The Defective One Who Is Desired [Quick Transmigration]

[Please add my next novel, The Inferior Extra Being Coveted [Quick Transmigration], to your reading list. The blurb is at the end.] There is always a character like this in novels. He has beauty that almost rivals the true heartthrob, yet he is stupid, greedy, jealous, shortsighted, unambitious, and vain. His sole purpose is to highlight the true heartthrob’s purity and perfection. In the end, he loses everything, is hated by everyone, and is cast into the dust, becoming a pitiful, dim foil. That is exactly the kind of low-grade heartthrob Jiang Qingci plays. At first, the System was quite confident in him. Before entering a Quick Transmigration world, Jiang Qingci was indeed beautiful and charming, and had attracted plenty of admirers. But his character was so poor that he had never managed to have a relationship, not even once, before he died. He was practically perfect for the role. What it did not know was that, until the very moment he died, the people who adored Jiang Qingci had never stopped being infatuated with him for even an instant. [The Impostor] Jiang Qingci is the heartthrob’s childhood friend. The heartthrob is a kind, genuinely saintly person. He rescues an injured young master fallen on hard times and helps a CEO sober up at a bar. Jiang Qingci, meanwhile, is wicked to the core. Not only is he kept by the heartthrob, he goes clubbing with the money the heartthrob earns from working eight jobs, and even tries to claim credit for the heartthrob’s kindness, tricking the CEO and the rich young master into thinking he was the one who saved them. He enjoys their affection with a clear conscience. When the truth comes out, the heartthrob should be utterly disappointed in him, while the men he deceived should join forces to take revenge and ruin him. He should lose everything and freeze to death on the street. But when his true nature is finally exposed, what he receives is the heartthrob’s inscrutable gaze. “A-Ci, I can give you anything you want. Why did you have to go and seduce those men?” Jiang Qingci runs away in a panic, only to fall into the arms of another man. The men he deceived catch him. He does not lose everything, except... [Artificial Merman] Jiang Qingci is an artificial merman created at a research institute using merman blood. At the institute, he is the brightest star. But when the institute captures a real merman, the beautiful blue-and-purple merman makes Jiang Qingci, a fake, seem especially dull and ugly. Desperate to win back the affection he once had, Jiang Qingci commits countless wrongs, even trying to help the real merman escape. He never expects that the heartthrob merman, who should have despised him as a fake, will take him back to the merman’s habitat. The merman’s tail coils tightly around him, demanding that he become his mate. Human ships surround the merman’s habitat and demand that the merfolk hand over humanity’s treasure. [Immortal Lord of Misfortune] Jiang Qingci is the immortal in charge of misfortune in the immortal realm. Wherever misfortune exists, so does he. When a mortal battlefield turns against its defenders, a general sees him between life and death. A young emperor catches sight of him while fleeing, too. No matter how chaotic the world becomes, he always wears white, pristine as an immortal banished from heaven. The general reclaims his territory, and the emperor regains his power, but they can no longer see Jiang Qingci. They should have fallen in love with the Immortal Lord of Fortune, who governs good luck, and disdained Jiang Qingci, who governs misfortune. Yet after Jiang Qingci disappears, they go mad with pleas to the heavens to send him back to the mortal world. For that, they are willing to endure misfortune forever. In the end, even the heartthrob Immortal Lord of Fortune clasps Jiang Qingci’s hands tightly. “Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. That is how everything works. We are the ones who belong together, inseparable.” [The Substitute Streamer] Jiang Qingci is a little substitute kept by a CEO. The CEO’s one true love is a beautiful, aloof heartthrob, too untouchable to defile. Everyone loves him but no one can have him, so they turn their attention to the greedy, power-hungry substitute. They stop to admire Jiang Qingci because he resembles the one true love, yet secretly look down on him for his inferior character. But they never imagine that the greedy substitute will start livestreaming as a lookalike for hire. “For one bomb, I’ll say one sentence in his voice. For one rocket, five sentences... For a deep-sea bomb...” The substitute presses his lips together and smiles. “Then I’m your boss’s to command. Whatever you want me to be, I’ll be.” The CEO explodes when he sees the livestream. But when he rushes to the substitute’s home to confront him, he discovers that the one true love he has longed for but could never have is gripping the substitute’s wrist and coaxing him softly. “If you want to make money by pretending to be me, why not stay by my side? You can learn to be anything I am.” And among those who come to settle the score are the current top-tier star, an esports celebrity, the CEO of a rival company... The System watches as, without exception, both the heartthrob and the high-quality prospects who should have been pursuing him all fall in love with Jiang Qingci. The System is baffled: Are you actually doing your missions properly? Why have they all fallen for you? Jiang Qingci, wildly adored by everyone, manages to break away from a kiss and asks blankly, “I don’t know either. How did this happen?” But even the System begins to act strangely. At first it is cold and indifferent. In the end, it speaks in a restrained, repressed voice: “Stay away from those bad men. They’ll swallow you whole.” A sweet, bad-tempered beauty bottom × an obsessive, possessive God of the Main System top [Here is the blurb for my next Quick Transmigration novel!] The Inferior Extra Being Coveted [Quick Transmigration] In heartthrob novels, there is always an extra character who is greedy, jealous, and a compulsive liar, constantly changing his mind and repeatedly opposing the heartthrob. In the end, he serves only as a contrast, showing how happy and wonderful the heartthrob’s life is, before ending his own life in pain and despair. Shi Yan is a minor actor from the Lower City, where wicked people are everywhere. He is motivated only by profit and has a scandal-ridden past. Despite having a face of almost miraculous beauty, he never gets good roles and is swarmed by haters. He is perfectly suited to play the inferior