My next novel is "Reuniting with My God of Wealth Ex". The blurb is at the very bottom.
Zhou Ruyue awakens to the truth: he's the secretary of a domineering CEO in an old-fashioned, brainless melodrama. As an NPC with very few lines but an indispensable role, he's supposed to follow the plot and bring about a wealthy family's tragic romance.
Watching his immediate superior act like a big shot every day has already done serious damage to Zhou Ruyue's mental health. Now they want him to play matchmaker, too?
Zhou Ruyue firmly refuses to work for free.
Then he answers a mysterious phone call: "Twenty thousand yuan for every plot point you advance. Remember to notify your teammates."
Teammates?
Zhou Ruyue turns around and sees the awakened driver and servants of the Li family, along with the CEO's unattainable first love, all waving at him warmly.
He hangs up. For the sake of his employer's beautiful romance, he'll give it his all! NPCs, unite!
But it doesn't take long for him to realize that he's made this job seem far too easy
Auntie Wang, supposedly a master chef, holds up packets of fish-fragrant shredded pork and cola chicken. "How about I make this for Mr. Li today?"
The CEO's mother, bedecked in pearls and jewels, holds the one-million-yuan check she's supposed to throw at the heroine. "What if she actually takes it?"
Old Sun, the driver whose skills rival those of a professional race car driver, panics and sends the CEO flying into the sky. "I'm still a new driver! Could I lose my license?"
The CEO's beautiful ex, dressed in a qipao, digs a hole one shovel at a time. "Should we just bury that scumbag here?"
Zhou Ruyue glances at the CEO, who has only sprained his ankle. "Maybe he can still be saved?"
The CEO's doctor friend gives Zhou Ruyue a doting smile. "It's up to you."
Wait, how is it up to him?! Is this even something he gets to decide?
·
Leading a ragtag bunch like this, Zhou Ruyue finally succeeds in... sending the CEO protagonist to prison, where he can turn over a new leaf.
Then the CEO's doctor friend promptly confesses his feelings to him.
Zhou Ruyue: Wasn't this supposed to be a straight romance?
[Top's POV]
After more than twenty years of being a confirmed bachelor, Xing Yuqi finally falls in love. He falls for Zhou Ruyue at first sight.
All-around concern, attentive care that leaves no room to breathe, and countless carefully planned chance encounters.
Getting to know each other, growing closer, confessing, marrying, and growing old together.
Xing Yuqi's pursuit is proceeding at full speed, just as he planned.
And then Zhou Ruyue loses his memory.
Wait, I had a whole husband, and then he just vanished in a flash?
Zhou Ruyue doesn't recognize him anymore. He's even taken a job at a company run by someone he absolutely hates, spends every day catering to that person, and has to deal with the relationship between that person's unattainable first love and current partner.
He doesn't hate me. He's just been cursed. I'll save him with modern medicine!
Xing Yuqi confidently calls out: "Hey, honey. Come in for a brain CT scan, will you?"
Zhou Ruyue: "Hey! What kind of crooked medical rep are you?!"

"Reuniting with My God of Wealth Ex"

My name is Shan Que, a long-tailed tit and a professional tribulation survivor.
I secretly took sides when Gonggong crashed into Mount Buzhou, helped a Golden Immortal sever his three corpses during King Wu's campaign against King Zhou, ambushed Lion Camel Ridge during Tang Sanzang's journey west, and even earned appearance fees for crossing the sea with the Eight Immortals...
My record is public. You can check with the Star Lord of Fate.
But I've only helped one person through a love tribulation:
Qin Wuhai, the God of Wealth who presides over commerce and fortune.
Passerby: So you're saying the reason you're collecting scrap here is that the God of Wealth is your ex?
Shan Que nods: Yep, that's how it is.
Passerby: Couldn't you just beg him to leave you alone?
Shan Que: You don't get it. A good ex should be as good as dead.
Then came a loud crash from the sky, and someone fell right into the pile of trash he'd just brought home.
Shan Que turns around and realizes it's his supposedly dead ex.
·
Qin Wuhai has lost his memory. He's useless at everything and eats all the food without leaving a scrap.
Amnesiac Qin Wuhai: Who are you?
Shan Que sings in a voice as lovely as a lark's: Son, son, I'm your daddy~
Qin Wuhai: "You hate me that much? I must be the ex you seduced and then abandoned, huh?"
Shan Que burns three sticks of incense before Qin Wuhai's statue and curses him in a dialect he can't understand.
Qin Wuhai: "You worship me that much? I must be the ex you loved but could never have, right?"
While they're on a commission, an evil spirit tricks them, and Qin Wuhai takes several blows in Shan Que's place. Shan Que flies into a rage.
Qin Wuhai: "You worry about me that much? I must be your ex, and we're about to get back together, right?"
Shan Que wipes away a tear. "Have you actually lost your memory or not?"
Qin Wuhai tilts his head and closes his eyes. "Ah, I'm dead."
Shan Que: "Get up and explain yourself, you bastard!"
[Bonus Scene]
On some day in some month of some year, a certain God of Wealth who prefers to remain anonymous opens A Guide to Winning Back Your Wife After the Crematorium with the moonlight as his only lamp.
"Question 3,886: After deceiving your wife's heart and body and then killing her to prove your Dao, how can you win her heart back?
Answer: There's no chance. Stop struggling and turn yourself in at once, you murderer! Your ex-wife will hate you to the depths of her soul and find herself a good man to marry!"
Great. That pretty much sums up Qin Wuhai's situation.
Except that he's the one who was deceived, he's the one who was killed to prove the Dao, and now he's the one trying to win his ex back.
Theme: Make every old-fashioned romance lawful and reasonable.
