[The full novel is complete. Please support the official release! My other novel, The Straight-Laced Childhood Friend Lost His Memory, is currently updating. Check it out if you're interested! P.S. If you've bought the whole book, please leave a five-star review, okay? (wink)] Jiang Qin transmigrates into an ensemble-cast novel full of melodrama and stand-ins. The scum gong protagonists number four: his childhood friend from next door, his nemesis, his ex-boyfriend, and a wealthy young master who went missing before they ever met. The good news: He isn't the protagonist's stand-in shou. The bad news: He's the unattainable white moonlight of the scum gongs, and after repeatedly courting death, he'll meet an early end that sets the crematorium plot in motion. Jiang Qin: If I stop courting death, can I avoid dying young? QAQ So his gentle childhood friend grips the stand-in by the throat, his face dark. "Smile again, until you look like him." Jiang Qin quietly lowers the corners of his mouth. Actually, I was born not to smile. His tsundere nemesis pins the stand-in against a vanity table and confesses his love to the stand-in's face in a frenzy. "Jiang Qin, I like you. I like you, I like..." Jiang Qin covers his ears and runs as fast as he can. Blah blah, can't hear you, can't hear you. His gloomy ex-boyfriend, after being dumped by him, brings a stand-in over to gloat, gnashing his teeth. "Jiang Qin, you're just a stand-in. The one I love is him." Jiang Qin smiles understandingly, lips pressed together, and says from the heart, "You've finally figured out your feelings. Congratulations on finding true love." As for the wealthy young master who went missing, Jiang Qin simply avoids the scene where they meet, sparing the scum gong's stand-in a few years of detours. When the time comes, Jiang Qin will drag along a suitcase and fake his death to fill in the early-death plot point. On the day he fakes his death, Jiang Qin first says goodbye to the senior he's secretly in love with, planning to confess when he comes back. Then he drags his completely empty suitcase and sprints to the seaside, performing a hundred-meter dash into the ocean in front of three pairs of scum gongs and their stand-ins. Jiang Qin shuts his eyes and plunges into the sea with a splash. !!! Where's the little yacht he arranged?! His fake death turns into an actual suicide attempt in an instant. When he wakes again, he's in a pitch-black little room. Jiang Qin rattles the silver handcuffs around his wrists, wondering whether he's ended up in heaven or hell. When a familiar warmth travels from his ankle up to his waist, Jiang Qin shudders all over and cries out in disbelief: "Senior?" His senior's dark eyes roil. "Mm." He didn't die. His senior saved him. But how did his senior know he was going to fake his death? Later, Jiang Qin accidentally finds his senior's household registration booklet, and in the section for former names, he sees the name of the fourth scum gong, who has yet to appear. His secret crush on his senior has turned into a scum gong. Jiang Qin pushes his senior into the arms of the stand-in shou with a pained expression, then dutifully plays the pretty little ornament. After the Nth obvious attempt to distance himself, the man puts silver handcuffs on him again and pins him to the bed. "What's with the fuss?" The lemon scent on Liang Chi's collar is still as lovely as ever. Jiang Qin can't help leaning down to sniff it, but his senior catches him by the chin and stops him. "Answer me, Jiang Qin." Jiang Qin feels even more wronged and lets out a soft whimper. "You're a scumbag." Liang Chi is so exasperated that he laughs. "How have I been a scumbag to you? Was it when you told me to have dinner with him and I went, or was it him who lay across my lap last night, crying and shaking his head?" Jiang Qin's ears turn red. He stubbornly protests: "I-I wasn't crying..." Why isn't the plot going the way it's supposed to? QAQ Well-behaved, sweet, beautiful shou x tsundere, scheming, S gong [Please Note] 1. The scum gong really is a scum gong. A huge scumbag, except when it comes to taking measurements. 2. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, sweet and bittersweet main plot with no angst. My Roommate Found Out About My Cross-Dressing Livestream [Optimistic, gentle, sunny shou x gongs who are all more scheming than the last] After being identified as the fake young master, Wen Yuan is shunned and despised by his entire family. Enough is enough. So Wen Yuan runs away from home. To make money, he stumbles into cross-dressing livestreaming and moves into his university dorm with all his belongings. Luckily, all his roommates are warmhearted and honest. Roommate One is gentle and thoughtful. Knowing he's short on money, he often gives him clothes to wear. Roommate Two loves basketball and always asks him to bring him water. Lots of people stare at him, which makes him uncomfortable, but afterward his roommate treats him to a huge meal all by himself. It tastes so good, sob. Roommate Three is a top student who always helps him mark the important material before exams and makes sure he memorizes it, afraid he'll fail. (Though later, if he doesn't memorize it well, he makes him wear a little dress. Good thing he's gotten used to wearing them. QAQ) Roommate Four is even better! He was the first to discover Wen Yuan's cross-dressing livestream, but not only does he keep the secret, he thoughtfully lets Wen Yuan use his home as a streaming room. It's just that he has to sit and watch during every livestream, which makes Wen Yuan a little... embarrassed. - Still, Wen Yuan worries that they'll mind, so he keeps secretly streaming. Until one day, all four roommates come back early for the break. They open the door and see Wen Yuan in a little dress and bunny ears. All four of their gazes darken in unison. That night, the top four supporters in Wen Yuan's livestream turn out to be four familiar usernames. Among the dazzling gift effects, fans of two different celebrities are quick to spot something fishy. [Why is the top supporter's ID exactly the same as the alt account of my favorite actor, Pei...?] Before anyone can react, the second-place supporter sends a string of lavish gifts, overtakes the first, and is exposed as possibly being the heir of the Lu family, who was recently announced to the public. Sharp-eyed fans also recognize the third and fourth supporters. [The third is the campus heartthrob at Q University! He's won a national scholarship every year, and even a top student watches Yuanyuan's livestream?!] [The fourth is that gaming-section master. Do you still remember your fans, waiting bitterly for you to stream by the shores of Daming Lake? (bitter)] [The whole world is one giant Yuanyuan fan meet-and-greet. (lights cigarette)] Wen Yuan is left staring blankly like a capybara. They... aren't ordinary people...? - Later, the Wen family tries to take Wen Yuan back. They show up with the real young master and make a fake apology, only to be blocked at the door by four tall men. "Yuanyuan doesn't want to see you. Leave." "Yuanyuan's family? What a joke. How could our Wen Yuan have such low-class family?" "Legally speaking, you've already lost your guardianship rights." "What kind of dogs are barking out there?" The Wen family: … Theme: Even when life is hard, keep moving forward bravely
