home:

The genius painter snaps his favorite brush in two. "Come out. I won't use it to stain you again."

The famous director begs Sang Zhu to act in his movie at any cost, even threatening to kill himself. "My films have no soul without you."

The campus heartthrob's eyes light up when Sang Zhu scolds him. "You look so good when you're mad."

The top-tier star drops to one knee and produces a large red gemstone. "Accept me, and we'll go public right now."

Sang Zhu is at a loss. This is even scarier than being sent to a psychiatric hospital!

He packs his bags and flees in the middle of the night, only to discover the last entry in the dating manual: Stay away from Huo Nianchen! Beware of being crippled!

Wait, isn't Huo Nianchen the insignificant character mentioned just once in the novel, his good roommate who helps him maintain his playboy persona?

Huo Nianchen steps up behind him, firmly yet gently taking the luggage from his hands. His voice is warm and tender. "Sang Sang, what are we having for dinner?"

Sang Zhu panics and falls to the floor. "I..."

Huo Nianchen adjusts his glasses, his long, phoenix-shaped eyes crinkling with a smile. "All right."

Sang Zhu: ?

#So I have a fifth fish?!#

Only then does he realize that the fish have been keeping each other in the loop all along, planning to give him a good scare.

But one after another, they turn against the plan, and even its mastermind changes his mind.

The door opens. Everyone sees Sang Zhu huddled in the corner, eyes red and lips swollen.

Huo Nianchen calmly ties a faded red thread around Sang Zhu's fair ankle. "I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at first."

He turns to the four men at the door. "I'll make them disappear right now."

Sang Zhu: "Can you all disappear?"

The five men shut outside the door: ...

Sang Zhu x Huo Nianchen

Preorder: After Transmigrating Back, My Rival Threatened Me. Come take a look! A sweet showbiz story full of chaos.

Blurb:

After Qiao Suining wakes up in the hospital following a car accident, he finds himself in possession of a secret.

While unconscious, he transmigrated into a shameless danmei novel. In that world, he successfully upheld the Heartless Dao and raised his disciple to become an upright protagonist. Then he ascended through the Heartless Dao and returned to the present day.

The good news: His acting improved by leaps and bounds. After breaking out in an ancient fantasy romance series, he successfully changed genres and won Best Actor three years in a row.

The bad news: His unusual constitution came back, and his rival discovered it.

Yan Guzhou, the lead actor of a new drama who spent three years as a runner-up before finally taking the Best Actor spot in the fourth, is leaning beside the bed. He sees Qiao Suining's flushed face and thoughtfully asks, "You seem very hot. Would you like me to help cool you down?"

Qiao Suining reaches out with a trembling arm and pulls Yan Guzhou down.

The next morning...

Yan Guzhou blushes. "Teacher Qiao took advantage of me. You have to take responsibility."

Qiao Suining clutches his waist, struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

From then on, Yan Guzhou sticks to him like a dog-skin plaster, claiming he's just helping his senior out.

Much later, Qiao Suining stomps his foot and curses, "Damn you, Yan Guzhou! You liar!"

Slow-paced, health-conscious, oblivious bottom x sweet-faced but sinister, love-struck top

The unusual constitution means he's a furnace cauldron and has heat cycles, but he is not intersex.

One-on-one, happy ending, both are each other's first and only.

No real-person references, and no celebrity fandom. Mwah!

Preorder 2

Why Is the Regent Like That?

Eighteen-year-old "innocent" high school boy Si Qin transmigrates into a shameless web novel.

A disgraced crown prince with nothing but good looks, desperate to return to the top, takes the initiative to ally himself with Regent Xie Yunqiu.

The regent uses the throne as leverage to make all sorts of demands of the disgraced crown prince, then continues doing this and that to him on the throne.

But the crown prince doesn't know that the regent was behind his fall from power all along.

Reading the book is a thrill. Transmigrating into it is hell.

Si Qin has just fifteen minutes before he is disgraced.

Si Qin helps Xie Yunqiu undress, but the dagger in his grasp clatters to the floor because he's so nervous.

Si Qin's brain short-circuits: I'm done for! I'm going to die!

But Xie Yunqiu suddenly drops to his knees.

Si Qin: ?

Xie Yunqiu secretly picks up the dagger and throws it out the window. "...My leg's gone numb. Help me up."

Xie Yunqiu has inexplicably become disabled, so for now, he can't perform in bed.

Si Qin: Good... though I don't exactly feel good about it either. QAQ

*

One day, Si Qin opens the door to find Xie "Disabled" Yunqiu pacing in circles and muttering to himself.

"I completed every task the System gave me so carefully. Why is the protagonist's affection level still so low?"

Then he turns and sees Si Qin standing in the doorway, dumbfounded.

Xie Yunqiu, usually expressionless, fixes him with a murderous glare.

If he can't win over the protagonist, he'll take his place.

"Guards!"

Si Qin darts forward, grabs his fellow transmigrator, and shouts, "The price of a shirt is nine pounds and fifteen pence!"

Xie Yunqiu: ...

*

Si Qin: "So what's the story in your hands?"

Xie Yunqiu: "A great villain tries to murder the disgraced crown prince, but ends up pinned to the throne. In the end, he dies by being torn apart by five horses. A revenge drama full of power struggles. It's great. Is the story you're reading different? What happens in yours?"

Si Qin: ...

A funny, sweet romance. One-on-one, happy ending, both are each other's first love.

Theme: Even when life gets difficult, keep moving forward and striving to improve yourself.
