Next door: My Secretary Yu Is Quitting Today has finished its run~

[Ensemble cast, slow burn]

[Bold, unruly B-king troublemaker young master vs. aloof, cool campus goddess]

Jiang Yi accidentally learned that he was living in a campus novel, and that the cool, gentle campus goddess in the class next door was a supporting female character in the story.

According to the novel's plot, the supporting female character, Wen Jiqing, would become jealous of the heroine and keep setting obstacles in her way, including but not limited to slandering her in public, sabotaging her performance props, and locking her in the equipment room.

The heroine would then resolve each of these problems one by one. In the end, Wen Jiqing would be shunned by her friends and neglected by her family, becoming a cautionary example that highlighted the heroine's sincerity and kindness. She would end up hated by everyone.

After reading the novel, Jiang Yi cried, “What nonsense! My childhood friend could never be a vicious supporting female character!”

The day after he put the novel's plot out of his mind, a ding rang inside his head.

[Congratulations, you have bonded with the Vicious Supporting Female Character Reformation System!]

Wen Jiqing had a lot of secrets she couldn't easily say out loud.

For example, when her grades slipped, she would get so upset she couldn't sleep. To make her parents happy, she spent all her weekends at tutoring classes. To keep her figure, she hardly ever touched sweets. And she didn't have a single true friend.

She confided these secrets to a stranger online and found comfort in their advice. Wen Jiqing liked this person a lot. After one exam, she left them a message, hoping to send them a gift to show her gratitude.

Then they sent her their address.

Wen Jiqing stared silently at her phone for a long time. Wasn't that address Jiang Yi's, the troublemaking young master who lived next door?

- My Secretary Yu Is Quitting Today?

[Workaholic heroine who only cares about making money vs. domineering CEO hero with OCD and mind-reading powers]

Airhead vs. grump, naturally goofy vs. king of wild assumptions

Yu Wan, a diligent office worker, worked hard from eight in the morning until nine at night. Before she could save up to buy a little place of her own, she transmigrated into a CEO novel and became the male lead's personal secretary.

Looking at the handsome CEO in front of her, tall and long-legged, with a face as sharply chiseled as a knife, Yu Wan gulped.

Unfortunately, the CEO had a terrible temper and was violent and irascible.

He could send a proposal back for revisions twenty or thirty times before he was satisfied. He was so germophobic that he wiped his hands with disinfectant wipes after shaking hands with someone. His phone had to stay on twenty-four hours a day, and he expected her to arrive within fifteen minutes whenever he needed something. Everything he ate, wore, and used had to be the best, and he flew into a rage whenever anything displeased him.

The 108th time Yu Wan wanted to smack the proposal in her hands into his face, she still swallowed her anger for the sake of the generous salary. After all, the boss was heaven and earth, while she was just a little brick, ready to be carried wherever she was needed.

But as she kept carrying things around, how did she end up moving into her boss's house?

Yu Wan: ?? Something's not right.

*

Fu Zhiyao had a special ability.

He could hear the thoughts of anyone within three meters of him. As long as someone was within that range, no one could escape the mind-reading buff.

Everyone's thoughts made him feel disgusted and irritated. Then he met an exception: Yu Wan, the new personal secretary hired by the company.

He couldn't hear her thoughts.

After an accident put him in the hospital, Yu Wan came to see him with a thermos of congee. She stood by his bed without saying a word.

He frowned. “What are you thinking?”

Yu Wan was silent for two seconds. “Boss, this congee cost 108 yuan. Can I expense it?”

Fu Zhiyao: ...

On a business trip, they were trapped in a hotel by a torrential downpour. Every other guest was anxious and tense, while Yu Wan stared blankly at the menu flyer.

He frowned again. “What are you thinking about now?”

Yu Wan answered seriously, “Those glutinous rice balls with pearls look delicious.”

Fu Zhiyao: ...

The things that were most painful to him seemed less important to Yu Wan than eating and sleeping. But, miraculously, he didn't feel irritated by her. It was as if she were born with a magic that could make time slow down.

Quite a few employees from the company came to ask Yu Wan how to survive working for the demon CEO.

Yu Wan: ...Uh, maybe it's just a worker's professional virtue?

*

When Fu Zhiyao realized he had fallen for Yu Wan, she had just made him cry with anger. He hid in his car and messaged his grandmother.

