[Next up: Reborn and Paying Respects to a Random Passerby. Click the author page to see it!] #Bound to a Literary Genius System, but Sent to the Wrong Place# What's it like to write a romance between men in front of a tyrant?! Is the OP still alive? Xie Ling was a lazy couch potato. One day, he woke up bound to a literary genius System, and was just about to turn his life around and make a name for himself when he discovered the truth: Thanks for asking, but the System had screwed him over. He'd been sent to the wrong place! He'd gone from the culturally barren interstellar beastfolk genre to the Great Qian Dynasty, a hellish difficulty level filled with sages. As it happened, the dynasty had just been given a thorough shake-up by Emperor Qianwu. After several rounds of brutal purges, the ministers were all trembling with fear and walking on thin ice, thinking only about how to survive and come out on top. Xie Ling: Hahaha, I'm so lucky, there's no way I'll have anything to do with the imperial palace, right? In this situation, being a villager from the mountains would be perfect. System: Hahaha, as if. Xie Ling: ... So, in the Great Qian Dynasty, the most famous for its hatred of men who loved men, he was supposed to be a concubine-born son of a marquis whose ambition reached the heavens (emphasis: male), and cozy up to a eunuch so he could get all dolled up and offer himself to Emperor Wu? There were way too many factors in play. Xie Ling's vision went black. What's the point of living? I'm done for! Hahahaha! # Xiao Huan was accomplished in both civil and military affairs, decisive and ruthless, and hated men who loved men more than anything. Yet, without warning, someone presented him with a beautiful male companion. He'd have to kill such a treacherous sycophant to quell the fury in his heart. But the moment Xiao Huan saw the beautiful man, his eyes narrowed. It was because he saw these words above the man's head: "Three Sentences to Make a Domineering Emperor Fall Head Over Heels for Me" Xiao Huan: ...Heh. You think so? I don't believe it. He'd see for himself just how these three sentences were going to make him "fall head over heels." The first sentence: "Would you like to live forever?" Xiao Huan: ... The second sentence: "Would you like your reign to last for all eternity?" Xiao Huan: Tsk. The third sentence: "You might, perhaps, possibly... have been poisoned?" Xiao Huan: ...What did you just say? Say that again! Xie Ling had thought he was bound to die, but as he waited, he realized that on the first day, he didn't die. On the second day, he still didn't die. By the third day, he'd become a palace attendant and actually held an official post. In the end, Xie Ling stared blankly at the Martial Emperor, who was pulling him into bed, and read aloud from his employee handbook: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules. According to Article 108 of the palace regulations..." The next second, a new story appeared above his head, updating at lightning speed: #Help, My Boss Is an Absolute Powerhouse. I'm Just a Lowly Secretary, and We've Been on a Business Trip Alone Together for Half a Month. Why Is My Boss Keeping Me from Going Home Late at Night and Telling Me to Sleep in His Bed?# Xiao Huan was at a loss for words, then gave him a half-smile: ... "What do you think?" P.S. A standard feudal emperor: moody, fastidious, arrogant, and extremely possessive, x a lazy, snarky, beautiful, goofy bottom who occasionally bounces back from rock bottom [Blurb written: 2024.8.25] [Coming next] "Reborn and Paying Respects to a Random Passerby" Wei Xiu was out of work. One day, he woke up and ran into a System. System: Hi! Want to follow the plot? We're the Random Passerby System. The story is at the novel's ending, and all you have to do is walk across the street as part of the crowd when the protagonists take their final bow. You'll get a 50-million bonus. A task this easy? Wei Xiu eagerly agreed. Who could have guessed that after the story ended, he would cross at the green light and get ready to go home for dinner, only for the male lead, who had died across the street, to suddenly be reborn. Their eyes met, and the male lead immediately decided Wei Xiu was the mastermind behind everything. Then he clung to him like a male ghost. Wei Xiu, who was only following the random passerby plot: ...? Damn it. This System is a scam! It said he'd appear when the story ended, but never mentioned that the protagonist could be reborn at the end. Pay up! & "Guiding People Through the Strange World" was a cosmic horror comic with a terrible ending. The author described a series of events following the resurgence of anomalies, as ancient horrors awakened and all sorts of superpowered individuals took the stage to show off their abilities. But it started with a bang and ended in a whimper. The protagonist's group died for no apparent reason in a supernatural incident during their showdown with the villains, like a meteor falling from the sky, completely out of the blue. Just as readers were cursing the terrible ending and wishing the author and their whole family ill, the comic quietly updated with a new chapter. The popular male lead, who had just died, was reborn. Readers: ...? The reborn male lead opened his eyes and met the gaze of an utterly ordinary office worker waiting at a crosswalk for the light to change. The next second, in the midst of everyone's silence, the male lead latched onto him. Readers: ...? Damn, what does this mean? Wait, could it be... that this seemingly ordinary office worker is actually the mastermind behind everything, and only appeared after the male lead died? Not sure. Let's see. Wei Xiu: No, this is a terrible injustice! & Convinced that popular character Jin Lin had something wrong with his head, Wei Xiu couldn't bear to miss out on the 50-million bonus, so he appealed to the System every day. The System was sick of hearing his complaints and decided to give him one more chance. When he started over, Wei Xiu decided to "pass by" someone else this time. But the second male lead, who should have exited the story, was reborn too! And latched onto him again and again. The second, third, fourth, fifth time... The System watched helplessly as Wei Xiu played the role of a random passerby several times and wound up creating a whole bunch of reborn people: ... Until the final random passerby plot. Wei Xiu was tired. He gave up and sprawled on the grass in the park. Ha, surely no one else will be reborn this time, right? The next second, he turned his head and saw a pair of unfamiliar eyes, smiling faintly. Wei Xiu: ...? As the comic's only evil god, Xie Hui often hid behind the scenes, manipulating everyone like puppets. Recently, however, He had noticed that the superpowered individuals who should have followed the clues He'd laid out had gone off the rails. After opening their eyes, these superpowered individuals, whose personalities had changed drastically, all did the same inexplicable thing: they started clinging to someone else, an ordinary human office worker. Interesting. After this had happened again and again, Xie Hui raised an eyebrow and turned His interested gaze toward the man. The office worker being watched by the whole world: ...! Readers who thought the story was over: ...? Wait. Who on earth is he?! P.S. I'm really just an ordinary passerby, a personality-unknown office worker bottom x a gleeful evil god top who says, "Do you think I'd believe that?" Theme: Strive to rise above adversity
