Synopsis
(Completed new novel: Who Will Save Me After I Save Him?; upcoming novel: The Love of Chaff, please show your support!)
Blurb:
[The CEO's wife, who fake-married the CEO x the CEO's childhood friend, who can't stand the CEO's wife]
The heroine fake-marries a CEO. She has a dead first love, while the CEO has a sweet, innocent true love.
They agree not to interfere with each other's lives. After they marry, she continues pining for her first love, while the CEO keeps dating his sweet, innocent sweetheart.
A guy who looks just like the heroine's first love joins the CEO's childhood friend's company as an intern. The heroine follows right after him, joining the same company.
Right under the CEO's childhood friend's nose, she showers the male intern with attention.
The CEO's childhood friend doesn't understand, but breaks them up anyway.
One keeps recklessly testing the limits of an affair, while the other is terrified his best buddy will end up with a green hat.
The heroine has lunch in the cafeteria with the male intern, then gets called in by the CEO's childhood friend.
Heroine: Long time no see.
CEO's childhood friend: You're already married.
Heroine: ?
The male intern is transferred to another department. The heroine immediately submits a transfer request of her own, but it gets rejected.
Heroine: Why did you reject my transfer request?
CEO's childhood friend: You're already married.
Heroine: So?
CEO's childhood friend: Does your husband know why you really came here?
Heroine (putting on an act, having a breakdown, fake-crying): Then why don't you ask me why I'm doing this? Just yesterday, he brought his sweet little thing over to confront me. I love him so much, what did I do wrong?! What did I do wrong?...
The CEO's childhood friend is stunned and at a loss.
CEO's childhood friend: ...Go home. I'll talk to him.
The heroine runs out of the office in tears. The moment the door closes, she wipes her eyes and laughs to herself.
Sheng Ze, Sheng Ze, what did you do to deserve such a fatherly friend?
He's always on guard against me, terrified I'll put a green hat on your head.
Stealing someone's lover? Not a chance.
One flirts without realizing it, while the other can't keep his deep feelings in check.
When their surging emotions can no longer be contained, the CEO's childhood friend decisively... fires the heroine. Fires her.
Then, after firing her, he learns that the marriage was fake and that they have divorced.
Male lead: ...
Firing your wife feels great for a moment, then comes the hellish chase to win her back.
[The apparently flirtatious but actually earnest, drama-loving designer Shen Xianxian x the handsome, upright, reserved male boss Li Xiao]
Completed new novel: Who Will Save Me After I Save Him? [Book Transmigration]
A sweet-faced, scheming girl with two sides x a seemingly gloomy guy who's secretly the opposite [Book Transmigration]
Also known as How to Toy with Two Lunatics in the Palm of Your Hand
So what if they're lunatics? I'll tame every one of them.
Lin Xicai has congenital heart disease. On the brink of death, she transmigrates into a campus novel and gets bound to a System that orders her to save a gloomy guy. Succeed, and she gets fifty years added to her life.
She has seen way too many Systems like this in novels.
One word: trite!
Two words: painfully trite!
What a lowbrow, trashy System.
Make a guy fall for me? I'm at the best age of my life, so why do I have to make a guy fall for me? And save him, too? I save him, but who's going to save me? If only you'd changed the task to studying hard. I'd even take getting the highest grades in the year. Anything would be better than this!
Ding-dong!
"Your mission has been successfully changed to getting the highest grades in the year. You have used up all your changes. Please focus on your mission, and good luck!"
?
Lin Xicai was dumbfounded.
Lin Xicai: Um, I was just being tsundere. Can you change it back?
System: Sorry, Host. That's not possible. As you wished, you no longer have to win a guy over. Go win the top spot in your year instead.
Lin Xicai was still alive, but she wouldn't be for long.
With her grades, the top spot in the year?
How was that any different from a death sentence?
She'd had a chance of surviving by eating shit, but now she'd traded it for a packet of arsenic.
Aaaah, don't do this to her!...
Another person trying to win him over had arrived. The gloomy male lead wore a dark expression.
He wondered what tricks this one would try.
Then, in the midst of his annoyance, he suddenly heard a voice in his head: I'm at the best age of my life, so why do I have to save a guy?... If only you'd changed the task to studying hard. I'd even take getting the highest grades in the year. Anything would be better than this!
