I’ll keep updating diligently 💪 Blurb When Shen Shizhen comes up, most of his classmates just shake their heads and say they don’t remember him. There was only one person in class with slightly long hair, a gloomy figure who stayed silent all day and never socialized, with pale skin and a body thin as a sheet of paper. Then, one day, Shen Shizhen, whose father didn’t love him and whose mother didn’t care for him, and who’d get stepped on even when he crouched to tie his shoelaces at school, transmigrated into a beloved heartthrob adored by everyone. His presence shot straight up to 100%. 【World One】Fake Young Master, But the Real Young Master’s First Love【Complete】 After graduating abroad, the eldest young master of the Shen family returned home. His first surprise was learning from his hapless parents that he’d been switched at birth. Shen Shizhen: Why does this plot sound so familiar? So, like someone who’d done this once before, he swiftly packed his bags and left. As he was sleeping on the street with nowhere to go, the System spoke in a perfectly serious voice in his ear: “Zhenzhen, you left your money at home.” Shen Shizhen sneaked back in the middle of the night and found the whole family sitting in his empty room, sighing and regretting things. They were practically in tears. When his eldest brother found him the next day, dark circles and bloodshot eyes and all, Shen Shizhen thought in a daze that perhaps things really were different this time. And that wasn’t all. When he met the real young master who’d been switched at birth, the victim in all this, he saw no mockery or disdain on that sharp face that seemed too mature for his age. Instead, he saw a bashful, earnest smile with a hint of determination to win him over. Shen Shizhen: ? That night, the real young master suddenly blocked his bedroom door. The overwhelming difference in their heights left Shen Shizhen trapped like a little chick. Shen Shizhen thought he’d come to hold him accountable, and had already run through countless apologies and attempts to make amends in his head. But just as he was about to speak, he looked up and met the real young master’s aggrieved, unwilling, tear-bright gaze. “Zhenzhen, have you really forgotten me?” 【World Two】The Patron of a Popular Star Loses His Secret Identity【Complete】 At twenty, Shen Shizhen became an overnight sensation as a rookie unlike any other. Shen Shizhen only wanted to work hard at honing his skills and wasn’t good at variety shows. Socially anxious, he stepped into the spotlight, stiffly struck a few poses he thought were perfectly fine, and left his name on the signing board in the neat, painfully straight handwriting of an elementary school student. The System’s voice was utterly emotionless: “Wow, so cute.” The audience and fans below the stage: “Wow, so cute.” At a reception banquet, faced with countless prickling stares and unable to hold his liquor, Shen Shizhen made a pathetic dash for the bathroom in full view of everyone. On the way, he stumbled into someone. In an instant, Shen Shizhen was enveloped by a pleasant pine scent. The person gently steadied him and called him by the childhood nickname nobody had known before, but his fans now used every day: “Zhenzhen?” Shen Shizhen immediately broke out in goosebumps. A few months later, just as Shen Shizhen was about to debut on a talent show, someone exposed him riding in the same car as his patron. The trending topic shot to the top of the list. Within minutes, the malicious hashtags vanished, and the trending topics changed abruptly: #Zhou Zhichu Loves So Deeply# #Mr Zhou Your Secret Identity Is Showing# 【World Three】The Widowed Husband Everyone Covets Shen Shizhen looked at the modified qipao he was wearing, then turned to see the bustling Republican-era street outside the window. Shen Shizhen: ? This can’t be right. The System spoke calmly, though there was a strange note of guilt and panic in its voice. “Oh, maybe there’s a bug.” On his first day back at the residence, Shen Shizhen saw white mourning banners and mourning clothes everywhere. He stood out as he made his way through the crowd. The two men in the mourning hall saw him and spoke at the same time: “Eldest sister-in-law.” “Stepmother.” Her husband was dead. The young widower Shen Shizhen had planned to escape the feudal thinking of the old society and embrace freedom, but he was caught and brought back on his very first day out. His late husband’s younger brother held him in an unyielding embrace, while his previously gentle and well-behaved stepson dropped his act completely, pinching his waist until it left red marks. Caught between the two, Shen Shizhen, exhausted by watching men compete for someone, thought in despair: Which one of us is actually living in a feudal society? 【World Four】 … Bonus Scene 1 The System always thought its new Host wasn’t proactive enough and showed no interest in the targets. At this rate, their affection scores would stay at absolute zero. At first, it could only watch as the unmotivated Shen Shizhen effortlessly maxed out their affection scores. Then it watched, step by step, as its Host was held in his targets’ arms and kissed, and even ended up in bed with them. The System’s voice trembled: “Zhenzhen, was this part of your plan too?!” Bonus Scene 2 Shen Shizhen had been learning how to be a proper heartthrob lately. The System patiently explained: “You don’t have to learn how to be a heartthrob. People will like you no matter what!” Shen Shizhen thought about it for a moment and realized that might be true, since all his targets seemed to like the little mole beneath his eye, a sign of bad luck. Whenever he whimpered and covered it so they couldn’t see, a hand would insistently move his away, then gently kiss the spot. “Don’t… It’s unlucky.” “Zhenzhen, I like it very much.” At ten years old, Shen Shizhen stood outside a dilapidated, filthy apartment building, pondering the meaning of life. He thought life was as bitter as it could get, like a bitter melon: no matter how awful it tasted, you still had to swallow it. At twenty, Shen Shizhen tasted life’s sweetness for the first time and thought that perhaps everything could start over.

