Novel blurb

A secret crush comes true ○ A sweet bedtime treat ○ Campus ○ Mutual pining ○ Both take the initiative

★ A cold, top-ranked student × a hotheaded school bully

★ A seemingly aloof, cocky, devoted, two-faced flirt of a top × a seemingly obedient big boy who is "too weak to look after himself," but can take on a whole group

As soon as the semester began, the whole school was buzzing: the top student in the business school and the top student in the mathematics department had been rivals and sworn enemies in high school, but the business student was always crushed by the math student!

But the truth was that Jiang Tong, the business school's top student, had secretly loved Yu Jin, the mathematics department's top student, throughout high school.

He did whatever it took to catch up with him.

At the freshman orientation ceremony, Jiang Tong, who had ranked near the bottom of his year, passionately challenged the top student and made a bold declaration: "Yu Jin, I'm challenging you! The top spot in the year will be mine!"

Jiang Tong was a notorious school bully, a poor student, and a troublemaker. After falling in love with Yu Jin at first sight, he studied desperately and soared to first place in his year.

But Yu Jin gave Jiang Tong a zero on an essay that was actually a love letter, delivering a crushing blow. Jiang Tong's secret crush ended before he had even confessed.

At university, Jiang Tong decided to hide his feelings, have nothing more to do with Yu Jin, and become a lonely king who loved him in secret.

Who could have guessed that Yu Jin, once a cocky, cool guy, would suddenly change his tune and start chasing after Jiang Tong?

When Jiang Tong was thirsty, Yu Jin handed him water.

When Jiang Tong's legs went weak, Yu Jin rubbed them.

*

Yu Jin, the top student in his year, had a secret crush on Jiang Tong, who ranked near the bottom. No one knew.

He secretly turned his monthly exam essay into a love letter.

He ran laps around the entire basketball court like an idiot just to watch Jiang Tong play basketball.

He had a secret account that no one knew about, with Jiang Tong as its only contact.

*

One day, during Truth or Dare.

Host: "Truth or dare?"

Jiang Tong: "Dare."

Host: "Confess to someone here."

Jiang Tong looked at Yu Jin. "I have a crush on you. That's the truth, not a dare."

After the crowd dispersed, Yu Jin pulled Jiang Tong into a storage room. In the cramped space, their eyes met. "Little brother, I've had a crush on you for a long time. Guess, is that the truth or a dare?"

★ As is customary: 1v1, both pure, happy ending.

★ You don't have to tell me if you're dropping the story. You really don't. You don't.

"The Immortal Venerable Uses 996 to 'Pamper' the Demon Venerable" (Transmigrating into a Book)

A loyal dog top who constantly overthinks and convinces himself he's in love × a cool, aloof beauty with a teasing, seductive air

Hua Yuran, a born workaholic, died from working overtime and transmigrated into the body of a cold, beautiful Immortal Venerable destined to die young. Fortunately, he was bound to a survival System.

System: As long as the Host diligently trains a young man named Shi Shujuan before the Demon Venerable awakens, the Host can stay alive.

Looking at the Shi Shujuan he had found, Hua Yuran decided to... first draw up a plan to help his first disciple ascend and save his life.

Get up at the mao hour every day and rest at the zi hour. After work... ahem, after training, write a log and report your progress.

Write a 3,000-character weekly summary, and prepare a monthly PPT report on your training results, along with goals for the next month!

(The boss's performative bureaucracy.)

Anyone who fails to meet their monthly targets will lose 500 spirit stones. (The boss's exploitation.)

Anyone who exceeds their targets will receive a verbal commendation at the morning meeting. (The boss's empty promises.)

Anyone who falls behind will receive a verbal reprimand at the morning meeting. (The boss's psychological manipulation.)

Work eight days, rest one. (The boss's concept of time.)

After finishing the survival plan, Hua Yuran was very pleased and decided to implement this method across the entire sect!

(If I've had to weather the rain, everyone else should too.)

System: Even a donkey on a production team doesn't work like this.

Hua Yuran: What do you know? This is an upgraded version of the ultimate workaholic's 996 system! This method will definitely keep me alive!

