How Can a Paper Doll Win Someone’s Love?

[Updates whenever the mood strikes!]

[A high self-esteem, occasionally eccentric but direct, universally adored and dazzling beauty of a bottom x fragmented top]

[Anyone who likes the bottom, even if they're a disposable character or a fragment, must be chaste. That's non-negotiable.]

Zhai Hui is the player's exclusive virtual lover in the romance game Interstellar Romance.

The paper person is really made of paper, and the data is real data, but Interstellar Romance isn't really a game.

To be precise, it's a "camera" developed by a low-dimensional world. Zhai Hui is the virtual lover sent out as a paper-person spy.

At the same time, the low-dimensional world will livestream the high-dimensional world from an observer's perspective, broadcasting the situation there and Zhai Hui's activities in real time.

But on his very first day, Zhai Hui realizes he seems to have been deployed by mistake. He hasn't just appeared on one human's phone.

There's a controlling CEO with severe obsessive-compulsive tendencies, his cheerful and sociable CEO brother, a rich second-generation race car driver with a sharp tongue, and a mysterious, cold outsider from another world.

All of them become targets he has to win over.

The obsessive-compulsive CEO is always trying to control Zhai Hui's meals, drinks, and daily life. The cheerful younger brother, a game developer, is always enthusiastically calling him sister-in-law. The unruly race car driver keeps testing the limits, trying to figure out who Zhai Hui really is. The last outsider is the worst of them all: he not only maliciously alters the game, but threatens Zhai Hui and spanks him!

And yet, no matter how many men there are, there's only one Zhai Hui.

Later, after one of them deliberately engineers a clash that brings all four men face-to-face in real life, they all begin making trouble for Zhai Hui in unison. He has no choice but to post leave notices in the game every few days and leave notes saying he's run away from home. In truth, he finishes one man's phone and seamlessly moves on to the next. He's so busy he doesn't even have time to rub away the red marks pinched onto his face by some other man's hands before appearing in front of another man with red-rimmed eyes...

Then one night, Zhai Hui finally gets caught. One by one, the four men discover each other's existence and realize that Zhai Hui isn't just their own exclusive virtual lover.

It turns out that Interstellar Romance is nothing but a scam.

Before Zhai Hui can even figure out what to do, he gives up and decides to hide in the game and do nothing. But one of the men forcibly takes him away and hides him, and Zhai Hui accidentally learns the enormous secret of this world!

--Zhai Hui thinks he's observing this new world, but from the moment he appeared, the order of the people entering the frame had already been reversed.

[One of the fragments is a little crazy, but he won't hurt the bottom.]

[The bottom is cat-coded! A feisty little cat, with zero emotional morality and a bit of a natural-born jerk. He has a small animal's view of love: whoever treats me well is who I'll go with. So there will be misunderstandings where the fragments each think the others are homewreckers.]

[1v1, fragmented top. The virtual lover in the game has nothing to do with the real world. The bottom ends up returning to the true top and falling for him, but before then he won't commit to a real relationship.]

The next book I'll write! Coming soon: Aristocratic Boys' School, but the Mean Campus Beauty. Blurb below:

[A delicate, cool beauty on the outside, a domineering king of the world on the inside x tops]

[Anyone who likes the bottom, whether a top or a disposable character, must be chaste. That's non-negotiable.]

Li Fuyou is a new scholarship student at Jingtu International Private Academy.

On his first day at the school, he secretly swears that one day he'll stand above these pampered elites. He'll make them serve him tea, shine his shoes, and listen to every word he says with fear and deference, especially that guy called Huo Fu.

Oh, and that phony Xu Chengling, too. He'll make that ugly mask of a smile rot right off his face and ruin his reputation!

Li Fuyou's favorite saying is, "Don't look down on a poor young man."

He never expected that in his very first month at the new school, countless students would mockingly call him "Don't look down on the poor campus beauty," using the ridiculous nickname to humiliate him!

Li Fuyou is arrogant and aloof, and never gives these privileged elites the time of day. The first thing he does every day when he returns to his dorm is curse his rich roommate's family with bankruptcy by tomorrow.

The second thing he does is sneak into the bathroom after lights-out to secretly grind for credits.

He always thought he and these privileged elites were mortal enemies. But one day, after getting drunk over a broken heart, he wakes up to discover that his straight-guy innocence has been stolen. His first kiss is gone!

When confronted, the privileged elites all rush to take the blame. Every single one insists he was the one who kissed Li Fuyou, and they even fight until they're bloodied and bruised.

Campus Forum / Private Section

[How many points would you give the new unmentionable scholarship student at Jingtu?]

[He's breathtakingly good-looking, and his personality is breathtakingly awful. No points.]

[I don't get why so many people like him. I don't understand it, and I don't respect it.]

[...You two from Class A, don't make me dig up dirt on you and find out you were the ones fighting over the campus beauty's classes again next time :)]

Reader's Guide:

1. A delicate beauty of a bottom, with a cute contrast between his looks and his cold expression.

2. The classic aristocratic-school campus-beauty trope. I'm trash for this, so:p

3. 1v1 in stages. The true top hasn't been decided. The bottom won't like every top, because he's straight. The relationships are purely transactional.

4. Only handsome tops and muscular tops.

The blurb may be revised before the novel begins, but the core campus-beauty-bottom trope won't change.

Theme: Perseverance brings victory; hard work leads to success.
