After I Transmigrated, I Became a Marketing Influencer in Ancient Times

Yan Zexing, who ran a social media marketing account in the entertainment industry, transmigrated into the fictional ancient nation of Donglin. The people here were open-minded, and their favorite pastime was getting together to gossip about everything.

Then Yan Zexing happened to discover that Xin Zhanyang, the powerless young emperor, was also a fellow transmigrator from his world.

Xin Zhanyang: Why did you take so long to get here? Three years! Do you know how I've been living for the past three years? *sob*

Thinking of their shared connection as fellow countrymen, Yan Zexing decided to help the young emperor. So he took up his old profession in ancient times, putting his top-notch PR skills to full use in Donglin: exposing gossip, publishing books, setting up a "forum," creating "viral influencers," and eventually even joining the imperial government to become an "official verified account."

To drive a wedge between the great general Mu Cangming and the regent Xin Chenyuan, Yan Zexing, well-versed in entertainment-industry marketing tactics, got the people of Donglin shipping the entirely fabricated Ming-Chen CP, pairing the two men out of thin air, and even took the opportunity to cash in.

However, an accident caused the Ming-Chen CP to collapse, and rumors spread throughout the capital.

Gossip 1: "The general and the prince had a fight. General Mu got drunk late at night and slept with some little temptress from who-knows-where!"

Gossip 2: "The regent caught them in the act. In a fit of rage, he brought a pretty boy from a male brothel back to his residence!"

Gossip 3: "That little temptress is also involved with the emperor, and had a crush on General Mu before all this. He must have thrown himself at the general!"

Mu Cangming: I know he likes me. Since something like this has happened, I have to take responsibility for him.

Yan Zexing: I didn't, I haven't, don't make things up.

Gossip crowd: The circles around the imperial capital are so messed up!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

The CEO's Plan to Save a Fallen Young Man (also known as: The Time My Company's CEO Mistook My Side Job for Prostitution)

Pei Mingyi is a new-era CEO who seems aloof and unapproachable, but is actually a warmhearted, upright young man. One day, he discovers that his employee Yu Xiaoyu seems to have some unspeakable secrets:

He frequently sneaks into high-end residential compounds, and never visits the same apartment twice;

He talks on the phone with a mysterious associate, saying, "The biggest taboo in our line of work is catching feelings for a client";

He nervously hides a notebook labeled "Client Requirements" behind his back.

CEO Pei's pupils shake: Is my company going under? Are my employees working as male escorts on the side?!

So CEO Pei launches his plan to save the fallen young man:

He raises his salary, gives him meal vouchers, organizes mental health seminars, and even personally studies A Guide to Correcting Abnormal Sexual Preferences.

But it has little effect, so CEO Pei turns ruthless and deploys the ultimate solution: make him work 996 so he won't have time to be an escort!

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaoyu, who only has a side gig feeding pets, is completely baffled:

Why have employee benefits at the company suddenly gotten so much better?

Why did I win a lifetime meal pass for the company cafeteria at the team-building event?

Why is CEO Pei discussing "abnormal sexual preferences" with me in the company reading room?

Then he discovers the "truth": what goes around comes around, and all these benefits are just a scheme to squeeze more overtime out of the employees?!

At last, overworked Yu Xiaoyu snaps during yet another bout of overtime, and only then finally understands this ridiculous misunderstanding:

Yu Xiaoyu: You're lewd, vile, and filthy-minded!

(He pulls out his notebook and smacks CEO Pei in the face.)

Pei Mingyi: But I've fallen for you.

A seemingly icy, aloof CEO who is a goofy, warmhearted softie inside and afraid of dogs x a kind, sunny little sun who is slow to recognize his own feelings

----Another Upcoming Story----

The Scheming Layers of a Fake Delicate Flower

Lin Sui, clear-eyed and calculating, has a little goal: pretend to be an innocent, delicate flower and hook the notorious playboy Qi Yanxun. Once he's had enough, take the money and run to pay for his younger brother's treatment!

With the serious attitude of a scholar, he studies all kinds of CEO romance novels, masters their tropes, and carefully arranges chance encounters, treating Qi Yanxun like a boss in a game:

Trope One: Meet as an innocent junior student. The CEO's favorite is the resilient delicate flower, so launch a targeted attack.

Trope Two: Meet again as a professional college student. A man at work is at maximum charm, and another wave of contrast is sure to hit.

Trope Three: Take advantage of being close by while keeping your distance. The goal is that push-and-pull feeling.

Schemes are for hooking you. With layer upon layer of tricks, let's see when you'll finally fall!

Little does he know, Qi Yanxun saw through him long ago. He turns around and advances ten years of salary to keep him by his side: "Take a look at the agreement. Are you satisfied?"

What Lin Sui thought would be a "sugar-baby contract" turns into a "wage-slave indenture." He can only maintain his persona and say through tears, "Thank you, Mr. Qi."

When Lin Sui notices that the CEO always seems to be inexplicably showing off around him, as if constantly "trying to seduce" him, he finally realizes...

How is the supposedly notorious playboy a die-hard romantic?

Are the rumored white moonlight and scandalous love interests all helping him out?

Worst of all... why does the chest he's deliberately brushed against while pretending to be pitiful feel more and more addictive to touch?

Congratulations, achievement unlocked: Hooked a sugar daddy, only to get trapped by him instead!

Content warning: The bottom is very calculating and isn't an entirely wholesome character. He approaches the top at first purely for money. The top has an ex, but there is absolutely no substitute romance. Please don't read if that bothers you. This is just an advance preview; the story is being drafted~
