A Livestreamer's Guide to Antique Appraisal

I discussed this with my editor, and the book will become paid on March 13. Chapters 1 through 32 will be free, and everything after that will require payment. Please don't purchase chapters you've already read!

Coming soon: I Awakened a Magnetic-Allure Constitution and Now a Pack of Mad Dogs Are After Me. Synopsis below.

Lovelorn, devoted dog-like pursuer x easygoing, gentle dog trainer

Ye Zhihe transmigrated into a novel as a cannon-fodder character, an obscure celebrity whose opportunities and gigs were all stolen by Su Yu, a super rookie who had debuted at the same time.

.

By the time he vanished from the entertainment industry, his contract had expired, and he discovered that he was actually the lost young master of the wealthy Su family.

.

After returning to the Su family, the original Ye Zhihe discovered that his parents didn't love him, his older brother didn't care for him, and his older sister looked down on him. His place had long since been taken by someone else: Su Yu!

.

Everything he did was inevitably used as a contrast to the good and virtuous protagonist, Su Yu, and he was relentlessly face-slapped.

.

The original Ye Zhihe couldn't take it and recklessly brought about his own ruin, framing Su Yu and ending up behind bars himself.

Ye Zhihe, who had been bound to a livestreamed antiques-appraisal System in his previous life: What does any of that have to do with me!

.

Isn't a blue-and-white vase with a dragon design gorgeous? Or a famille rose vase decorated with longevity symbols?

What about the imperial revolving vase decorated with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, or the Jingtai imperial cloisonne box with a lotus design?

.

With so many antiques, there's bound to be one you fall for!

Without even realizing it, Ye Zhihe became famous through his livestreamed appraisals, recovering one lost national treasure after another.

He even became a celebrated collector in the antiques world, a lucky charm for the cultural relics industry, and a rising star in calligraphy!

.

His net worth quietly surpassed that of the entire Su family.

His wealth, status, and talent left the Su family far behind.

.

From Ye Zhihe's very first livestream, Xiang Jingtong became his number-one fan.

.

After successfully becoming a fan, Xiang Jingtong kept thinking about one very serious question: How could he marry his lovely darling and bring him home?

.

Then one day during a livestream, fans suddenly noticed that the usually mild-mannered yet haughty Mr. Ye had a love bite on the inside of his pale wrist, marking someone else's claim. The number-one supporter announced that he and Mr. Ye were together!

.

The fans turned on him in unison: Give our Mr. Ye back!

Xiang Jingtong: No, no, no! He's mine!

Ye Zhihe: ...

.

P.S.:

1. The pursuing partner is completely love-struck. Don't mind him, he sometimes does some incredible things.

2. Parallel world, with no real-life counterparts.

3. Some antiques knowledge was researched online, so there may be factual errors.

4. Receiving partner: Ye Zhihe. Pursuing partner: Xiang Jingtong.

5. There may not be much romance. When there is, it'll be a cheesy little sweet romance.

6. The writing style is fairly understated, with not much face-slapping.

7. There's a lot of research to do, and I don't have any chapters saved up. Updates will be irregular or depend on the rankings.

Coming soon: I Awakened a Magnetic-Allure Constitution and Now a Pack of Mad Dogs Are After Me

After getting dumped by the "girlfriend" in his game, Chu Yunyu ran into a new problem.

It seemed he'd developed an extraordinary constitution.

Scene One:

During the day, Yan Jingming was a finance professor at the lectern, his white shirt buttoned all the way to the top. He was strict and meticulous, his narrow eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses as still as a deep, ancient well.

But at night, in a dark alley, Yan Jingming pinned him firmly against the wall. His tall nose brushed the back of Chu Yunyu's ear, and a husky laugh filled the silence. "Baby, you smell so good."

Scene Two:

At the school gala, senior student Mu Yanqing's long, pale fingers gently brushed the piano keys. His cool, noble features held an elegance and serenity that seemed otherworldly.

But on countless nights, amid the steam in the bathroom, those same hands that pressed hard against the piano would lift his damp hair from his forehead, revealing eyes as dark and brooding as thick ink.

In the mist, he would smell Chu Yunyu's personal belongings intently, then call out in a voice as soft as if floating among the clouds, "A-Yu..."

Scene Three:

At the basketball gym, Xi Bei, captain of the basketball team and the object of everyone's affection, smiled brightly as he sent the ball cleanly through the hoop.

But when he played games, he'd play Chu Yunyu's voice over and over as he climbed toward ecstasy.

His bright eyes turned dark. "A-Yu thinks I'm a girl. What should I do?"

Chu Yunyu didn't have high expectations. He just wanted to graduate like an ordinary person, find a job, have a normal relationship, get married...

But then...

The handsome senior he admired from afar confessed to him.

The young, handsome finance professor he'd never expected to get close to deliberately flirted with him.

A junior he'd run into by chance also latched onto him like an affectionate puppy.

They all said they loved him to the bone and couldn't live without him.

Chu Yunyu had no idea what they saw in him or how he'd become such a prize they were all fighting over.

Could he change, then?!

But the men had already turned into mad dogs, and they told him, "A-Yu, that's not going to happen. If you provoke any one of us, you'd better be ready to spend the rest of your life unable to escape!"

Reading guide:

1. There will be a love rivalry, and there are more men than just these few.

2. The ending is open. There may be an alternate-timeline bonus chapter.

3. The receiving partner is somewhat old-fashioned and insecure. He thinks of himself as ordinary and keeps trying to run away.

Theme: Promote traditional culture.
