The Heartthrob Refuses to Be Conquered

[The story is complete. Next up: Raising My Corrupted Late Husband [Quick Transmigration], a gloomy ghostly man × a carefree sweetheart]

Jian Qing is the protagonist of a badly concluded suspense novel.

An irresistible allure is part of the character the author gave him. Being obsessively pursued by the second male lead, the third male lead, and the Nth male lead is his fate.

Most troublesome of all, countless men and women who call themselves conquerors arrive with so-called Systems, transmigrate into other people's bodies and seize control, hoping to steal the fortune that belongs to him as the protagonist.

Fortunately, Jian Qing knows all about it.

For the Nth time, he overpowers a deranged admirer who's trying to kill them both. Jian Qing deftly snatches the knife and straightens his suit. Before he can call the police, a smiling face appears before him.

"Hello, I'm He Linfeng, consultant to the Major Crimes Unit."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

*

On his first day assigned to the Major Crimes Unit in City B, He Linfeng hears Jian Qing's name from several colleagues.

Threats, kidnappings, bodies dumped in rivers... People around him keep dying, and Mr. Jian's role shifts between victim and suspect. Yet every time, he leaves the police station completely in the clear.

He Linfeng is intrigued.

One day, while shopping for furniture for his new home, he happens upon a knife attack at the mall. He watches the refined-looking victim dodge, launch a flying kick, and pin the suspect down on one knee, leaving him gasping for breath, all before He Linfeng can step in.

The blade slices the young man's cheek.

Blood spatters across his gold-rimmed glasses.

In that instant, He Linfeng's heart goes off like fireworks. He hurries over, only to receive an icy, disgusted look from the young man.

"Whoever you are..."

"Please stay away from me."

*

The two things Jian Qing hates most in life are liking someone and loving someone.

It isn't until he meets He Linfeng that he discovers some feelings can burn so fiercely that they ignore every rejection and defy every setting, yet remain as steady as a mountain, firmly telling him:

In a world made of paper, where truth and fiction blur, even if one day the protagonist loses his irresistible charm,

he is still precious.

Upright "fox spirit" seme × impenetrable "suit-wearing thug" uke

An alternate-universe story about healing, not a conventional police procedural. The author's intelligence is limited, so don't read if that bothers you.

[Upcoming novel blurb]

Also known as: #My Ex, Whom I Personally Put to Rest, Has Returned#

Tu Xing is a newly promoted menace in the Quick Transmigration Bureau. The characters he plays always lose their beloved childhood friend first, then meet the real love interest.

As a diligent, money-loving wage worker, Tu Xing often pulls his consciousness away from his role while waiting for the real love interest to appear, squeezing in other missions to meet his quotas.

But when he returns to the original timeline, something about the world seems off.

World One:

Young Master Tu Xing had a childhood friend who died young. Years later, his parents force him into a marriage alliance. He doesn't want to go through with it, but the person on the other side has a face he recognizes all too well, and somehow the young master agrees.

Substitute romance, marriage first, love later.

Tu Xing understands. He promptly puts away everything connected to his childhood friend, draws a clear line between them, and openly takes his spouse to pay his respects, trying to nip any misunderstanding in the bud.

But despite his sincere efforts, his legal spouse grows gloomier by the day. One day, he pins Tu Xing firmly beside the childhood friend's memorial tablet, his body as cold as ice.

"You promised you'd always remember me."

"Liar."

World Two:

Actor Tu Xing had an adopted younger brother who died young. In a suspense drama about twins, he plays both roles, hoping to say goodbye to the past while getting to know the real love interest, who plays a police officer.

A story of healing and growing toward the sun.

Tu Xing understands. He perfectly conveys the relief of having let go of his emotional knot, goes with the flow, holds hands and goes on dates, and smiles more with every passing day.

Yet during filming, the face reflected in the mirror begins to look more and more like someone else.

Then one day, someone steps through the cold, hard glass and seals Tu Xing's lips with a fierce kiss.

"Brother."

"How about we kill him?"

"This time, let me be the one to cherish you for the rest of your life."

World Three

Only at the very end does Tu Xing find out.

What real love interest?

The only one he has is his crazy ex, crawling back from hell.

Important notes: One-on-one romance, happy ending, gloomy ghostly man × carefree sweetheart. Both the seme and uke are adults and unrelated by blood.
