[My new novel, The Consequences of Messing with a Dark, Obsessive Heartthrob, is now available. Please add it to your reading list!] [80% piracy protection. Updates every night at 10 p.m.] This novel is currently undergoing a thorough edit. Please support the official release! Synopsis: Unlike other second male leads who transmigrate into a book and pursue the protagonist shou just to get home sooner, Qiao Jin really has feelings for the protagonist shou... The brotherly kind. Qiao Jin was born into the book and had been desk mates with the protagonist shou since kindergarten. So when he devoted himself to him, he did it wholeheartedly and willingly, turning his unrequited love into friendship. Life in the world of the book was great. The only person who made him nervous was the protagonist shou’s uncle, Yu Fushen, one of the least-mentioned characters in the story. He was cold and reclusive, bedridden for a long time, yet shrewd and calculating. His oppressive presence made people shudder. He was the most untouchable of all the untouchable beauties. Qiao Jin kept his distance and devoted himself to his bro, completely unaware that the plot was quietly falling apart where he couldn’t see it. Soon it was time for his confession to be rejected and his character to exit the story. That day, Qiao Jin waited from dawn until dark with a bouquet in his arms. The protagonist shou never came. Instead, Yu Fushen appeared, drenched in cold wind and rain. “...” Where’s my bro? You’ve wandered onto the wrong set, haven’t you? “Yu Hezhen is already on a plane overseas. I saw him off.” As Qiao Jin stared in shock, the man stood before him. His eyes, which had always ignored Qiao Jin, were now filled with certainty that he would get what he wanted. “Now you can tell me your confession.” “...” Damn it, when did the plot go off the rails? What’s happening now? Is he going to force me into a relationship, or punish himself for shamelessly coveting the protagonist? Neither is okay! * Yu Fushen was the head of a conglomerate and the decision-maker of a top-tier wealthy family. Then one day, he discovered that his world was a book, and that visitors from other worlds kept showing up to “win over” his nephew. How amusing. He looked down on those “conquerors” and their cliched acting, saw through their impatience and desperation, then slowly crushed them one by one like ants. Until Qiao Jin arrived. He admitted that Qiao Jin was the most convincing of all the conquerors who had come before. The young man gave everything for the person he loved, his eyes burning with a passion that never went out. So much so that Yu Fushen wanted to seize that flame and hold it in his hand, even though Qiao Jin was a “conqueror” and the object of his nephew’s affection. His defeated nephew wasn’t willing to give up. Before being forced onto the plane, he left his uncle with one last threat: Uncle, you think you’ve beaten me? Congratulations. You’ve fallen in love with someone who’s as dense as they come. * It didn’t take long for Yu Fushen to understand what he meant. Qiao Jin had disappeared. All the gifts he’d sent were returned. Inside was a note, practically screaming for mercy: Mr. Yu, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have coveted the young master. Yu Fushen’s temple throbbed wildly. “...Qiao Jin, well done.” Top: outwardly sickly, powerful, world-weary and taciturn; inwardly sensitive and possessive. Bottom: outwardly sunny and physically strong; inwardly thickheaded and slow to understand romance. My next novel is now available: The Consequences of Messing with a Dark, Obsessive Heartthrob. Here’s the synopsis: Tu Bai had a sworn enemy he hated with every fiber of his being. First in the exams, adored by the campus goddess, and even his physique was enviable: lean muscle, tall, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was better than Tu Bai at everything. Just as Tu Bai was about to die of rage, he discovered that his world was a book called The Heartthrob Everyone Wants. The heartthrob was his sworn enemy, adored by a crowd of men and perched at the top of the world. All he had to do was crook a finger, and his devoted admirers would bring him whatever he wanted. Tu Bai, meanwhile, was a villainous extra who constantly tripped up his enemy. He was dirt poor, and his ending was miserable. Tu Bai studied the plot for three days and nights, overjoyed. This was basically a book of mistakes! If he just avoided all of them, he could surely crush his sworn enemy underfoot! Hahahaha! This time, I’m taking back everything that belongs to me! Meng Queguan was heaven’s favored son and the sole heir of a wealthy family. Ever since he was little, he’d had the ability to hear people’s thoughts, especially the thoughts of those who coveted him. Watching their expressions and listening to their filthy thoughts made Meng Queguan sick with disgust and murderous rage. With a little clever maneuvering, he made them disappear without a trace. Gradually, those who liked him went from coveting him to fearing him deeply and keeping their distance. Until he heard a voice. “Show-off. You only scored a few points higher than me.” The boy in front of him had just congratulated him. Now he had his pure-white ears perked up, looking at Meng Queguan with admiration. Meng Queguan: “...” Where did this rabbit come from? “Hmph, so what if you’ve got a little money? Think you’re all that?” The boy had skipped the birthday party on the excuse that he wasn’t feeling well, looking so frail anyone would feel sorry for him. Meng Queguan: “...” So he’s a money-hating weirdo, too! “Stupid gay. You don’t have any of the swagger real men have! No wonder men like you!” The boy had just led his crazed pursuer straight to him. Now he stood off to the side, looking completely innocent. Meng Queguan laughed in anger. The little rabbit was blatantly wicked. Every time he pulled a trick, he looked innocent on the outside while cursing Meng Queguan for being an idiot in his thoughts. Fine. You like causing trouble, do you? Meng Queguan picked up the little rabbit, stroked its fur, and smiled beautifully, baring his sharp teeth. * Tu Bai pretended to be an admirer, sending suggestive messages to disgust his target, while watching him grow increasingly trusting. Even though he kept having his face and hands touched, and his lips brushed, Tu Bai put up with it, thinking victory was within reach. Then he saw a wall covered in photos of himself in the other man’s home, and his scalp went numb! The aggressively straight man screamed: “He actually... He actually...!” A figure pressed close behind him. His ear twitched as the young man said, “Oh, you found out. By the way, I didn’t know you liked me this much.” The other man waved the messages full of outrageous dirty talk. Tu Bai’s vision went black. He denied everything to the bitter end: “It absolutely wasn’t me! Heaven above, distinguish the loyal from the treacherous!” A straight bottom who pretends to be cool and innocent but is actually malicious and stupid * a beautiful top who pretends to be a considerate white lotus but is actually a sickly, obsessive, dark and murderous beauty Each brings the other to heel. Neither is any good. Theme: Love can bridge mountains and seas; nothing can stand in its way
