[A healing, sweet little story, "I Picked Up a Ginseng Baby Who Helps Me Sleep," is now underway! Go check it out if you like. It's a little silly! The blurb is below.]
-
Sang Xun transmigrates into an unfinished danmei novel where no one knows who the protagonist's love interest is, becoming the childhood friend who grew up alongside the protagonist's love interest.
In the original novel, Sang Xun is hopelessly in love with the protagonist's love interest, pining for him, going crazy over him, and banging his head against a wall for him.
But now, seeing all the suitors who are better than him in every way, and thinking about his countless debts...
Forget it. He'd better just wash up and go to bed.
The other male suitors see Sang Xun give up on pursuing Wen Chi, and remember that he's Wen Chi's childhood friend. One by one, they befriend him and occasionally fish for information.
Man No. 1 (rich second-generation): Here's the latest Rolex. It's yours! Um... what kind of food does A Chi like?
Sang Xun puts on the watch, feigning surprise. "You got a date? Congratulations! I'll send you all his favorite restaurants in a bit."
Man No. 2 (popular singer): I think this Ferrari suits you. It's yours! Um... does A Chi have plans this weekend?
Sang Xun takes the car keys and smiles with narrowed eyes. "You're in luck! I'll tell him I'm not feeling well, so we won't go sea fishing together this week!"
Man No. 3 (famous actor): What do you think of this storefront? Just a little something for you. Um... does A Chi have someone he likes?
Sang Xun's eyes light up, and he answers with absolute certainty. "Of course not! Who could possibly be good enough for him besides you?!"
Later, Wen Chi corners him in a room.
Wen Chi's striking face is icy cold. "Sang Xun, someone has been selling my information for personal gain every day. Don't you think he ought to make it up to me?"
Sang Xun struggles a little, his face turning red. "L-let's talk this out. Could you get off me first?"
New story: "I Picked Up a Ginseng Baby Who Helps Me Sleep"
Blurb: Sang Wu is a little ginseng spirit. After gaining consciousness, he decides to retrieve his grandfather's "corpse."
His grandfather's corpse is kept in a luxurious villa whose owner is named Yan Huan.
Yan Huan is said to have an influential background and a cold temperament. He suffers from severe insomnia and hasn't had a decent night's sleep in three whole years, which has made him increasingly violent and gloomy.
Sang Wu is troubled.
If this man won't sleep, how can he sneak into the villa and steal his grandfather's "corpse"?
--
On a dark and stormy night, Yan Huan, who hasn't slept in five days, catches a little thief in his study.
Beneath the bright lights, the little thief has soft hair, a round head, and very pale skin. A faint, lovely fragrance wafts from him as he timidly and politely asks, "Hello. Could you give me my grandfather's corpse?"
Yan Huan grabs the little thief by the neck. The fragrance coming from him makes Yan Huan sleepier and sleepier. In the end, he only vaguely hears the other man ask if he can have his body.
Yan Huan: "...!!!"
So he's a romantic thief after all.
Theme: Work hard, stay positive, and love life