A handsome gong and beautiful shou in a feudal setting, with a size difference. For the 365 days Jiang Mingqiao spent as Zheng Jianqiu’s lover, he regretted every day that he’d opened that door. Possessive, scheming, unhinged gong x gentle, unlucky married-wife shou Blurb 1. Jiang Mingqiao considered himself fortunate in life. His family was only average, but after graduating university he stayed on as a teacher, giving him a steady job. He had a longtime partner by his side, and they lived a simple, ordinary life. But then someone barged into his life without warning, ruthlessly shattering the peace he’d maintained for years. Until then, Jiang Mingqiao had thought of Zheng Jianqiu as nothing but cold. He seemed to look at everyone as if they were corpses. Now that impression was being burned and reborn all over again. Rude, heartless, even brutal, as if that rotten nature had been in his bones from the beginning, taking root as a child, growing lush and flourishing until it became part of him. By day he pretended to care for Jiang Mingqiao. At night he indulged in boundless, shameless demands, until Jiang Mingqiao was left utterly helpless, too exhausted even to lift a hand and push him away. Jiang Mingqiao and his ex-boyfriend had known each other for years, long past the most affectionate stage. Being forced by Zheng Jianqiu was like making a spring gush from land that had been dry for years. That’s right, his longtime partner had now become his ex-boyfriend. Jiang Mingqiao added one more thing to his impression of Zheng Jianqiu: shameless. 2. Jiang Mingqiao could no longer stand this utterly inhumane life, where he was completely coerced and half-kept captive. He’d been unlucky enough to get involved with that man in the first place and had no choice but to submit, but he couldn’t stand living at someone else’s mercy forever. As usual, Zheng Jianqiu came back late that night and carried Jiang Mingqiao into the bedroom without a word. In the middle of their kissing and embracing, Jiang Mingqiao finally protested in a muddled voice: “What did I ever do to you for you to torment me like this?” Zheng Jianqiu looked puzzled. He glanced down, then, though he didn’t understand, answered tactfully: “Is it that uncomfortable? I’ll buy something tomorrow to make it more comfortable for you.” “…” Jiang Mingqiao could take no more. “I mean, I’m sick of being kept by you every day and having no rights! I’d rather die than tell anyone our secret. Can’t you just let me go?!” Zheng Jianqiu thought it over. He decided he probably hadn’t been attentive enough or given Jiang Mingqiao enough money. Most importantly, he’d latched onto one keyword: “Kept?” Zheng Jianqiu: “Aren’t we dating?” Jiang Mingqiao: “???” 3. After meeting Zheng Jianqiu, Jiang Mingqiao felt his life had become nothing but one misfortune after another. Then, by chance, he found a photograph in a drawer in Zheng Jianqiu’s room. The moment he saw what was in it, a cold sweat broke out all over him. The person in the picture was him in high school. He’d represented his class at a sports meet, smiling brightly into the camera. There was a short line written on the back, though it was hard to make out. “Taken October 24, 2016. Qiaoqiao at the sports meet.” It was signed by Zheng Jianqiu. Theme: Saving each other
