When people hear the name Shen Shizhen, most of his classmates just shake their heads and say they don't remember him. There was only one person in the class who fit the description: a gloomy figure with slightly long hair, silent all day and never socializing, with skin as pale as paper and a body as thin as a sheet.

Then one day, Shen Shizhen, whose parents didn't love him and who could get stepped on while crouching down to tie his shoes at school, transmigrated into a universally adored heartthrob. His presence shot straight up to 100%.

[World One] Fake Young Master, but the Real Young Master's White Moonlight [Complete]

The eldest son of the Shen family returned home after graduating abroad, and the first surprise awaiting him was the news from his useless parents that he had been switched at birth.

Shen Shizhen: Why does this plot sound so familiar?

He was quick to pack his bags and leave, having learned the ropes from his previous life. As he wandered homeless through the streets, the System spoke in a serious voice in his ear:

"Shizhen, you left your money at home."

Shen Shizhen sneaked back in the middle of the night and saw the whole family sitting in his empty room, sighing with regret, nearly weeping and wailing.

When his eldest brother found him the next day, dark circles and red veins in his eyes, Shen Shizhen thought in a daze that perhaps things really were different this time.

What's more, when he met the real eldest young master, the victim of the mix-up, he saw no mockery or disdain on that sharp face, so mature for his age. Instead, he saw a shy, earnest smile with a hint of determination.

Shen Shizhen: ?

That night, the real young master blocked his way at his bedroom door. The unmistakable difference in their height left Shen Shizhen trapped like a little chick.

Shen Shizhen thought the other man had come to accuse him, and had already run through countless apologies and ways to make amends in his mind.

But just as he opened his mouth, he looked up and met the real young master's aggrieved, unwilling, tearful gaze.

"Shizhen, have you really forgotten me?"

[World Two] The Benefactor of a Top Star Loses His Secret Identity [Complete]

At twenty, Shen Shizhen became an overnight sensation as a monster rookie.

Shen Shizhen only wanted to hone his skills and wasn't good at variety shows. Socially awkward, he stepped into the spotlight, stiffly struck a few poses he thought were perfectly fine, and left his name on the signing board in neat elementary-school handwriting that was devastatingly lacking in sex appeal.

The System said without a trace of emotion, "Wow, so cute."

The audience and fans below the stage: "Wow, so cute."

At a networking dinner, with countless prickling gazes fixed on him and unable to hold his liquor, Shen Shizhen made a pathetic dash for the restroom in full view of everyone.

He stumbled into someone on the way.

In an instant, he was enveloped by a pleasant pine scent. The person gently steadied him and called him by the childhood nickname nobody had known before, but which his fans now used every day:

"Shizhen?"

Shen Shizhen immediately broke out in goosebumps.

A few months later, just as Shen Shizhen was about to make his debut on a talent competition show, rumors broke that he'd been seen riding in the same car as his benefactor. The trending topic shot to the top in no time.

Within minutes, the malicious tags vanished, and the trending topics suddenly changed:

#Zhou Zhichu Loves Him So Much#

#President Zhou, Your Secret Identity Is Out#

[World Three] The Coveted Widower's Husband [Complete]

Shen Shizhen looked at the modified qipao he was wearing, then turned to see the lively streets of Republican-era China outside the window.

Shen Shizhen: ? This can't be right.

The System's calm voice carried a strange trace of guilt and panic: "Ah, maybe there was a bug."

On his first day back at the residence, Shen Shizhen saw white mourning cloth and funeral garments everywhere. Out of place, he walked through the crowd. The two men in the mourning hall saw him and spoke in unison:

"Sister-in-law."

"Little Mom."

Her husband was dead. Shen Shizhen, a young widower, had hoped to escape the feudal thinking of the old society and embrace freedom, but on his very first day out of the residence, he was caught and brought back.

His late husband's younger brother locked him tightly in his arms, leaving no room for refusal. His stepson, who had always been gentle and obedient, finally dropped his disguise too, pinching red marks into Shen Shizhen's waist.

Exhausted from watching them compete for him, Shen Shizhen was trapped between the two and thought in despair: Which of us is the one living in a feudal society?

[World Four]

Little Skit 1

The System always felt that its new Host had a lousy attitude and was completely indifferent to the conquest targets. At this rate, the affection level would stay at zero.

At first, it could only watch as the unmotivated Shen Shizhen maxed out their affection levels without even trying.

