★Blurb for this story↓

Chu Jiubian transmigrated into a book, body and all.

He fell from the sky and landed in the arms of the great villain, the Regent.

Chu Jiubian got a good look at the man holding him.

What a handsome guy.

He couldn’t resist giving his pecs a couple of strokes.

The three-year-old emperor pointed at him in delight. “Wow, a divine big brother!”

Huh? Who said that?

Chu Jiubian turned around and saw the little emperor, along with a whole floor full of kneeling officials.

Realizing what was going on, he felt a chill run down his neck and slowly turned back to the man holding him.

Under the man’s murderous gaze, Chu Jiubian steeled himself and said, “So you’re the tribulation of love in my immortal destiny. I approve.”

He transmigrated into a book and promptly earned himself a prison sentence.

To stay alive, Chu Jiubian had no choice but to babble nonsense and play the part of a god.

While working to gain the Regent’s trust, he secretly used the System to contact and recruit believers, building up his own power.

Before long, “miracles” were popping up across the country.

Crystal-white refined salt, high-yield sweet potatoes, lightweight and convenient paper, as well as cement, rubber...

Without even noticing, Chu Jiubian had gained believers from one end of the country to the other and become the god most worshipped by the common people.

The Regent, who had initially thrown Chu Jiubian in jail, now gently lifted his chin and said with a smile, “If you dare return to heaven, I’ll burn your temples and kill your believers...”

Chu Jiubian covered his mouth. “Shut up, and stop acting like a creep!”

“Never Call Your Rival Your Husband”

Qiu Ting and Zhuang Yanzhou are a top-tier idol who rose through the ranks and a top-tier actor who started out as a child star.

They’re rivals who never acknowledge each other, not even when they pass by. They’ve been openly at odds since childhood.

Their fans are just as hostile, and have spent more than a decade despising each other. They even declared that the sun would rise in the west before their idols ever worked together.

Then the two of them worked together.

It was a dual-male-lead drama, and it even had a romance plot.

The fans: What kind of thawing-out is this? Their necks were practically twisted out of place at the opening ceremony from refusing to look at each other!

#ThoseTwoMakingUp? PigsWillFly#

After the show aired, Zhuang Yanzhou took part in a livestream interview. While promoting the drama, he called the contact pinned at the top of his WeChat.

On the other end, a not-quite-awake Qiu Ting drawled, “Hubby~”

Zhuang Yanzhou froze for half a second, then calmly replied, “Baby.”

Qiu Ting: ...

He’d just been talking nonsense because he was still half asleep. He never expected Zhuang Yanzhou to play along so enthusiastically, much less that people would take it as an official relationship announcement and become a flood of CP fans.

The two were sent on a variety show to sell their brotherly bond and put an end to the rumors that they were involved.

But the more they tried to make it convincing, the stranger it got. Even their respective solo fans went from “My idol is the straightest man in the universe” to “Your idol was the one who seduced mine first.”

Qiu Ting secretly used an alt account to check out the fan creations about them. The more he read, the more ridiculous it seemed. Zhuang Yanzhou had been in love with him for over a decade?

What a joke!

He decided to talk with Zhuang Yanzhou and find a way to clear up the rumors. The other man readily agreed.

So during a livestream interview, Qiu Ting slung an arm around Zhuang Yanzhou’s shoulder and said with a grin, “We’re nothing but bros, as straight as they come. Right?”

He waited, but got no answer. When Qiu Ting turned his head, he saw the man silently lowering his eyes.

Qiu Ting: ?! We’re not bros?
