The Soft-Rice-Eating Top's Rules for Rising to the Top [Collection]

I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so here's the simple version:

There are people who are selfish, nasty, and self-centered by nature, yet deep down, they're insecure and pathetic. In the name of love, they use and deceive others emotionally. They happily live off their partners while spouting moralistic prejudice, convinced it's all an equal exchange.

In the end, they die horribly.

And they still refuse to repent.

System: You have to live off him, and you have to truly love him.

Top: I want to refuse.

System: Relive the memories of your brutal death in a loop.

Top: ...

1. A scheming, green-tea, black-lotus, status-seeking top x a wealthy CEO who excels at everything except understanding love

He was born into privilege. To him, money is just sand slipping through his fingers. Is it wrong for me to look out for myself?

2. A pampered rich young man x a sincere, honest, and cool country bumpkin bottom

3. A gentle but calculating poor scholar and social climber x a wealthy, short-tempered, love-struck bottom

4. A gloomy, withdrawn, disabled genius painter x a rational, steady, devoted bottom

Here are four small worlds for now. Some protagonists are reborn with their memories intact, while others return to the time before their rebirth without remembering anything. Their memories of their past lives come from the System playing them back.

Please note: 1. All the bottoms should be hopeless romantics.

2. Before believing in true love, the tops are all insincere and only pretending. Later, they mean it.

3. Aside from the character setups, nothing else in the blurb is guaranteed to match the story.

A mutual-healing story. Essentially, both the top and bottom are starved for love. The plot exists only to serve the romance.
