Blurb:

Zhao Chi is a popular actor who's just about made it into the top tier, but he turned down offers from major directors because he was too busy gaming.

Other people's Weibo feeds are full of promotional ads and selfies.

His is full of gameplay highlights and new in-game outfits.

Other people act and take roles to become superstars.

He acts and takes roles to earn money for gaming.

His fans are consequently nicknamed the Buddhist Beads.

On a forum, they make fun of themselves:

"Even if Chi-ge marries into a rich family because of gaming one day and retires from showbiz, I'll accept it~"

"Before he retires, I just want him to post a selfie. Stop posting those game character outfits styled with your god-awful taste!"

"With taste like that, do you really think his photography skills could be any good?"

A few days later...

A post shot to the top of the trending topics.

#Zhao Chi Really Did Marry into a Rich Family!!!#

"Bad news: The brat really did marry into a rich family. Good news: He hasn't retired from showbiz, sob sob sob."

Later, as the topic continued to trend, a selfie made its way to the top as well.

A distinctively jointed hand touched a man's Adam's apple. Zhao Chi's handsome face, unseen by the public for ages, rested against a broad, well-defined chest.

The expression was suggestive, the pose was suggestive. The whole picture practically screamed suggestive.

Caption: It's official. Don't be jealous. He's mine~

All the Buddhist Beads: "Aaaaaah!! How did you get so lucky, you brat?! Aaaaaah!!"

#Now that you've posted a selfie, how about some bedroom pics!#

Zhao Chi glanced at the marks on his body. These bedroom pics? No way he could post those~ Covers mouth, bashful.jpg

As the heir to the Chu family, Chu Fushen had enjoyed a life of luxury from childhood. There was nothing he couldn't get if he wanted it.

Then there was someone he didn't want, but had to get anyway.

His uncle produced an agreement his mother had made him sign: he had to make sure Chu Fushen got married before the company could be handed over to him.

Chu Fushen: "..."

Chu Fushen: "What's so great about getting married?"

Uncle: "I don't know, but you have to get married!"

Chu Fushen: "I like men."

Uncle: "???"

Chu Fushen glanced at the pop-up ad on his computer and added, "And I like men who are a little improper, shoot ads all over the place, are somewhat famous, don't do any real work, and are older than me."

Uncle: "???"

Chu Fushen sighed. "See? You won't accept it."

The next day, his uncle tossed Zhao Chi's profile onto his desk. "A little improper, shoots ads all over the place, somewhat famous, doesn't do any real work, and older than you. Your type. Get married!"

Chu Fushen: "..."

Chu Fushen: "Are you so conservative that you've come all the way around to being open-minded?"

And so, a few days later, he married the man who was a little improper, shot ads all over the place, was somewhat famous, didn't do any real work, and was older than him.

But he found that this life wasn't bad at all.

After his marriage, President Chu went to work bright-eyed and cheerful every day, much more outgoing than before.

Then one day, his beloved wife leaned against him while gaming and asked, "Why did you choose me back then?"

Chu Fushen: "..."

Because you're improper, shoot ads all over the place, are somewhat famous, don't do any real work, and are older than me...

In that moment, President Chu, who'd always had life under control, was done for.

Marriage first, love later. A sweet romance.

A laid-back actor who only wants to play games, the bottom

A brooding, powerful rich heir forced into marriage, the top

Please add my next book, The Silly Bottom Loses His Memory and Thinks He's a Scum Top, to your library, ovo

Blurb:

Zhou Yisui loses his memory and quickly figures out that he's transmigrated into a book, where he's a thoroughly despicable scum top.

He reaches this conclusion based on the "diary" beside his hospital bed when he wakes up.

The first page is dripping with the melodrama of a trashy romance novel, and the protagonist is also named Zhou Yisui.

He suddenly understands!

This isn't his diary, and he isn't actually Zhou Yisui. This book is the original novel of the world he's transmigrated into.

In the original novel, he's a man who likes men, a notorious womanizer and a scum top.

In the book, he'll have a tumultuous romance with the poor protagonist bottom, Jiang Yousong.

And it's tumultuous entirely because he's a scum top!

At first, he relentlessly flirts with and pursues the protagonist bottom. But just when the protagonist bottom finally falls for him and begins to confide his true feelings, he gets bored and keeps rubbing salt into the poor guy's wounds.

Then, when the protagonist bottom has lost all hope and resolutely leaves him, he finally realizes how much he regrets it. But by then, it's too late...

Years later, the two meet again. The protagonist bottom, who once had nothing, is now worth hundreds of millions.

Looking at the unattainable white moonlight of his dreams, Zhou Yisui, the scum top, is overcome with regret. To win the protagonist bottom back, he puts on a whole show of crying, throwing a fit, and threatening to kill himself, chasing his ex through a living hell of regret.

He closes the book, realizing he has to follow the plot or he might never get out.

So Zhou Yisui, who has no memories at all, hides the diary.

On his first day after leaving the hospital, he transfers to Jiang Yousong's school and becomes his classmate.

Zhou Yisui: Great, everything's going according to the plot.

At their first meeting, he spots a boy in the corner who's clearly being ostracized and realizes that Jiang Yousong really does have the kind of face that could lead girls astray, just like the book said.

He also looks impossible to mess with, radiating the world-weary vibe of a total B-king.

But Zhou Yisui knows that he's often cornered and extorted in the school bathroom after class, and that his delicate body gets sick every few days.