The gloomy guy lifted his eyes and glanced at Lin Xicai.
The next second, he heard the System announce that her mission had been changed.
The second after that, a girl's shrill, utterly broken scream rang in his ears.
The gloomy guy lifted his eyes and glanced at Lin Xicai a second time...
Later, things took a strange turn.
Lin Xicai realized the gloomy guy seemed to be paying more and more attention to her grades.
After her grades dropped yet again, the gloomy guy dragged her straight back to his house.
Lin Xicai trembled. What was he going to do to her?
The next second, the gloomy guy tossed a stack of workbooks at her. "Do them. You're not going home until you finish."
Lin Xicai was dumbfounded. D-do them as in solve the problems?
Seriously, did he have some kind of KPI for her grades?
#The gloomy guy makes me do homework every day, seven books in one night#
Lin Xicai x Xie Shi
Upcoming: The Love of Chaff
Zhuang Xiyan x Yuan Yilan
A ditzy, unpopular actress x an arrogant top-tier star (a star in public, a fan site administrator in private)
A ridiculous, sweet showbiz rom-com.
The thirty-eighth-tier actress Zhuang Xiyan has been in the industry for five years, but no one in the business has even heard of her.
She has just one aloof fan site administrator, who never gives up on her and quietly stays by her side.
This aloof fan site administrator says little, is skilled, mysterious, and well-connected. She's quite famous in Zhuang Xiyan's fan circle, which has only three thousand followers across the whole internet.
Zhuang Xiyan is deeply moved. Time and again, she messages the administrator privately, hoping to give this mysterious fan, who loves her like crazy, some special fan perks. The mysterious fan coldly refuses.
She wants nothing, only to quietly stay by her side? Zhuang Xiyan is even more touched. With a fan like this, what more could anyone want?
Not long after, Zhuang Xiyan, who has been idle at home for ages, suddenly gets an offer for a role.
It's a named supporting role in a major production, with a top-tier star renowned for his excellent acting as the male lead.
After acting opposite the male lead, Zhuang Xiyan is very impressed with him.
After much hesitation, she finally works up the courage to ask, "Could I add you on WeChat?"
The top-tier star gives her a cool glance and walks away.
Zhuang Xiyan is deeply hurt. She feels looked down on and can't help complaining to her fan site administrator when she gets home.
The aloof administrator, who already doesn't say much, goes completely silent this time.
Zhuang Xiyan senses something is off, and alarm bells ring. "Why aren't you saying anything? You... like Yuan Yilan?"
The aloof fan site administrator says nothing.
Zhuang Xiyan (heartbroken, voice trembling): "Have you switched sides?"
Aloof fan site administrator: "No."
Zhuang Xiyan: "I don't believe you. Prove it."
Aloof fan site administrator: "How?"
Zhuang Xiyan: "Say a few bad things about him, too."
The next second, the aloof administrator goes offline, and her profile picture turns gray.
Zhuang Xiyan's heart turns to ice.
It hurts almost as much as being cruelly abandoned by the wife who stood by her through thick and thin.
The grudge of having her fan stolen is unforgivable. Zhuang Xiyan's opinion of the top-tier star goes from slightly negative to outright negative.
He already has so many fans. Is it too much to ask him not to steal her one and only bestie?
But after she joins the production, one inexplicable coincidence follows another.
Zhuang Xiyan is baffled.
You, top-tier star, what exactly is your relationship with my fan site administrator?
After discovering the top-tier star's secret, Zhuang Xiyan decides to get revenge.
Her way of doing it is to confess to the administrator.
The top-tier star finally loses his composure.
Help: What do I do when the wife I was about to win over has fallen for my fake identity?
Theme: Love is fated by heaven itself.

My favorite is that the male and female protagonists flirt with each other, hehe. I'm waiting for the new article 🤩 🤩 by Laws to open my love for fantasy!!!

Brother is so cruel and ambitious.
The front one confessed his love when he was kidnapped, and the back one proposed directly. That's awesome.
Hahahahahaha I'm laughing so hard Come on come on
So funny, it cured my unhappiness, hahaha
The male protagonist was so misunderstood... Hahaha
I was angry and sad after reading the first half of the chapter, and I laughed out loud at the last two sentences, hahaha