Then it watched, step by step, as its Host was pulled into the conquest targets' arms, kissed, and even ended up in bed with them.

The System's voice trembled: Shizhen, was this part of your plan too?!

Little Skit 2

Shen Shizhen had recently been learning how to be a heartthrob.

The System patiently explained: Heartthrobs don't need to learn. Everyone likes them wherever they go!

Shen Shizhen thought about it for a moment and realized that did seem to be true. All his conquest targets seemed to like the unlucky little beauty mark under his eye. Whenever he whimpered and covered it up, a pair of hands would force his hand aside, then gently kiss the spot.

"Don't... It's unlucky."

"Shizhen, I really like it."

At ten years old, Shen Shizhen contemplated the meaning of life outside a dilapidated, filthy apartment building. Life was bitter beyond compare, he thought, like bitter melon. No matter how awful it tasted, you had to swallow it.

At twenty, Shen Shizhen tasted life's sweetness for the first time and thought that maybe everything could start over.

A fatherly, wolfish, or deranged gong with multiple fragments x a formerly disliked, bitter little melon who becomes an oblivious heartthrob, a slow-witted beauty shou

Blurb updated 2025.8.6, revised 2026.3.11

Please read before starting:

1. The gong is a single person split into fragments, not an NP story!! One gong, 1v1, both are each other's only partner!!

2. Not suitable for readers with extreme character preferences. If it makes you uncomfortable, please avoid it.

3. The worlds are connected and will eventually come together into a single main plot, so reading out of order isn't recommended.

This is a somewhat healing story. Hope everyone enjoys it. Muah!

During the 365 days Jiang Mingqiao spent as Zheng Jianqiu's lover, he regretted every day that he'd opened that door.

Possessive, scheming, deranged gong x gentle, unlucky wife shou

Blurb

1. Jiang Mingqiao thought he had a happy life. His family wasn't well-off, but he had landed a stable job as a teacher after graduating from university. He had a longtime partner by his side, and their life was quiet and ordinary.

But then someone barged into his life without warning, ruthlessly shattering the peace he'd maintained for years.

The only impression Jiang Mingqiao had of Zheng Jianqiu was that he was cold. He seemed to look at everyone as if they were corpses. Now that impression had been set ablaze and reforged.

Rude, cold-blooded, even brutal, as if these were rotten roots in his very bones, planted in childhood and grown into a flourishing, deeply ingrained nature.

He pretended to care about Jiang Mingqiao during the day, but at night he demanded whatever he wanted without restraint, until Jiang Mingqiao was left in a miserable state, giving up the struggle and unable even to raise a hand to push him away.

Jiang Mingqiao had known his ex-boyfriend for years. The period when they were inseparable was long past, and forcing him was like making a spring flow from land that had been dry for years.

Yes, the longtime partner in his life 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 endure this life of total coercion and near-captivity, stripped of all human dignity.

He'd been unlucky enough to provoke that man and had no choice but to submit, but he still couldn't stand living at someone else's mercy.

As usual, Zheng Jianqiu came back from outside that night and, without a word, carried Jiang Mingqiao into the bedroom again. In the middle of kissing and holding him, Jiang Mingqiao finally protested in a muffled voice: "What did I ever do to you to deserve this? Why are you tormenting me like this?"

Zheng Jianqiu looked puzzled. He glanced down first, then said tactfully, though he didn't understand: "Is it really that tormenting? I'll buy something tomorrow to make it less uncomfortable for you."

"..."

Jiang Mingqiao could take no more. "I mean I'm sick of being kept by you every day and having no rights! Even if I died, I wouldn't tell anyone about our secret. Can't you let me go?!"

Zheng Jianqiu thought it over for a moment. He decided he must not have shown Jiang Mingqiao enough care, and that he hadn't given him enough money. Most importantly, he'd caught the key word in what Jiang Mingqiao said: "Kept?"

Zheng Jianqiu: "Aren't we dating?"

Jiang Mingqiao: "???"

3. After meeting Zheng Jianqiu, Jiang Mingqiao felt that his life consisted of nothing but bad luck.

Until one day, he happened upon a photo in a drawer in Zheng Jianqiu's room. The moment he saw what was in it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The person in the photo was Jiang Mingqiao in high school. He'd represented his class at a sports meet, smiling brightly and cheerfully at the camera.

There was a small line of writing on the back, faint and hard to make out.

"Taken October 24, 2016. Qiaoqiao at the sports meet."

It was signed by Zheng Jianqiu.
