After Transmigrating into a Book, the Marshal Shipped Couples So Hard He Turned Himself Gay

One moment, Wen Jiyu, the youngest marshal in the Human Federation, was blowing himself up along with the insect queen, finally ending the insect disaster in human history.

The next moment, the famous beauty Wooden Block was reborn in the body of a minor character with the same name, with a chubby little kid plastering his face all over.

Wen Jiyu: ...Guys, let's pick up a kid.

The iron-blooded marshal might be a little blockhead, but he was a blockhead who loved reading power fantasies. A mere transmigration? No big deal!

Young Marshal Wen let out a cold laugh. He'd seen this trope plenty of times! So, which was it? The broken-engagement trope or the reborn-and-rising-to-the-top trope? Just tell him the mission, and no matter what kind of world it was, he could definitely...

Hold on. Maybe he couldn't!

Nobody told him the first step of transmigrating was getting a husband, and not just any husband, but the original body's scheming old fox of a husband!

But Wen Jiyu felt like things were about to get even less manageable.

His nemesis: Since we transmigrated into a book and can't change the plot, we can't get divorced for now.

Wen Jiyu: ...:)

The old fox: We're not the protagonists. We're just background characters.

Wen Jiyu: Whatever. I'm the protagonist of my own life... Hold on. Isn't that top-tier star acting kind of suspicious?

The old fox: ?

Wen Jiyu: !! They're real!

The old fox: ???

Netizens felt that Wen Jiyu seemed a little different.

He was more lively and energetic, which was a good thing, but wasn't he overcorrecting a little? Those eyes, once shimmering with a vulnerable sheen, now flashed with a cold light. Every now and then, one look from him across the room was enough to make netizens' knees wobble.

Netizen: This can't be real.

Netizen: ...But it's somehow even more appealing.

Netizen: Not sure yet. Let's keep watching!!

The more they watched, the more they liked him. What a pretty, adorable new wife! He could even ship couples in person for me!

An old fox watching the screen too: .

The old fox: (slowly appears) (slowly puts an arm around Wen Jiyu)

Netizen:! I'm kind of shipping you two now!

Wen Jiyu: ???

CP: A delicate-looking beauty who's actually a solid block of iron, the shou (Wen Jiyu) x a cunning old fox who can plan for every eventuality, but gets driven half-mad by his wife, the gong (Qi Ce)

Why does the gong have the surname Qi this time?... Because I kept getting it wrong before, QAQ

Next story: Building a Nation from Scratch

Wen Rong had always been a good-for-nothing. After dying from staying up too late, he became a useless System.

The previous useless System had more ambition than ability. It bought into the grand promises of the main System and accepted the monumental mission of building a nation from zero. Then it bound itself to 999 Hosts in a row, and not one of them survived.

In the end, after failing too many times, it was sent back for reconstruction.

Wen Rong didn't want to be sent back for reconstruction or clean up this massive mess. But just as he was lying flat and waiting to die, he saw his only good friend get hit by a car and sent flying.

Wen Rong: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

Wen Rong: Sign him up, fast!!

There was a chance of succeeding at the mission. If he didn't bind his friend, though, his friend would really die!

Wen Rong: Step one of building a nation: take out a loan to carve a radish into a jade seal for my good friend.

The gong's POV:

Xie Wude had been cold-hearted and indifferent his whole life. The only light he'd ever had was someone he'd met in high school.

But he'd never imagined that before he could slowly win Wen Rong over, his light would die.

Then, while driving back in a state of despair and unease, he himself was killed when an illegally driven truck crashed into him.

For some reason, he was bound to a System from who-knows-where and told to build a nation from a wasteland.

Xie Wude, coldly: I can't build a nation. Let me die. I want my wife.

Then he received the reward for the System successfully binding him: a jade seal carved from a radish.

Xie Wude: ...? Wait!

Why does this look... like my wife carved it!

Xie Wude: What did you just say? Build a nation, right? Let's do it! I'll build something huge for my wife!

Guide:

CP: A shou who seems delicate and helpless but is actually capable of everything x a Northeast China golden-shaded cat gong

The gong sometimes breaks into Northeastern dialect (he's an honest guy.jpg), and the two of them might even start speaking it together.
