[Blurb]

Zheng Xingyang is infamous in the industry for being stubborn and wooden.

When his boss serves food, he turns the table; when his boss opens the door, he gets in the car.

He has a bad temper, hates losing, has little fame, and isn't well-liked in the industry.

And Sheng Zeyao is the biggest star among the people he's offended.

A top-tier star with countless fans.

The reason Zheng Xingyang offended him is simple: everyone thinks they're together.

Clingy, good at clinging, always clinging.

Zheng Xingyang figures that's probably what Sheng Zeyao thinks of him.

Until a twist of fate puts him on the same variety show as Sheng Zeyao.

Sheng Zeyao is astonishingly nice to him.

He's always affectionate and gentle, always smiling, always considerate.

Zheng Xingyang has never had good relationships in the industry, and has never experienced anyone fussing over him and taking care of his every need.

Zheng, stubborn straight guy, Xingyang: (slowly types a question mark) Is he trying to mess with me? Surely one time of clinging isn't enough to justify this. How petty.

He nervously puts up with Sheng Zeyao's advances, already imagining the scandalous stories about him flooding the internet after the show airs.

After worrying for a long time, he finally snaps.

When Sheng Zeyao deliberately approaches him again, Zheng Xingyang instinctively takes him down in a solid, flat-on-the-ground fall.

A cloud of dust and Sheng Zeyao's suddenly close, concerned face appear before him.

Zheng Xingyang: I'm done for. Should I start writing my retirement announcement?

*

For some time after the survival show ended, Zheng Xingyang thinks he'll never cross paths with Sheng Zeyao again.

Although, in the latter half of the show, he figured out that Sheng Zeyao was simply a good person and had no intention of messing with him, Zheng Xingyang had spent the first half pushing him away. How could the two of them possibly get along now?

The guy's a top-tier star, after all.

What could he possibly have to do with him?

Then he receives an invitation from a hugely popular dating show.

And the person who invited him is Sheng Zeyao, the man he thought he'd never have any contact with again.

*

Sheng Zeyao has liked someone for a long time.

If you like someone, you should pursue them.

He has been planning for ages, showing off his gentleness and thoughtfulness as earnestly as a peacock displaying its feathers.

Until he gets sent tumbling to the ground again and again, falling hard alongside the person he likes.

The top-tier star, who stays calm in every situation, is stumped for the first time. Is this a normal reaction to being pursued?

So has Zheng Xingyang realized that Sheng Zeyao is pursuing him?

Has he realized that someone has secretly loved him for a very, very long time?

Lu Jiangxing is a washed-up celebrity from the bottom ranks.

1. Lu Jiangxing never imagined that the powerful Pei Junxuan would want to marry him. At first, Pei Junxuan tells him, "This is only a marriage of convenience. Don't expect me to have feelings for you." Looking at the amount of money on offer, Lu Jiangxing nods repeatedly. "I wouldn't even covet one of your fingers."

2. Later, Pei Junxuan tells Lu Jiangxing, "You can play to your strengths, like playing with my feelings."

3. Pei Junxuan acts cold toward Lu Jiangxing in public, but secretly follows him as a fan using an alt account.

His alt account is full of posts screaming about Lu Jiangxing and cheering him on.

One day, Lu Jiangxing discovers that the account belongs to Pei Junxuan.

Pei Junxuan says with a stern face that he would never be so shameless.

4. Only later does Lu Jiangxing learn that he wasn't the person Pei Junxuan was supposed to marry, but Pei Junxuan went along with the mistake.

[Upcoming Novel 2] "A Lazy Assassin Forced to Become Famous"

A lazy bottom x a career-driven top

Jiang Lan completed his final mission. At the moment of his death, he thought, I hope I can spend my next life doing nothing.

It seems Heaven heard him. He transmigrates, and after getting used to life in a different era,

he's just about to settle down and happily live a lazy life when he accidentally saves a powerful man, who then turns his peaceful life upside down.

The powerful man pushes up his gold-rimmed glasses and says, "Give me three minutes, and I'll make you famous."

Jiang Lan's only response is wordless exasperation. He shoves the man away and says, "Don't come any closer."

