After My Shadow Puppet Came to Life, I Became Famous Performing Web Novels

Tips: The story's fate has changed again! I don't feel the new plot has broken any new ground, so I'll continue once inspiration strikes. Thank you to all my darlings for your support >0<

What happens when a web-novel master happens to have a shadow-puppet-theater golden finger?

Pei Jiuheng (Heng, second tone): ...Thanks for asking. I'm putting on a full selection of modern web novels for the ancients: rebirth, transmigrating into a book, face-slapping scumbags, and infinite flow.

The unfavored legitimate son of the prime minister's family is forced into a marriage in place of a vicious white lotus and sent to a remote town to lie low. By accident, he also gains a golden finger System that will kill him if he doesn't work hard.

Pei Jiuheng, who accidentally transmigrated here: ...Whatever. I'm going to lie flat.jpg

With shadow puppets that can act on their own and a music troupe whose playing, singing, and dancing are second to none, Pei Jiuheng picks up his old trade and starts writing scripts.

And so...

"Have you heard? That shadow-puppet troupe in the east of the city is putting on a new show!"

"What... What are 'After I Became a Villainous Scholar' and 'The Abandoned Daughter's Rebirth' supposed to be??"

Beneath the hazy lamplight, vivid scenes of every kind of life leap into view. With pounding drumbeats and plaintive singing, the ancient, romantic art of shadow puppetry brings a host of brand-new stories to life.

The ancients are deeply shaken, utterly enthralled, and completely hooked... Okay, this is great.

The frail, gloomy, and bullied heir of Prince Jin's household is forced into a marriage in place of an ambitious concubine-born son and sent to a remote town to lie low. Then, by chance, he sees a breathtaking shadow-puppet show.

The heir, who is pretending to be sick and weak, is delighted. He slaps the table and says, "Who owns this troupe? I want to invest!"

And then the two men who were both forced into substitute marriages meet.

And as they spend time together... they discover that they were substituted into the very same marriage??

One-on-one, happy ending

Pretends to be a delicate white lotus, goofy, chuuni, and a ranting straight man, the shou (Pei) x Pretends to be sick and weak, gentle, chuuni, and an affectionate clingy type, foxlike beauty but a big puppy, the gong (Qi)

1. A lighthearted, sweet story of face-slapping and taking down scumbags :D

2. Please point out anything that seems off! (Heart)

3. The gong is a devoted fan of the shadow-puppet troupe's owner (?).