Under Hua Yuran's devoted training (relentless exploitation), the sect ranked in the top ten at the Immortal Alliance Tournament.

Shi Shujuan: "Master, I came first this time. Can I get a different verbal commendation?"

Hua Yuran: "A different... mmph!"

Why did his perfectly good disciple suddenly turn gay?!

Before Hua Yuran could react, the System's alarm suddenly blared: Host! Something's wrong with your trainee! The person in front of you is your mortal enemy, the Demon Venerable!

Hua Yuran's vision went black as he looked at Shi Shujuan above him, his eyes moist and his clothes half-open.

Was it still possible to run?

System: The System recommends that the Host try a different way to survive, like dual cultivation. It's great!

① My next novel will be "Bad Kid, Can I Hold You in My Arms?"

Mutual salvation ○ A secret crush comes true ○ Sweet romance

★ A seemingly gentle, refined artist who is actually a scheming, two-faced flirt of a top × a seemingly unruly, unapproachable, sensitive and insecure bottom who is actually a black-hearted wolf in sheep's clothing

Lu Shengyu first met Song Huaming when his adoptive father had beaten him so badly he was afraid to go home.

It was drizzling that day. Song Huaming came to paint on location with a drawing board on his back and an oil-paper umbrella in hand.

This "hypocritical" artist asked him, "Bad kid, can I give you a hug?"

Lu Shengyu thought he was unbearably fake and coldly replied, "Please, great artist, keep your misplaced sympathy to yourself."

The second time Lu Shengyu saw Song Huaming, he was still in a sorry state.

He was covered in grime, bruises, and wounds. His shin was broken and bleeding.

Lu Shengyu looked at the high-and-mighty artist with contempt.

But Song Huaming crouched in front of him, opened his arms, and asked, "Will you come with me? If you will, give me a hug."

From then on, a ray of light seemed to break into Lu Shengyu's dark life.

He no longer heard endless insults or suffered sudden beatings.

Instead, he heard Song Huaming say, "Give me a hug," and felt the warmth of his broad embrace.

A year later, on Lu Shengyu's birthday, Song Huaming held a cake and opened his arms. "Would you consider letting me be your boyfriend? If you would, then come over and give me a hug, little Lu."

★ As is customary: 1v1, both pure, happy ending.

② Coming soon: "His Highness the Crown Prince Is Pretending to Be Good Again"

Court intrigue ○ A groveling pursuit of his wife ○ Younger man

★ A seemingly simple, goofy crown prince who is actually vindictive, calculating, and scheming × a seemingly refined gentleman who is actually a cultured scoundrel, ruthless, and devastatingly beautiful painter

Jing Xingzhi was once the highly esteemed crown prince of the Ji Kingdom, but when his nation fell, he became a prisoner.

To avenge the fall of his nation and his family's deaths, Jing Xingzhi disguised himself as a refined, elegant court painter.

Jing Xingzhi deliberately approached Qi Junheng, a clueless, foolish former crown prince.

He led him out of the Cold Palace.

He guided him into government affairs.

He helped him resist the powerful.

He even gave his life for him.

Jing Xingzhi gradually tore down Qi Junheng's defenses and claimed the foolish crown prince's sincere affection for himself alone.

Just as he expected, half a year later, Qi Junheng rebelled for his sake.

On the night of the coup, Jing Xingzhi led troops to surround the palace.

He thought he would see the foolish crown prince weep bitterly, or fly into helpless rage as his beautiful dream shattered.

He had even planned to imprison the man in his bedchamber day and night and teach him all about the treachery of human nature.

Instead, Qi Junheng laughed. His smile was wicked, his expression dazzling, and finally he burst into hearty laughter.

"Surely you didn't think I actually believed you, sir?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Xingzhi's troops were surrounded.

Overnight, Jing Xingzhi became Qi Junheng's prisoner, shackled by a long iron chain around his ankle and confined to the emperor's bedchamber.

Qi Junheng lifted a hand and drew back the curtain. Dressed in imperial yellow, he smiled radiantly. "Sir, the night is long."

★ As is customary: 1v1, both pure, happy ending.