[Upcoming Novel 3] "After the Stand-In Leaves, He Becomes a Top-Tier Star"

1. Song Chenyi is a washed-up celebrity from the bottom ranks. He's been with Shen Yuyan for years, yet never had a proper title.

One time, Shen Yuyan gets drunk and looks at him. "Your eyes look so much like his." Song Chenyi's heart jolts, but he holds back. After all, they have years of history together.

2. Just when Song Chenyi thinks life will continue quietly, someone with features much like his wraps an arm around Shen Yuyan and tells him, "Thank you for taking care of Shen Yuyan all this time."

Song Chenyi had planned to leave quietly, but the one Shen Yuyan loved humiliates him, accusing him of being after money. Just as Shen Yuyan starts to say there's no need, Song Chenyi turns around and asks, "Then how much do I owe you?"

"You've got guts. Five million."

"You don't have to pay it back, Chenyi." At that familiar voice, he glances back at the man. "The stand-in steps aside, and what's mine returns to me."

3. Director Li has never seen an actor work so hard. As long as there's a paycheck and an opportunity, he'll take a role even if he has only one line. After everyone else leaves, he's still in the studio, holding his script and rehearsing his lines alone.

One day, an accident happens on set. Shen Yuyan rushes over to see him and demands, "How did the accident happen?"

Song Chenyi smiles bitterly. "I'm just a stand-in. You don't need to care if I get hurt, do you?" With difficulty, he takes out a bank card and hands it to Shen Yuyan. "Here's the five million. I don't owe you anything now."

A middle-aged man in a suit walks in through the door, smiling kindly. "Young master, we're late. We're here to take you home."

4. Later, at the Best Actor awards ceremony, Song Chenyi stands onstage to accept his award. "First, I'd like to thank Mr. Shen Yuyan for helping me grow..."

Down below, Shen Yuyan's eyes are red. The person who was always behind him now seems like a bird that has flown away.

[Upcoming Novel 4] "A Master with No Cultivation Is Forced to Become Everyone's Darling [Book Transmigration]"

Mu Yiyun transmigrates into a book and becomes a master. That alone would be bad enough,

but three of his disciples also fall for him. To protect his virtue, he turns them all down.

Dragon cultivator disciple: "Master, I'll let everyone know that this pond belongs to you."

He refuses. "No. We're different species. It wouldn't work."

Ghost cultivator disciple: "Master, all the mandrake flowers in this place are blooming for you."

He refuses. "No. We're separated by life and death. It wouldn't work."

Human cultivator disciple: "Master..."

He immediately cuts him off. "Don't say another word. Our age difference is a problem. It wouldn't work."

Years later, that human disciple becomes a demon cultivator. Before he can speak, Mu Yiyun says, "Good and evil can't coexist. It wouldn't work."

Baili Lingchuan leans close to his ear and whispers, "If it won't work, then I'll flatten the cultivation world and see who dares say it won't."

Mu Yiyun backs down. Why doesn't this guy follow the script?

[Upcoming Novel 5] "The Immortal Has Become My Pet"

The rabbit Shen Zhaoxue accidentally finds a carp who is the transformed body of an immortal.

Shen Zhaoxue takes good care of the carp, feeding him well and making sure he has everything he needs.

He asks the carp clan to teach him their language. Once he translates it, he discovers the stinky fish has been calling him stupid. He's so angry he nearly throws him away.

But the carp is a decent fellow. Whenever Shen Zhaoxue is in danger, he even breathes fire to save him.

The person the rabbit loves is the immortal Junheng. Junheng once helped him cultivate his human form, and Shen Zhaoxue has always wanted to ascend and see him, even if only as his attendant.

At first, Junheng, in his fish form, doesn't know who the rabbit likes. He thinks the rabbit is cultivating for that person, and since he's been so loyal to the rabbit, it really is a waste that the rabbit isn't interested in him, especially after he took a hit for him.

After Junheng recovers, he leaves his fish form beside the rabbit while handling affairs in Heaven. He's curious which immortal the rabbit will choose after ascending. Then the rabbit comes to find him, and he's so excited that even his fish turns red, but he holds back for the sake of appearances.

Theme: Success through hard work