Fu Zhiyao: I like Yu Wan, but she doesn't like me. How should I treat her well?

Grandmother: Spend money on her. Spend lots and lots and lots of money.

Transmigrated to My Poor Schoolheart's Teenage Years

Flirtatious but unaware of it, lazy and mischievous girl & poor, self-restrained fake school bully

As the foil in a wealthy-family romance, Zhu Mingyue thought her life was going incredibly smoothly. She had money and beauty, plus a handsome husband who was great in bed and didn't talk much.

What more could you want?

Spoiled unconditionally by Shang Jue, Zhu Mingyue became a useless rich wife who never lifted a finger and couldn't tell one grain from another.

Perhaps even heaven couldn't stand seeing her have it so easy, so it waved a great hand and changed the course of her fate.

When Zhu Mingyue woke up, she found herself back at the age of seventeen.

The first thing she did after waking up was go find Shang Jue. She wanted to latch onto him earlier than she had in her previous life, and try to get as much out of him as she could before fate took a different turn.

But when she ran to Shang Jue's classroom, she saw a boy sitting at a desk, with short black hair, lowered eyes and brows, and an expressionless face. His whole body radiated menace and a clear warning not to mess with him. The boys around him crowded close, fawning over him and calling him “Brother Jue.”

Zhu Mingyue heard her heart shatter.

She clutched her chest, tears in her eyes.

Zhu Mingyue: Where's my husband? Where's my huge, gentle, handsome, rich husband?

*

Shang Jue had never thought he would have anything to do with Zhu Mingyue.

Zhu Mingyue was a famous campus goddess, beautiful and cool, with a black mole beneath her eye that added to her charm and made her easy to recognize. Even though her grades were poor and teachers often criticized her in class, people still stuffed her desk with love letters by the handful.

Then, one day, Zhu Mingyue ran up to him, clutching her chest and looking at him with red-rimmed eyes, as if he had done something unforgivable and let her down.

After that, Zhu Mingyue clung to him like a shadow. His friend asked him, “Is Zhu Mingyue pursuing you?”

Watching Zhu Mingyue mooch food and drinks off him, Shang Jue thought it was more likely she was interested in his money than in him.

He couldn't figure it out, and couldn't be bothered to try.

Until one day, the school lost power. Shang Jue was going down the stairs alone when he suddenly heard Zhu Mingyue cry out in terror, “Husband! Wait for me!”

Shang Jue: ???

2: When Elaine Gladys was nineteen, she finally proved that she was the old earl's true-blooded child and defeated all her rivals to claim her position.

Before the investiture ceremony, something calling itself a System told her that the old earl wasn't her biological father either.

Elaine: ???

She refused to accept it, but the System didn't listen and took one Elaine away.

After more than a decade of hard work, she was back to square one overnight.

Looking at the “richest person” title and the mayor's rewards on the System panel, Elaine declared that she was someone who valued family and blood ties.

A little girl picking through trash appeared on the streets of New York. She looked just like Gotham's richest man, but after picking through garbage for N days without attracting his attention, Elaine finally decided to pack her suitcase and deliver herself to his doorstep.

The little Bluebird discovered a new little sister when he opened the door. “Oh my gosh, am I dreaming?”

Elaine went to great lengths to act like a ten-year-old girl.

Facing thirteen-year-old Damian: “Big Brother Damian~”

Facing seventeen-year-old Tim: “Big Brother Tim~”

A mayor of unknown identity, background, and influence suddenly dropped into Gotham. A month after taking office, she was nowhere to be seen, was often late and left early, and played hooky whenever she had nothing else to do.

She kicked the irritable little bird. “You're just as deserving of a beating as the brat at my house.” If she couldn't deal with the one at home, couldn't she at least deal with the ones outside?

She questioned Bluebird. “Are you wearing lifts?” At 179 centimeters tall, she was still two centimeters shorter than him.

She put Red Hood in his place. “Sorry, your influence is too great.” She couldn't stand anyone having more influence than she did.

She recruited the little Redbird. “There's always a place for you in the mayor's office.” With computer skills that good, surely he could fix computers, right?

She threatened Batman. “Bat, call me Father and I'll keep your family safe.” Gotham was hers, and Batman had to be hers too.

The Batfamily: ...

The Penguin, who had just lost his spot: ...

The former Gotham mayor, inexplicably replaced: ...

