Everyday Life After Transmigrating into a Book as a Rich Family's Cannon Fodder

[Updated daily at 10 p.m. Pre-release: After My Nonhuman Childhood Friend's Training Went Wrong. Blurb at the very bottom]

Nan Cheng was born in the interstellar age. He was a straight man who loved mecha and... danmei. One day, while carrying out a mission, he was in an accident and transmigrated into an ancient Earth boys' love romance he'd read before he died.

The good news: He was the younger brother of the male lead, a top heir to a wealthy family. Even if he did nothing, a fortune worth hundreds of billions was waiting for him to inherit.

The bad news: In the original story, he was stupid, troublesome, and an extreme brother-con. He tried to sabotage the relationship between the male lead and his love interest, and was hated by everyone. Even worse, he eventually got drunk and went drag racing with a motley crew of friends, floored the gas, and sent himself to the ICU, paralyzed from the waist down.

After top mecha mechanic Nan Cheng, the rotten danmei fan, transmigrated, he browsed all the steamy danmei novels on the market, eyes shining. With all that effort, wouldn't it be better to read novels and ship couples?

Later, everyone noticed that the useless young master of the Nan family seemed to have changed.

The vulgar catchphrases he'd once spouted without repeating himself had become unconsciously sharp-tongued remarks.

To the two-faced friends of the original owner:

"Please don't talk to me. You'll make me think I'm back in kindergarten."

When mocked for not measuring up to even half the little finger of his highly intelligent brother, Nan Cheng replied casually:

"Oh, the structure of the human finger is incredibly intricate. In the presence of the Creator, I really am nothing."

Everyone who'd been waiting to laugh at him: forced to broaden their horizons.

Xie Lin, the icy heartthrob of the legal world, was asked by a friend to look after his younger brother, who periodically fainted and mumbled "kswl" (I'm dying from how sweet this is).

At first:

Xie Lin: What kind of new human species is this?

Later:

Xie Lin: Oh, this is my wife.

He silently carried him away...

Pre-release: After My Nonhuman Childhood Friend's Training Went Wrong

Just before Lin Jue's seventh birthday, the older boy next door died in a car accident. The blood at the scene had not yet dried, and the neighbors were crying their eyes out. Lin Jue lay awake all night.

On his birthday, his parents prepared his party as usual, saying nothing about the accident the day before, as if nothing had happened. The doorbell rang three times. Lin Jue went to answer it, and the family next door stood outside to wish him a happy birthday.

The older boy who had collided with a truck while riding his bicycle yesterday stood before Lin Jue, whole and unhurt. He held out a gift with a hand as pristine as new and said in a child's voice:

"Hello, Lin Jue. I wish you a long life."

A few weeks later, Lin Jue was certain of two things:

1. No one except him knew that there was someone else beneath the older boy's skin.

2. The "older boy" listened to him very obediently.

Perhaps he could try to tame a monster.

That year, terrifying monsters appeared overnight in the city's hidden, dark corners. Their eyes were vacant, and they wandered aimlessly. They did not communicate with their own kind or pay any attention to the human residents.

Ten years passed. Humanity grew used to their existence. Characters modeled on the monsters could be found everywhere, in books, advertisements, cartoons, movies, and other media. Stupid, laughable, and ugly were the words used to describe them.

Until one day, a monster slaughtered an entire biological research institute. Monsters scattered across the world began to rampage, and soon they were holding their own against humanity...

Lu Wen was an ordinary person. After graduating from the Public Security University, he took a job at a local police station not far from home. He was quiet and conscientious, earned the respect of his superiors, was single and had no financial worries. His only complaint was that the climate was too dry. He wished it would rain all year round.

Recently, he had acquired another worry: his childhood friend, who was staying at his place, was behaving strangely. He wanted kisses when they went out and cuddles when they slept. In human terms, he had entered heat.

A few years later, Lu Wen happened to find his childhood friend's diary. It recorded their "daily life" together and included a chart of Lu Wen's physical measurements. Every rating was good or excellent, except the one for reproductive ability, which had a huge X drawn beside it.

Lu Wen: ...

Perhaps he should catch the little brat and put it to the test.
