The main story is complete. Extras will be updated as the rankings change. The first extra is for anyone who likes horror. My personal favorites are at the very bottom.
Ji Qinglin was unemployed and looking for work on a recruitment app when a short job posting popped up. Its red lettering stood out sharply.
[Xishan Funeral Home urgently needs a staff member.]
[Daily pay: 10,000. Work one day, rest the next. Six types of insurance and two housing funds. Huge insurance policy. Meals and lodging included.]
[Working hours: 0:00-8:00]
10,000 a day?!
Ji Qinglin swallowed. The god of wealth had addled his brain, and he submitted an application.
On his first day, there was nothing at his workstation except a small, bright-red booklet.
The words on the cover read: Funeral Home Employee Handbook
Funeral Home Employee Handbook
1. Uphold national policy and promote cremation. Hummocks must not be allowed to stand near the funeral home. If you see any, ignore them and keep walking in the opposite direction. Do not look back under any circumstances. Do not look back.
2. The funeral home accepts electronic payments. Employees should encourage customers to pay electronically. If a customer insists on paying cash, take the counterfeit-detection lamp from the drawer and check each bill one by one. If the words "Bank of Heaven" appear on the cash, smile politely and advise the customer to take it back.
3. Believe firmly in Marxist materialism. Unprocessed bodies are stored in the freezers, with a red ribbon tied around their wrists. If you see someone with a red ribbon tied around their wrist greeting you, respond in a friendly manner and silently repeat: "Prosperity, democracy, civility, and harmony."
4. The restrooms are frequently under repair. Employees should use a restroom with a "Under Repair" sign. If there isn't one, leave immediately. If it's urgent and you accidentally go inside, ignore the bare, bluish-gray feet that suddenly appear beneath the stall divider and the arms raised in the mirror while you wash your hands. Don't scream. Leave quietly.
5. Unplug the phone line when you are off duty. If it still rings after you unplug it, ignore it. Do not answer.
6. When you open a body bag, if the corpse suddenly opens its eyes and grins, and a voice asks, "What is my epitaph?", do not call emergency services. Hold your breath and think carefully.
44. Respect life. Everyone is responsible.
On the nth day of the job.
In the pitch-black funeral home, small hummocks covered every direction, glowing with an eerie green light.
Ji Qinglin: ???
Which way am I supposed to go?!
One-on-one romance, infinite-flow.
1. Inspired by a rumor on a certain short-video app that funeral homes pay 8,000 a night. I didn't use "funeral home employee handbook" in the title because it felt a little strange, like a crematorium for chasing your wife.
2. The blurb has been screenshotted and saved.
3. The first grave, the tenth grave, the third grave, the fifth grave, and the extra chapter are the ones I'm really happy with. Aaaaah, why didn't I think of this while writing the main story? (Not in any particular order.)
Kind, beautiful angels, please add my upcoming stories to your reading lists.
First book: After Being Reborn as the Hated Fake Young Master
Jiang Yuran was a school genius at the affiliated high school. He'd just sincerely asked the student in second place, whom he'd beaten by dozens of points, "Can you tell me how you managed to lose so many points?"
Maybe the second-place student's resentment was too strong, because Jiang Yuran transmigrated into a fake young master in a school novel.
The fake young master was born into a wealthy family, a spoiled rich kid, and of course he was a poor student.
The novel's male lead, the real young master Pei Zhixue, was a paragon of grace and virtue, exceptionally gifted, and had held the top spot in his grade for years. He was beloved by everyone even before his wealthy family was revealed.
The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
The fake young master disliked Pei Zhixue from the start and antagonized him at every turn. When their identities were eventually switched, the fake young master still refused to change. He only got worse, doing everything he could to get his parents' attention, from cheating to framing others. In the end, he died alone on the side of the road.
Jiang Yuran arrived just as the original character was caught cheating. He held up his exam paper. "You need to cheat on questions this easy? You're even worse than the student in second place."
Everyone: Is he in shock?
The student in second place: ?
Jiang Yuran chuckled. At the second exam, he landed right in second place.
Everyone: ?
The student who was now in third place, formerly second: ?