Since the new mayor took office, Gotham's public safety had improved in a way that defied explanation. The main reason was that the mayor personally cracked down on criminals.

Gotham's residents: You might see the mayor anywhere, except in the mayor's office.

After not seeing the mayor for several days, her trusted aide finally received a message. The mayor hadn't run off today, either.

Thesis: Everyone can find a place where they belong

3: An Huai met Shen Wenyue during his stammering, insecure adolescence.

Because Shen Wenyue once told him, “I'll protect you,” An Huai tried hard to follow in his footsteps, from high school to college, and from real life to the game.

He even gave up the sniper rifle he was best at, as Shen Wenyue had asked, becoming his “exclusive” medic and supporting his livestreams.

Online fans went wild shipping the two of them, but Shen Wenyue never gave them a clear response.

Just as An Huai thought things would go on like this between them forever, Shen Wenyue suddenly went solo, announced he was joining a pro team, and said he was completely straight. He didn't mention An Huai at all.

At the same time, An Huai stopped streaming.

*

After becoming a professional substitute, Shen Wenyue realized An Huai was avoiding him.

He thought An Huai would come back to his side before long, just like before.

But a month passed, and An Huai still hadn't contacted him.

Shen Wenyue panicked.

For the first time, he reached out to An Huai, only to learn that An Huai had joined the top professional team IHF as a starter: the former number-one sniper in the game, the legendary master who had supposedly quit three years ago.

The whole internet was in an uproar. Shen Wenyue stormed into the IHF club to snatch him back, only to see An Huai with his back to him, kissing another man.

He wanted to rush over and pull them apart, but froze in place at the other man's glance.

It was Cheng Shuo, his half-brother, the current IHF captain, and the universally acclaimed best sniper in the world.

Shen Wenyue's eyes blazed with fury.

*

Cheng Shuo once had a shy, adorable teammate.

The day before he planned to meet him in person and confess, his little teammate stopped logging in and never came back.

Three years later, Cheng Shuo finally found out that his little teammate had become someone else's teammate, and someone else's boyfriend.

Then he would just have to steal him away.

#Not your boyfriend? He's mine now anyway.#

· The game setting draws inspiration from various shooting games and includes plenty of original details. You can enjoy the story even if you've never played one.

· I thought it over and changed the setting back. I'm going to steal my younger brother's wife (not really), and there's an amnesia trope.

· No real-life inspiration. This is a story for getting back into writing and practice.

Thesis: Love yourself before loving someone else, and love the right person. Sometimes you have to be a little brave so you don't miss out on true love.

4: Big Bat, Iron Man, Arkham Hood, Spider-Man, Captain, and the others: “Yes, we have an egg.”

Thanks for asking. I'm in a superhero world, currently inside an egg, waiting to hatch...

When superheroes get magical pets of their own: Big Bat's telepathic dragon hatchling, Iron Man's iron-eating panda, Arkham Hood's healing capybara, Aquaman's foul-mouthed baby orca, Captain's shy, super-strong lop-eared rabbit...

It'll probably be a series of short stories, with one pet for each superhero, and they'll all appear together. The rivalry will come from the superheroes chattering away: “My precious pet is the cutest!”

Mostly a slice-of-life story about healing and adorable pets, definitely a light and sweet read~

You are both hunter and prey, free to draw on all the fluttering hearts, love, desire to protect, and possessiveness in this world. Welcome to City Y, the central city of the otome game world.

Chu Mian walked down the street expressionlessly with his backpack on. He looked at the glamorous men and women around him. Even more eye-catching were the charm ratings and colorful auras above their heads, as well as their rankings on the conquest leaderboard. The higher their rank, the more attention, fame, and wealth they attracted.

As for him, he came from a normal world. In other words, he was a blank slate and a penniless nobody.

From far away, he squinted at the faces of the top-ranked dream lovers playing on a giant screen. He had never planned to get involved with any of them. He just wanted to go home.

Until one day, a needle-sharp pain in his head came with a voice: “Your integration level is too low! Forced Conquest System 007 has been activated!”

The mechanical voice continued, “Your final task is to conquer the top three male leads on the leaderboard. Complete the conquest missions, and the System will provide you with various rewards.”

Chu Mian rubbed his temples, feeling nothing but a headache. “Even if that means letting me leave this absurd world?”

After a brief pause, the answer came: “Yes.”