extra who highlights the heartthrob’s goodness and kindness, so the moment he dies, the Extra Role-Playing System swiftly binds itself to him. The System simply never expected Shi Yan’s beauty and wickedness to surpass all its expectations. The combination of extraordinary beauty and a terrible personality turns out to be irresistibly alluring, attracting countless covetous eyes. [The Gloomy Wheelchair-Bound Student in an Old Apartment Building] Like the heartthrob, Shi Yan is a poor student living in an old apartment building. But unlike the sunny, gentle heartthrob, he is gloomy and sharp-tongued. After breaking his leg, he bristles at everyone. He treats every classmate who comes to visit him with hostility, takes their care for granted, and eventually dies after being tortured by the heartthrob’s father’s debt collectors. But when he coldly pushes people away, the top student bends down and traps him in his wheelchair, wantonly pecking at his lips. The school bully gets slapped by him, then grins and offers his other cheek, asking Shi Yan to hit him again. Shi Yan has nothing but a poisonous tongue, and is completely helpless against these young men blessed by fortune. In his wheelchair, he cannot get far if he tries to run. All he can do is curse their audacity while they pin down his chair and kiss him until his whole body trembles. [The Blind High Priest of a Desert Kingdom] As the high priest of a desert kingdom, Shi Yan cannot see, but can wield divine power. Outwardly, he is pure and detached from worldly concerns, but inwardly, he is jealous of the talented. When the prophesied savior, destined to attract everyone’s attention, appears, Shi Yan resents him for stealing his spotlight. He repeatedly makes things difficult for the savior and his supporters, and even tries to have the savior killed. But Shi Yan’s blindness limits him. When he makes things difficult for the savior out of jealousy, the kingdom’s ruler gently strokes his face and guides him in the right direction. His touch is gentle, yet leaves no room for refusal. “High Priest, the savior isn’t here. Don’t mistake someone else for him.” When Shi Yan imprisons and tortures one of the savior’s supporters in the name of purification, he has no idea that the supporter’s sticky gaze has long since settled on his snow-white thigh, exposed as he moves. Worse still, unless someone speaks or uses divine power, he cannot tell who is approaching him. He has no way of knowing whether the person kissing and wantonly caressing him at this very moment is the ruler, a wizard, another member of the royal family, or... the savior. [The Third Party with Skin Hunger Syndrome in a Childhood-Friends Novel] As the heartthrob’s childhood friend, Shi Yan suffers from skin hunger syndrome. Jealous of the heartthrob’s warm, golden heart, he uses his condition as an excuse to get close to the heartthrob’s other childhood friend, his older brother, a classmate, and his secret admirer, maliciously interfering in the heartthrob’s relationships with everyone else. First they hold hands and hug. Then they can kiss and embrace, and eventually they can even touch somewhere deeper... The people he approaches gradually go mad. But as soon as Shi Yan realizes that someone’s feelings for the heartthrob are not as deep as he imagined, he loses interest and moves on to his next target. The people he abandons corner him. Shi Yan tries to escape, but his skin hunger syndrome grows worse as his body becomes accustomed to everyone else’s scent. The moment they grip his wrist, he goes limp in their arms. The heartthrob, supposedly the one with a warm, golden heart, appears behind him and holds him tightly. His gentle voice is low and cold. “You’ve seduced so many people around me. Why not seduce me? I’ve been waiting for you all along.” Shi Yan does not answer. He only trembles even harder. The heartthrob sighs softly. “Fine. I’ll do it myself.” [The Disfigured Student Council President at an Elite Academy] As the student council president at an elite academy, Shi Yan is a notorious defender of privilege. He wears his hair long to hide his ruined face. He is a dagger dipped in poison, and every student at the aristocratic school both fears and respects him. The heartthrob, a poor student, is kind and gentle, stands with the oppressed students, and is supported by all the commoners at the school. Shi Yan throws his weight around at the academy under the name of the imperial prince. The prince should stop and punish him, but when he sees the flame-like scars on Shi Yan’s face, he cannot help lowering his head and kissing the scorching scars. The scions of the powerful are coldly trampled under Shi Yan’s leather shoes. Along with their humiliation, they experience a strange reaction. They glare at him viciously, their hatred at being humiliated turning into deep covetousness and longing. The students at the elite academy gossip freely in private about the face beneath Shi Yan’s scars, as if the scars’ presence means that any of them might have a chance to get close to him. Until one day, the scars disappear... [The Greedy Little Cat Who Eats from Everyone’s Bowl] [The Mute Little Servant Living in the Basement of a Wealthy-Family Novel] [The Profit-Driven Agent on a Dating Reality Show] [The Beautiful Evil Corpse Haunting a Town in a Cultivation Novel] [The Single Father Streamer Who Likes Cross-Dressing] Watching the protagonist tops who should have been pursuing the heartthrob become madly infatuated with the extra Shi Yan, the System sheds tears of regret. But before it can question him, Shi Yan curses it out first. “This is all because of the lousy worlds and lousy character settings you picked! Those people are like wild dogs. They’re clinging to me, and I can’t shake them off!” The System looks at the one, two, three, four... protagonist tops chasing after Shi Yan and decides to keep its mouth shut. A bad-tempered, externally draining, breathtaking heartthrob beauty bottom × an assortment of obsessive, lovesick, split-personality tops Note: 1. The number of split-off versions of the top varies from world to world. The top has no connection whatsoever to the original heartthrob, and devotes himself wholly to his wife. The top’s chastity is his entry ticket to the competition. Anyone who has lost his chastity is unworthy of being his wife’s dog. 2. This is a bottom-focused story, and the kinks are a little wicked. It includes plenty of crowd-pleasing scenes, such as (pretend) taking someone by force. If you can’t accept that, stop reading in time and enjoy your day. Theme: Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil.