As the scum top in the early part of the story, Zhou Yisui naturally volunteers to become Jiang Yousong's deskmate. The teacher asks him several times if he's sure, and his classmates look like they have something to say, but Zhou Yisui firmly strides toward the corner.

Jiang Yousong, enjoying his quiet corner of the classroom, looks up at the person walking toward him. That handsome, bad-boy face wears a sunny, ingratiating, and rather foolish smile. He instinctively tightens his grip on his pen.

From that day on, some outrageous conversations can always be heard from the corner of their classroom.

"Song-song, studying so hard must be exhausting. Come lie in my arms~"

"Song-song, you're so aloof. Want to come watch some little comics in my bed tonight?"

"Song-song... Song-song..." "Crack."

Unable to take it anymore, Jiang Yousong snaps his pen in half and pins the guy beside him against the wall, kissing him. At last, he gets a moment of peace.

Later, to stick to the original story and keep the plot on track, Zhou Yisui soon reaches the "I'm bored with you" phase.

That day, he tells Jiang Yousong that he's bored with him, and that they should never have anything to do with each other again.

Jiang Yousong: ...

One day, Zhou Yisui, thinking he'd completed his task, accidentally flips to the last page of the diary.

At the bottom of the page, a name is scrawled: Zhou Jianjian.

Huh? This damn thing is actually a fanfic written by his little sister, Zhou Jianjian?!!

Meanwhile, Jiang Yousong is still wondering what Zhou Yisui is up to now when he catches sight of the guy, who left only two days ago, sneaking back and climbing through his window.

"..."

He thinks: That guy really is crazy.

But the next second, he reaches out the window and pulls the crazy guy into his arms.

A ridiculous, flirtatious bottom with amnesia and a bizarre train of thought, who mistakenly thinks he's transmigrated into a book

VS

A cool, B-king top who only wants to study, but is so distracted by the bottom's outrageous flirting that he has no choice but to deal with him

Please add my upcoming novel, General, but Transmigrated into a Delicate Little Drama Queen, to your library.

Blurb:

In his previous life, the great general Ji Qingyan gave his heart to the wrong person. After his entire family was sentenced to death, he transmigrated into a young actor in the entertainment industry with the same name.

The internet is full of bizarre videos edited by his antis, and the drama queen of a nobody is impossible to cancel.

His agency built him a persona as someone too delicate to take care of himself, then signed him up for a travel variety show.

Then, in front of the cameras, he split ten pounds of firewood with one chop of his hand.

Teammates: ...

Antis: ...

Ordinary netizens: You call that too delicate to take care of himself?

When his manager warns him, the words go in one ear and out the other. The next thing he does is grab a passing thief and haul him straight to the police station.

The person whose belongings were stolen: ...

Teammates: ...

His manager, who'd just been threatening him: gulp.jpg

#Help! The drama queen stopped acting up and suddenly got so manly~#

Ji Qingyan doesn't know much about how society works, and he couldn't care less when public opinion online starts to turn in his favor.

He wants nothing and needs nothing. Once he's famous enough to have money to live on, he chooses to retire.

Right away, Weibo explodes.

"Please, Ji Qingyan, come back already!!"

"I admit I was putting on an act before, but bro, the entertainment industry can't go on without you!!! We were wrong!"

"Bro, come back already! Without you, I'm like a fish out of water!"

But Ji Qingyan ignores the pleas from netizens and fans all the same.

Just when everyone thinks they'll never see Ji Qingyan in public again...

A guest on a dating show accidentally wanders into a villa owned by a certain film emperor. The guests are happily showing off their lovey-dovey moments to the cameras.

Suddenly, a lazy voice comes from upstairs. "Xiao Jiyeyi, did you wash my underwear? I'm out of clean ones."

Everyone looks up at once and sees Ji Qingyan, who disappeared ages ago, wearing a loose, rumpled set of pajamas.

Dense red marks cover his collarbone. His overlong hair falls across his shoulders, his eyes are alluring and flushed, and he looks at them with the contempt of a king.

Everyone goes wild.

#Xiao Jiyeyi, How Could You Keep Him All to Yourself!!!#

Weibo explodes again!

"I knew there was something off about the way Xiao Jiyeyi looked at my wife on that travel show!!!"

"What kind of decent man is always acting delicate and weak and needing someone to take care of him? Ji Qingyan, don't let him fool you!!"

"Xiao Jiyeyi, you absolute dog!!!"

"If those guests hadn't gone to the wrong villa, we'd have been kept in the dark forever!!"

Meanwhile, on camera, Xiao Jiyeyi lies with his head on Ji Qingyan's chest, reading the trending comments. His grin is harder to suppress than an AK, and his voice is dripping with feigned innocence. "Gege, they're accusing me unfairly."

Ji Qingyan pauses, then pats his back to comfort him. "It's fine. I believe you."

Later, to comfort Xiao Jiyeyi, Ji Qingyan reluctantly logs into Weibo again and posts a clarification:

"Jiyeyi didn't lie to me. Don't misunderstand him."

The guests, who have eyes and can clearly see Xiao Jiyeyi has Ji Qingyan wrapped around his little finger: "..."

They grind their teeth to dust.

A few minutes later,

#Xiao Jiyeyi, You Little Green Tea!#

#Ji Qingyan, You're So Easy to Fool!#

#The Dating Show Guests Have It Rough#

and other tags shoot to the top of the trending topics.

They stay there for three days and three nights.

An innocent, lazy, gorgeous general, the bottom