Jiang, with a terminal case of wanting to be top, who'd never ranked second before, stared at the name above his: Pei Zhixue. "Fine. Just you wait."
At the next exam, Jiang Yuran claimed first place.
Then Pei Zhixue took first place again at the exam after that.
Jiang Yuran, who'd never had a rival, was fired up with burning competitive spirit.
Bystanders: Does anyone remember this is a story about a real and fake young master?
The student in third place: Does anyone remember I exist?
*
Although Pei Zhixue seemed to live a life of effortless grace, only he knew how cold-hearted he was. He simply thought there were far too many boring things in life.
He wasn't interested in studying, didn't care if he was the real young master, and was even less interested in the fake young master who was always up to something.
Until one day, he saw the name Jiang Yuran above his on the honor roll.
He smiled. These days, who didn't have a top-rank obsession?
*
In the end...
Pei Zhixue pinned him against the wall and asked softly, "I like students who rank first. How about you?"
Jiang Yuran was confused. "I like them too."
Pei Zhixue smiled faintly and kissed him. "You said yes. We're together now."
Jiang Yuran: ???
Second book: After Switching Souls with My Boyfriend's Roommate
[One-line blurb]
Lin Jinran switched souls with his boyfriend's roommate.
Then he discovered two things:
First, his boyfriend was gentle and considerate toward someone else, treating them so well it was practically cheating.
Second, the person he'd switched souls with, Chu Changpei, the legendary top student and aloof campus heartthrob... seemed to have a crush on him.
There's also a third book: The Cannon Fodder Beauty Awakens
Ji Xingmian was a minor cannon fodder character who appeared only in passing in countless small worlds, born at dawn and dead by dusk.
Then one day, he decided he didn't want to live like that anymore.
[School story about a real and fake young master: A country bumpkin from the countryside is acknowledged by the Ji family as their second son and gets in as a transfer student at the province's top high school through connections.
The students don't like the real young master. The fake young master, on the other hand, is as graceful as an orchid and sits securely at the top of the grade. Then the monthly exam results come out: the transfer student gets full marks in math and science, and only loses points on the essay and English composition. One day, the transfer student takes off his hat and mask. His stunning face leaves everyone spellbound.]
[Showbiz: Ji Xingmian is a terrible actor, sings off-key, moves stiffly, and has a face caked in makeup, ugly beyond belief. He also chases clout and puts everyone else down. He's hated by everyone, with no fans at all.
Until a livestream where he removes his makeup. Black hair, pale skin, striking features, and a cool, refined air. Not a trace of makeup, yet breathtakingly beautiful.]
Ji Xingmian: Being alive is much better.
One-on-one romance, satisfying and indulgent, with a beloved-by-all protagonist.
Theme: Cherish life.
Um? Why doesn't it feel right? [Eating Melon] The dream in front of me must be foreshadowing. I feel like Qingqing also has some unknown identity and experience.
In the end, I didn't understand... What is the relationship between the two? Was Wen Zhai seriously ill, had he met Ji when he was a child, or had the two of them talked? Ji died in the first place, so what happened to Zheng? In the end, how did we live and die? Why do we feel that nothing has been clearly explained? [Hold your chin]
Damn, these are the best parents. It's so disgusting. They usually dress so well. No wonder Xuexue only likes her brother and not her parents.
I feel that there are some contradictions between what the author wrote and what the author mentioned. In this chapter, isn't Sui Yue'an already about to marry the Mu family? Liu also showed anger, but Sui Yue'an had no intention of changing, and Sui didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so didn't he just agree with his wife? He also thought that even if he married a wife, he could still maintain a relationship with Liu, and he kept a close relationship with Liu and had a girlfriend at the same time. To be honest, this kind of behavior was really disgusting, and he clearly liked Liu, but he acted as if he had suffered a great loss by being with Liu, as if he endured his nausea before agreeing to maintain a relationship with Liu, belittling Liu in words and actions, a typical PUA, enjoying Liu's kindness to him while insulting Liu's personality, a typical scumbag
"Du Jiangran" gave the author a big bug~
This should be Jiang Songhan, right?
"Those who love cospaly" will give the author a lot of trouble~

Has the teacher given up?
