[Snarky, Cunning, Easygoing Author Who Transmigrates into a Book] X [Naturally Clueless, Self-Deluding, Wise Reborn Top]

Pure-love author Rong Ziqing transmigrates into a book. The moment he opens his eyes, he discovers that he's become cultivation partners with the loyal second male lead from his own novel.

The pure-hearted shut-in hasn't even dated anyone, and he's already been bound to a bargain husband.

Worse, he discovers that Wei Liang, his second male lead who should be aloof and cold, devoted to the original novel's protagonist, and utterly clueless about romance, seems to have gone wildly out of character.

For example:

Original plot: The second male lead loves the original protagonist and would never accept anyone else's advances!

What actually happens: Wei Liang tears into the original protagonist, takes the initiative to join cultivation with Rong Ziqing, seals their cultivation-partner pact, and defends him at every turn.

Original plot: The second male lead has impeccable virtue and would never get intimate with anyone else!

What actually happens: Wei Liang kisses Rong Ziqing like crazy the moment they meet! Kisses him nonstop! He can spend four hours a day kissing him!

After transmigrating, whenever Rong Ziqing opens his mouth, he gets kissed until he questions his entire existence. It goes roughly like this:

Wei Liang (expressionless): Mwah, mwah, mwah. Rong Ziqing, you're sweet. One kiss.

Wei Liang (cold and merciless): Mwah, mwah, mwah. Rong Ziqing, you're cute. One more kiss.

Wei Liang (wild with passion): Mwah, mwah, mwah. Rong Ziqing opened his mouth. I'm going to kiss him like crazy!

Rong Ziqing is kissed until he melts into a puddle, dazed and confused: oQo???

How did my little guy go so out of character? What happened to that cold and aloof personality?

And Wei Liang comes up with countless excuses to force kisses on him...

Rong Ziqing: My chronic laziness is acting up. I don't want to cultivate. I'm going to lie flat.

Wei Liang: Rong Ziqing likes kisses. A kiss will motivate him to cultivate. (Shameless kissing activated.)

Rong Ziqing: I'm in a bad mood, questioning my life, with my cat ears drooping in tears.

Wei Liang: Rong Ziqing is unhappy. He needs a kiss. (Shameless kissing activated.)

Rong Ziqing: I'm in a great mood, smiling brightly and typing away like crazy.

Wei Liang: Rong Ziqing... needs a kiss! (Shameless kissing activated.)

Rong Ziqing: I. Am. Breathing.

Wei Liang: He. Needs. A. Kiss!

Kissed dizzy and wearing a world-weary expression, Rong Ziqing ponders: Who on earth started the rumor that I like shameless kisses?!

But... his big boy really is an amazing kisser. Four hours of kissing a day... might not be so bad.

And so Rong Ziqing gives in to all the kisses and responds of his own accord: "Liangliang, one more!"

Wei Liang, who's lived a second life, nods and sums up the lessons of his previous life: Rong Ziqing really does love kisses best!

Reader's Guide:

1. Mainly from the bottom's perspective, with occasional perspective shifts. They dote on each other, both are virgins, and it's one-on-one. They're both completely devoted to each other. The top loved the bottom, and only the bottom, in both his past and present lives.

2. In his previous life, the top once kissed the original protagonist on the face (a very light touch, barely a brush), but it wasn't romantic. The top has a simplistic understanding of emotions, and did it because he was imitating his dad (the first male lead) kissing his mom (the original protagonist), thinking, "Dad kissed Mom, so I want to try it too." Other than that, he has never crossed the line with anyone, including the bottom (Rong Ziqing) in his previous life.

3. This is an ensemble story. The original protagonist has four male leads in the original novel. He and the other three male leads get plenty of page time, but their stories aren't romantic and are relevant to the main plot. The original protagonist and the third male lead aren't virgins, but they aren't a secondary couple. They're important supporting characters, though some original-novel excerpts will appear (the uncensored, everyone-loves-the-bottom version). Readers who prefer chaste characters, please take note.

4. The worldbuilding isn't very important. The setting is broadly high-magic, but the protagonists rarely cultivate in earnest. The main plot is exploring the world of the book, falling in love, and enjoying the drama. No character is perfect, and the brutal survival-of-the-fittest world makes their values seem questionable.

5. A slow-burn story, with absurd comedy and kissing from beginning to end. The leads kiss passionately regardless of the occasion: a little kiss every three chapters, a big one every ten, and even kisses while fighting the final boss.

6. Many jokes about women's fiction are time-sensitive and reflect only the author's observations at the time, not their stance. Please keep that in mind, dear readers -3-

7. Please protect your wallet and don't buy the whole story at once! QAQ Feel free to drop the story without telling me~
