[My next novel is ‘After Becoming the Human Adopted Son of an Entire Family of Evil Gods.’ Please add it to your reading list! Synopsis follows this one ↓] [Zero angst, all feel-good wish fulfillment. My completed gossip novel in the same vein is ‘The Butler Went Viral for Livestreaming Gossip About a Bloodbath Romance and Became Everyone’s Favorite.’] Lin Suxing spent eighteen years growing up away from home. One day, the wealthy Lin family finally recognized him as their own, and he was bound to a face-slapping System. The face-slapping System told him he was the cannon-fodder biological son in a morally outrageous harem romance, and that after being brought back to the wealthy family, he’d be framed at every turn by the scheming, seemingly sweet leading man, the fake young master. The System promised that as long as Lin Suxing followed its instructions, he could slap the fake young master in the face, win back his parents’ affection, become wildly popular, and reach the pinnacle of life. Capybara-like, laid-back, and unbothered Lin Suxing: “Oh.” Rather than suffer first and risk failing to turn things around later, he chose to enjoy himself now. He didn’t know whether hardship first would lead to sweetness later, but he was sure that starting with sweetness meant he’d enjoy it! The face-slapping System used to be a gossip System. Seeing Lin Suxing give up, it could only tempt him with all kinds of juicy, sensational scandals from this world’s wealthy families and entertainment industry. “...Don’t you want to know what happens next? Finish the task, and I’ll tell you.” ** On the idol survival show Youth 101, Lin Suxing and the other contestants were divided into six groups to perform different acts. Each group would vote for its own center. [Complete the task “Claim your group’s center position and a spot on tonight’s livestream” to unlock the scandal about a contestant who has a secret boyfriend but gets caught having a passionate bathroom tryst with a teammate!] Lin Suxing, an introverted, socially anxious I-person, was already cringing so hard at the thought of fighting for center that his toes could dig out a fantasy castle. “I’m not interested...” The other contestants: “We are! We’re all interested! Damn it, System, spill already!” Lin Suxing was hiding in a corner slacking off when the contestants unanimously voted him center, and the show’s staff dragged him off to livestream. “?” ** The fake young master framed Lin Suxing for stealing the family’s luxury jewelry. Just as Lin’s parents were about to confine him after believing the fake young master, they suddenly heard Lin Suxing talking to the System. [Complete the task “Convince your parents and clear your name of the theft” to unlock the juicy gossip about Grandpa Fu’s two-year-old illegitimate child! I can even tell you where the child is being hidden now...] Lin Suxing: “I don’t want to hear it.” Lin’s mother and father: “?? We do! Grandpa’s over eighty. How can he have a two-year-old illegitimate child? Is he really that vigorous at his age!?” Before Lin Suxing could leave, his father stopped him. “Son, we wronged you. We know you didn’t steal anything.” Lin Suxing: “?” After the task was complete, Lin’s father felt his world collapse: the person Grandpa had hired for sex was the same person he’d been seeing on the side! ** [Complete the task “Invite the Hong Kong entertainment mogul first and replace the fake young master as his banquet date” to unlock the mogul family’s secrets, including the whereabouts of his biological mother!] The powerful man surnamed Li, who had been quietly sipping wine, jerked his head up. “?” Lin Suxing was still sneaking bites of cake when the mogul left the fake young master behind and came over. “Would you like to come to the banquet with me the day after tomorrow?” The young man’s cheeks were fair and soft, a few flecks of chocolate clinging to his lips. His clear, innocent almond eyes made him look like a little rice cake with its filling showing. Li Xinian’s gaze darkened slightly. He wiped the smear from Lin Suxing’s lips with a rough fingertip. “If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.” [Reading Guide] 1.

Synopsis below ↓] Yu Xing transmigrated into a book, ending up in a mildly Lovecraftian apocalypse novel as the human adopted son of an entire family of evil gods. Other transmigrators in parallel worlds made different choices. Some betrayed the evil gods to humanity, only to be discovered and slaughtered by the whole family. Some sided with the evil gods and behaved like obedient adopted children, only to die horribly when the gods were sealed away. Others tried to leave, only to be devoured on the spot by their extremely possessive evil god brother, bones and all. Yu Xing decided to use aggressive affection to force them to kick him out. 1. Cling to the evil god siblings and parents who are always around him, invade their personal space, and make them uncomfortable! 2. Act extremely possessive and fly into a rage at the drop of a hat, making them feel suffocated! 3. Make unreasonable demands, throw tantrums, and refuse to let up until they lose patience! Yu Xing’s family thought their human adopted son/human older brother/human younger brother had been unbearably adorable lately. He was always clinging to them, even stomping his feet and getting mad if they so much as glanced at another human. If they were even a little slow to reply to his messages, he’d start shedding little pearls... The evil god family [moved to tears.jpg]: “He loves us so much! We’ll be a family forever!” Three years later, five ruling gods worked together to maintain order in a collapsed world. They were said to have once been evil gods, saved by a human with the power to purify. They raised this human up to the heavens, making him the only human god in the entire world. [Reading Guide] 1.
